Hearthpwn

My advice to you would be to not disenchant any deathknight card be it Valera.

Deathknights have alot of potential and new meta that will be shaped after old god's rotate out will hopefully be different.

It takes abt a 2 weeks to get 400 dust 1.5 if u manage to open a pack every day. Takes alot more to craft a legendary. Unless the legendary is absoultly shite don't disenchant it

Not OP, just way too slow. Won't see any competitive play.

It's just a gimmicky card that will have some nice sparktv moments. I love gimmicks :3

Edwin boi is an absolute beast and well, a staple in pretty much every rogue deck. I've both won and lost matches by his grace. When he comes out as an 8/8 or 10/10 early in game and the opponents fails to beat him down he can bombard the opponent down ruthlessly. 

Sherazin on the other hand, i feel is more of a tech card. The fact that he nvr leaves the board is good but i've never really considered him to be staple. He's good to own not craftworthy imo. He can be replaced by Valanar too which gives rogue the heal it so desperately needs. But ask me Sherazin > Valanar any day.

Conclusion: If u enjoy playing rogue Edwin is a must have. I had to craft him and I must say i'm very pleased.

Also something to keep in mind miracle/jade is generally a weak deck atm so don't go expecting a win rate above 55%

Yes I will pre-purchase this expansion. 

So in my opinion this was by far one the more pathetic attempts at creating an interactive event. 
This is however just my opinion, everyone is entitled to their own and i respect that.

However what i've seen from the streams and the matches that took place yesterday is just how terrible the whole new player experience is in hearthstone. 
Getting brutally beaten down by top tier meta decks even when you're a new player? how does this match-making even works?
The streamers frustration is quite prevalent amidst their streams, barely committing anytime to play on their new account.

I kinda felt that this was a way to show the new player experience can be fun, the whole "out of meta" decks competing against one another is a huge fail. You're still seeing that every player is just trying to make a near variant of the current or old dominant decks. The matches are all aggro and the stream which is more aggressive at the beginning wins the game.

I feel this is clear enough of an indication for team 5 to do something regarding the new player experience
Thoughts? 

Now ben brode did say that we absolutely do not think our players are dumb. However, the initial reasoning given on the murloc nerf was a clear indication that hs team believes the game needs to simplified and dumbed down for the players. The whole equality combo being apparently too complex for some people, possibly for those who can't do simple basic mathematics, i was honestly shocked when i first read the reasoning.

The reward system is absolutely disgusting in hearthstone.

I get it that if you want to be rewarded go play arena, for me i don't like arena, i don't like playing random ass decks alot of people do and some are actually good enough to consistently get a decent amount of wins and get rewards.

Albeit, other than arena there are no rewards offered, grinding isn't rewarded, basically no motivation to play.
40g quest are a freakin joke, seriously change that shit! The "win 3 games" literally forces you to not play the game that day.
1/4th the dust value. Really?

People complain this is a business not a charity case, but i feel people need to understand that customer satisfaction means something. I see alot of people complain abt this issue. I'm not asking for free stuff i'm only asking them to reward me properly.

I've spent a decent cash on this game, and frankly that's the only time i feel rewarded. I feel this issue needs to be addressed properly and brought up more often during interviews.

oh boy, its paladin quest level bad!

I'm a newcomer to the game - I never thougth before that I'll like it so never played it before. Installed the game in mid-July and I'm hooked since then. Knowing the nature of these games I knew that I have to put in some dough if I want to catch up with the playerbase so I did that. Did it, and then did some more. Now, after nearly 400$ in just 2 months, with a good collection but still missing many good/funny cards (standard only), I've decided that I'll stop spending until the next expansion. I will probably buy the pre-order and save the gold for additional packs but I'm not sure that I will ever be able to keep up with the big spenders and have a full or nearly full collection.

Hello all!

So I started playing hearthstone when WOTG came out but I got serious near un'goro. 
I had always hoped of having a decent collection of legendaries so maybe one day I go make my own gimmick decks, play only with the top tier and maybe some day just some day get the legend card back. 

Hence i was committed, committed to reach the ranks of legends so i decided from that day to buy all pre-purchase expansion bundles, alas this proved to be too little because i had too much catching up to do, i had no WOTG cards and only a few mean streets cards so i decided just this once to also buy karazhan,another 24.99 euro. Now, a bit more satisfied getting an abundance of quality cards i enjoyed a couple of months, spent my rest of days buying WOTG and getting literally the worst of legendaries.

Come KOFT, I knew I had to buy another bundle, soon after i joined hearthpwn and started netdecking only to realise i barely have any vanilla cards, half of the rares missing, barely any worthwhile epic. This was a problem because I was already committed to buying only mean streets cards this expansion. 

Now being a fresh player is very difficult, i did realize it was literally impossible to complete even a collection of rare cards this way.
I was also really scared to start my run at arena since i don't want to mess up daily pack buying ability.

So soon from spending strictly 49.99 per 4 month i decided, ill spend 49.99 per 3 month, which actually opened some space for me to buy some classic packs. 

Now im not that financially constraint, im a university student and not really having a family to support i do end up having enough to spend a couple whereever i want. Before hearthstone i've really spent any money on any game this way so i feel rather strange investing in a game this way.

Now i've reached a stage where I feel i can spend more but im not exactly willing to. I feel trying to break into wild and get atleast the commons and rares since i absolutely adore some of the crazy shenanigans currently possible in wild. That being said i do spend a handsome amount of hours per day on this game, maybe 4-5 hours now that i'm on vacations.

So my question to u is, what's the normal amount for you out there who also spend money on games, how do you manage your budget. How do u come to terms with how much u've spent and how do u plan on where and when to spend next?

P.S I do feel spending money is a bit strange since i've nvr really done this before. I used to play this mmo called pocket legends and frankly didnt spend a dime and was among the richest F2P merchants out there, the game sadly got discontinued which made me glad that i didn't spend a penny.

Thanks for taking the time out to read and reply to this.

/Title.

For me it's hunters.  I don't even care about highlander priests, or jade druids, or tempo rogues.  Hunters are forever the bane of my existence, even when they have almost no place in the meta I cannot get past them for the life of me.  As long as I've played hearthstone it's almost the exact same deck with the exact same plan.  Slam down minions on curve and go face.  Every game it's Beast master on 4 and highmane on 6 like clockwork.  The class runs zero card draw and yet always has deadly shot in hand.  Even if I tech cards in to deal with such gameplay or just run a deck good against them I still run a 20% win rate at best.  Almost every winstreak I have is ruined by a hunter.  I don't know how or why I can't beat them to save my life nor do I know how such boring monotonous decks could ever be fun to play but nothing kills my will to play like facing 3 hunters back to back and watching my stars disappear.

Predictions:
Priest wins this poll

"Interactive"

Nah m8. Everyone knows Team 10 is better. dabs on them haters

OK. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

I once played a mage mill deck, a tier 4 deck at best. Heavy control warrior post TGT used to be a Tier1 or Tier 2 mill deck

Blizzard stance is that they won't tolerate mill as a meta-dominating strategy, but they are OK with it being playable. Like combo and Exodia. But if it becomes dominating, it will be nerfed, the design team won't go "may I por favor suck your druidic penis for a few more weeks" in favor of  mill decks.

 This is something that scares me too ive have spent around 200 euros at the moment but frankly im still way behind some of my F2P buddies who started early. I feel like i have soo much catching up to do its almost impossible unless im willing to spend alot and frankly i don't really want to spend an amount that I will regret later.

If u don't mind, would you share how you generally feel spending 400 in 2 months. Do u think it was worth it? 

i threat each expansion as new game - so i buy packs for around 60 bucks.

It's unfortunate that rogue has got the shaft in the prior few releases. Miracle has gotten a couple cards here and there but they often seem to be too over costed or under-statted. Now, I've argued with a few of my friends about this in the past and just because c certain rogue cards see play does not make them "good". Shaku and Sherazin are perfect examples, Sherazin is definitely better than shaku but they already pale in comparison to Edwin and then even more so when you look at a legendary like Tirion Fordring. But the problem seems to be a lack of options. I've been a rogue main since the gvg release and i still miss the oil rogue play style. We only have miracle and unlike many other decks, since ours is so synergy oriented, you don't have enough parts to swap out in exchange for tech cards or anything like that. Fitting black knight or eater of secrets seems to bog down miracle rogue in the worst of ways. However, I don't always think this is a rogue problem as much as it is evident of the hypocrisy and general shoddiness of blizzard's concept of both balance and class identity. In my opinion, it's fine that rogue doesn't have class taunts or heals but they should have burst and they should have card draw, features that simulate a cut throat or pick pocket in a card game pretty well. But other classes, in recent memory have had no thematic weaknesses. Druid has their ramp and prior also shared a weakness to wide boards. No longer is that the case thanks to a combination of tempo ramp cards like Jade blossom, mire keeper, and innervate making them able to intercept wide boards with early spreading plague or double swipes. 

Okay, I'm a little drunk right now, so this may be a chaotic mix of some good points and some complaining, but I just think blizzard really, really needs to take a look at EVERY class and attempt to balance the basic and classic sets towards a specific class identity with a strength and weakness considered in the process. Supposedly, rogue is supposed to be the card draw class, yet that identity seems to primarily come from synergy with auctioneer (a neutral), we have Sprint and when you compare it to nourish or even worse yet to UI. It's not even close. Okay okay, yes we have prep, but you can't prints shitty cards that rely entirely on synergy with another card to be playable. It really just doesn't make any sense. It's as if the rogue spells are all nerfed because of the existence of preparation. Isn't prep supposed to be a reward for a card that is essentially "do nothing unless you have a spell to play with it". The same mentality that went into that so called "balance" was never considered when they printed the strongest 10 Mana card ever for the class that will get there faster than anyone else. Why isn't UI nerfed to compensate for the fact that it will be played on turn 5 or 6? Fuck you blizzard.  

Alright, angry drunk rogue fanboy rant over. 

Learn how to play yourself? No hard removal? Tech cards, you'll draw all of them. No good Aoe? After plague, Jade druid isn't even weak to murloc paladin. 

And why do you people always assume that someone who complains hasn't tried the damn deck. I have tried the damn deck. It is broken and needs to go.

its skill based like everything else in this game.
