They will come. Usually takes about 7 days or so.

Honest answer.

I loved MTG (paper version, not arena), but it's too expensive and time consuming.

Hearthstone is what replaces MTG for me, being much cheaper and time friendly. (because it's on a computer/phone)

MTG is a much better card game, but Hearthstone more than enough fulfills my card game needs :p

I think it will see play in many hunter decks in the future, good card.

Completely agree.

Yeah, so.. FUCK

Was playing tempo rogue against bomb warrior. 3 turns I was 2 damage short of lethal. 2 DAMAGE, firstly he hecklebots and destroys my Leeroy that way. In deck I had one eviscerate, 2 deckhands, SI:7, Raiding Party (which could draw deckhand)  and Hench-Clan Burglar (possible 2dmg spell in my deck). But nope! I draw a dread corsair, preparation, preparation. And then the stupid warrior rolls that sweet 7 armor. 3 fucking dead cards in a row, against a warrior that's just hanging there, and of course in the end emoting "NICE!" when I don't draw lethal after he rolls the armor.

Since this forum is as a plague fanboy infested, the overall category 1 responses were to be expected. The notion of critical thinking is absent, replaced by fanboy favourite: complaining. 

The OP.

 I see a lot of negativity here every day, complaining about everything possible. I know, it's a normal thing on game forums, but still I have to say this.

Rise of Shadows is such an amazing upgrade on what we had to deal with for last 8 months. Standard meta is really fresh, there's lot of different decks to play, who would've guessed that "Malygos hunter" would be played someday. Removing odd/even was the best thing they could've done. Arena seasons is a great thing for arena players like myself. I enjoy playing HS ladder again after a long time

First of all negativity is not normal. Analysis is. Confusing both is a typical trait of a fanboy. But here's the thing. What is the verdict of the quality of card design in the last 8 months according to the OP? Not that good. So now he's happy. A year from now what will be the verdict of this exp? I'm sure 8 months ago people where happy with the meta then. 

TL;DR: Fanboys don't think, they just adore, but at least the never 'complain.'

The mindlessness factor of this exp is as bad as the previous.

Excuse me, sir. Can you please stop posting with your condescending, bloated know-it-all manner? Also, labelling everyone who just enjoys the new expansion as mindless sheep is an egregiously blanket statement. You're free to act as the critical mind, but stop deeming everyone who doesn't follow your logic ("Cards are currently designed for a specific group of people which I call the fanboy: demanding, low skill, aggressive, railroaded archetypes, easy win fixes.) as unreflecting fanboys. I assume I'm not the only one holding that opinion.

OT: yea, some old archetypes such as Token Druid or Secret Paladin (not as OP as many people feared) returned and Pirate Rogue isn't really new as well. But in the end, the emergency exit of Genn/Baku was the best choice they could've made. Sometimes it's better to make a painful break than draw out the agony.

Shoot the messenger? Have you taken a peek in the mirror lately wondering how Blizzard looks at you given the low skill floored, reversed aggressive card design that your kind for now coins as 'diverse' and 'fresh'? Passion over skill. Blizzard successfully considers you a mindless pack buying idiot. 

Remember the roman elite's handling of the masses? Give them bloodsports and they'll cheer you for that. What are you? Blizzards cheerleader?

Your kind can't handle a higher skill floor, or more demanding win conditions. And indeed, your kind is the target audience to the detriment of those for which that higher skill floor and that more complex win condition is essential for their skill to thrive.

Enjoy!

 

 Do you really have to spread your negativity in every thread where people enjoy the game? You have no idea how pathetic this looks every time people see your posts but you're probably too young to understand that.

On the topic, RoS is amazing just as I thought before its release. New archetypes, new meta, rotation brought a lot of changes, so many things to experiment with, tech cards and finally arena seasons. Handling aggro decks has become much more challenging since we lost a lot of AOEs and control cards. I don't encounter token druid and bomb warrior that often to be frustrated (yet?), I even managed to get to rank 5 with control shaman today. I'm looking forward to seeing what they prepared for the upcoming solo content

 Post #39. Should suffice. Another trait of fanboys is that they tend not to read comments before they post. Explicable as fanboys respond from their gut, absent from taking a step back and analyse.

 Your arrogance is legendary

 He either has serious problems, or is a troll with amazing work ethic :p

In every expansion, there are good and bad things. And people will just continue to whine. Even if the card game is made only of wisps 1/1 , ppl will complaining who goes first.

To the topic, my favourite expansion will be Un'goro, and its card rotation to wild, definetly. Ah, nostalgy ^^

 They always find something new to whine about to make themselves feel better. Usually trying to find other reasons than themselves for losing games.

Fresh?Fun?What the heck, am i the only who faces only smorc rogue, smorc hunter and bomb warrior?Am the only one cursed by matchmaker. 95 % of my games are the 3 aforementioned decks (rank 1-3 Eu). D':

 If you really face those three all the time, you could play something that counters them. Probably ctrl warrior?

 And why you assume that i haven't already done it?It's not the winrate my problem, the repeative gameplay on the freaking 1st week is. And control warrior is a terrible recommendation btw :p

 I really don't believe that 95% thing, you're either straight up lying or only played a few games.

And I said "control warrior probably", because I'm not a master of ladder, just assumed it could be good against SMOrc decks. btw :p

 What? I weren't happy with the meta 8 months ago, I weren't happy with the meta 16 months ago, that's why I've pretty much played arena only for past 2 years. Now I think there has been a lot of good changes. And there's a lot of straight up complaining without reason (example, somebody lost two games in a row to some deck and because of that it's now OP) on many threads daily, if you check often. 

And I don't really understand your approach, this isn't any philosophical thread, it's a damn gaming forum.

 Control warrior does poorly against all of those decks apart from "tempo=aggro" rogue. It does extraordinary badly against Hunter.

 Control Warrior is good against bomb warrior if you run archivist.

hearthstone and the match making were so much fun today. wasted more than an hour and didn't play for 5 minutes. so, RoS was a total shit show today. 

 

 I don't suggest switching deck so often, just stick with one for a decent while. Also take pauses if you're tilted.

Jepetto hunter, easily! 

Quote from CatalystCrypt >>

talking to a person who plays wild and faces infinite vargoth's in big priest. if that card didn't exist, RoS would be a good expansion.

 I didn't think about Wild as I don't play it, but yeah, sound bad and I've seen many clips :/ Hope they do something about it, big priests have been a problem there for a while sound like.
