Hearthpwn

Me: Oh, thank god Obsidian Statue is rotating out!

Blizzard: Eat shit, scrub.

I always do better when I've smoked a joint. Mellows me out so I don't overanalyze, I just play in the moment. Sometimes it lets me win that way, but mostly it lets me loose without blowing a gasket. When I get too angry I start to play like shit out of frustration.

Demons are jerks. They smack you on the way out to the battlefield

I'm pretty annoyed atm because of the dungeon runs.

I consistently get to the last boss and then lose...not because of the boss, not because of my cards or treasures (in fact I've been one turn away from winning for a number of classes now) but because of my mulligan.

I don't know what it is, honestly, I'll play the whole run and everything will be normal but as soon as I hit the final boss I have the WORST opening hand every damn time. I'm not even exaggerating, final boss = shitty opening hand

I know there is nothing to really be done about it except to keep trying but it's just frustrating, you know, being so close and just losing to RNG. Blarg! Hearthstone! I want that cardback!

I wouldn't say it's unfair but I would say that it's unreasonable.

The difference is that Blizzard is a company and they're out to make money. The majority of their money come from "whales" (or players who regularly throw down hundreds of dollars per expansion) but they also want to encourage players to purchase packs, arena runs, hero portraits, etc. so if they were too generous then we'd have very little reason to give them any money at all. It's perfectly fair to expect a company to give us little to no freebies, but Blizzard doesn't do that. They regularly give out free packs for signing in, for random tasks (like signing up for an AmazonPrime account), for promoting their new expansions, etc. Add that to the packs you get from Arena, and gold you get from daily quests and it is entirely possible to collect *every* card without spending a dime.

That is unreasonable, however. It is unreasonable because, given all the expansions and adventures released every year, to get all the cards you need without spending any money you would need to spend *at least* 1-2 hours a day playing the game. 1-2 hours a day, every day. I read you loud and clear when you say you're a casual player because so am I. Not only do I have real world responsibilities that mean I'm lucky to get even ONE hour a day on video games but I don't always want to play Hearthstone. Sometimes I want to play Crusader Kings 2. Sometimes I want to play Stardew Valley. Sometimes I want to play card games with my wife, you know what I'm saying? I like Hearthstone, but this isn't a lifestyle choice, you know? Nobody, especially not Blizzard, can expect me to devote the amount of time I would need to make this game completely F2P. It is an unreasonable expectation.

Now, I know some snarky little cowboy is going to flippantly remark something like 'wah, wah, don't like it, don't play it' and to them I say "you're right." and they are. If I'm not going to devote every day to Hearthstone I'm not going to get all the cards and if I don't have all the card I simply cannot compete in Standard...Period. This is a truism. I, like you, struggle to get past Rank 15 because my Bog Creepers and Feral Spirits aren't going to beat their Sunkeeper Tarims and Frost Lich Jainas no matter how intelligently I play. It's just something you have to accept: You either die a newfag or play long enough to see yourself become the cancer.

I would be happy if instead of a new expansion, in december all they did was hall of fame this card.

Absolute bullshit.

Look at the positive side, if they changed it beforehand we wouldn't get that sweet dust back later

This is just a bad change. There is just no reason to play it anymore. Why not just make it 10 mana?

Healthy change for the game. Only nerf I agree with.

(Ok, for the wild sake, thanks for the Raza nerf...)

🐛In the dungeon I go deeper🐛in set reviews I was a sleeper🐛when minions die I get cheaper🐛You guessed it right🐛I'm corridor creeper🐛

In the meantime, here is a semi-competitive deck that is doing OK for me around rank 10. I wanted something more simple than what I had been messing with, so tried this out. Works OK. Super cheap. 

It's just a matter of preference, friend. RNG has & always will be, a part of Hearthstone. I really just enjoy playing the card & it has provided some of my most memorable moments in this game. I understand that it might not be your cup of tea, but priest is my favorite class & I enjoy the spells. If you don't like this card, that is perfectly understandable. However, if I may ask, what brought you to the page of a card you do not enjoy?

but feral is better cause it's a spell and because it has that overload. Because handling overload is an advantage rather than a setback since cards like tunnel trogg exist nowadays.
