Hearthpwn

I can relate to this mostly, I generally don't play too much arena because I'm lucky to pass 6 wins and don't feel like i come out ahead. My only advice would be to try mage/pala/rogue/druid. Arena tends to be more board advantage and tempo centered and those classes hero powers directly affect board. You can add me on NA Danthemedman #1766 if you'd like. Always looking for more in game friends.

First, Yes. Kinda. Looking at those rewards independently they are kind of lackluster. However when you consider everything that we can do and receive for free within Hearthstone it becomes apparent that it is balanced. The quest system gives gold (which you can do whatever you want with) and quite a bit of it over time. With time and effort one could keep up with expansions being free to play. Tavern Brawl is a mode that creates different scenarios outside of normal play and gives a free card pack. While the enjoyment doesn't last long Its still fun logging on getting a free pack and playing a few brawls. Arena gives quite a few rewards for good runs and most of the time you'll net a positive in gold. If you are playing to collect and advance I'd suggest you play that. Before they gave the monthly rewards, after people reached Legend there was zero incentive to rank up at all. People would either Win farm at rank 20 or pros and streamers would stay at legend. The monthly chest was a small bonus to those more casual that ranked, it wasn't meant to supplement those that did. 

To conclude if Ranked mode was the only way to play yes, it should be more rewarding. However there are other ways to make gains and its only meant to add a very small incentive to that mode of play.

I play mostly control warrior, ramp druid and combo druid,

I am ready to craft a legendary and am deciding between grommash, alex, justicar, or nexuss sarad any thoughts? 

If you want to play CW then you absolutely need Grom, so I would start there. Alex 2nd and Justicar next. Saraad is just a fun card Kitkatz played in his CW deck last season because ranks didn't count for anything and in his own words "If I was playing competitively I would sub Saraad for Harrison". There are way better cards to play instead of Saraad in CW.

Thanks I have been leaning that way but I've played CW so long without it I guess I just got used to being without it,. Thanks for the input.

It's 50% then another 50%.

 

The first could cause you to miss, and the second can cause you to attack the original target.  They work independently.

This is correct.

To my knowledge that is not the case. Their text both state 50% so it stays at 50%. If it became 100% both card txts would be incorrect.

Hunter played it against me as a druid and it didnt work.

Skycap'n if you don't play pirates. After him The Beast or Flame Leviathan. 

And don't put Cairne in the same list with all these crappy legendaries.

I'm only considering it because it's really weak compared to the other good legendaries. Your'e right though it doesn't belong. Thanks for the input.

I'm less than 400 dust away from Varian Wrynn. I enjoy keeping legendaries simply to have them in my collection but I have a few I could DE and I can't decide.

The options are:

Onyxia

The Beast

Toshley

Skycap'n Kragg (I don't play with pirates) (At All)

Hogger

Flame Leviathan

Acidmaw

Cairne Bloodhoof

And the outlier is Astral Communion

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

CHARRRRRRGE!!

Okay... so why do we need a thread about this fact...

Quote from Koncheetah jump

Chicken Dinner	Win 100 games in any mode.	300 gold
Big Winner	Win 1000 games in any mode.	300 gold

It clearly says 'in any mode', not 'in play mode'. So you can have 0 play mode wins and get both by playing against Innkeeper. So you probably got it way earlier.

I see what you're saying now. The win counter doesn't count all wins but the reward does. Gotchya. Thanks

Thanks Everyone!

I'm sitting at 103 I don't think i ever got it. I'll put a ticket in the morning.

That might answer my question. So the win counter counts friend challenges?
