I really like MTGA, especially the draft mode, but I don't think I will play it much longer as the economy is just terrible if what you want to do is building some tier 1 decks. The vault system has the worst ratio of getting new cards for unusable copies I've ever seen in a card game (HS has a dust exchange ratio of 1:4 and it's a standard one in TCGs - MTGA has like 1:30...). Unfortunately it doesn't seem like fixing the economy is on the devs priority list, even though there are tons of people who refuse to spend their money, mostly because opening a 5th copy of a rare/mythic card is equivalent to getting nothing from a pack. 

Update on my opinion: it's bad in terms of being f2p friendly, but not as much as I thought. About the level of HS, maybe a little worse (or better? not sure yet, although of all the card games I tried, HS was always at the rock bottom). It's very refreshing and interesting, in a few days it climbed onto spot 2 on my CCG list (the top one is Gwent). I really dislike how sometimes not enough or too many lands block any kind of moves, but I guess that would be negated a bit if I were better with mulligans. I recommend trying it, surely not everyone will like it, but so far I do.

I was like 'Oh, it's out already? Time to play!'. Tutorial done, seemed nice, then I checked how unbelievably f2p unfriendly the game is and stopped caring about playing it at all. Which is a shame since I've always liked MTG. Of the bigger CCG I've played in (terms of being f2p friendly, as I don't intend to spend money on this kind of games) it's the following - Gwent>>>ESL>Hearthstone>>>>>MTG...

No - it's something very different. This card gives you an Innervate for each friendly or enemy minion that dies. You could play this, clear the board with Swipe, and play a big minion the same turn. And it costs only 1 mana.

I think this card may be very powerful, especially in control matchups. Often playing around wrong card may cost the player the game, and this card, especially during several turns, gives them a lot of information about which cards they have to play around. And when the need arises, or a very powerful card is copied, it can be played.

So... More than 90% of the decks are from 4 classes, which means it's almost impossible to have a worse class diversity...

I had to fight the Kobold King as a druid. He filled his field with boombots and I had a permanent stealth, so he kinda gave me the win. Deep Mind level AI :)

Animated cards, or whatever else fills the role of MTG foil cards, are the equivalent of skins and cosmetic items in other games and I think these are the most fair sources of profit for the company owning the game, especially in titles which are supposed to be f2p. I would never suggest Blizzard should make all cards animated, especially because they would have to balance the loss of profits in another way, which could be much less player friendly, so while some players would be happy seeing the eyes of their favorite card glow, it would overall be a huge loss for the playerbase.

I won with my zoo warlock on the first try. It's etremely important to look at his emotes and remember what beams he has in hand. Confusion? Throw in some little fodder. Death? Trade in injured minions. Etc. I think without those emotes the fight would have been very hard and, frankly, stupid and completely rng dependant.

I have been playing HS since the open beta. For a long time now I've only been doing daily quests, if playing at all. I consider the hunter DK to be the most fun card released in the history of HS and when I made a deck with him, it was the first time I had some real fun in HS since a long time. I would prefer his hero power to reduce the cost of the zombeast by 1 to be considered competitive, but still, combining any two beasts is  a really cool effect. I would never have guessed that they would not update his beast pool with new expansions, especially for such a petty reason...

I find it fitting that the best raid gets the best weapon.

Quote from BorkBot >>

I tried several strategies.. even went so far as to try a deck full of 'can't attack' minions (which got foiled by Bonemare) and a deck with Majordomo Executus, which almost succeeded one time but then he used Obliterate on it and hero powered for immediate lethal.

In the end I had to resort to playing an anyfin can happen deck and try over and over again until I lucked out. I shouldn't even have won that time but the AI used 2 obliterates on my warleaders after the first Anyfin and left my Murkeye alive on a board full of murlocs even though he had lethal if he killed that..

All in all this was a pretty disappointing boss fight to me. I like the ones where you can win by doing some clever deck building, using unusual tech cards and strategies. The paladin one especially was just a matter of brute forcing the RNG for several hours.

Don't worry, there is a solution! If you craft them first, you won't ever open them in packs!

HS doesn't need any promotions as its streams have many more viewers than all the other games in its category combined. Which is unfortunate, as it has one of the most if not the least attractive f2p/begginer reward system of all the CCG-s I've ever seen. ESL on the other hand suffers from lack of exposure and I think introducing Twitch Drops was a great move. I'm not even going to talk about how absurdly generous they are, I don't think they are going to keep them this way for long.

Don't worry, you're not alone.
