Hearthpwn

I can't even make a Zoo deck. Not that I'd want to in general, I perfer to be more creative, but decided to try one out on the second boss of Nax. What I scraped together actually worked.

http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/44220-kolentos-rank-1-legend-na-eu-hunter-deck That's the only high rated cheap deck (I see it's now out of date but still...) and I can't make that either. Got the basics, one Kodo and one Dire Wolf out of that.

The problem is that that match making is simply, competely, entirely broken. You will be matched up with legend rank players with full card sets even if you've only opend 5-10 packs. It's why I quit in the first place. Came back a bit ago thanks to some very valuable information to make it worth playing again and I wanted to play the Nax stuff.

I literally can't even make a zoo deck, a proper Rogue or Hunter deck at all or the first "F2P" deck in the "HearthPwn's F2P Naxx Boss Kills Normal/Heroic" topic. I have never been above rank 25, I have one single star total. I don't even have a different card back. Four of the classes I only have a single rare for. I have 5 epics and 2 legendaries, one of those is Norzdomu. (Well, 3 now after clearing Nax.) Don't even have an Iron Beak Owl, I'm totally screwed in about a month. Just the other day I dusted a couple of things to get a rare for a shenanigan and didn't even have the commons that combo with it. Yet I've had to play oppoents that made it to legend and people I know to have full sets of cards. It was pretty much impossible to progress unless I picked a mage but that just felt like cheating. Now it appears they're further staggering potential progress with this http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/15505-rating-requierements-for-gold and I'm still running up against that stuff with my 5% win rate. I also don't think I've played anyone that didn't have a different card back so I'm always playing people at least 5 ranks above me. Since I've run into people with the legend rank cards backs I'm playing people that are at least 20 ranks above me, maybe even the full 24. Does that sound like a good match to you? It doesn't to me!

Then if it doesn't match me with some pro player with all the cards I get someone that has no clue what they're doing. Like that Rogue that backstabbed a Shield Barer turn one against a Priest then went coin/eviserate on it the next turn. I've also won with a deck where the minions consisted of 1x Mana Wyrm, 1x Shield Barer, 2x Goldshire Footman, 2x Sorcerer's Apprentice and 2x Frostwolf Grunt. No, I don't have a Pyroblast either.

I got the same thing. Was not a friend. Haven't earned gold today at all.

I still don't have most of this stuff (mostly since I quit playing due to broken matchmaking) but I did win some with a similarly themed Priest nusiance deck when I started playing again a while ago to collect gold for the new single player stuff. So maybe it will work? Though there's been plenty of changes since first coming up with it.

Yah I don't have that stuff either. That was my point. I don't have a large ammount of cards and shouldn't be playing these people that have complete decks vs. my very much not complete decks. Regardless of if it's neutral minions or class specific things that's lacking, it's lacking.

I just quit playing because of this. It's just no fun anymore and got to a point of ridiculous. Losing stuff to rares every 2 turns. Oppoents dropping multiple legendaries every game. I can't complete my daily quests to get gold because all I'm running into now are 3 star master decks and players with a complete set of cards, while I've still got a random mash up of commons and rares for incomplete decks. Even trying ranked play as a novice I got the same thing for some inexplicable reason. Why is a novice rank having to play someone that's clearly not a novice rank? It's like that episode of South Park where the local 6-8 year old hockey team has to play the Red Wings. Would've been better off letting the timer run and hope they quit in frustration than trying to play against this stuff with pretty much nothing.

Ironically I decided I was going to go out on a win so blew the rest of my gold on packs and got a golden Archmage Antonidas. Which I then put into a Mage deck, won and uninstalled the game.

Good point on the Hellfire I replaced the Hellfire with Shadowflame. Felguard should be fine. Only one minion costs more than 3. At least he was fine before I swapped the Priestess and and Grunt for Mana Wraiths. Though I suppose the Priestess works too. It's for fun purposes first. Raid Leader also should be fine with the Imps.

Since the holiday is coming up I noticed this could be a thing. Make sure to use the 'thank you' emote after every theft. Much like my Warlock Nuisance deck I don't have most of these cards so can't tell you if it's effective or has a 90% win rate but it's made for fun anyway.

Aye, see that's the problem. If you haven't opened many packs you don't have logic and synergy to work with. I had a daily for a Warrior or Rogue and don't have a single enrage minion. All I have for Warrior is 2 Slams and a Commanding Shout. There's no synergy available. I could get a Gurabashi Beserker but that's it. Rogue is even worse. No combo cards, no synergy. Trying to get by on spellpower. My only suggestion is to get creative or get ridiculous and try to have fun trying things out instead of focusing on winning.

Another thing is that unranked is no better than ranked. I'm constantly running into complete decks with rares, epics, legendaries...having everything they need card and synergy wise while I've scrapped together a basic deck that has 2 commons in it and haven't played a single ranked game. The match making is just straight up broken.

That's what I think Stealth should do, and we should have Elusive minions that can't be targeted.

 

Farie Dragon.

I don't have most of these cards and it's made with fun in mind but if someone has the stuff to test it out to see if it'll actually work/be effective that'd be great.

I wasn't sure to use Young Priestess or Frostwolf Grunt so there's one of each.

"all the youtubers and streamers get all the cards for free from their fanboys"

^dude, this is a CCG, not a TCG. The only way to get cards is to earn them yourself. What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm quite sure he's refering to people watching a monetized youtube video without adblock on. When people watch the ads before a video the uploader makes money or during a video in the case of streamers. Also people just straight up donate money to them. Therefore the streamers/youtubers that have had the game for months have already made enough money off their videos to buy enough packs/have done enough arena runs to get every card, essentially getting them for free, not literally.

If you had been offered a Consecration you could've dealt with those 4 Blood Imps. Alternatively he could've gotten no Blood Imps at all. So yes, it's a thing.

It'd be great to have one for the Shaman, Warrior, Warlock, Druid and Rogue. It's getting quite frustrating trying to win with classes I don't have any cards for while trying to complete the daily quests. I'm good on Mage, Hunter and Paladin, haven't tried a Priest outside of the arena. By free I mean not even a common. I checked the sections for those but didn't see any. I assumed after enough losses it'd pair with someone that had a basic deck that didn't know what they were doing but no. I've only opened 3 packs so have pretty much nothing to work with.

8. Being an early pick I was expecting spells. Couldn't predict I'd barely get any at card 8 right?

10. Again, early. Thought I'd have more taunt and spells. One of the two at here and 30 won me the only game I won. By the time the second one game at 30 I was trying to make up for the complete lack of aoe.

17. I did consider it but Frostbolt.

20. Demolisher was supposed to be the board control but yes, lack of taunt has made it worthless.

30. Not secrets so didn't think it'd be a good pick.

I know Flamestrike is a must, that's why I mentioned it was bad I didn't get any or the Arcane Explosion. Couldn't do a thing against a Paladin. The individual removal isn't good against a bunch of small creatures and I had nothing to play on the field either. Like I said no early taunt or anything like that either.

Doesn't seem better than average from what I've watched but ok.

Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can do better next time and record that one too.

Next and last game was against a Priest. Shadow Worded my Berserker and again was done in due to no aoe removal. Didn't have much in the way of creatures to compete either. Got 2 rares out of the pack at least, Injured Blademaster and a gold Master of Disguise. Hope this next one goes better...

I took Ice Lance to go with Frost Bolt for big creature removal. Murloc to have something early. Also the reason I took the Ooze over the Cult Master, like you said, no 2 drops. I didn't take the Pyromancer because it'd kill my stuff too and not live very long. Suppose I should've taken the Farseer to go with the Berserker now that I think of it. Lost horribly to a deck with actual good rares and a legendary. Managed to win against a Rogue that didn't seem to have any idea what they were doing. Though they were up 27-9 at one point.
