After posting about Discover, I played my last Arena game of a run.

Kabal Courier discovered Pyroblast for lethal when I had precisely 10 HP and they had 0 minions.

 

[Yoshichan]

OK, rank 5, fought against another shaman - his turn 1 is a argent squire.

Did they already switch the buccaneer out? lol

GLOBAL_KEYWORD_POISONOUS Poisonous
GLOBAL_KEYWORD_POISONOUS_TEXT Destroy any minion damaged by this.

The funny thing is, cobras are venomous, not poisonous. It's a common misconception.

 

[MThanded]

is the patch live. Whats good fam?

GLOBAL_KEYWORD_POISONOUS Poisonous

Can we get real poison effects. Slowing taking away health on a minion over turns.

 

[gutshot]

Remember folks, dust all of your Small-Time Buccaneers. You can always recraft them later at no dust loss.

 

[bjaelke]

Whats good fam?

Golden cards in arena. Finally the technology has arrived.

 

[QFNS]

Oh damn! Arena updates are live with this too? I did not expect that.

Is it possible to pre-order via Amazon or is it Blizzard only for now?

The pre-order is available in the client itself so Amazon Coins should be no issue. I'm guessing the update hasn't hit the android version yet though.

Yoshi aren't you EU? Patch isn't live here yet.

Does Ben Brode do VO for Hearthstone?

it hasn't yet.

Friendly Reminder to anyone thinking about the preorder: This week amazon has a coin-back promotion on HS, buying anything will give back coins, judging by the email, it doesn't seem like it is much, but it would still be a discount, you might want to buy the preorder this week

 

[Yoshichan]

trust me, it's live. I'm EU.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

trust me, it's live. I'm EU.

So am I and I'm playing right now against a shaman that turn 1'd a Spirit's Claw. On Mobile that is.

 

[Yaboosh]

5000coins currently costs $42 too.

Yeah, mobile takes a few hours to update bro. You're playing against other mobile users who haven't updated the game (yet).

There is always a delay in getting the client update on mobile because of having to wait on Apple/Google/Amazon to push the update to their servers. You'll be matched up against people who are also on the old patch, in the meantime.

Anyone want 80 Gold on EU? WonderBlue#2893

No Pirates and Shamen, please

I think I'll be taking the plunge... may be.

don't like spending so much money on this F2P game, but seems like good value.

 

[Yoshichan]

Everyone knew these two cards would change a lot, but so far (played against 5 shamans), it's actually completely meta changing. At least for reno locks.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Are people still running spirit claws?

 

[charlequin]

I don't like the ability to draw strong dragons, particularly 4 Drakonid Operatives in a deck, for Priest.

While reasonable, that's actually kind of the exact opposite of an RNG issue.

Netherspite is dumb because it lets Priest play w/o a lategame wincon in the deck.

Fair, although I run Ysera anyway and have certainly been in cases where I can't pull a good endgame dragon off even two Netherspites.

Yeah and plenty of players complained way back in vanilla it was already too much. There's a layer of randomness to any card game due to the drafting which is fine. However Blizzard decided to go overboard by adding more and more layers.

The actual long-term successful CCGs in the past (MTG, Pokemon, etc.) have made sure that there was innate variance in play via a card-based resource system. Dial down the Hearthstone RNG and you get 100% redundant curve decks, which is definitely worse than the status quo.

I'm used to just getting locked out till they push the update out.

The Amazon deal sounds good, but if I can't do it on PC I don't want to deal with the hassle of an Amazon version on an Android phone, especially when I already have a few dollars on my linked Google play balance.

You can run an android emulator and do it through that.

 

[Tacitus_]

lmao this guy had 3 flamestrikes in his deck and two firelands portals and my spellslinger gave him mind control (prepatch decks)

Still, 11-3 is nice

 

[The Last One]

I love this new patch

800 dust just like that.

 

[CelticKnight]

Anyone know how long we get the full dust value for STB and Spirit Claws?

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Full dust refunds usually last a week I believe.

 

[thepotatoman]

Crazy murloc card, especially combined with Finja, but how is the deck overall? Could be Karazhan Beast Druid or TGT Secret Paladin. Hard to say.

I don't think Finja would combo with that card. The effect would probably work as a battlecry.

i use an android emulator on osx.

just for purchases.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Arena game versus Warlock, he plays Dragons with Dragon activators. How.

The Dr Boom poster in the room LOL!

 

[homeworkfilms]

LOL. Just had a paladin in arena at 3 wins draw 2 cards off Wrathion, which was his second legendary. Just wow.

 

[BigJonsson]

Nerfs are live? RIP Pirate

 

[Sheroking]

lul at these Shamans reverting to pre-Patches aggro decks.

Doomhammers and Argent Squires are just quaint. So nice to see Doomsayers actually go off on turn 2 again.

 

[Yaboosh]

Patch is live on iOS.

 

[Yoshichan]

Okay, shaman at rank 4 playing leper gnome.

The desperation is real.

 

[Blizzard]

Okay, shaman at rank 4 playing leper gnome.

The desperation is real.

Or the variety is real because they don't have to worry about falling below rank 5!

Last season I was rank 14. This season I ALMOST made it to 15 for the good reward and rank floor, but sadly I fell back to 17. I don't think I'll make it.

Two weeks.

Card swaps like that... makes it easy to imagine that the other player is really fucking mad at Blizzard that the only deck they could make it to Rank 5 with was nerfed.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

In the meantime I'd just switch to trogg and golem again and switch the maelstrom portals for lightning bolts or something similar.

He says as if aggro Shaman didn't play all four of those cards anyway.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Was thinking midrange.

 

[Alrus]

Arena is Pyroblast city now.

 

[BigJonsson]

Time to save dust and gold for the expansion

 

[Dahbomb]

Can't wait for tonight's Kripp Arena salt fest.

"HE HAD A MILLION ANSWERS!" "TOP DECK PYROBLAST FOR THE WIN!"


This Ratsmah Hunter deck right now... Gladiator Longbow, Tinkmaster and CotW in Arena!
