Thanks for the advice man, I think i'm gonna follow that...

Is there real use for Alex outside control warrior?

Plenty of uses, Druid with Alex into FoN+SR, Warrior, and maybe even a dragon pally deck. She also pairs well with Majordomo, raising your 8 health to 15.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the 2nd Tier list just means they are more situational and class specific, not necessarily worse than tier 1.

In my opinion, of the cards you lack...

1st Tier: Rag, Ysera, Alex (in that order)

2nd Teir: Vol'jin, Sneeds, Grommash, Jaraxxus (depending on classes you play the most)

3rd Tier: all the rest

I mean only having 9 kinda forces you to keep adapting and creating new decks, helps keep the meta ever changing and evolving...

But I do agree 9 isn't enough, more would be nice.

This exact problem has been covered in numerous threads. While it is naive to say there is no way to hack/cheat, it's also very safe to say there are no known/widespread exploits that are used currently, if at all. Everything integral to the game is stored server side.

The problem you are experiencing is the multiple layers to the client server connection, for both parties, HS isn't very tolerant for even the smallest of internet hiccups, and also very poor at communicating those problems to the users.

It's usually very hard to tell when it's happening but generally when some connection error occurs it will cause a 'loss' for both players (showing a loss screen) but doesn't actually count as one. This isn't always the case, if it's truly a problem on your side (wether you know it or not), it will count as a loss. As I said earlier, the multiple layers can make identifying the actual problem difficult, your UI and such will act as if nothing is wrong, then you opponents side will do some weird stuff like hold a card over the board till the rope burns then you DC, etc...

Point is, it's not a cheat or exploit, search around and you can find the numerous Blizzard threads explaining the exact issue in detail. I hope this clears some of it up for you... BTW, every ISP has issues at some point, you just notice them at certain times more than others, and to think that your are immune from that is also naive.

EDIT: Here's one of those threads that discribes the issue well: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/15083848240

Hover over your account name in the top right, on the scroll down menu it will say "My Decks" click that for a list of all decks you've ever created.

Aside from that, if you list it as public it can sometimes take a few hours to show up, or even be on the second page depending how active the decks section is.

Also make sure your actually saving it by going through all the steps of choosing whether to post it public or private + a title. You can't really get any better answers without posting more details other than "Halp! I can't see my posted deck!" I don't see any decks under your deck section, either give it an hour or so, or be sure your following all the steps.

I am a strong believer in NOT dusting cards, as if you get in the habit of doing this... You will likely never have a solid/full collection, not to mention the 300% loss in dust isn't usually worth it.

Though golden cards are another story, purely aesthetic and DE for the full cost of another regular card of your choice. I would suggest DEing the golden Harrison for either a Dr. Boom or Sylvanas. I also HIGHLY discourage you from using the dust to make any rares/commons/epics. Use the dust to craft another legendary.

Try your hardest to not craft anything less than a legendary, as over time you will get basic cards through opening packs, and it really suchs when you craft a card only to get it a week or two later in a pack and just wasted 300% dust.  

I would only DE Wee Spellstopper, Mindgames, and Mini-Mage.

Definitely NOT Coghammer, Bouncing Blade, Force of Nature.

Anything else could go either way, I personally would not. I can see them being useful some day in new decks, but short term the rest most likely won't be used.

Piloted Shredder, definitely.

Outside of Dragon decks, I highly doubt that Hungry Dragon will be used at all. It's not good enough (compared to a vanilla Chillwind Yeti which is a 4/5 for 4) for +1/+1 stats AND giving them a 2/1 or better. Plus, if he gets removed after you play him, you essentially just gave them a minion AND lost mana.

I just can't see Hungry Dragon being good besides in a few very niche areas.

The only reason i put chromagus in there is because the turn 5 dragon consort and turn 6 chromagus turn, its a solid body for 6 mana, and doesnt die to bgh. kelthuzad feels too big.

 Kel'Thuzad wasn't a real suggestion  I was just making the point he he would be better in this deck than Chromaggus. 

Quote from Arananthi »

Kel'Thuzad is the same size as Chromaggus?

Yes both 6/8's, but Kel'Thuzads effect is instant. Any time you have 2 or minions on the board drop him and trade. Even if he gets killed before your next turn he still gave a huge amount of value. Whereas Chromaggus takes a lot of work/luck, especially since your deck has no way to draw cards the same turn hes dropped  then most likely he will be removed and a waste of mana in the end. It's like 90% of games he could win the game single handedly, but the rest of the time he isn't' going to do anything in this game.

BUT... He isn't out yet and no ones tested him really so he could be good. Just my observations / opinion that he won't fit into maybe 1-2 decks at MOST.

I have recently started a new job working at a small indie game studio as their software engineer. I really do want to finish it and am over halfway but working 50-60 hours a week leaves me little time.  I do plan on continuing to work on it, but I am barely able to put in an hour a day. I suggest not holding your breath, it will still be a while. I really want to see it done too... just I am very short on time right now right now.

I think what I will do instead is to make the most basic of programs and cut out all the polish I have been doing. Make it just basic enough to work well.

Confirmed! Although both wings were pretty easy (as far as i can remember Naxx Heroic bosses like Maexna, Grobbulus, Gluth were MUCH harder for me than any of BRM so far), the second wing seemed to be more interesting with all those dodging OTK exploding Firesworns mechanics and spend-all-mana-not-to-get-10-to-face.

I hope that next wings will bring even more fun and entertainment. Suppose Heroic Drakkisath and Rend can hold some unexpected surprises:) 

Thats a big part of all the complaints that BRM is too easy, it wasn't until Thaddius, Patchwork and Sapphiron that the encounters were actually hard. I do expect more out of the last couple wings in terms of difficulty. But all these people complaining bout it being to easy are just idiots, you want a challenge go do Heroic =)

I haven't tried him in Paladin though, but he also works great in a mech mage too, especially if you're missing Antonidas.

Hes also synergizes well in Priest because you can put in Inner Fire to combine with Power Word: Shield. It can also be used on cards like Injured Blademaster, Northshire Cleric for extra damage. So depending on who you use Inner Fire on you basically get a +2-4 attack buff and a mech from Gazlowe. (I know 90% of the time Inner Fire is crap, but it can be absolutely amazing in a deck that has minions with a higher health)

I play him sometimes, hes actually not bad at all if the deck is built done right.

I used him with great success in a Priest deck, got to rank 4 with it and had a blast. Paladins don't have too many 1 mana spells so your kinda locked into making a MechPaladin for spare parts.

I would say hes worth keeping, or atleast try it out some, he is definitely fun to play with.

Also, No... I would advise against dusting, the loss is just too huge (especially with a legendary that isn't awful). It's nice getting useful legendaries and if there becomes a new deck that uses him and is super fun / strong, you will be kicking yourself. Theres just no real reason to dust a legendary, the loss is too great and you may want it in the future.

He's not a Dr. Boom for sure, but hes also not a Lorewalker Cho >.>

I found the mechanics of the 2nd wing much more entertaining to the first wing. I enjoyed both immensely, especially Geddon and Majordomo.

Glad to hear you got it and that my deck did wonders for you. Those explosive sheep helped me so much, that extra 2 damage before/after a flamestrike to clear his 6 hp minions is awesome =). Plus, this strategy doesn't use up a lot of cards to kill him, just Feugen / Stalagg + Duplicate, every other card slot can go toward keeping the board in check.

I think when I did it, I used Counterspell instead of healbots because he doesn't do a lot of damage if he can't cast that 10 damage spell. I had the same issue, back a 4-5 months ago when I did it. My collection was missing some bigger niche cards like Pyroblast and such, I must have spent 4+ hours on Sapphiron before this idea struck me.

Congrats again on sticking with it and on the card back. Many, many people would have given up. It says alot about you, patience and persistence.
