Hey all - Amazon is offering their 30% bonus coins discount yet again and i thought i'd post the only solution i could find for successfully emulating android AND installing/playing Hearthstone on said emulator.
HERE IS THE ONLY CURRENT ANDROID EMULATOR SOLUTION ON A MAC THAT WORKS: sorry for the caps, but i tried like 40 different solutions and this is actually both the easiest and the only one that worked (and it's all FREE). There is a link below this post with detailed instructions.
First you will need to download the free version of Genymotion.
Then you will need to download another software bundle that installs all the google apps (especially google play which is where you download other 3rd party apps). Link below.
You will also need to download something called ROM Toolbox Pro v6.0.6.5-Onhax.apk (will explain why shortly) (this is the only one you'll need to find yourself on the interwebs. It may not be exactly kosher to post a link)
Start up a new Genymotion emulator - any of the prebuild ones that are included (that have a screen bigger than 6in) will work.
Once the emulator is running you install the ROM .apk file mentioned above. You just drag the .apk onto the screen of the emulator. This app will let you soft-reboot the emulator which is what you need to install the Google app bundle.
Next you'll install the google app bundle. (detailed instructions link below)
Then you download from Google Play the AMAZON APP STORE APP. you MUST download hearthstone from the AMAZON app, not google play.
Hearthstone app installed from Amazon app will allow you to make purchases using Amazon coins (either purchased in-app or on the amazon website)
By the way this is for if you want to emulate both an android tablet AND phone - you can get a free pack from playing hearthstone from both (must do it in that order tho)
That was a very nice tutorial. Since everyone around me has iOS devices, I had no idea where I could find Android ones to get me those sweet free packs, this was pretty awesome of you sageturk.
Damn, I wish I saw this like a month ago. I downloaded that program and was too tired to try and get the Google Play store working on the emulator lol ^_^. well done

Hope that helps! Took a bit but now i won't buy packs any other way. Plus don't forget to play a game in your android emulator for a free pack!!!

Thanks a lot! :^)
yeah no problem! Only took about a month of trial and error to figure it out ;)
Luckily for PC users there are about a thousand viable emulator solutions that don't require half as much effort.
Happy pack hunting!
