Nox your the best. I watch your stream everytime I have enough time to spare.

Just keep up the good work

Trying ^___^

you're doing great :)

I dont know. I think being able to switch heros out with another race - but then giving them a different hero power would be smart - adds even more customization to decks

No, the 9 heros are the main/only hero for the deck

However with that said, the Warlock deck has another hero that is gained by playing a card. He replaces your hero

Yeah the card seems MASSIVLY strong for the little cost. Granted its hard to get -all- the cards in your hand at the same time, and to be able to use them on a minion that already has high health

But using them along with the +3 health cards, with the troll that gets +3 attack when hurt, with a priest deck to heal it. and give it tuant .. holy moly. Its so cheap, yet so strong.

I guess they are okay with those kind of cards, due to the number of cards needed to pull it off, while a single sheep..ect can foil it all

yeah there will def be new sets

Adding cards really wont be that hard for them, now that the ground work as done. And after so long, they will stop earning money once peoples collections start to top off, thus they will need to release some fresh items out into the game.

was it noxius stream? - was so mad. Didnt draw a single card I needed =( won the next three at least ahah

I'm a new player with no confidence against some of the vast knowledge I've seen displayed in streams, and knowledge that's only going to grow with people playing it while I can't. That means I'm not entirely looking forward to deckbuilding when I've no idea what's strong, or playing against someone when I'm not used to strategy.

I do apologise though, I was unaware that you won a guaranteed pack from arena, I thought you at least needed one win for it.

I think thats one of the reasons I find arena more fun - Everyone gets random cards. When you play normal play, YOu are fighting agasint people who took time to make  the "perfect" deck 

Not so much in the arena - its a blast of fun. If thats the key thing your worried about. I think youll enjoy it a lot. (granted  there are some things you should keep in mind when making an arena deck) but yeah - its one of the key reasons I think its a blast

Just wondering if others would like to share some of the plays they have seen - I just got done with a game, and I have to say the guy I was fighting against did a pretty smart play

---

So He had a pretty much full  board, with some high hitting creatures (he was a shaman ) and a healing totem

On my side of the board I had originally from turn one/two  two  Northshire Clerics out. Got a good few extra cards in my hand before he killed one (a little to many - Ended up having a few cards destroyed due to max hand size.

He loaded up his side, and would have easily beat me in about 2 turns, so I played my main trick early 

• Sea Giant
• Power Word: Shield x2
• Divine Spiritx2
• Fade

So had a giant 8/56 with taunt

Thought it was a sure thing, no hex's or anything like that - hehe I was wrong

He pulls out a Wild Pyromancer cast w/e spell he wanted. deals 1 damage to everything. then his healing totem heals it all up. thus poping my Northshire Cleric's effect about 7ish times, destroying every card it forced me to pick up

If I didnt have the panda that lets me return a card to my hand, would have hands down lost that game next turn due to fatigue - What a game

While that's technically free, I see it as more of a trade - cards or Arena game? As someone else pointed out, you can get a pack if you do okay during the arena. If someone has a run of bad luck, they might not be tempted to head back, instead preferring to spend the gold they've earned on the guaranteed deck. Isn't it 100g per pack, 150 per arena? If so, it already sounds like it's better value to get 3 packs than 2 arena entry.

You get a pack, gold, and arcane dust no matter what in the arena - even in a 0/3 game. You get more if you do better.

I recommend Arena > a card pack any day (but then again I find the arena a blast on top if it all. so might be biased :P)

Depends. If it was sub only, I doubt I'd continue playing for long, I can't afford the cost nor want to feel like I'd need to spend the time playing to make it worth the cost I'm spending. If the sub was a choice, then I've no objection, providing it was a fair, balanced, choice.

I would much rather pay for the game initially and receive free Arena entry tokens every day/week.

you can get in for free already. but it takes 3-4 days worth of dailies. For us that want to do it daily, we would be fine paying - but the current price is way to high

Although I don't really mind the current set up for arena and card pack purchasing I do believe that some sort of weekly quest for a free arena entry would be great. Since arena is random for everyone have a quest reward be 5g per win. Maybe have a max prize of 50g for a undefeated streak. This combined with the winnings from the arena would help people out a lot without blizz losing a lot of potential revenue. It would also serve as a way to get people who normally shy away from games with others out of their comfort zone and into a new aspect of the game. 

I don't think a subscription service would really work well. But perhaps a bulk arena purchase would. Something like buy x and get y free type deal. 

yeah basicly the same thing. anything like that would rock

Can't wait! me and my (wife by that time!) will be there 

Not sure how much hearthstone annoucments we will get though tbh (maybe a release date?) But I cant see anything else

He could have posted his own key, then made an account saying he claimed the key to look good :P

Sadly I trust people more than I should ^_~

I'd like to see 1 arena pass a day at the very least. I'll even let them keep the 1.99 price tag for an additional pass. Its such a great mode, they should encourage people to play it. 

I bought 2 packs of cards with gold before I check the price of arena, and I regretted it. I'd take an arena run over a pack of cards anyday (especially since a pack is always a consolation prize.)

same here =( 
at least I know for live not to spend gold on booster ahah

So - at this point, arena seems to be the most enjoyable part for me (minus dueling friends).

I think it would be great if there was some kind of sub for 1 arena match a day. At the current price range its $12 to $10 a week (40 gold a day from dailies allows for 1 to 2 free a week, not counting winnings from arena) roughly $40+ a month at the current cost

I would easily pay a small fee, if it lets me play arena at least once a day (even if prizes are reduced at the end) 

It's just such a fun mode to play in, and a little to pricey to keep playing if you don't get a good winning streak 

thoughts?
