I have always pre-ordered since I started playing HS. But the last months, I barely did more than the 5 required card back games. I switched more and more to arena during the last Hearthstone year anyway. So spending money for a game mode I hardly enjoy or play isn't really worth it.
Overall, they have done quite a good job with the bucket system in arena, and I had a lot of really awesome and unique games.
I'm definitely excited how the new expansion will impact arena. So yeah, I'm actually kinda hyped, but in a different way.
If any fun new decks come up in constructed, I'm eager to craft and try them.
You can play this style of deck in any meta, standard or wild. It's always somehow viable to good.
Thing is, the Divine Spirit + Inner FireCombo (aka buff health and convert it into attack) has been around like forever, especially for Priest. With Wall Priest just being another variant.
Focus on one faction and play casual and ranked asap . This way, you will get the f2p goodies like daily quests much quicker. Arena doesn't count for dailies and there are way too much shenanigans going on, because there are no faction boundaries.
Maybe focus on Monsters first. They are always solid, easy to play and have survived every nerf so far.
On the other hand: I don't know. They kinda kill the whole "ramp core identity" of druid. I always liked the idea of the basic cards giving the class some kind of stable identity.
Blizzard actually managed the Rumble Run to feel like a bad Tavern Brawl:
Grab the prize and never touch it again.
It's really a shame how they just increased the rng-factor (Dungeon Run > Monster Hunt > this) by basically adding no new content. That's at least how I feel. DR was fairly balanced, MH already had some weird OP bosses. But RR is just out of control. Some matchups are instant concedes, even vs the 2nd or 3rd boss.
I really enjoy playing Dungeon Run. When a quest pops up, I gladly play some games. Witchwood...well, yeah, if I have too.
But I don't think i will ever play Rumble Run voluntarily again after grabbing the card back.
The economic model of Artifact is beyond dumb. Good luck.
U kidding me? The economic model is what collectible cards were all about when they became popular in the mid 90's. U basically can go infinite with just 20 dollars upfront.
Ive seen a lot of doubts about Artifact concerning many aspects but each time i see someone going against its economy i just FacePalm on spot.
You surely have an interesting definition of the word infinite.

When we talk about nerfs and staple cards in certain decks (Wild Growth + Nourish), we shouldn't exclude Divine Spirit.

Gwent reddit is pretty solid. Devs are also quite active there.
Check https://gwentup.com/decks for decks.

I'd recommend staying away from arena.

Dragon Roar and Omega Assembly for the value.
Supercollider, and the deal damage to all but mechs dude for board control.
If you pick only two of these, you will probably have a pretty decent run.

It's not like druid is out of ramp or something (Biology Project, Gloop, Greedy Sprite).
Wild Growth in Odd Druid? Yeah, maybe.
On the other hand: I don't know. They kinda kill the whole "ramp core identity" of druid. I always liked the idea of the basic cards giving the class some kind of stable identity.
I also don't want to imagine a 1 mana Backstab or 4 mana Animal Companion. Just feels strange.
But people will probably get used to it.

The whole thread is pretty outdated...
Someone dug deep.

I still have no faith for any kind of Treant-Druid-meta-decks.
But if one day a decent deck comes up, this card will probably be in it. Hitting one Treant already is decent value.

All of them, depending on how I like certain decks. Why would I rule out a class?
When a new deck comes up why should I care about which hero it belongs to.
I'm a bad Rogue player though. Constructed and especially arena. Haven't even reached level 60 with it yet.

Vilespine Slayer.
This card is a pure powerhouse. I think Walk the Plank is a fair successor.

Better safe your extra copies of this card.
I sense nerf value.

There is also an alternative (optimized) version in the second game.
