Hearthstone |OT5| Corrupted Deeprock Salt
- Thread starter ZealousD
- Start date
Probably had my best Hearthstone win ever earlier today. I was playing Control Warrior vs Control Priest. We had both played Golden Monkey and I had reached fatigue. They were at 12 health and played King Krush to kill my monkey. I then played Tirion to block his Krush. They heal up to 16 and play Gelblin Mekkatourque which summons a Homing Chicken. This is bad for them since one of my three remaining cards is Iron Juggernaut. Seeing that Chicken draw into perfect lethal was one of the most satisfying moments I've ever had.

I generally try to see the upside of new cards or argue why a suboptimal card is still worth printing, but I'm having a really hard time with The Boogeymonster. More than almost any card so far it seems really thoughtless in design.
The Boogeymonster
8 mana, 5/6
Stealth
Cannot be targeted by spells, hero powers, or card effects
If this minion attacks and destroys another minion, it gains +2/+2
This variation, while possibly not balanced in stats, would maintain (and actually improve) the flavor of the card while also being more mechanically interesting.

No you wouldn't. You wouldn't even have the option to do that.
Casters were hyping "chaining Anfin" strats, clearing and whatnot when you literally die immediately from the counter-Anyfin
It's a nuclear stalemate that would be decided only by fatigue if both players were competent
Yup. Gruul, a card no one uses, is strictly better. Boogeymonster would need to gain windfury to be usable.
Is this game accessible to people brand new to CCG's in general? Also how much of a disadvantage do new players have since the game is already a couple years old now? I've always wanted to play but I feel overwhelmed with all the expansions I'll be so behind. Plus, one glance at the healthstone subreddit makes or seem like new players should avoid at all costs. GAF is a far better community IMO so I figured I'd ask here.

The game is great for new card game players and is still very accessible even a couple years in. With the upcoming patch, it will be even easier for new players to succeed with Standard format.
Are you willing to spend money? If so, it's no problem at all. If not, it's still 100% doable, but it will take time. It's still very fun though.
You could say the same about gruul, sorta. Only advantage this has over gruul is he can't be BGHed as soon as he's dropped.

The card reveal vote should still be going right? We should still get 2 cards in the upcoming days.
I'm not opposed to spending if I really like the game and it's a reasonable amount (not hundreds or thousands).
Any guides or resources I should check out? I imagine you can really screw yourself if you don't know what are you doing in terms of deck building. That's always my fear with f2p games.
Anyone ever had a bug where their game has just gotten stuck mid-opponent-turn? My opponent's turn has been going for like 9 minutes now, there's a card hovering over his side of the board but nothing's happening.
EDIT: screw it, guess I'll try conceding to see if I can get out of this. Sucks though.
EDIT 2: the Concede button doesn't work either, it does nothing. WTF?

Gotta watch the teachings of the mayor of valuetown
You disconnected. You'll have to restart the game.

You disconnected and Hearthstone didn't tell you.
They really should fix it so it isn't so confusing, I agree.
There's some in the OP of this thread. My gold/dust/real money video is out of date but I'll do a new one after the new expansion comes out.
We are getting close to the point where I will need to create a new thread. You guys think I should fix the numbering or should Unstable Portal haunt our threads from now until the end of time? I am thinking fixing it makes sense with Unstable Portal getting pushed to Wild, lol.

You honestly don't have to worry too much about deck building when you first start. You can play against the AI until you unlock all 9 classes, and then the game gives you more basic cards until level 10 for each class.
After that, just google "hearthstone level 10 deck mage" or any other class. You'll find stuff like this:
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/352542-trumps-basic-mage-level-10
Which incorporates only basic cards. These are great starting points. Over time you'll just start to see what sort of cards other players have in their decks, which succeed and which don't. And as you start to build your collection (whether just with in-game gold or real money) you'll naturally see what capabilities you have. And you can always just look at sites like Hearthpwn and look at top-rated decks either for budget or top tier.
As far as basic game concepts and strategy, Trump's Teachings are great for new players.

Got in the 5-9 range consistently with my last 5 Arenas. Feels good to level up!

Apparently the thing where poison seeds treants spawn before deathrattles is unintended and is going to get patched eventually.

Fatigue Druid is already dead in Standard anyway. Tree of Life, Grove Tender, Explosive Sheep, and Poison Seeds are all moving to Wild.

Does anyone else still have the bug regularly occur where cards show up as 'New' in your collection even though they aren't? I marvel at the randomness sometimes. Cards that haven't been new to me for over a year suddenly get flagged as new, in addition to the new goldens that actually are new for me in the last little while.
Also, the filter field is bugged as hell on iOS. Sometimes, relaunching the app work. Sometimes it doesn't. I click on it and it jumps around the screen before failing to allow me to enter any text.

Secret Paladin has got me to rank 10, I think this is the best I've ever done. Am I allowed to stop playing this game now?
might as well get to rank 5. Which secret pally deck are you using? I'm only having mixed luck with one blessing of kings, no 4 drop weapon, and one consecration. Hovering around rank 10 right now just doing quests with Druid.

Whichever was the first one that popped on google.
No, the punishment for playing a secret paladin deck is that you need to play it to legend and then feel the shame of what you've done.
Whatever you do, I'd like the laat part of the subtitle to be "also, this brawl sucks."

Rank 8 with secret paladin.
