Well I Foxtroting hate myself... I gimped all my other classes to get enough dust to make maybe 2/3 of this and wound up accidentally destroying the two argent squires and abusive sargents as well, so what a massive fecking waste... I don't know if I'm cut out for this game. Seems like a major grind. I barely have any cards to craft with and I'm already pretty much sick to death of the practice games. Maybe the Naxx stuff will be fun. I love how the game plays, but it's just feeling like work rather than play to get anything worth even 1/2 a gosh darn golly gee whiz. I think most of us have done this; we dust cards we don't anticipate using and regret it later. I was also bummed when I realized my mistake, I was too eager to collect cards to assemble a Priest deck. What I did was stop dusting, excluding extras. I keep everything, including the non-golden versions of cards. I'm keeping golden cards now since I want them later. I'm no longer in a hurry to play constructed competitively with the big boys. Instead, I'm spending lots of time in Arena, getting better in it, and getting value for my gold. It's paying off, my collection is growing much faster than before, and I have recovered almost all the cards I dusted. TLDR: Pick up Arena to expand card collection, and to get a switch up from Constructed.

Mebbe when I've more experience. I did arena once or twice with my gold, but lost every game. ;3 Not really worth it, just yet. heh

When I get my new laptop on Friday I'm going to build a zoo deck and a mid rangey hunter deck after that. Then I'll work on a ramp druid deck for a control deck, it's been solid and doesn't seem like it takes prodigious amounts of dust. Of course I'll revise as I get cards, maybe I won't aggressively dust stuff.

Now my GF is playing. heh Took her a bit to get going and adjust her thinking to the game. It's easy to get stuck in a mode like trying to save good cards for something big or assuming a card has to be used in a certain way and not seeing other possibilities.

I am god awful at this game. But I usually recognize my mistakes at least. I usually play games off intuition, so if I keep realising what I am doing right and wrong I'll get to a somewhat competent level. Planning to do dailies on all 3 servers so I can get good at arena, I should average an arena run a day.

I finally played a ranked game. My gawd was it close! I did quite well at first then he cleared and started a comback, then I cleared but couldn't get at his HP. heh There at the end we both had just 4 health each. I had 2 damage on the field and an elven archer and he had 7 damage on the field so of course I used my warlock hero thing and drew a card in a last ditch effort. I got lucky and pulled a minion with +1/+1 and managed to eek out a win.
Fun game once you get into it.

Well I've gotten to rank 13 nd still rising with my mage deck modelled on trump's f2p value mage. I hate control match ups lol... Hey look at this Cairne, no look at this Sylvanas, oh god there's a Ysera, all these cool cards that you don't have, fu ck you kittymulcher. Thing is I look at all these people with all these good cards and netdecks and I'm at the same rank with a barebones deck. I think mage is best on barebones, it has all the spells you want and the standard rares, defender, sunfury, argent commander, azure drake all go in the deck and you don't need much more than that, plus haunted creepers have perfect synergy with the mage hero power. I tried adding you btw Dumien.

Yup, first season I played I made it to rank 5 with trump's freemage. I haven't made a huge push this season, but I'm going to try with demonlock.

I just faced a kel thazad.... It was a back and forth priest game, and then bam fucking what up? It's on a priest with no shadow word death either because I haven't got that card yet, which means I don't have mind control either. I need to craft some thought steals so I can use other people's cards, play vicariously through their decks.

Anyone from here who doesn't have me added should add me. I need more people to show off my golden hunter to.

github.com/Epix37/Hearthstone-Deck-TrackerIf you are not using this you just haven't heard of it yet. It tracks cards played, exports and imports decks, alerts you when its your turn if the game is minimized, wow. This program is insane.

Amaz gets stomped and Reddit starts crying Hunter imbalance. Can't wait for the knee jerk reaction nerfs.

It's really depressing to lose to a hunter with stallagg and feugen, ysera, and bestial wrath. Bestial wrath lethal....

So I'm guessing that the game ranks you (for matchmaking) across the board instead of giving you a different rank per class?

That's a bit annoying. I've been doing okay with my warlock deck thanks to advice here, but then had two quests that could be accomplished via 2 wins as a rogue so I figured 80g was worth the effort to win two games with a class I don't otherwise play. How hard can it be? Well, apparently I had to play about 7 games before it managed to put me up against people I had any hope of beating... annoying.
So apparently if I don't play all the classes evenly anytime I go to a less built up class I'm going to get roflstomped for a while and might as well just join and concede 5 to 10 games right out the gate...

The hunter nerf is bullshit. I hate the class as much as anyone, but that's all it's got. The mad scientist stuff etc was the icing on the cake for the core combo. Get rid of that combo and the class is anemic. Good news though: I was building a Shaman deck on the American server because I got a doomhammer from a pack, and now that deck is useable because Hunter destroyed Shaman, and 2 other classes that were destroyed by Hunter are useable, like Handlock, and even control Warrior was having a hard game and Shaman is a decent match up for that. It doesn't sit right with me to delete a class from the game though, they need a huge help, like Priest got now in a later expansion or a fair rework with a synergistic card draw mechanism to come back. 4 mana, draw a card for every friendly beast on the field? Or maybe add more cards like tracking and flare, 1 mana cycles, and give Hunter a legendary spell, 2 mana draw 2 cards. But then you don't want to cycle cycles too much. Anyway.

Just had an amusing game with a warrior, I was priest. He played 2 south sea deckhands, the taunt pirate for free with an arconite reaper and the pirate that buffs other pirates. I ooze his 1 durability reaper, clear his board. He drops sylvanas, I kill that he gets my commander, then he drops Illidan. I was not prepared having only an auchenai in my hand, I thought it was over. I draw a circle, kill the entire board, and then next turn after some trades I thoughtsteal a fiery win axe and an upgrade. That shit goes on and I hit face. He then pulls out none other than Harrison Jones. My shit belongs in the museum. I win the game from there having established my board, but holy shit what a funny and fantastic game in casual.

First legendary guess what it was. Hint it's the worst fucking one.
Would not have minded Lore Walker cho, millhouse or Mukla. I'd keep those cards. But Nozdormu is getting dusted.
