Glad I worked on my quests and brawl packs earlier.
Darn it and I like watching Kripp on brawl night too.

Free legendary for everyone!
The relevant comparison I would draw is to Fire Elemental. That's a legitimately amazing card. There are some cases where the tempo swing from that card is so massive as to be instant concede. Yet it doesn't see much play in constructed simply because there is a stronger aggro list, which it can't be wedged into. I surprised a Priest by coining out a Fire Ele on turn 5, killing a damaged 3 health Auchenai, and he hovered over the card for 10 seconds like it was the first time he'd ever seen it.
It's going to be amazing in arena, where everything is a midrange deck out of necessity. But I don't see the support for the archetype in constructed.

Everyone gets Cho!
Watching Krip play PoE, and watching some Diablo streams, I swear did those games just become you being a god at max level and one to 2 shoting even super elite mobs or something? I don't find that fun at all.
BTW Krip got in an is doing brawl.
Yah that's what those games are about. Though at super high level content you can't one shot everything but those generally aren't that much fun either unless you care for Leaderboards.
I remeber launch Diablo 3 and how fucking hard some combinations were even at max level, that must have changed with that expansion.

Late to the party, but as things stand right now I doubt either of the new cards revealed today will see much play. I'd wager that the "Cast a random 5 or less spell" has better odds than Faceless Summoner even. In Constructed obviously.
The fact that Faceless Summoner is a common is an affront to the gods of Arena.

Launch Diablo 3 isn't comparable in any way to current D3 anymore, it's an entirely different game in almost every way.

some arena monster hating those new mage cards
Yeah, people have told me, but when watching those streams I see no fun from one shooting all mobs, I had fun when things challenged me. But enough diablo, back to the real game, hs
You can still do that if you want. It's not the most efficient way to play but you can crank up the difficulty as high as you like and run that.

Piloted Sky Golem and Cairne... summoned a 4.
Brode keeps talking about supporting Arena, but my hopes refuse to go up. He can't break my heart again. He never even showed up for the first date...

I agree Fire Elemental is good because it does something immediately. The best you can hope for from Faceless Summoner is Wolfrider or Argent Horseman and even then you may not get favourable trades because a taunt is in the way.
Wow really?
these hypothetical scenario lulz
yeah because peep not playing shredder because Cho popping
I was only going to get one pack...but it was 40 dust and blizzard wins.

On average you get a 3/3 that dies to flamestrike the turn after you play it. The question I pose to you is where you fit this into a mage deck? Most mage decks are spell/combo based. If it was in a minion based class like priest I could see it being played but it's too slow for mage.
Arena dude, arena....

I already addressed arena, it's amazing. I'm arguing against those saying it's an auto-include in constructed.
Only Flamestrike that can do that, and its not even wipe the 5/5
Let say opponent really does that on curve at turn 7, I still really happy because tempo on my side that way

People aren't playing Caire or Piloted Sky Golem. At all. Both of which summon better minions, are Neutrals, and have Deathrattles which are better most of the time. What makes you sure that this card - a mage only card at that - will see play when those two haven't been touched for the last year?
Because Shredder and Portal exist, those gone.. there's more space than you expect really.
I think I'm starting to get burned out on Priest.
I have the most wins on that class (about 140), but man, I lost today as Control Priest against Reno Hunter and some jank-ass Dragon Priest deck that Entombed my Justicar and Converted (yes, Converted) my Elise for the win.
I'm thinking about switching to Rogue (probably Raptor or Midrange Gadgeteer) or Shaman (Midrange Totems or Control Dragon).
The feeling only lasts until I run into another Control Priest on the ladder though... :/
Somebody halp me...

Cairne is a good card that is just way too slow for how the game is now. He can't even really be used in Raptor Rogue because he's so slow. Plenty of decks that I play have no 6 drop at all, and if they do, it's Reno or Thaurissan. He used to be a great counter to Priest shenanigans.. until Entomb happened. For that matter, he was usually Mind Control bait so that you could safely drop Ragnaros. Who would then take two turns to kill Cairne and Baine, but hey, it was actually on your board.

The first year of the game they gave out some game stats, but not as much anymore.

I'm still waiting for Blizzard to give out stats in general for Hearthstone. It's a shame since every other Blizzard game meticulously keeps track of everything. Not too concerned since there are things like HearthTracker, but I hope it gets added eventually.
Edit: Just hit rank 6 with Mech Shaman. I feel a little scummy, but I just feel like hitting Legend as fast as I can and then running Arena until WotOG.
lol one last game tonight vs a reno mage, in my elise priest deck, deathlord was the fucking MVP. First one pulls out antonidas and I entomb it, second one pulls out boom and I kill it, then he decides to reno and starts his whole "sorry" spam, and I just entomb his reno and end up using it to get back to 30 in the late game. The second I toss down his golden antonidas he instantly quits.
When used reno he used a secret, as if I don't already know it's going to be dupe, why would I kill your reno. He portal'd out a Bolvar so I kill him that bolvar entomb reno and now hes struggling to get it to ramp up. Let me tell you, a 2 damage and a 4 damage bolvar are not scary in the slightlest lol.

Playing my totem shaman against control warrior. Silly guy put down acolyte of pain when he had very few cards left. I hit it with 2 1 damage minions before finishing it off. Many turns later he dies to fatigue. He might have won if not for that.
EDIT: best part of totem shaman is that warriors use brawl to clear my board, and it only removes 1-2 played minions. No value for you!

I don't think they'll add stats to hearthstone because it is a social experiment to drive it's player base into madness.
i think I might just be done with this game
i'm down at rank 20 (because once you win to that level you can't drop below it) and still I'm just running into deck after deck that's just rares on rares on rares, and I'm still running almost entirely with basic cards because what I get from the packs is random so I don't really feel I have anything to build my decks around, and i can't get a pair of fucking anything to save my life, and almost nothing synergizes with anything else and FUCK CCGs man
goddammit

Just had a pretty exhilarating game against a Reno Druid, or at least that's what I assume it was since the only double they ran was Swipe. It got down to fatigue and while my Ysera was copied with a Faceless and then silenced, they made the mistake of not playing their last card (ie. what I'm sure of was Reno) which gave me lethal as fatigue would hit them on their next turn.
Reminds me of what Kibler said on a stream, that sometimes you need to play a Reno even if it doesn't maximise your value. If he'd been on the board two rounds earlier to push damage and heal for 15 I definitely would have lost.
I think it's stupid as fuck that the ladder isn't tiered in a way that you can't drop too much during one season, rank 20 players never should have to face someone who was rank 5 last season. I'm not a good player by any means but I also don't think that I should be playing new players since I also run into a lot of better players at this point in a season, making it more difficult to climb.

It's pretty bad early-to-mid season since so many decent rank players drop down to 20 when the ladder resets. Plus apparently it's common for players to grind easy wins to get golden portraits at rank 20-18.

You can probably put together a nice deck with the cards you already have. I think often new players are running into the problem where they just don't know what cards are good and what cards are bad, so posting your deck here can help as we'll give you pointers on what your deck is doing poorly.
What class(es) are you trying to play with?
