Hearthstone- Heroes of Warcraft (Enter Your ID!)

Well, Priest already favours high health minions, so they can soak up a bit of the UtH nonsense and heal afterwards. Holy Smite and Shadow Word: Pain can pick off most of the combo beasts before they really get going, as can Holy Nova when they've filled up the board. Judicious use of Northshire Cleric can give you a really nice card advantage, which you ARE going to need to keep yourself safe.

Beyond that, some high health taunt is good, especially if you can use it to protect Flesheating Ghouls while the hordes of weenies bash into you. It's definitely not a sure bet, but at least you've got a fighting chance.

So I want to start playing HS more. I have all the free decks unlocked (except Shaman and Warlock because I can not win with them for whatever reason). I liked Mage and Rogue the most. Which ones should I be building with, and crafting towards?

What I mean is, does Rogue get better as you add more cards, or is it all Mage and Priest all the time?

[AGar]

T1, from what I follow, is some order of Warlock/Hunter/Druid/Warrior.
T2 is Rogue/Shaman.
T3 is Priest/Mage/Paladin.

Buuuut there's a good damn near free Mage deck that Reck linked to earlier that I've managed to hold serve with about a 55% win rate in Ranked and got up to as high as 15 (and the player who originally brewed it carried it to legendary). 11 commons (all but two of which are pretty much staples that will find homes in other decks), 4 rares and 1 epic. All told it costs 1240 dust, which is about as cheap as it gets for viable decks.

Reynad's Zoo list is fairly cheap (1480), no epics, but 10 rares but again uses some really staple cards. But it's a warlock deck so I'm not sure how much you'd want to actually run it.

Both do require you getting the class to higher levels to unlock some of the cards (Flamestrike @ 10 for mage, Soulfire @ 6 for Warlock).

None of these are actually top tier decks, funny enough

Hunters Mark is your worst nightmare though. 0 Mana to make your big bad taunt 1 health. >_>

[Uite]

You'd think so, but in practice it usually falls onto my other, bigger minions.

[bv310]

So I flipped around online. Is this Rogue list any good? http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/27229-rn ... dget-rogue

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, that Rogue list is fine... although, if you were going to invest in those neutral cards, both Zoo (Warlock) and Aggro Hunter use basically the same minions and are better decks.

The best Rogue deck around is Miracle Rogue, and that's not even that great anymore.

Let's not encourage more Hunters and Warlocks in this meta >_>

I'm going to run Druid Tokens tonight. Not streaming because I decided to grind a couple dozen games and then dick around in LoL instead of setting up streaming stuff. Wednesday! Maybe.

Will keep posted, but only 42 in this tournament. I win $5 if I win. That's five whole dollars more than I've made in the past 59 days.

[bv310]

I just don't really like the Zoo list. Hunter is definitely an option though. That said, my heart tells me to play fringe-y bad decks and see how good I can get with them, so I'm just going to build the Neutrals first and see where it leads.

[pickemgenius]

lots of peeps be runnin malygos rogue now.

dont have maly but deck looks fun as shit.

[AGar]

Ended up dropping for dinner >_>

Wednesday doe.

Also, happy cake day peg.

Dual cenarius... let's see where this goes.

[Uite]

Q: What do you do when your opponent has a Starving Buzzard out, and likely a Snake Trap and Explosive Trap as secrets, while you only have a single 2 health minion?

A: You play your Northshire Clerics, Power Word: Shield your two health minion and trigger the explosive trap with it. Then you play your Holy Nova, and now you have three minions out vs none of the opponent's, and your hand is up to nine cards. GG.

Priest may not be the best class in the game right now, but I just love doing stuff like that...

[Uite]

And then I go down turn four to a Rogue Mana Addict supercombo. Wow

Link to a straw poll about what rank you finished for the April season.

Personally hit 15. Might have hit 14 if not for getting trolled by Battle.net tonight when I was on a win streak and getting DC'd for a loss. Played 118 games, went 60-58 (.508 win percentage) in games that I actually got to play. Had quite a few situations where either the internet or the client trolled me and DC'd me before the game even started.

Spoiler: Matchup Stats

Felt like I played so many more hunters. SO MANY MORE.

[xRECKONERx]

Did you track those stats yourself?

[Katsuki]

Were there any cardbacks for previous seasons?

[AGar]

Did you track those stats yourself?

Yeah I keep a spreadsheet with overall stats and then deck by deck stats.

Moral of the threads I'm posting in lately is I love spreadsheets and numbers.

Win % should be a whole number....

[AGar]

I'm used to seeing it similar to how the major american sports leagues do win % so I stuck with that...

[Oman]

Okay, I forgive you!

HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU HUNTERS

[AGar]

Not going to fix the problem. You can still go Buzzard+Alpha+Leeroy+Hunters+Mark in one turn.

[yessiree]

UtH nerfed to 3 mana means no combo for hunters at turn 4, which can kill their card adv and tempo early on, and less likely double unleash hyena shenanigans
