Same question here. There needs to be an update patch I guess – which hopefully will also solve those annoying Android problems. :/

Hm. Not sure how ‘more detailed stats’ have an influence on gameplay (on the other hand, if the haven’t – why have stats at all!?).

But yeah, we’ll see when gameplay is live if that gives any advantages or not.

Regarding ‘only 30 packs’ … if someone wants to play HS Battlegrounds but not HS, 30 packs is a lot imho.

Am I the only one who is confused about the Tiers? In HS (and every other game I know that works with them), Tier 1 is the best Tier. But here, it’s the other way round. :/

Idk if I understand correctly but… isn’t ‘opening packs from the most recent Hearthstone expansion adds certain upgrades for the Battlegrounds’… P2W ?

I like this deck very much but I have to say that it fizzles hard and often – if you’re not finding Cleric or Pyro. Idk, maybe I’m just unlucky.

But if it works, it is fun to play (not for the opponent, mind you).

Did we see many Ravens in The Year of the Raven? Was there a squid tribe in Year of the Kraken?

These are just titles for Hearthstone years, so it’s not said that there will be any dragons in the 3rd expansion.

That said, it wouldn’t be bad if there where…

Mostly playing on mobile; needed to reduce my Ladder playtime to a minimum. Experienced exactly the same issues as you, including loosing winning matches.

Bad timing considering the fact that LOR is a new contestant for mobile card games.

is that ‘… to Priest.’? idk … MCT counters Priest. 😉

Play Shudderwock Quest Shaman. Multiple Mind Control Techs is a pretty solid counter for Priest.

Ah well, that explains. Shouldn’t play around those, of course. 😉

I could swear to god one of my opponents played a Flamestrike against me (in Dual Class Arena, of course) last week. Can you discover Basic and Classic cards?

I wonder what’s with Azalina Soulthief and King Togwaggle? I see them in lists every now and then – which sets them on a par with cards like Ragnaros, The Lich King or Aya imho.

Besides that, very invormative articles. Thanks for that.

As if you’d draw Bwonsamdi by turn 7 every game!?

Agreed that the deck is straightforward but not easy to play … especially the Pyromancer-Cleric-Draw-a-lot turns might screw yourself if not executed correctly.

But it’s true – getting the board removed and having bad luck with the next draws (or Psychopomp reviving Psychopomp or Sidekick o.O) makes for unwinnable matches against most opponents. There’s just no reach.

Well… erm… that’s what I was trying to tell. I wanted to do that 2 times and my ‘better’ deck had 5 secrets plus spell generating cards like Spellslinger.

Nonetheless I didn’t manage to play 6 secrets in time before defeating the Lord (one of the tries) or being defeated by the Lord (the other try, where my deck had 4 secrets plus spell generating cards).

As I found out today, if you defeat 4 Plague Lords, those Jrs get upgraded zu Srs … in the case of Madame Tomb Diver, you only need to play 3 secrets, then. Which makes the hole scenario more realistic.

So much for replay value. 😉

Played 2 runs on Heroic, picking the deck that already has 3 secrets in it.

Both runs ended with at best 5 secrets in the deck and a totally useless Signature Hero Card (well, at least it’s a 5/5 for 4, I guess).

I even picked suboptimal buckets with cards like Spellslinger in desperate search for additional secrets.

And even if you manage to build that deck: You have to draw and play your secrets AND draw and play Madame Jr. afterwards. Okay, the Lord game goes long, but I’m not so sure if you’ll have time for such shenanigans.

So I assume that it’s very hard to assemble and that you’ve gotten incredibly lucky. 😉

Does anyone know how the ‘Silentstone’ (don’t know the english translation yet; the 0 mana thing that lets you flee to the tavern) works with Plague Lords?

Already tired of Zephrys plays across both formats. Don’t get me wrong, cool card (crafted it golden 😉 ), but the power spike is too high and most of the time, the outcome is pretty ‘boring’ (read: obvious).

Besides that, I’m not so sure I like the fact that a single card can turn bad matchups into good ones.

Dudes, really? Deleting comments because they got good links to good websites?

Good article and mostly on point.

One thing about ‘If your deck began with no duplicates …’ – I’m pretty sure that in the end, this would cause more problems than it would solve. For an example, just think about Brann Bronzebeard and Baleful Banker. All of a sudden, you could have tons of duplicates of your power spikes, and they would all go off no matter how many of them are in your deck.

Of course this is a Wild thing, due to Brann. But there are clever people out there who would abuse this wording in every format.
