Hey, just browsing some of the articles on PCGamer, and one sentence kinda caught my eye that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else yet. They say something about a new Demon Hunter Legendary that has charge and can ignore taunt minions. It's mentioned in the section on Leroy if you want to check it out.
Wow. Playing the Tavern Brawl today. I had Small Army + Dragons Paladin. In a match against Silver Hand Paladin, he was hitting me hard. I put some beefy minions on the board, buy he had whittled my health down to almost nothing with a bunch of smaller minions. He emoted "Well played" and knocked my health down to 1. I had to laugh because he had committed everything. I had no taunts and he had about five minions on board. I emoted "Oops" back at him and dropped my Nozari and took out almost all of his minions. Suddenly I've got a handful of high attack minions and full health to his one or two low attack minions and nearly empty hand. Didn't take long after that before he conceded. Never count the game over until your opponent is all the way down.
Ok... Looks like maybe a new patch is fixing the issue. Just tried launching and it downloaded a patch. Hit within the past hour sometime, but I was finally able to get on with no issues afterwards. Hope this finally does it.
Well, mine was working for a while, but stopped working again and reinstalling isn't helping. Haven't tried the Amazon App Store. May look into that later. Looks to be a long night at work with no Hearthstone for now.
Is it just me or has anyone else had trouble getting the Hearthstone client to launch on Android after the patch today? Tried multiple times but the game freezes at the title screen or immediately thereafter. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no change. Hoping it's not just me because I'm about out of troubleshooting ideas.
Just about all control decks get hate from aggro players. Just the nature of the game. Unfortunately, there's so many good ways to fill a board right now that it's hard to get anywhere with a pure control strategy. We'll have to see how things change with the next rotation.
Been having some fun playing Waxmancy. Lose almost every time against Pogos, but real decent chance against any other deck. Actually come close to beating one Pogo Rogue. Discovered Flik on turn 4, but unfortunately, opponent had lethal on the board and I was out of Mana. If only it came a turn sooner. Lol
Rogue is just broken af right now. They posses way too many answers to nearly any situation through nearly infinite discover effects, and the ability to reduce the cost of any card to zero Mana. So tired of facing Rogues who can keep their hand full while playing four or five cards a turn or more, draw through their entire deck only to shuffle thirty copies of one OP card back in, destroy almost any minion and any copies thereof anywhere they happen to be, build a full board of big minions from nothing, propagate deathrattle effects again and again and again... The only thing Rogue really lacks is class healing, and they can generally get that from any number of their ridiculous amount of discover cards. So sick of nearly half the decks I face on ladder being Rogue. I hate the class now. Wish they'd nerf it into the ground so far it'll never see the light of day again.
It would be kind of nice to have like a "Practice" mode where you could at least play against the A.I. with all the cards unlocked. That would give people a chance to try new and different mechanics to at least get a feel for how they play and if it's even reasonable to try in the meta.
Running pretty much the same deck, but substituted 2 Call to Adventure, 1 Desperate Measures, and 1 Getaway Kodo. Has worked pretty good so far. Only a few high-rolls and an Edwin Rogue have got the best of me.
To be honest, I'm not sure exactly how much money I've spent on Hearthstone, and I'm afraid of even attempting to add it up. Entirely too much to be perfectly honest. I'm at least at the point now that I can buy the pre-orders with each new expansion and just get the rest with gold/dust most of the time.
Of course, my biggest problem is I'm a compulsive collector. I have the Pokemon syndrome: I gotta catch 'em all. I dream of having a complete collection of all the cards available, and I've made huge progress toward that. I was mainly looking for power level of sets so that I could focus my collecting on one particular to build out. The bad part is I really haven't played much in Wild. Just really want the option, and like I mentioned previously, I really want a complete collection.
Hey guys, just wanted a little help on building out my Wild Collection. Just some background, I started out shortly after Boomsday launched and have worked feverishly to build as large a collection as time and money allows. Thus far, I have a full collection of Standard and most of the cards from the Kobolds, Frozen Throne, and Un'Goro expansions. I've also bought and completed all the old adventures that rewarded cards and just finished crafting all the Hall of Fame cards. I'm really wanting to fill out my collection in Wild and was wondering which expansion I should focus on next to try to maximize the number of high quality decks I can put together for Wild. Ultimately, I want to complete a full collection of both Wild and Standard, but that is a long term goal. Right now I just want to build the most powerful collection for the short term. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Scion of Ruin is still busted as hell. They should never have printed a card that has a battlecry that summons two copies of itself at any Mana cost. Literally just got stomped by a warrior who played over ten copies of this damn card by abusing Barista Lynchen, Dragon Breeder, and War Master Voone. Even managing to run him to fatigue by the skin of my teeth (with a crap load of healing) he still had another 7 copies in his hand. I just wish to God I'd been running Rogue so I could have used Flik Skyshiv against the damn thing. Absolutely freaking ridiculous that crap like this still gets by in this broken ass game.
Exactly my problem, only I tried to download the update in app real quick. Wouldn't work over Wi-Fi or Cellular. Just gave me an error about the network. Checked the Play Store just to see and they showed no updates available. Was there on my next break though, so at least I got some play time in.
No wishing for more wishes, huh? Tell that to my Hex Lord Malacrass. Wasn't sure if it would, but he returns a copy of your first wish to your hand.

Definitely getting this. Been trying to build up my collection of wild cards.

Finally got in. Hoping it was just a minor server side issue. We'll have to see how it goes.

Well, answering my own question... No. You won't get another pack for completing the replacement brawl. Oh well, sounded good in my head. Lol.
So if I completed the brawl before it got pulled, can I get another pack from the replacement? That would definitely be cool.

Thanks for another really informative lore post. Really love reading all these to learn more about the world of Azeroth.
