The ever-increasing dust costs are just compounded by how piss-poor the game's F2P options are. And the battle pass makes it worse in some ways instead of being a complete improvement. The fact that you can earn more Hearthstone packs by making gold in World of Warcraft for a few hours and converting that into Blizzard Balance instead of grinding XP in Hearthstone is a little ridiculous.
The fact that you get XP based on how many minutes of a match took place incentivizes people to rope to get more XP. Some of the quests are locked behinds modes you might not play / cards you might not have (like play 10 Old Gods) and are necessary for progression. Even with this new gold addition, you're still getting much less gold than you did with the previous system, despite needing to put in more time. Not to mention much of the gold that makes for this reduction is at the end of the pass, meaning if you don't clear your way to it, you're at a much greater loss. We still have no actual details on what these seasonal XP boosts will be like. This is all just from the top of my head too.
And all of this doesn't even take into account the greater discussion that Hearthstone, as a game is simply way too expensive. Set aside the battle pass, you still can spend 80 bucks every 3 months on a pre-purchase bundle and still feel like you're not even close to completing a set. That just feels wrong.
This essentially changes nothing. They didn't address any of the major issues that people had with the system, just that they now have a "wealth of feedback". Will this feedback be utilized in any meaningful way or will the community just get a golden star while Blizzard sweeps this under the rug hoping that this band-aid fix is enough.
Happy to report I got to Diamond 10 with this with an 88% winrate (7-1). Was stuck around mid-Plat for a long while on launch day and this helped me pass that bump. Will see how it fares higher into Diamond, thanks.
I really like Holy Wrath OTK but I think that if it sticks to the meta, then Hakkar, the Soulflayer will relegate it to tier 4. Prince Liam seems a nice counter, but what do you think?
Your argument is quite weak. You're saying that in the future, Blizzard might change their policy, and for that reason, you should be allowed to break rules? That's literally not how the world works my friend. With your argument, I could just not post any art on the cards at all, and then say that in the future Blizzard might change their policy to remove art from cards altogether. Not very sensible is it?
Personally speaking, I dislike cards with real-life art. Even if the effect is good, the art is often something that conveys the lore of the card, and while that is obviously something that should come 2nd to the actual effect, it does have value in my eyes. Also simply adding realistic art doesn't make your work 'different' or 'innovative' by any means.
Yes I would rather a deck which is good on the ladder
I have Pretty much all dragon legendaries if that helps
Renolock is better for ladder then ANY dragon deck out there if im right. Probably i am xD
Edit: if you will play renolock just concede when you see mill rogue..
NOOOO! Incorrect. Assuming you mean Kingsbane mill rogue, do not concede. Renolock should not lose that match unless a couple of specific cards get milled.
Ok, let me look up the list. I'm sorry but I don't actually know the process of making a deck in this site. Don't use exactly the list I link; I'll list the changes after.
Take out Demonwrath, Shadow Bolt, and Giggling Inventor
Put in Skulking Geist, Gluttonous Ooze (or acidic if you don't have), and . . .
well, I've been sitting here for a few mins and I can't remember what I put in for Shadow Bolt. There was something I put in recently for Shadow Bolt and I can't remember. So either leave the Bolt or toss in an Ysera for fun. I'll post whatever the last card is when I get home.
I'm sitting at #131 legend right now with exactly this deck. If you're willing to fight it out with Jade Druid, you can take back the Demonwrath and leave that out, but I wouldn't recommend it.
On the subject of Kingsbane . . .
You only lose to Kingsbane in one of 3 cases:
1. He gets a 8 power weapon early and is able to just burn you down too quick.
2. You lose Gnomeferatu or Ooze to a mill.
3. You are impatient and play ooze or Gnomeferatu early.
Just stay alive and ideally get ooze, brann, and feratu in hand. Hold Reno and healbot as long as possible.
Let him draw out, kill the weapon, mill the weapon, profit.
You need Brann to make sure you hit the right weapon, since often there will be one Kingsbane with all the buffs and one without.
I don't know any decks that heavily feature dragons that are working very well right now, but at least you get to use Emperor, Reno, and Brann in this one.
Thanks for the tips man. Been struggling with that match up, but this will help.
