Thanks for the advice man, I think i'm gonna follow that...

Is there real use for Alex outside control warrior?

Plenty of uses, Druid with Alex into FoN+SR, Warrior, and maybe even a dragon pally deck. She also pairs well with Majordomo, raising your 8 health to 15.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the 2nd Tier list just means they are more situational and class specific, not necessarily worse than tier 1.

In my opinion, of the cards you lack...

1st Tier: Rag, Ysera, Alex (in that order)

2nd Teir: Vol'jin, Sneeds, Grommash, Jaraxxus (depending on classes you play the most)

3rd Tier: all the rest

Thalnos and Troggzor seem like good neutral options.

This exact problem has been covered in numerous threads. While it is naive to say there is no way to hack/cheat, it's also very safe to say there are no known/widespread exploits that are used currently, if at all. Everything integral to the game is stored server side.

The problem you are experiencing is the multiple layers to the client server connection, for both parties, HS isn't very tolerant for even the smallest of internet hiccups, and also very poor at communicating those problems to the users.

It's usually very hard to tell when it's happening but generally when some connection error occurs it will cause a 'loss' for both players (showing a loss screen) but doesn't actually count as one. This isn't always the case, if it's truly a problem on your side (wether you know it or not), it will count as a loss. As I said earlier, the multiple layers can make identifying the actual problem difficult, your UI and such will act as if nothing is wrong, then you opponents side will do some weird stuff like hold a card over the board till the rope burns then you DC, etc...

Point is, it's not a cheat or exploit, search around and you can find the numerous Blizzard threads explaining the exact issue in detail. I hope this clears some of it up for you... BTW, every ISP has issues at some point, you just notice them at certain times more than others, and to think that your are immune from that is also naive.

EDIT: Here's one of those threads that discribes the issue well: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/15083848240

Sylvanas Windrunner is the epitome of control, nothing can come close. Dr. Boom is more of a power play than a 'control' option.

But if I have to pick a different card... Loatheb, seeing as he can really mess up oil rogue and freeze mages' plays.

I am a strong believer in NOT dusting cards, as if you get in the habit of doing this... You will likely never have a solid/full collection, not to mention the 300% loss in dust isn't usually worth it.

Though golden cards are another story, purely aesthetic and DE for the full cost of another regular card of your choice. I would suggest DEing the golden Harrison for either a Dr. Boom or Sylvanas. I also HIGHLY discourage you from using the dust to make any rares/commons/epics. Use the dust to craft another legendary.

Try your hardest to not craft anything less than a legendary, as over time you will get basic cards through opening packs, and it really suchs when you craft a card only to get it a week or two later in a pack and just wasted 300% dust.  

Naxx will give you the most value for the least amount. It has many cards that are used in a very wide range of decks. 20$ in packs wouldn't guarantee you as many good cards, or as many that are high quality. Getting Naxx, not only are you getting 30 cards, you're getting full 2x sets of them.

The real question is how have you played HS for a year and don't have any cards? My guess is you keep DE'ing everything and you're stuck in the position you are now... Very few cards total, with only just enough cards to make the decks you deem 'playable' and can't try out any new decks because you already dusted the cards from other classes. That's an awful cycle you are in.

Dusting any legendary for 400 dust is NEVER worth it, unless it's a truly awful card... Which Tirion is not, especially if you are F2P.

Just because you don't play a class currently, doesn't mean you never will. There are a few classes I never thought I would enjoy, but once I tried them out (one of the being Pally) I found out they can be immensely rewarding and fun to play.

A 300% loss in dust is just not worth it if you plan to play the game long term. You will at some point want to try something new and not having the cards you need for a certain deck, when you had them at one point will take away lot of the fun when you regret your previous choice, and you will regret it at some point.

The same thing goes for any cards really, dusting is just not worth it, over time your collection will fill out and if you get rid of everything you won't be able to try new decks out.

Confirmed! Although both wings were pretty easy (as far as i can remember Naxx Heroic bosses like Maexna, Grobbulus, Gluth were MUCH harder for me than any of BRM so far), the second wing seemed to be more interesting with all those dodging OTK exploding Firesworns mechanics and spend-all-mana-not-to-get-10-to-face.

I hope that next wings will bring even more fun and entertainment. Suppose Heroic Drakkisath and Rend can hold some unexpected surprises:) 

Thats a big part of all the complaints that BRM is too easy, it wasn't until Thaddius, Patchwork and Sapphiron that the encounters were actually hard. I do expect more out of the last couple wings in terms of difficulty. But all these people complaining bout it being to easy are just idiots, you want a challenge go do Heroic =)

I play him sometimes, hes actually not bad at all if the deck is built done right.

I used him with great success in a Priest deck, got to rank 4 with it and had a blast. Paladins don't have too many 1 mana spells so your kinda locked into making a MechPaladin for spare parts.

I would say hes worth keeping, or atleast try it out some, he is definitely fun to play with.

Also, No... I would advise against dusting, the loss is just too huge (especially with a legendary that isn't awful). It's nice getting useful legendaries and if there becomes a new deck that uses him and is super fun / strong, you will be kicking yourself. Theres just no real reason to dust a legendary, the loss is too great and you may want it in the future.

He's not a Dr. Boom for sure, but hes also not a Lorewalker Cho >.>

The most sad thread I've ever seen.

You all must realize what thread this is, and the purpose of it.

This is a thread with the intended purpose of being an outlet for all of your salty moments. 
This absolutely does NOT invite others to come and make ignorant posts and belittle others out of boredom, fun, or any other reason.

People being salty are using the thread for it's intended purpose,  some more abundantly than others. Posting to harass, flame, or otherwise provoke any other user is not acceptable in this thread, or any other thread. Keep it to yourself, or at the very least pm it.

This is not "that one thread where you can say anything you want". Take your nerves elsewhere. People are inherently on edge when they post here, we don't need others escalating things.

This is to some extend an attempt in reducing the number of rage threads, to focus everything on one place the other part of the idea is, that I feel like blowing of some steam myself and this is a good excuse. ;)

To make this work following rules:

1. you can be angry but try to keep tone somewhat civil. The one or other f-bomb doesn't hurt though.

2. Be angry at everything BUT other members. This works when this is a place where you don't judge other people.

3. keep the forum rules in mind, no names and stuff.

So RNG screwed you over? You faced the fifth 100 hp warrior with you favorite deck that's weak against warrior? Undertaker is worse than cancer? Leave the rationality behind you, let the rage flow through you and when you cooled down go back to the rest of the forum or game being relaxed again.

So I'll start with getting my tinfoil had out and hate against my internet provider or the illuminati or anything because god damn! Control Paladin) vs Mage (no clue what kind, secrets, archmage, healbot, freezing but no aoe, double flamestrike). 28 god damn rounds. 28!! back and forth HP bounces up and down and of course one of the MVPs was Cairne which he got through unstable portal. Screw that... Stayed on the board for ages. But anyway, I remove everything, didn't draw in my weapons or muster the whole game but slowly I get it and than the turn, Muster, Hero Power, Quatermaster. One quatermaster in hand. He had no flamestrikes left he was dead, probably no chance of anything. I wonder why he takes so long. Connection loss. After all this brutal grinding, connection gone.

My start today was bad but I started to getting back in this flow, than this game and I was smelling, tasting victory, a huge moral boost and than my ISP, the illuminati, or some divine power thinks it's time to fuck with my internet. Heck he might even DDOS me, who knows!

PS: I'm tethering through my fucking phone to write his...

Flamestrike needs a nerf in Arena, the amount of Mages in Arena is beyond bullshit.

Quote from WNxArcthurus »

Before gvg, I was good at arena (somewhat). I usually hit 9 wins, and even got my first (and only) 12 win key.

Now if I reach 3 wins I'm surprised. 

It usually goes this way: I play as best as I can, I keep in mind what I become vunerable to before making a play, I try to get as much value as I can without being greedy, I make decent drafts, I watch Trump playing arena a lot, etc. Yet somehow, I always end up in a point where the board looks good on my side, but then the opponent goes in with a wombo combo to my face, and suddenly I can't win anymore because I don't have taunts/heal. I had a 1-3 rogue run in wich all my losses were like that.

I just don't know what happened, and it makes me want to give up on arena. But it's the most efficient way of grinding gold, and quests only take too long.

Rush meta happend on arena, it generates more salt than joy. I understand you friend.

Pinned. We'll see how this goes =)

Hello, my name is Alex and i'm alcoholic, i found a way how to fight all this annoying shit.

i'm not a legend-ranked.  i was used to be ass-blowing-rage-and-hate about all this huntards and mech mages with unstable portable legendaries and so on and so on. i even tried to play cancer fuck-it-just go-to-face hunter. but after that i realized that it's not interesting for me. so now i just continue to play control decks (control hunter, priest, shaman and pally). and it gives me a lot of satisfaction. all those mindgames and so on. and when you beat aggro-op-shit with control it's really like an orgasm. when you cannot beat it, you understand that you should try to modify the deck or analyze your mistakes and so on. just don't give up.

I would pay to see a Control Hunter vs Face Priest matchup.

Really like this deck, currently have a 69% win rate out of 29 games at rank 5-3. Replaced MC tech with Cult master though as i find  much more opportunities to use it then MC tech.

Hey all - Amazon is offering their 30% bonus coins discount yet again and i thought i'd post the only solution i could find for successfully emulating android AND installing/playing Hearthstone on said emulator.  

HERE IS THE ONLY CURRENT ANDROID EMULATOR SOLUTION ON A MAC THAT WORKS: sorry for the caps, but i tried like 40 different solutions and this is actually both the easiest and the only one that worked (and it's all FREE). There is a link below this post with detailed instructions.

First you will need to download the free version of Genymotion.

Then you will need to download another software bundle that installs all the google apps (especially google play which is where you download other 3rd party apps). Link below.

You will also need to download something called ROM Toolbox Pro v6.0.6.5-Onhax.apk (will explain why shortly) (this is the only one you'll need to find yourself on the interwebs.  It may not be exactly kosher to post a link)

Start up a new Genymotion emulator - any of the prebuild ones that are included (that have a screen bigger than 6in) will work.

Once the emulator is running you install the ROM .apk file mentioned above. You just drag the .apk onto the screen of the emulator. This app will let you soft-reboot the emulator which is what you need to install the Google app bundle.

Next you'll install the google app bundle. (detailed instructions link below)

Then you download from Google Play the AMAZON APP STORE APP. you MUST download hearthstone from the AMAZON app, not google play.

Hearthstone app installed from Amazon app will allow you to make purchases using Amazon coins (either purchased in-app or on the amazon website)

Here's the link for the real detailed instructions (follow the first verified reply):http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17831990/how-do-you-install-google-frameworks-play-accounts-etc-on-a-genymotion-virt

Hope that helps! Took a bit but now i won't buy packs any other way. Plus don't forget to play a game in your android emulator for a free pack!!!
