Someone finally used secret eater on me (wild, I'm playing secret pally).

I still won.

Good game fam

happens all the time and it's never particularly good, even right after a Mysterious Challenger.

Secret paladin is dumb, especially with Secret Keeper + a bunch of secrets in the starting hand. By the time they can get rid of the 6/6 or more the game might as well be over.

 

[Yoshichan]

Final stats this month (rank 5): 32-6 with secret pally, wild

I mean, statistically it's getting harder, and thus longer, each month... but we're talking like 20 additional minutes.

 

[scarlet]

I think Blizzard started loving me.

Opening 2 packs got golden gorehowl, which I actually need.

 

[Rosenskjold]

The climb continues! Gonna push hard tomorrow and see if I can get to rank 5 before season end. Rank 5 and handing in written exam paper on the same day, that would be the dream <3 !!

 

[snack]

All this hunter salt is music to my ears. Rexxars BACK ON THE HUNT!

Maybe I should put some dust to good use for once.

I know that feeling:
"Ugh, I have a paper due today, and I want to get started on it, but Hearthstone's taking so long."

So true! Luckily I've been working on this paper all month and have the whole day tomorrow to read it through and make final changes. I think I'm 3 victories in a row from rank 5. So tense!!!

Don't be discouraged if you lose one of those and your streak. Remember that it's all about your win RATIO, and if you're winning more than losing, you'll get there. If you find yourself making poor decisions due to excitement or anxiety, take a break.

 

[Tarazet]

People are sleeping on Aberrant Berserker. That is a good ass card that fits beautifully into Tempo.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Just played against an anti secret paladin, still ran away with the game. Despite getting 1 secret stolen and 4 eaten.

Who's ready for Fable a Hearthstone card game?

 

[IceMarker]

Who's ready for Fable a Hearthstone card game?

Not before Dragon Age: Heroes of Shit Mountain comes out on mobile.

 

[Karsticles]

Who's ready for Fable a Hearthstone card game?

Fable is crap, so I expect the card game to be crap. I'll try it if it is free.

 

[ZealousD]

I really not convinced you only run one 4 drop in midrange shaman even if that 4 drop broken as fuck

I can't imagine a world where I'd run a single Flamewreathed Faceless and two Thunderbluff Valients.

For that matter, I don't understand why you'd run two Thunderbluff Valients and not run Fire Elemental.

Maybe TempoStorm is intentionally trying to weaken the deck on ladder because they're sick of it.

TempoStorm rarely has the best, most optimized versions of the decklists on their site. So many weird tech choices and head-scratching omissions. I don't know if it's malice or if they think they know better than everyone else, but I wouldn't ever use one of their lists verbatim.

 

[Dahbomb]

I told you guys the actual Tempostorm deck lists should be taken with a grain of salt. They probably pick out the most "unique" variation of the list.

Reynad usually just parrots what some streamer did in a tournament. Tournament decks aren't great on ladder. On sites like Hearthpwn, at least you can find people who've actually used the deck to rank up. Tempostorm is great for real competitive play, but on ladder there's a lot of individual reaction and adjustment to what people are seeing.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

3rd time in a row beaten from advancing to 6 so close yet so far.

The good news is that by the time I make it back to 5 stars it's going to be a winstreak /cry

IIRC, the first guy to hit legendary with midrange Shaman used Thunderbluff Valients, so they're probably taking a note from his deck. I agree on the Faceless point, though.

I can see running one Thunderbluff Valient. It's the kind of card where you push out damage because your opponent is top-decking.

 

[Owzers]

trying to do a paladin quest with n'zoth, nothing but loses to shaman. Ugh this game, it's what i get or thinking i should play something other than Overwatch.

No need for that, took it in one long 5-win streak!!! And the last game was a shaman I tore to shreds!!

I might be freaking out a little bit while my wife is trying to figure out why I'm so excited

I doubt Blizzard cares which game you give them money for.

I know that feeling. "Wife, I got S-Rank in Duelyst!"

Wife: "That's nice hun."

Yeah, that list is 2-3 weeks old. And 2 Valiants is nice. I just went all in earlier today and had a 12/2 healing stream totem. Value!

 

[Rosenskjold]

I'm trying to tell her how few players are in that rank percentage wise, but still no reaction really, to her it's just that game that makes me really upset sometimes ha ha

 

[f0rk]

I play a Flame Imp
My opponent plays Trogg, Coin, Lightning Bolt

wtf is this bullshit

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Man, was kicking ass with Mage in arena, first time ever getting to 10-0. Could I live the dream??? Nope, got deeestroyed three straight. Good pack though.

And a golden Fist of Jaraxxus to go along with it from rewards. Won't have time for rank 5 this month (BLOOD AND WINEEEEEE) so this will do.

 

[Levi]

I'm so sick of reading posts from secret paladins and midrange Shamans about how much they're winning.

No shit you're winning. It's implied that you're gonna win when you pick those decks. It'd be more post-worthy if you were somehow losing.

Speaking of losing, after starting 3-1 today to get back to rank 8 I went 1-16 and dropped a bunch of ranks. That's what I get for playing Druid, I guess. (And not bullshit C'thun Druid, either).

 

[Karsticles]

I'm so sick of reading posts from secret paladins and midrange Shamans about how much they're winning.

We fucking get it. A goddamn chimp could win with those decks. Who gives a shit.

I'm doing my part to give the brainless masses free wins today. After a 3-1 start I went 1-16 and dropped three ranks. That's what I get for playing Token Druid instead of overpowered garbage copied from Hearthpwn.

Why are you using "we"?

I think you have most posts whining about Shaman than all other posters talking about their success combined.

 

[veryslowhand]

La sal es real

 

[Heropon]

2 wins in Arena and I find crazy after crazy deck, what the hell is this? I'm never touching that joke of a mode ever again.

Winning with Shaman isn't interesting or noteworthy. Water is wet, sky is blue, Shaman wins.

I could cry a river of tears against control warriors so much I'd rather concede than play it out. Even if it isn't good right now

Stop making such a big deal about it, then.

Chill. They're only a few drive by posters.

You can always use the ignore feature.

 

[Levi]

I'm putting everyone who plays Shaman or Secret Paladin on my ignore list from now on. Much better for my blood pressure not to read about how easy it is to get to rank 5 when it's a goal completely out of my reach.

I can't wait until I get my next golden hero and I can stop playing ranked mode entirely. I'll miss out on the golden cards Blizzard has decided that people who play OP decks can have for free, but fuck it. I'm not having fun in ranked. It's arena and casual from now on.

Way ahead of you, lol.

rank 5 isn't out of your reach because you're not playing shaman.

 

[poppedcollar69]

tuskar -> mana tide/flametongue

Ahh, there we go, now we're inta the meat an potatoes.

 

[Hero]

Haven't played the game in forever but decided to come back to try out the new cards.

Was very sad about standard but as a Magic player I understand the need to do that.

Made a C'thun deck after opening the packs I had available. Not doing too bad.

What's this midrange shaman deck you guys are talking about that's good?

 

[fertygo]

So what the most replaceable legendary in Tempo Warrior? its must've Cairne right.

I can imagine you can actually play Boulderfist instead

 

[Finalow]

What's this midrange shaman deck you guys are talking about that's good?

this one, also known as Bloodlust shaman
insanely good and quite cheap to make. (you can easily replace Harrison Jones)

 

[Levi]

Yes it is. I am not skilled enough to get rank five. If I played shaman, skill wouldn't be a factor.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

With the amount of times I've been killed by unleash the hounds today you'd think I'm playing in beta. 5 hours ago I was 4 5 stars higher

 

[Zoggy]

If the mysterious challenger and malkorok got into a fight who would win?

 

[Yaboosh]

I put together a cheap zoolock deck and was playing in casual. Aggressive decks are a lot of fun.

 

[KuroNeeko]

I jumped on that Midrange Shaman bandwagon yesterday and lost 6 times on a row. Felt like the worst deck ever. (It's probably not.)

Went back to my sweet, sweet Priest and won the next match...

I think I've been playing Priest too long. (Rank 10 for lyfe)

 

[Gvitor]

Hey guys, I wonder if anyone here can help me. I installed Hearthstone in my notebook and it's lagging like crazy. I searched the internet, found people complaining it was the latest update and recommended deleting some files, others said it was the Windows 10 and recommended putting the .exe in the exclusion list for Windows Defender (which I don't use).

Nothing I tried worked, so I wonder if any of you had the same issues and can shed some light on how to resolve it. I'm about to uninstall it out of anger. Thanks!

 

[Dahbomb]

If the mysterious challenger and malkorok got into a fight who would win?

5 Secrets and a 6/6 vs one weapon and a 6/5?

That hardly seems fair.


Oh and scumbag easy game/easy life rank 5 Midrange Shaman reporting in here. Got to rank 5 with Midrange Shaman (the gawd) in less than 4 hours today.

Levi am cry.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

most lists I've seen usually only run 4 unique secrets.
