Hearthpwn

If ya'll can't understand why a card whose graphic design is essentially BDSM joke might be of questionable appropriateness in a game marketed to young teenagers, you've got deeper issues than living in fear that "the feminists" are coming to take way your hypersexualized comic book fantasies.

I played 6 straight burn mages yesterday.  Went 4-2 so not bad but man is that a boring matchup.  

I will play on even in the turn when I know I cannot win.  I make my opponent play out her win condition.  Every once in awhile you get a disconnect or a screw up or they’re faking and don’t have it.  But in any case, I like to play out my win conditions and I appreciate when others let me do so.  So I let/make them play out theirs. I’m not climbing to legend or anything, he extra 30 seconds of my time is not a premium.

I play pretty casually - I don't actively ladder climb or play any set number of games.  I play whatever decks I feel like playing, when I feel like playing them, and I maybe play 3-5 games per day.  I usually get to around rank 13-15.  If I hit a good win streak and stick with a deck, I easily climb to 10.  I've hit 9 a few times.  If I focused and really watched the meta and stuck with "good" decks, I'm sure I could climb to at least 5.  But that's not fun, so I don't do it.

I'd personally prefer to see some of these cards just work differently (especially the Rogue quest, which behaves in a very non-intuitive fashion), but their philosophy is obviously to leave the mechanic intact whenever possible and weaken through stat changes.  Although the solution seem less creative, this makes some sense when you're managing a player base of tens of millions of people.  That said, Blizzard seems to think its average user is pretty thick-headed, given how much design space is sacrificed on the alter of "ease of use."  Maybe I'd share that opinion if I had to read their customer support logs, who knows.

Armor removal?

Instead I’d say a legendary neutral minion whose damage bypasses armor.  Or a spell that makes a minion’s attack bypass armor.  Or a legendary whose effect while on board is to double all damage done to armor by all damage sources (or just minions or whatever). 

But single card removal is too much.   Maybe something like a 0 mana spell whose effect is: Spend all of your mana.  Remove twice that amount of armor from your opponent.

I don't complain about much but I HATE this brawl.  HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.  No matter what class I play, no matter what strategy I use, my opponent pops awesome minions and I get trash.  HORRID RNG FBM.

Bear in mind that on standard, right now is the most constricted and uniform that the ladder will be all year because the card collection is the smallest.  We lost three expansions worth of cards (well, two + 1 adventure) and we only added 1.  This is the smallest the standard collection will be all year, which constricts deck design and counterdesign.  Some of the monotony you see is a natural byproduct of the release cycle.

That said, my experience int the 10-15 rank has been that there's a decent variety.  I haven't seen a Cube lock in ages.  Seeing a lot of Hagatha, even and odd paladin, some weird hunters I can't figure out, odd rogue, even Shaman, dragon priest, rush warrior, taunt druid, there's quite a bit out there to play right now.  I just only remember losing to the decks I hate, like shudderwock.

Matter of curiosity, is "autistic" the new insult for teenagers these days?  Not a fan.

Because generally most people will post here if they got something good, if not, they won't post.

why everyone is always so lucky in this game except me ]!!!! 

I would like a Khadgar promotion on Android, like the one that was on iPhone, Tyrande again. 

We should have locked this after someone posted the relevant section of the EULA as that's the nail in the coffin. Not much to discuss as seen by the comments here ;)

Several of the other decks out there rely on the pirate rush strategy to win before turn 7, but that seemed a little to rng to me, so I like having a way to win in the late game.  Glad it worked for you!

The chances of a new class are almost non-existant.  They have said repeatedly that they have not even discussed the possibility of a new class, and they do not think it is necessary or desirable to have more classes than we have right now.  I get the desire to have a new class because new and shiny things are fun, but adding another class just makes balance that much harder for the future of the game. 

I think it is far more likely that they will release death knight themed cards for other classes.  Maybe even a death knight alternate hero skin.  

Try playing no-quest decks. Elemental Shaman, Zoolock, Dragon Priest, Miracle Rogue, Tempo Mage, Egg Druid, N'Zoth Pally, etc. Not every viable deck is a quest deck.

Would love this to be permanent, but what can you do - people got to earn a living.

i don't see why this would be any good with Finja, the Flying Star. maybe i'm wrong but battlecries do not trigger when the card is not played from hand or are they?
