Hearthstone |OT9| Our raid wiped in Icecrown Citadel
- Thread starter ZealousD
- Start date
Finally found a good deck/stats/game tracker for my phone. It simply wasn't possible on the iOS version of the game but now that I'm on Android it's easy peasy. It's not as visually appealing as the PC versions as obviously screen space is at a premium so can't have fancy graphics for all the cards etc. but it does display all the same information in text form.
Stuff it does:
- Import decks
- Export decks
- Saves all games to HSreplay, so supports card tracking
- In-app game tracking of each of your decks W:L ratio broken down by class, game length, your deck, your opponent's deck (or rather what they used of it before game is over)
- The match overlay displays turns your opponent picked up his cards, cards they've played, you can change your overlay to show your whole deck or just the cards you've got in hand/used. Importantly, you can also turn the whole overlay on/off with the touch of a button.
Overall, it's pretty fantastic if you play HS on your phone a lot - which I do, in fact I hardly ever play on my PC.

rank 5 was much easier this month, only stumbled once and druid made short work of the competition.

I've yet to lose with this deck, granted I'm only rank 15 since starting playing again but currently 11-0. Blackguard is surprisingly decent, but I replaced one for a Skelemancer.
It's absurdly slow and most games go 15-20mins+ but you're just so hard to kill.

Exodia Mage putting in work. Decent chance against most of the slower decks. Took out a Pirate Warrior too, very satisfying. Needed an RNG third Ice Block to pull it off though.
Friend loving the control Warlock that's been floating around the streams. It is very satisfying to watch a bomb Defile.

Dude if they silence an 8/8
Its good
Expectation seem super crazy for the card
They expect its single handedly won game in instance
Its Hearthstone.. the way you won with a big threat is mving to another threat after that threat remòved
This is where Lk shine.. its must deal minion that they spend turn to it and its also protect you because its has taunt.. its feel good to drop on even board unlike ysera
If they remove it.. refill with another strong turn.
If my lich king somehow survive a turn I'm not happy because its give another card I'm happy because there is 8/8 dominate the board

I think the rule is it only works with the base hero power. It never worked with Jaraxxus, Dinomancy, and other similar cards
lol this makes absolutely no sense in this game
LK seems underwhelming in slow decks. I am certain most lists will drop him within a few weeks as there's so many dead cards you don't want to pull from him that just end up clogging your hand. I think he may have a place in more aggressive midrange lists though. Army of the dead, frostmourne, death coil, doom pact can be game ending if your goal is to kill the opponent ASAP.

I have now fallen from Rank 9 all the way from Rank 6. Then jumped back to 8 again. I will probably be at Rank 7 in 10 mins
But it seem impossible for me to sting a few simple wins together though, even if I am decent enough at the game to win some challenging matches. I also just stumble into a some utter bulshit like Pirate Warrior with perfect draws, and more recently Inner Fire Priest of all things... also with perfect draws.
HOW IS INNER FIRE PRIEST CONSISTENT ENOUGH TO BE AT RANK 6?

Why wouldn't it be? It's a strong deck from un'goro meta. People pilot much worse decks to much higher ranks. Geist isn't that popular enough to tank your winrate.

I think the hype for the Lich King will fade in a couple of weeks. He's a solid choice but often the card he gives you can often be a dead weight.
The only legendary which I think deserves an automatic craft is Malfurion DK bar token druid it fits in every deck for druid.
I dont think its true, cuz there's always posts like "OMG I PLAYED AGAINST 10 PRIEST IN A ROW?!?!?! WHY DOES BLIZZARD DOES THIS?!?!?! OMG!"
Also i dont think the matchmaker knows about matchups and stuff like that.. but really, only Blizzy-D knows about this stuff.
Literally any deck can reach rank 5 because of the win streak bonus.

yep. I used to make rank 5 with NZoth pally well into the OG shaman dominance, Malygos Rogue too.
Inner fire and silence priest were Legend capable decks and should remain so even now.
In fact at rank 5 I'm starting to notice a lot of people running previous meta decks such as Dragon Priest, Token Shaman(1-2 new cards), Pirate Warrior and LOTS of secret mages.
I suspect we will start seeing older decks creep back into the meta as folks stop experimenting with new decks and go back to some old faithfuls to see how they fare in the new Druid/Priest meta we have now.
interesting I opened up that card in my packs along with Shaman & Warrior DKs

I guess I should have stated the Inner Fired Twilight Drake, not the usual Silence / Inner Fire stuff
I guess I am just annoyed that I am now running into new and different walls when I climb, all of which feel almost too lucky with their draws.
I guess I just need to get better, but after 60 games floating around the same three ranks I was getting annoyed.
Except mine

I lost to a Hunter today that went stitched tracker into finja into double warleader pulling the other finja in their deck and a bluegill.
Removal is a major weakness of Kolento's taunt druid.
Is there any situation where Army of the Dead is good aside from maybe minion heavy Zoo-like decks?
I hate when I get it, it seems fucking awful.
Yes, that spell is good for tempo plays in decks with death rattles.
Won me two games when i played dead man hand nzoth warrior.
Edit: and a game with ez priest.
The Last One
Member
Man, Druids ruined this game completely lol
Big Ramp Druid
Tempo Midrange Warrior
Token Druid (though 8 drop is too high)
Midrange Hunter
Taunt Quest Warrior (you want to use this after you finish quest)
Midrange decks are the best for it.
really had the urge to spend my dust, cannot play new stuff is kinda boring
but I want wait the meta settle
so far I has invest to
- Lich King
- 2 Ultimate Infestation
- some Taunt druid supplement
that its, pretty much the safe thing
Thing that fancy me to craft in intermediate future -
DK Guldan
Raza and Anduin
2 Corpsetaker
Deathseer Thrall
I still want to wait if Warlock is really decent enough to play for these 4 month before craft Guldan, hell even if its just borderline tier 3 maybe its good enough for me
Same thing for Raza and Anduin, I want to wait altho for this one I kinda afraid they would nerf Raza and my investation to Anduin got hit
Murloc Pally starting to play Corpsetaker but I kinda doubt its stick because does the lifesteal matter that much for murloc pally? does there is really no midrange minion that fit better?

my dust plans for the near future:
one more Obsidian Statue
one more Corpsetaker
then after that just saving to round out legendaries, that will take a long time so the meta will settle by then.
arfus seems like a good call for midrange hunter, because a high roll on Army of the Dead would be huge.

only crafted Golden Malf an 2 UIs so far.
I'm itching for Exodia Mage but I'll wait that one out.
if they nerf Raza I'd expect the HP to be free oncer per turn.

Yes because choosing that mode is mana and card inefficient and you don't get excess mana from nourish like wild growth.
Ramp has diminishing returns later in the game. They give you those two free Mana crystals to make that option more attractive, because 3 cards is usually better otherwise.
It's easily tier 2 imo.
The druid lists are fine without the DK. Quest mage can kill any popular list too.
Well you don't know if Mage can came back in hurry or not
if there is solid tempo/burn mage found, warlock can be unplayable again
Don't have Mage quest but will look into Druid options. Cheers!
How is handbuff Pally at the moment? I cobbled together a deck myself but seemed to be having huge swings in success. I'd either completely steamroll people or not get going at all.
I think Warlock has such good ways to heal now that it could still stand a chance. Especially those cheaper lists that don't rely on tapping that much. But yeah impossible to say what will happen in the coming weeks for certain.
I don't feel that bad because I know UI gonna nerfed real quick at least before world championship finals
The fastest is same as Small Time Buc time range, when its only a month after released I believe
worst scenario is if they wait until world championship which I believe still about 2-3 month away
