I mostly play on my phone also. There is an app for it on Android called "Arcane Tracker" which is the same as the different PC versions.

 Do you have to keep switching apps for it though? 
I don't know about Android, but switching Apps on the iPhone causes the game to need to reload.

 No switching. Once you load Arcane Tracker it will launch Hearthstone and start tracking. You can also make you deck on it so it will auto-load instead of it just tracking what you have played. It also tracks you opponents deck.

It's an advantage, not unfair. If you learn your deck, you'll know 90% of what's left in your deck. If you play Reno, it's closer to 100%.

It's certainly a big advantage in Arena where the number of each card in your deck is not restricted to 1(L) or 2 of each. 
So it would definitely help if you've loaded in lots of spells etc to know how many you have.

As mentioned, obviously it's not against any rulesas such, otherwise Blizzard would have made a fuss by now. :-)
But then, there are plenty of things we do in the game (like emote-spamming) which aren't against the rules, but still provoke conversation and discussion in terms of sportsmanship, etc. 

The pen and paper thing would be all very well if we didn't have the ridiculously short turn-tiimer. By the time you've scribbled down what yuo need, you'd have no time left to take your turn. Whereas using 3rd party apps, its all instant and done for you.
So there's no thinking required. 

It's a bit like playing an Aggro deck...

Oh, snap....! See what I did there? Hehehe! :-D

Searching would of saved you from all the ridicule you're going to receive.

Your analogy is terrible too.

I have been thinking about this recently.
I've noticed that there are plenty of 3rd party apps that track what cards you have currently played / show you your deck list etc.
There are also ones I've seen which keep track of what cards your opponent has played as well. (Which seems rather unfair on those of us that have to rely on memory)

While these are not technically, of course, cheating / hacking as such, I do wonder if they pose something of an unfair advantage to players over those who can't use them - in particular, those of us who like to play on phones and tablets who can't run these programs.

On that note, do portable users get matched up against PC users? That could answer this problem if they don't. I don't actually know if they do or not - I assumed they do.

Now, you might say that it's "no different to using a pen and paper" or something similar - but it is different, since that involves proactive effort to do whereas these apps don't make the usual human mistakes and do everything instantly without effort. I suppose it's a little like a marathon runner using a sat-nav. It doesnt make them run faster, but it can show them little short cuts that they would have had to actually do some proper research to otherwise find.

Just a thought, really.

• This is wrong in my opinion and that's the matchup where you especially don't wanna do that. Do it with MCT or before AoE. Card is useless for throwing on curve. Even in the best case scenario on curve vs aggro it's bad, and it can lose you the game for playing it like that and pretty much never help you (unless ofc you'd be dead if you don't do it, but it's a different use case then)

My current favourite play in a couple of control decks I'm using:

When the opponent has at least 3 minions out...

- Brann
- Dirty Rat
- Mind Control Tech! 

Grin like a maniac... :-)
I made a Jade Druid cry salty delicious tears today with this! Heh!

Yeah, it does seem to heavily rely on board control. 
I find its good against Pirate decks and (as you say) Jade decks, because of the taunts and removal, etc. (Not to mention the healing)

It does seem to struggle against more dedicated board control decks though. :-/

I'm having a little difficulty in summing up which might be the more powerful / useful deck at the moment between these two.
So I thought I'd get some other folks' opinion.

Essentially (without listing the full deck lists, etc), the DragoReno deck revolves aruond the usual Reno-style deck whereas the Dragon Pure utilises dragons more fully.

Obviously the Reno version also had access to Kazakus which is a bonus, and the life restore from Reno, of course. But I have been finding that the cards drawn in Dragon Pure seem a little more reliable to turn up (such as the early Wyrms and making sure I see a dragon when I need one, etc).

Has anyone tried their own comparison of these and feel one is better than the other?

I rage-quit on this game more than any other I have ever played.

And I'm, not even sorry about that... XD

It's possibly the only game I truly love to hate at times. 
Screw you RNG and your anti-skill mechanics!

Hey. I'll just add the Reincarnate Shaman is a seen occasionally at Legend. This is my version, which I later took to #12 L. The combo goes around Leeroy Jenkins instead of Al'Akir the Windlord, but I suppose the core is there.

Since wow was designed to mostly target while males it makes sense that most of the humans in hearthstone are white as well.

An area to casually test decks in a casual sort of manner, with no effect on ranks or positions, where you are only playing casually...

Hmm... it just might work! Now, what to call it... what to call it... hmmmmm....!
