I will still generally make even trades unless I have a taunt up or I'm holding onto an AOE clear. You don't want to get punished by your opponet's AOE. AOE clears are at an insane premium in the current arena meta so people pick them at any available opportunity.

That would be pretty easy to deal with depending on what the lock was holding.

Rag isn't going to do much on turn 3.
If you are going to go a big minion, lore for cards or boom for ... Boom are your real options. Anything else big is just asking to be taken out straight away leaving you 3 turns of hero power.

Goddamn my ISP and fuck hearthstone arena...cost me multiple losses that should've been wins. I wish there was a bit more leeway with waiting to reconnect. I know d/c's need to count as losses but there's gotta be a better middle ground. So frustrating, especially when you have to pay gold to play Arena..

Power overwhelming on a 4-4 from the egg that popped and then shadow flame also killing my shade
Yeah you are totally right, i went greedy and suffered the price. I also blame my spectators that kinda suggested i rag.....oh well.Also i wonder if rag is even that good in druid.
Both consecrate and truesilver are common for Paladins. If neither showed up then they are either a shit player or a really unlucky paladin.

If you just lost and sent a friend request, they're probably assuming that you want to curse them for their cheap, bull shit deck. I never accept those friend requests either. If you want people to add you, you need to tell them what server you play on as well as the number that appears after your name.

Don't get me wrong, if you can play a turn 3 rag, you play a turn 3 rag.
Always chase the dream.

Just saw the weirdest mage deck on ladder. Started with an unstable ghoul. Thought it was something they'd put in for anti aggro. Turns out the deck had all the secrets and all of the minios had deathrattles, plus they had Baron Rivendare. So at times they had 3 different secrets on. They'd also play Abomination when they had board control and Rivendare was on board. Enough deathrattle to wipe their whole board.
I lost.

The thing is that 2 innervates and a rag isn't actually a good hand, which took me a while to realize.
If you could've played a shredder on turn 2 and a belcher on turn 5 it would've been way better than spending 4 cards to play rag on turn 3, even though it feels stronger
It is by no means a poor legendary - just a bit weird. Sort of makes up for the lack of card draws by adding those murlocs straight to your hand. Give it a try before you make your decision.
You need to include the number after the # and also which region you are in (NA/EU) otherwise people won't be able to add you.

Keep it. It is "ok" at worst and cards like that are always potentially fun.
Keep it. I think it's a decent legendary.
Always picked in Arena.
You will eventually get bored of one class and will want to move on to another.
The game supposedly "releases" tomorrow and the card back should be available then.
Ahh right, cheers!

So is it because i'm new and haven't built a very impressive deck that these ranked matches feel stupidly one sided? I can have a great game then lose it because of 2 or 3 ridiculous cards that give something with 8 health a shield or a secret that gives the hero 8 damn shield when attacked.
It's felt frustrating because i feel i'm losing cause of those cards and not my strategy.

Ladder system is fucked, especially on day one of a season.
Unless you are talking about Ironbark Protector and Ice Barrier...because those are basic/commons, not anything crazy for new players

I should probably stay off ranked till I complete all my basic sets then.

Playing around a Mage's Mirror Entity by playing Annoy-o-tron and a 12/12 Blood Knight (dat Cobalt Guardian tech)? Don't mind if I do.
The Divine Shield Paladin fun is real

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Playing this trash every 3 days in order to do the dailies really reminds me of how stupid I was/am to spend so much money on this game :lol

Was thinking the same thing. Looking forward to it. Haven't touched MtG cards in more than 15 years.
Reach Rank 20 that season

hah Just had the same exact thing happen, Bots cleared my board which pretty much made me lose. Guess it was my 'fault' for trading into them.

He is now. People are wise to patron, so the best way to win is the "oh right, Grom" final blow.
Hey all, just looking for a bit of advice on what to spend dust on. I'm a F2P player (outside of the expansion packs) and am currently sitting on about 200 dust. I play Arena about twice a week and spend the rest on 1-3 packs.
I like playing Druid, Priest, Rogue, and Shaman - probably in that order. I want to like Warlock but the hero needs to be more kawaii.
I have Alexstraza, Jarraxxas, and Mukla.
This I'd what I feel like I need to get -
★Normal★
Defender of Argus x 2
Knife Juggler x 2
I feel like I have most of the other good rates except for Sunwalker x 1, though I could maaaaaybe use another Twilight Drake if I start playing Warlock.
☆Druid☆
Ancient of Lore x 1
Ancient of War x 2
Keeper of the Grove x 2
Maybe Force of Nature (low priority.)
★Shaman★
Lightning Storm x 2
Powermace?
Unfortunately, I have very few mechs.Most of my Shaman play is based around Overload, Destroyers, and Unbound Elementals.
☆Priest☆
I feel like I have most of the priest cards I need outside of Voljin / Velen. If I'm going to be greedy then
Lightbomb x 1
Light of the Naaru x 1
Shadow Madness x 1
★Rogue★
I have no Prep. No Oil. Most success I've had is with Dragon Rogue.
Seems like there's currently only one way to play Rogue and Shaman right now (oil / mech). Druid is either ramp or control.
Should I focus on the normal rares first? Maybe get 1 Defender of Argus / Knife Juggler and then hope I draw another?
Or buckle down and save for another AoW / AoL / other unit?
I'm willing to take a break from Arena and just farm classic packs.The legendaries I'm most interested in are Ysera, Sylvanas, Neptulon, and Malorne.
What say you, GAF? Help a F2P scrub out!

That's like one of the best ones they've made so far.
