I was playing Paladin for a quest at the time, actually. :v

oh that's weird then lol

Yeah I don't know. maybe he was just getting bad draws cause he wasn't putting much effort into killing my guys. Not even the shitty 1/1 guys from the hero power.
red chamber dream
heh yeah i've definitely had games like that

got my second legendary just now: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Millhouse_Manastorm

not a bad card at all, but it really depends on the class you're playing against. not sure i'd ever use it, at least not in my shaman deck.
Man I've been playing this game way more than it deserves. I have pretty viable Druid and Shaman decks, I also have a Zoo warlock just because it's so cheap to make, and disgustingly effective at the same time.

But the deck I like the most right now is a Warrior pirate rush deck. It sort of needs a good draw, and has no real draw power to fix that when things don't go your way, but damn it's hilarious when it works. Arcanite Reaper(5/5 weapon) already equipped, then play Warsong commander (anything with less attack than 2 gets charge) and Bloodsail Raider(2/3 gets +attack equal to your weapon's). The Raider gets charge before it gets the power boost, say hello to 7/3 charge to the face for 2 mana.

I mostly play arena though, I really only play normal games to get gold for Arena :P. It's hard as balls though, you have to understand card value and synergy on the fly. And then you eventually get destroyed anyway to someone who drafted like 4 legendaries haha. But at least everyone is on equal grounds right away, I don't have to play for months (or pay) to get the cards for a reasonable deck before I start playing.

Haha yeah I've been holding on to that free arena run because I know I'll get boatraced and learn nothing. Want to have a much better understanding of the game as a whole before I even try that. Maybe I'll jump in sooner than I plan to cause I'm getting pretty tired of my "Win one, lose one" ranked play performance. At least it would be different! (Rank 20 forever)

sure, but you have to play a lot with a reasonable deck to earn the gold to even play arena.

i just don't get arena. it seems like the funnest mode, but i'll never play it again because it's not economical to spend my gold there when all i really want are new cards. if it cost 50g i'd be all over it. but 1.5x the cost of a pack is ridiculous.

blizzard loves making their games intentionally less fun though, so w/e.

I figure if I'm not playing WoW I'll let myself spend 15$/m on it since that's about how much I'd spend on their other games anyway

starting to develop my priest and mage decks because i've had daily challenges for them a few times recently. they're fun, mage kind of takes forever, but that's ok. and priest is so fun to troll mind control with. ;)

Guys guys guys! I made it to rank 19!!! Two win streak gogogo!
Arena really is easily the most economical way to use your gold if you're sort of competent at it (though as stated, it IS hard). 2-3 wins will already get you the 50 gold difference back, 7+ wins and you get at least 150 gold back on top of the free pack, and so is self-sustainable.

Though I really just think arena is a more fun play mode. I only play constructed to complete daily challenges, which take 2-4 completed to earn an arena run. And I'm fine getting a run or two a week, honestly.

arena IS more fun. that's why it's irritating that you have to pay to play it. i dunno, hearthstone might not hold my interest long-term if it doesn't give you more shit to DO. i haven't tried ranked mode yet though, so maybe that will be fun. i do want to get the card back for may.

i just don't like having to "earn" the right to play a particular mode in the game, over and over again. i want to be able to sit down and play hearthstone whenever i want. turns me off so hard.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Getting to rank 20 for the card back is super easy. My first few ranked games were easier than may the Casual games I was pulling. There are some good players down at the bottom but also plenty of people who have no clue what they're doing.

oh word, i'll start tonight then

hahahaha

i was level 21 and just played a level 20 mage with a deck containing a ton of legendaries - he had some crazy strong minions by the end, but i'm not a dummy so i save my removal cards. bitch went down pretty easily to all my minions on the field.

and aw, now i wish i had done ranked mode in april so i could get the first card back. now i'll always have all but the first one, lol ;(

yeah, I  missed the first season card-backing by like... two days. only because I had no idea it was ending so soon.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
They should probably guarantee you a good set of cards for your first Arena run because if you don't have many good options and every opponent is throwing out actually useful cards you wished you'd had a chance at it's the least fun thing ever.
red chamber dream
they should just give both players an equal number of each card rarity >_>

oh my god oh my god i got a golden mana tide totem :DD

that's like one of my favorite shaman cards <3
red chamber dream

One shall stand, one shall ball.
lol 60 gold quest to win five games wit ha druid or rogue. I can't win with either one!
red chamber dream
yeah they're tough to win with, you pretty much need good class cards
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Going second with a mage is so great. Dude throws out a bunch of minions turn 6 to get as much damage in as possible before the turn 7 flame strike then: Coin -> Flamestrike -> smug face.
