Hearthstone- Heroes of Warcraft (Enter Your ID!)

[implosion]

Just drafted 4 avenging wraths.

This shall be entertaining.

[Saki]

was almost 30-0 in an arena match
then Ice Block saved my ass with 1hp and then I wiped him
drew argus + mirror image and spammed field with taunt
dude did not expect for me to have drafted TWO counterspells, either

most satisfying win ever

[Saki]

(but I'm still 1/2)

and question: does arena give you legendaries to draft at random or does the card rarity scale up with number of arena plays?

this is my third draft and i got two epics and a couple of rares
on my first and second drafts all I got were rares

[chamber]

It's random as far as I can tell.

[xRECKONERx]

It's random, but there are always set points in the draft where you'll get a non-common (rare or higher).

[implosion]

One of the better things I've ever seen happen.

Arena. Specifically, I'm 6-2, so this is a pretty high-record bracket. Opponent plays deathlord, and with it at 2 hp, gives it ancestral spirit. First time it dies it gives me a dread infernal. Second time it gives me a sludge belcher. On the same turn that it died the second time, i sacked my voidcaller to bring out another dread infernal (it was 50/50 between that and a doomguard).

So turn 6 and I have two dread infernals, a sludge belcher, a blood imp, and a stormwind knight. Next turn I played an 8/8 frostwolf warlord, at which they conceded.

Too many OTK mages for my control warrior to be enjoying life right now.

[CultivationTheory]

I always thought Control Warrior countered most burn-related decks.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah CW should do good against those decks because armor.

[Oman]

Well I took most huge armour building cards out except for armoursmith I think, to escalate my early game speed. I need to revert that.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, that's kind of the exact reason to play Control Warrior. Though, if you have a dearth of legendaries, I find it odd you would play CW, since it almost requires a ton of legendaries to do well with.

[Oman]

I use it because I don't have a control anything else. I mostly have midranges and some burst combo decks and stuff. I like the idea of a control warrior at least.

Control Warrior is weird because it's the most expensive deck in the game right now, and it doesn't really work to just replace those legendaries with something else. Control Paladin was my first control deck and is relatively cheap (and really well positioned in the meta right now).

Even if the excessive legendaries were cut, you'd still at least need Grommash and Rag and Cairne to play Control Warrior properly.

I was playing a tempo Warrior deck a little while back that did okay, but it's more focused on early game pressure and maintaining tempo through a low curve:

Warrior Cards

1x Execute
2x Upgrade
1x Whirlwind
1x Battle Rage
1x Cleave
2x Cruel Taskmaster
2x Fiery War Axe
2x Heroic Strike
1x Warsong Commander
2x Death's Bite
2x Kor'kron Elite
1x Mortal Strike
1x Arcanite Reaper

Neutral Cards

2x Amani Berserker
1x Loot Harder
2x Acolyte of Pain
2x Harvest Golem
2x Raging Worgen
1x Azure Drake
1x Argent Commander

I thought I had a Loatheb in here but I guess not. This deck isn't really Control Warrior but it's fun as fuck to play!

I don't know what this is, but I do know you should probably be playing Ambusher.

[Saki]

Arena deck

I drafted the Sen'jin Shieldmaster / Yeti over the Ambusher

I suck, right

[xRECKONERx]

oh no, those two are obv picks over the ambusher

[CultivationTheory]

Agreed. Ambusher is situational, Taz'Dingo and especially Yeit are basically always good.

Warrior Cards
1x Execute
2x Upgrade
1x Whirlwind
1x Battle Rage
1x Cleave
2x Cruel Taskmaster
2x Fiery War Axe
2x Heroic Strike
1x Warsong Commander
2x Death's Bite
2x Kor'kron Elite
1x Mortal Strike
1x Arcanite Reaper

Neutral Cards
2x Amani Berserker
1x Loot Harder
2x Acolyte of Pain
2x Harvest Golem
2x Raging Worgen
1x Azure Drake
1x Argent Commander

Interesting, but basically isn't anything I don't already play in another deck. Higher focus on weapons maybe.

[Oman]

I think deathlord is a shitty card to have in the game.

Discuss.

[DeathNote]

Deathlord is hilarious and it depends on how risky you want to be. I personally like him but would never run him just because of the nature of decks I play.

[Oman]

Shaman reincarnated a Kel'Thuzad. Summons another Kel. They both resurrect each other if you can't kill both in one turn.


Fuck that.

[Saki]

Lol

[CultivationTheory]

With the abundance of silence effects, as well as every Shaman running Hex and every Mage running Polymorph, I honestly think Deathlord is a meh card. Your opponent will usually be able to take care of it in a way that benefits him.
The only time I've seen it go well is when my opponent buffed it up in a Divine Spirit Wombo-Combo Priest deck, and that feel short when- surprise, surprise- I silenced it.
That said, I want it in the game solely for moments like this.

Somehow, every time my opponent plays Reincarnate always results in me getting butthurt.

[CultivationTheory]

@Oman:
If you want something new in your Warrior deck, I've seen quite a few people at various ranks running the Amani Berserker/Raging Worgen combo deck. Alternatively, here's another combo Warrior deck that I've been working towards lately that can be a blast. It's fairly cheap aside from the legendaries, which are actually fairly easy to replace.
