    Looks pretty cool.  I like that there's a lot of PvE content.

    Like a few others I am interested if there is a plan for a mobile, tablet, or Switch port.  I don't often play on PC.

    I really like the aesthetics though.  Hexes make for a very interesting map with cool interactions.

    Good luck!

    Would be kinda cool for it to just be a golden version of the classic card back.  Very apropos.  I apologize if this card back already exists.  I'm a relatively new player.

    posted a message on I started playing Hearthstone 10 weeks ago, and here's what it's like to be new...

    I don't see Hearthstone as being substantively different from other TCGs CCGs where you spend the first "X" months getting your butt kicked by people more experienced and with better collections than you.  The biggest difference in my mind is that there's no "local meta."  Back when I played CCGs competitively in person, you knew certain people were going to show up with certain decks and that you would have to include certain counters to their strategies.  It made things interesting because certain decks were viable in your meta because of what everyone else was playing, but were terrible at regional or national tournaments.

    I think one thing that would be incredibly cool and add some legs for new players is a "pauper" mode where you can only use common and basic cards.  Or set tight budgets on the dust value of decks.  If there were leagues based around the budget concept, I could totally get behind that.  a 1600 dust limit would be neat because it would force tough choices: do I play this one very powerful legendary alongside nothing but basic cards or do I spread my dust among commons, rares, and one or two epics.

    More ways to play are basically always good for the life cycle of a CCG and would make the game more accessible to new players.  Admittedly there would still be a learning curve, and more experienced players would still have an advantage, but it would be really neat to see some cards get play that otherwise are never used.

    posted a message on What is fun to lose against?

    I've played TCGs, CCGs, etc. for most of my life.  I've always enjoying playing against something off-meta in any game because it's more interesting and makes you think more, win or lose.  The only time I really get annoyed is when I lose to the same deck several times in a row.  Even when Cubelock was really rampant I didn't mind losing to it, and it was really satisfying to actually beat it once in a while.  It was only if I ran into 5 or 6 Cubelocks out of 7 or 8 games.

    I haven't run into any decks since the nerf that I've truly hated playing against.  Lots of fun stuff going around right now and I feel like with the losses that I experience I'm also learning and getting better.

    One thing I do hate is when the other player is clearly not paying attention or takes the full time to play almost every turn.  It's a simple game people, you don't need that much time to kill me/be killed.  Even if I win it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when someone pulls that kind of thing.

    I'd swap out Toki for another Explosive Runes to make it cheaper and less RNG.  Other than that, very similar to a secret mage deck that I've run with pretty good success.  I also don't know about the utility of Ice Barrier.  Might be more worthwhile to run an extra polymorph or even a cinderstorm.  Loads of fun to play though.  Especially when Vex Crow fills your board with awesome stuff.

    Echo is really fun with "Sticky Fingers."  Makes for some really awesome combos that you would never see otherwise.  Amazing showcase of the new mechanic.  So far loving the new PvE.

    Playing the new Monster Hunt.  I had "Sticky Fingers" making cards that didn't start in my deck cost -1 & fighting the boss that gives all spells "echo."  So awesome I had to share.

    Here was the result:
