so many legendaries, and here i am stuck with smiths in every pack, i got 9 of them
Fuck they need to never every ever every ever make cards that do x-y variable damage. It's so much bullshit rng. People don't like that. It should just a set amount of damage so you can know exactly what to expect

I'd recommend following ADWCTA and Ratsmah reading some of their articles (on Reddit, Hearthstoneplayers.com, etc). They've helped me quite a bit
Oh okay. The main reason I was looking at the adventures would be to unlock new cards though obviously playing them should be fun also. But if buying packs is the best bang for my buck I'll go with that.
I don't know if I'll ever spend money on this. I was really feeling for some card game action but since Magic Duels is still MIA on PS4 I downloaded this and having fun so far doing the single player and even wining a few matches against real opponents. I'll see how it goes but so far I really like how slick it is and only wish WotC could learn from this.
Yikes 700 gold is a lot for me right now. It seems a bit of struggle getting gold and I just want the best route to unlocked some good cards.

Finally got to level 20 in wow, it was fun to see how much I could recognize from hearthstone
When I did it, I went to westfalls. And by chance I ran into old murk eye... for perhaps the only time doing the promotion, I was having a moment. Seeing him run across the beach, I was going to kill him. Put him down for good, like standard. I ran straight at him. I'm a monk so I am about to punch his lights out... and some douche on a mount tags him and kills him from nowhere.
Just reminded me of how dumb WOW actually is.
I have two ideas for fixing hearthstone:
1: Make some buffs unsilenceable. This way you keep the power of silence affects but limit some of the buffs that are affected, thereby lowering its efficacy
2: Make BGH only target minions that have a base attack stat of 7 or higher such that he cannot be used against minions who have received buffs or are subject to increasing returns on their power level (micro machine, gruul, gaz, etc). This way he can still be a removal card, but his efficacy is further limited

The secret (or unique) quests are some that are not advertised and that can reward you with gold or packs.
It'll always be good to spend gold on classic packs, and any packs from any in standard expansion. Arena is not usually recommended for new players till you get familiar with cards and their interactions with other cards, but if you get good at it (ie. get 5 wins on average) you end up paying for the arena with the gold reward you get from that arena (which in turn gets you at least a free pack).
We're also always here to help, so you can always ask questions, we're generally really nice, just high levels of sodium.

Thanks some good stuff there

I would rather silence just be class-based.
BGH shouldn't autokill anything. It's stupid.

I feel like people are going to end up disappointed with all these calls for nerfs come the announcement.

More than two, less than 20, that means at least three are getting changed!

Do you really want a card that nullifies the new badass Old Gods?
Nooooo, Alex needs to be nerfed

Stealthed minions can't be targeted by the enemy, you can target your own stealth minions with anything you want.
Karsticles

Oh. Well, at least I only did it for two Eviscerates.
The opposing player can't target stealthed minions, you yourself can. The ones that can't be targeted by spells or hero power are stuff like spectral knight/laughing sister/faerie dragon. That mechanic is called Elusive ( http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Elusivehttp://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Elusive )
speaking of elusive, I'm surprised more legendaries (or minions too) don't come with it
when i started and was huntering, i caved and crafted an unleashed the hounds, helped a lot and i never drew it from a pack. But ideally....
edit: Seems like i'm never going to round out my standard legendaries i need from packs, getting one legendary every once in awhile and having it be lorewalker cho doesn't help my alex, ysera, deathwing, ragnaros, grommash needs.
It would fuck up deck building. Spells are what really make the classes different, but if you had powerful elusive minions being a big part of the meta, you'd have to focus on battlecry minions to deal with them (off the top of my head, most of the minion destroying/disabling battlecries are on neutrals).
They already stated earlier that they have narrowed it down to 10-12 cards.
Force is fine as long as Roar is nerfed. Ironbeak Owl is the other piece of shit that belongs with those other two.
ethereal conjurer is hands down the best discover card.
mages spells are so good, you can always pick one that will really help you out in whatever situation you're in mid-late game.
its not fair goddamnit ;/
2nd is museum curator, but sometimes you'll pick a deathrattle minion that won't help you out whenever you're ready to play it.

Yeah whenever a mage drops ethereal conjurer I'm like "uh oh" because there is a good chance they are gonna get something good and secrets are harder to play around from conjurer as well.
I still feel Azure Drake is an all around better card for consistency sake, but one off conjurer is pretty great.
I love the suggestion of making savage roar work on beasts only because it would keep Force on Nature intact and would help push the beast theme.
What about dark peddler? I feel it's at least better than museum curator.

I think I hate Ironbeak Owl more than any goddamn thing in any game I've played in recent history.
oh look new metasnapshot...
control warrior is now tier 1, secret paly tier 2. urggghghg RIP to my rogue adventures. I hate t/s.
If that's their ranking, zoo should be #1. It beats zoo and control warrior actually, patron is very winnable too. A lot better than druid vs patron or patron vs cw.
...secret paly vs * is better than all of those match ups...

That's why Keeper of Uldaman needs to be nerfed!
Thanks. I'm working my way through the single player quests now just unlocking cards for all the decks and chipping away at the daily quests. I've used the priest deck against human beings and so far won 2/lost 2 but I think I will swap over to the mage deck as that seems good. I really wish I could choose my own avatar for this though. :-(
I'll definitely pop back in if I have any more questions!

Played a guy that was playing exactly Kibler's concede Shadowfrom Reno Priest. He plays Reno, I'm like whatever I got 30 damage, I forgot I had 9 mana not 10, couldn't play Frostbolt, had to gamble on arcane missiles.
He lives on 1hp, but whatever right it's not like he can Reno again? He brews back the Reno and plays it again, fml. I actually won that game even though I had to do like 100 damage to his face.

I think Force just needs to say "These minions may not attack heroes", and the combo is fine.
Ironbeak Owl should just become a Hunter card. Let each class have a silence that fits it thematically.
*nods* Definitely the most annoying Arena card, too.
Mage playing Control Reno.
Drops Reno.
I kill Reno and sigh.
Duplicate procs.

I actually didn't see that, so I'm pretty interested in seeing what changes then. Hope it has a big impact so that the meta shifts a lot.
I feel like they'll look at Force of Nature over Savage Roar first. Different classes and all, but you never see Shamans run Bloodlust, or it's not for very long. I think a card that rewards keeping a full board is fine. Hard to say what will happen though.
As for Owl, I'd actually be surprised if that gets changed. It's a tool for both aggro and control decks, and it's very important for the former. I know people don't like aggro decks but I feel like everyone would hate a heavy control meta more.
Revealed by blizzpro.
not bad. Can't combo with gromm tho (without thaurissan) :/ Should be good in whatever form of patron deck exists, if any.
Oh right. This is a solid arena card.
