Some people have huge collections and enjoy the deckbuilding and game-breaking part. Some people have small collections or limited time and may appreciate the more balanced premade nature.

Having both styles is nice for variety. :D
 
Darn, I was hoping they would start back special event daily login bonuses. I guess there's nothing else until the expansion release?
I would agree except the 2x gold is gone, and free arena is only once a week.

tbh even if just play one arena a day it p worth it, the boost is huge and field v easy now than ever before, this boost higher potential at least atm, i only did two and my rewards so far are 600 gold and 3 packs in 2 arenas (not counting the quest pack)

3 lost in jungles and vinecleaver def mvp, the problem is above 8 wins it all mage and rogue, being able to put 3 tokens down for cheap per turn with either ensures some live and is best way to not get outvalued at high win with pally

I'm currently facing an arena paladin with 2 vinecleavers in their top 9 cards. They must be your twin.

*edit* And 2 stonehill defenders in their top 11, one of which gave them Tarim to combo with all the recruits. ;(

You earn two automatically from the adventure, correct? The assumption is I must have dusted one for some reason.

Arena is rng fest, first the draft, then the rng of opponents, then the rng of the actual game. It's a meat grinder.

There's still skill involved in playing an arena game, though. If you think otherwise you're not thinking about your turns hard enough.

In fact, I think some of the hardest decisions are in arena. You know what to expect in constructed. So it's easy to know when a certain type of play can get punished. The risk/reward calculations in arena are so much harder.

IIRC there's another user who dusted one of his arcane giant too. Or is it you?

people playing HS just like to blame RNG for all the losing in their games.

I got 7 wins yesterday on the free arena run, and I can clearly say that all 3 loses have a certain amount of blame from my own decisions, either when choosing the wrong cards or when making my mulligans or when I chose to play 1 card and not the other.

BTW, I made a working kazakus deck with that arena, but oddly enough, kazakus never made much work, all the games I won were because I already made good decisions from my other minions and spells.

Congratulations, you've played yourself.

Arcane Giant Rogue is my fave deck at the moment :3

I am thinking about starting another arena run tonight. I think this is a good time because winning in arena should be easier right now with all the people that use the free ticket.

I did that and only got 3/3. Once again I wasn't offered mage either, sadly.

This is the evil of Blizzard -- they're trying to get me addicted to spend all my gold just before the expansion. :(

apparently, the legendary in the first 10 packs of the expansion only applies to money, not with gold.

I didn't even know blizzard could make a distinction between packs bought with money or gold.

I drafted a really bad priest deck and got to 7 wins (including the free one). Noobs were all over place otherwise I would have expected it to go 3 or 4 wins.

That's disappointing, oh well I guess...

This is new to me. So they screw everyone who goes free to play?

Yooooooooo.

I guess we're starting to discover the gotchas in Blizzard's generosity. :p It looked like a lot of people were carefully hoarding packs to take advantage of that, too.

It reminds me of the time I was about to buy an Overwatch skin maybe an hour before an event was scheduled to end. Then they ended it an hour early, but left the real money shop open and directed anyone with complaints to go there instead.

Where did you get this info from? I don't see anything about it on Reddit.

Where is this coming from?

Cause if so

this is the evidenced provided for what I said:


I'm still in awe... how can they fuck this up so badly???

My only issue with this is it's a customer service agent, that's not someone necessarily knowledgeable about this.

I'm just skeptical until it's proven day of release, or with an official Blizzard statement.

I mean, I'm relaying the info I saw, and it was from a CS agent who called a supervisor, I'm not sure either, but it was worth pointing, just in case, the thread was just posted on reddit

Fair enough and thanks for the info. Hopefully it gets cleared up.

On another note I'm loving the fresh blood in arena. Did 2 runs so far and went over 7 wins in both.

I don't trust any of this for a couple reasons.

1. The CS people barely know anything about these special and specific kind of deals, especially since they are not live, and their supervisors typically know even less.

2. The questions and answers aren't very clear even though the GM did specify that you had to purchase the packs in the store.

Something seems off here, but I expect it will be cleared up soon.
 
Well, Donais always said Lyra was super strong and nobody believed him until they actually got to play her.

I'm going to take his word for it this time. Hopefully it breeds a new type of Rogue and doesn't just slot into Miracle.

Decided not to wait for the expansion and I crafted VanCleef with my dust from the Rogue Quest. No guarantees there will be a legendary I want for Rogue or Mage (main 2 classes I'm interested in these days).

I'm playing a Miracle / Arcane Giant Rogue deck with no Sherizan. Having ALOT of fun so far. I think my only loss so far was to a Quest Warlock (yeah I was shocked too) who had crazy good draws.

I think it's really hard to create a whole new deck from a single legendary. You won't draw/play it most of the time. So if the Rogue card is really good, then people will just Miracle off until they draw her Death Knight card.

Yeah it doesn't sound like these Death Knight cards will be things you build an entire deck around like Reno or Kazakus or Nzoth, but rather they're just powerful stand-alone cards.
