My thing is til I was about 18-19ish all i wanted to do was play card games, I would stay up til 4-5 in the morning at a card store(knew the owner) playing card games. You couldn't stop me from playing testing or just playing for fun. These days now that im 29 this is far from the case, I cant even say that it's because I "moved on", because well.... I still play card games. But this whole wave of "digital ccgs" has literally been some of the worst ccg experiences i've ever encountered. So many "wtf how did this get out of playtesting" moments or moments where there was very little interaction that has me scratching my head wondering why I play the game. I literally dont play the game just to play it or just to have fun anymore, and its not because "I dont have time", I am a disabled vet that doesn't have to work, I literally have all the free time in the world, and I dont have the same motive to play digital card games like I used to play card games in the 90s and early 2000s.

Maybe i've just "outgrown" card games or maybe, digital card games have warped card games into something they never were. Seems to be less creative thinking and moments to "outplay" opponents and more just playing pushed cards and forcing your opponent to have the correct answer ASAP or lose.

why are people so against reno being a classic card? i for 1 am going to be sad to see reno gone, how else are you gonna beat face decks if you want to play a "reno" deck? 

what do i think? you play this game too fucking much.

its possible most likely, but why waste all that time and effort when you know you can release almost anything and still make bank from millions of players?

basically there is no incentive for blizzard to put in more hours and effort.

Play Renolock man. Pirate Warrior decks are easy to beat if you play wisely.

People complain about anything and everything and will never be happy regardless of what Blizzard does with the game. Sometimes I wonder if the game would be better off without them, I know for sure that this forum would be. Instead of being a place where people talk about the game 90% of the posts here are bitching about something or other.

"We want Priest to be viable" - get viable Priest cards but now complaining about Pirates and how Jade Druid hard counters slow control decks. So what did you want? Did you want Priest to be the only viable class? 

"We want a tournament feature" - get heroic brawl. Not happy, even though it was a great thing for the more serious players and a tournament. Kill the dev team because I missed my free pack because they didn't have a normal brawl that week! Bli$$ just wants more money!!

"The game in unbalanced" - get new cards which gives us a ton of viable decks that ARE balanced. Not good enough. Now the game feels like rock paper scissors because some decks just hard counter others. Um, sorry but isn't that pretty much what balance is? You know, like some decks being great against a few and sucking against others?  This way we have more viable decks rather than 1 or 2 meta kings.

I've spent a lot on this game and will continue to do so. It's the only game I play and it just keeps getting better and better. So far I'm loving MSG, the new mechanics are excellent and the whole look and feel of the set is first class. Really looking forward to next year's expansion and the next rotation - I think that will be the biggest change in the game's history and we'll finally be rid of some of the generally more OP stuff from the older sets like Totem Golem, Flamewaker etc.

 

 

 

im curious as to if anybody who plays rogue jade actually plays it at around rank 5 this season? or are people all struggling at low ranks with it, because quite frankly ive built about every rogue deck i see on this forums and play a couple of things, and they're all clunky as hell. im starting to think most people who play this game are not competitive players.

Of all the decks i´ve seen in MSG Jade druid must be one of the LEAST broken things. Hell, i´ve only lost ONE game to them in 13 total games. And i´ve been playing NOTHING but midrange and control.

The deck has NO pressure the first 4-6 turns, which is absurdly slow. Pirate warrior eats them alive, hunter destroy them, zoo lock destroys them, i haven´t lost a single time to them with my reno Krul leeroy deck. And it seems like an unfavorable matchup against Dragon priest. 

So what i ask of you is, which decks that are in the current meta does it actually counter?

 

  Jade idol is the most broken mechanics in the history of HS. Why? Not because it is super strong against everyone. It might get crushed by pirate - well only the decks that tries to counter pirates or mirrors stand a chance anyway - but is is about how it works. Control decks have absolutely no chance against jade druids because whole purpose of control decks is to survive and gain the control at the later phase of the game and at the moment that only benefits jade decks.

 I also play(ed) Reno Priest and as I had mentioned my games against warriors were even, although if you do not Reno and Exc. Evil early, you just loose. You mentioned ooze, well good luck with those oozes against reno locks and other controls. This is the problem with this meta, there are no balanced games exist.

 the amount of times people on this forum is using the words "Jade Idol crushes every control deck" the last few days are numbering countless, and it bothers me.

I have made a Shadow highlander priest deck that I enjoy alot and I havent lost a single game against Jade Druid yet. And I am neither the best deck bilder or player, but you know the opponents game plan, and you know it wont happend with any consintecy before turn 20 or so. you pretty much know it all so plan ahead. One game against Jade Druid I made a 10 mana potion with Kazakus on turn 4 because I was looking for an end game solution. got a potion that made all minions sheeps then deal 6 dmg to the board. waited for him to set up and vormit his board with his last auctioneer and cleared it the turn after. didnt even get to use Jackson that game.

Jade Rogues on the other hand is a far worse matchup. doable but much harder to counter due to raw value, and the fact that opponents allways seems to steal the good class cards....

OP, dude, did you even see Jade N'Zoth Rogue yet? Turn 6 Aya Blackpaw summons a 4/4 and an 5/5. Then turn 10 N'Zoth brings back 3 minions that deatrattle into golem 8/8, 9/9 and 10/10. All the while they efficiently remove your board. It definitely looks like one of hte most powerful decks so far.

all the rogue list posted in this thread are shit. never been on a losing streak at low ranks, but if you want to experience, definitely play the list people suggest in this thread lol

Amaz' Reno Priest working pretty well, its still 40\60 or worse with druids, but overall you wreck almost everyone

reno is fun as hell, but you pretty much auto lose to druid jade golem and its fucking everywhere. there IS a way to beat them, but it relies discovering a 1 out of 100s of cards... aka coldara drake + priest legendary(+shadow form if youre priest class)

i got 31 packs, and i got the preorder plus 40 pack.

i am really oblivious to why we are getting this, i checked my collection, and i still have the legendaries i opened up, and i opened up like all the "chase" legendaries luckily(i've never been so lucky in this game lol) then with the 31 packs i opened up kun and the warrior legendary. so now i basically have all of what i consider the good class legendarys and all 3 of the gangs legendary. I AINT MAD.

i dont get what the compensation is for? did my cards get deleted or something? 

i wouldnt recommend playing priest... shit ranks play the most greediest decks ever you have to play against real players with priest lol
