Summons two eggs for each spider on the board
ehh if true both will get boring very quickly
Yeah
WHOS RNG IS MORE BULLSHITIs a pretty shit way to play Brawls
that's hearthstone in a nutshell lol
any info on deck slots? its really getting annoying especially with the upcoming expansion. We need more wtf blizzard
My guess would be sometime in the afternoon today or tomorrow.
People were saying that the game needed more cards before GvG dropped, and adding more cards since then still hasn't fixed the underlying problems with the game, only increased them. An aggressive meta was made more aggressive, many cards that would see some use don't because they're too slow, and cards that would be cool to use don't because of BGH except for good old Dr. Boom and a couple of others that give immediate value.
My wallet is praying that Blizzard has figured out how to make the game slower with this expansion, which would allow for more variety in play styles since they refuse to adjust existing cards.
I think Arena will be more fun with the expansion, but constructed will most likely stay the same because of netdecking, aggression, and refinement of gameplay.

Portal is boring but murloc could be fun.
I contend that mage echo murloc still has potential.
Would you rather have new deck slots or Bomb Lobbing Scientist?

Hey guys, I haven't played Hearthstone since about thr first month or two it was out and I was wondering if you guys have some tips. I'm not really looking to play ranked constructed, but arena for sure since I love drafting in Magic: The Gathering. I was also wondering if the single player expansions are needed, and do you guys feel they are worth the money?
I think there is still some art from the initial patch that they haven't used yet, including
one that looked pirate-themed and one that looked Nozdormu-themed

If the only thing you enjoy is arena then no the singleplayer adventures are not worth it for its content.

Are they enjoyable just on their own? Or are they really only worth it to get access to cards for ranked constructed?

I personally enjoyed the expansions and seeing how they set up each fight, but unless you plan on using the cards in constructed that up you unlock, there is no point in buying them. You'll have access to them in Arena.
I was about to say run and never look back because right now (this might change in a year or so) for a new player it's almost impossible to catch up on cards. But since you're primarily interested in arena that's an entirely different deal since it lacks the entire collection aspect, making it an actual level playing field. There are guides in the OP, apart from that I suggest just watching good arena streamers like Ratsmah, Kripp and Hafu to improve your play. It's not too hard to go infite w/dailies in arena (i.e. making a net profit in gold to cover the entry fee), especially with experience in other card games.
They're... alright to play through but almost definitely not worth the price if you're not going to use the cards.
Maddest Scientist. Battlecry: Put a random mage secret into the battlefield. Deathrattle: Put a random hunter secret into the battlefield. Inspire: Put a random Paladin secret into the battlefield.
3 mana 2/2

Thanks for the replies everyone! Yeah, I noticed pretty quickly while playing last night that I was being outclassed by people who just had more recent cards then I did, so I kinda just got turned off from constructed right away. Maybe I'll get into it after building up a better base of cards from Arena, but right now that's not happening. Looks like I'll stay away from the single player expansions as well. Thanks for the advice!

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?
Yes, perhaps I'm not as pessimistic, old, grumpy of a person as other people.
Problem?
But 60 dust right there!
Looking at my statistics at 10 wins, I get 255 gold at average thanks to not getting cards. Random cards as prices seems pretty terrible. They should limit the rewards to epic, legendaries or golden rares at minimum or don't bother giving them.
priest mirrors are so fun, always keeping each other on edge
i swear i played a troll deck earlier or just a really annoying new guy at rank 15. mage with stuff like polymorph, kirin but no secrets, pyroblast etc etc. I had such a lead and got them to 5 health, and they stalled me for like... 7 turns while basically doing nothing. i won eventually tho

I don't think being not hyped for everything new that comes out makes you pessimistic or old/grumpy. If that makes me pessimistic and old/grumpy then I am that.
I still get hyped for stuff no doubt but I am always cautiously optimistic. That's how I am with the new expansion. I expect some cool new stuff but I am not expecting a whole paradigm shift in the game nor am I aching to spend $100+ on packs for it.
With every expansion new decks have shown up and with GvG several very good decks showed up. That's what I'm excited for. I think Patron Warrior has shown that with only 1 or 2 new cards a deck can jump from Tier 4 to Tier 1. GvG allowed aggro mage to transform into Mech Mage by introducing a new tribe and great class specific synergy.
I hope we get some of those new cards that make bad decks great and some new stuff that introduces an all new deck. I love playing during all the experimentation. The crazy matches and unexpected plays are the best of times.
So I am very hyped for the expansion.

Somethings I hope to see in the expansion:
2 Great Dragons - I think Priest and Pally dragon decks need 2 early to mid game cards that will make the decks playable. I think they are pretty low tier right now, but the more good dragons means more consistency for the dragon synergy cards.
1 Viable Inspire Deck - I hope that Shaman can form a great Totem/Inspire deck after the expansion. They have a very good hero power and a few great totems. Hopefully they come out of the other side of the expansion with some great decks. I am probably rooting for shaman because of their cards being revealed, but it looks hopeful.
Murlocs - I know it's aggro scum, but I love murloc decks. I hope we get some mid-game and early sticky murlocs. All that murloc happiness must be shared.

So guys,

Lol I swear that's why I've been checking this thread periodically.
What can I do when my dragon paly was struggling against zoo and hunters on casual mode, have to do that 5 wins daily somehow

Leaks you say? there are these official joke? cards I guess
http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/52797-new-cards-27-07
they have text and everything, wonder what they say.
I think the text is "Battlecry: All the cards in your opponents hand cost (0) mana next turn."
So basically "Battlecry: Your opponent wins the game. No seriously."
Ginger one says :"At the start of your turn, silence a random enemy minion."
Blizz is scared about giving Druid anything strong and for a good fucking reason. Wild Growth+Innervate and even FoN+Savage Roar - the most broken 2-card combo in the game - have massive implications and as long as the class keeps trucking along as is I don't see them changing their approach. It has only fallen off very recently and it's still one of the better non-high tier classes so I wouldn't expect any new Druid cards that are powerful on their own this expansion. What seems likely are cards that (try to) open up alternative playstyles, so either dragons or heavy Inspire synergy.
