I beg pardon for my brutality, but I think paying money to get better in a game (and a card game too) is one of the stupidest things ever.
Unless one seriously plans to become a professional as well, and get economic and/or social profit from it.
It depends who you are and what you want in life.
I'm 33, I enjoy playing Hearthstone and don't have lots of freetime. I make a good salary and can afford to pay for someone to teach me to get better, faster.
When I was 16, it was the opposite. I was on Ebay selling my time to level people up in Asherons Call, making side money playing a video game to help people get better.
edit: for the record, I've never played a HS coach, but have definitely considered it.
Just buy the value pack. You get a class legendary with 10 packs for only $5! With $60 you can get 120 packs and 12 legendaries (that's a lot of dust and duplicate legendaries you can dust!)
60$ for 120 packs and 12 legs? did I miss this ? I joined around late September. I don't see this offer and don't remember it. I do remember the starter welcome pack... but what's up with this 120 packs + 12 legs!?? I've bought tons of packs and don't ever remember seeing this
Yes, I used it to ladder from rank 15 to rank 5. But now I'm stuck at rank 5 and 4-5 stars thanks to pirate warrior. I just can't beat them. Any help is welcomed.
does Pirate Hunter worok? It seems they only have one good weapon, so 2 cards in 30, and all the pirates synergize with weapons.. also, it conflicts with beast synergy..
I could be wrong but it feels like Hunter needs a new weapon, maybe one that combines beast/pirate synergy!
thanks guys. I crafted Patches. Still sitting on the 1600 dust, since aggro Shaman (Shaman in general) is new to me and its the only deck so far I've played which would benefit from Thalnos, I'm playing it some more to make sure i like it enough to craft Thalnos. I think Sylvanis would be my other pick if I didn''t choose Thalnos or Aya, although there''s no immediate decks I want to use her with so... Aya is still tempting since it seems lots of mid range decks use her (including mid range shaman I want to try that I found on hearthpwn), even aggro shaman can use her in decks I've seen...
thanks man. I know I'm knew but I figured if Blizzard invested so much in the Jade mechanic, they would try their hardest to keep it as being viable for awhile?
What about Bloodmage Thalnos? It's really hard for me to justify 1600 dust just got a Kobold Geomancer with a draw mechanic. Would someone be able to explain to an ignorant noob why that draw is so great? Sincere question here... it seems that I'm only missing Bloodmage + Patches to complete the Aggro Shaman deck...
The versatility is what makes it great. While Kobold would sit in your hand where you wouldn't need the spell damage, you can pay thalnos and cycle it while playing a card your opponent should kill (even if it's easy af XD). So let's say that over 100 games Kobold would be good 70 and useless 30, Thalnos in those other 30 games would become something else. Not to mention when you make a good use of the spelldmg AND get the draw that micro-advantage becomes bigger and more valuable. Not the flashiest but the fact that it's never useless makes it a very good card if you can make use of spelldmg EDIT: If you miss only Patches and Bloodmage for Aggro Shaman, go for them. Thalnos is an evergreen card, will always be good and in that specific deck is huge as you have many good spell dmg interactions and that deck is argueably the best atm
thanks, that explaination helps a lot! So you think Thalnos will give me the edge here.. I guess now I'm def crafting Patches and now debating if I should craft Thalnos over Aya... since Aya would open me up to other archetypes like Jade shaman and maybe even Jade druid (but missing Fandral..)
I would say patches and Aya. Nzoth decks often require Sylvanis and other death rattle legendaries to work.
Patches opens up these decks: Pirate Warrior, Aggro Shaman, and imo aggro hunter has been overlooked and might become a thing.
Aya opens up: Jade Druid and Jade Shaman
Nzoth for you only opens up: Nzoth Buff Hunter (Its decent, not the best tho), cause ur missing shaman legendary, carne, and sylvanis
Side note: I accidently crafted a golden karakus, was reinsured by the comunity that it wasn't a bad thing (one of the best to have golden), but I haven't used it hardly at all because I refuse to play priest, I don't have new mage legendary, and am missing a card for renolock. I don't suggest karakus for you, much too limited. Unless you LOVE Reno decks.
Thanks. So you think Aya is a better pick than Thalnos?
I played a few wild games recently only because I go so bored of playing the exact same decks in the current meta. But I don't have any wild cards.. Would crafting a wild deck take a lot of dust at this point since I have literally none of the cards? N'Zoth really excites me but I feel like I need Aya + Patches more to compete on ladder right now...
thanks. Already cashed in my boogeys and 1x Hobart. That's how I got Rags + Leeroy. So far the only useable legendary I've opened has been White Eyes and that one isn't exactly a home run... :D

I played mostly Hunter from when I started back in October. I since played few different decks since MSOG since I couldn't win with hunter anymore.
I'm trying to decide what's worth crafting at this point. Debating between N'Zoth, Patches & Aya.
It seems like every person I play against has all the baller legendaries.. The worst it seems (cost wise) is Renolock which is basically like playing someone in god mode and cost a million dollars with all the legendaries.. then you have the aggro decks and jade decks which all run Patches & Aya...
I started playing Shaman recently and have had fun but feel like I'm missing out not having Aya and Patches. I hate Patches though but it almost seems like I need him to have the edge in the aggro decks? And without Aya I can't play any Jadey decks? Kazakus seems interesting but the decks that run him seem to run lots of other legendaries I can't afford..
Should I craft Aya & Patches? I DO have Leeroy + Rags already. No NZoth, and no Sylvanis, no Bloodmage Thalnos, etc...
Thanks!
PS-- have opened shit loads of packs. Got 2x boogeymonster and 2x hobart grapplehammer :D
Just played against a Priest as Shaman. He Draoknid stole my STORM GUARDIAN + HEX.. When I dropped my SG he hexxed it and summoned his. Baller. Can't imagine the odds of that

side question: how do you determine how many cards you have in a given set?
