Hearthpwn

Cheers guys, pretty much what I thought about it to be honest. :-) I'm currently 5-0 with it at the moment. I've pulled off some pretty silly BS with it so far that would make even the most patient of saints throw their keyboard out the window in a rage. I'll keep you posted!

Fun fact: During the draft I had to choose between Deathwing and Reno.

Hey Guys. 

I don't mean this to sound like a #humblebrag at all, just wanted a little guidance if you have any for me.

I drafted this http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/a739pr earlier today. Ignore the choices as I've retrospectively input them.

Believe it or not, the deck could have been heavier, but I turned down Etheral Conjurer's for 2 drops etc late on in the draft.

Is the heartharena score flattering to deceive a little?! I'm currently sat on 4-0 with it at the moment. I would have thought it's lack of early game would hinder it greatly, but so far, I've been THAT mage you face with perfect answers for everything. Should I be expecting an easy 12 with it?! Thoughts would be appreciated guys!

Looks pretty competitive to me......

How did you get on? 

Paralysis by over analysis...... Just chuck out the first card you see! LOL

No seriously, some great points raised here already. I personally, before playing a card, will always say to myself "Alternatives?" look at the alternative and decide if it's better.

Playing around every card is impossible and to a greater or lesser extent out of your control. Also, it's important to realize that you can make all the best plays available to you and still lose. You may have done nothing wrong at all. Keep up the good thread guys!

And just because I can't speak highly enough of this one's performance, Hallazeal the Ascended and Elemental Destruction turns usually play out like this:

T1: Pass

T2:Totem

T3: Clear aggressive  board. 

T4: Pass 

T5: Hallazeal or second board clear if necessary.

T6: Opponent concedes, unless you're playing ice block/fireball mage, in which case you destruction your own board to heal for ~ten, or wait until next turn to heal fully with two Hallazeals. Opponent concedes. 

Against druid :

T0: Concede. You're almost certainly doomed. 

I just ran into a warlock who was playing Blood Imp+Target Dummy lololol

Congrats on piloting this beast so far. A very high quality draft and you are doing her justice!

Wild Pyromancer + Equality is the only combo I've found to counter the Shaman Evolve crap that's going on. I don't think there's one particular pairing that owns everything though. Great brawl.

P.S. I just got REKD by Bloodhoof Brave + King's Defender

Agree with ItsmeTouka, it's not nuts.

Shaman is probably right up there with Pally and Mage in autopick land.

Warrior and Warlock are next for me. I've had strange success with them post release for some reason. 

I haven't tried Druid as I don't want to see how bad they are these days.

Hunter and Priest are still terrible.

Don't know about Rogue as I don't play them, but, I know that they got some sick cards this release.

Kel isn't that great a card. Tirion is obviously amazing. However, on there own, they are WORTHLESS. Deck consistency is far more important. Having the right number of 2/3/4 drops, and since WOTOG, getting good value from your cards and valuing removal and AOE highly are also far more important then drafting a Deathwing. Record one of your drafts on Heartharena and we can help you out where you're going wrong.....

I haven't seen any Legendaries in 15(ish) runs since release! Here's hoping!....... Good luck with your run!

hello guys, in the last 90 days (35+ runs), I've been averaging 6 wins per run. Now I'm at a lost on how to improve my game to reach the legendary 7 wins per run. 

These days I use Heartharena to dictate my deck drafting. However, I often hear that the top players that use Heartharena often go against Heartharena card choices 4-6 times per run. I usually only go against Heartharena  card choices 0-3 times per run, which means that my drafting is not yet up to par. 

Could the experts here mention some fallacies of Heartharena in regards to its drafting? For example, if they undervalue/overvalue some cards, combos, types, etc.

Also, if some infinite run players share some knowledge on how they improved from 6 wins to 7+ wins, that would be great!

ADWCTA claims the program only misdrafts once or twice per run on average, and its hard to find significantly better players, albeit he is obviously biased. It may also be difficult to demonstrate who is correct on close picks: for example, cards within two points of each other are not usefully distinguished by the program.

The established tier lists (i.e. not right after a release) and mana curve have been tuned by a massive amount of metrics no individual player has access to, so I find that hard to disagree with those. How exactly to score card synergies I am a little more suspicious of.
