Dies to Removal

Watch the curve, don't worry about synergy as much as good 2 for 1 traders and good value cards. Only pick amazing spells.

I've had some crazy decks like a mage draft with 7 mana wurms and a shaman deck with 5 flametongue totems

I'll try drafting again tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

I'm stuck around 19-20 right now. I think it's because I don't really have the dust to craft some of the better cards. I also am having a dismal time with the Arena. I'll get to 3 wins and then just start losing. My record is 4 wins. 4 WINS. Fucking horrible. I need to re-read the arena drafting tips.

Had a really good run last night with the Warrior. I'm not playing a rush deck. I'm slowing it down, playing more defense and card draw, and then blowing them out late game. Shield Block is quickly becoming one of my favorite cards in the deck.

Same thing with the Priest. Using Northshire Cleric as a card draw engine, then stalling with smaller taunt minions while setting up for either a Fen Creeper or Lord of the Arena and maxing out their health. Shadow Word: Pain and Death are spectacular for controlling the board.

EDIT: Just realized there is a legendary minion named Gruul. Thought it was funny.

I've been really happy playing either the Warrior or the Priest the last few days. Question about the Warrior. Is there a limit to how high you can pump your armor? I think the highest I've gotten it is around 10.

I'm still in.

How is everyone feeling about a tournament held here in a couple of weeks? Almost everyone is at the same level anyway.

I'm down.

He opened with the 0/1 stealth guy that gives a +1 health bonus every end step

I hate that fucking guy! Even more than the dude in the priest deck that let's you draw a card every time a minion is healed. Now, I'm assuming Stealth is very similar to Shroud? You can't target, but sweepers will hit them. Is that right?

Never got into WoW. Probably a good thing. If something is fun and interesting, I tend to devote too much time to it. Like Hearthstone. I think I've played more Hearthstone in the last week than MTG in the last few months.

I've been destroying stuff with Priest decks. Putting down a creature with taunt -> buffing health -> healing it every turn with 1-3 "whenever a minion is healed, draw a card" creatures on the board is goodstuff, apparently.

I tried this out last night. I can see how this has potential. Now to level up my Priest and get some more expert cards.

Did one hearthstone draft with a buddy and we won 8 games using a warrior playing what I would only call an agro deck. Being good at magic makes you good at hearthsonte...

Just downloaded the game today and it's been fun so far.

Battle tag Lauphiette. My name is so awesome for always being available.

LP, your BattleTag should have the # sign followed by 4 numbers. For example, mine is SlfMedicated#1279.

Kaze, shoot me your BattleTag when you get a chance.

I haz leeroy jenkins now

I don't know any of the cards. What's his stats?

3 straight losses in the arena last night. It was a fucking massacre. I thought I had done a good job choosing cheap creatures with good abilities. My curve looked good. I was wrong. Every game I would run out of steam. I had one opponent down to 2 life and he came back to win. I think one of my big problems was not enough card draw.

I don't know my tag offhand, I'll add you tomorrow morning while I'm hanging in my hooch cave

Ham, shoot me your BattleTag. Or add me. Whichever.

I don't think decklists are really anything written in stone yet. The meta is pretty much wide open. I'm actually having fun playing this game.

So can you play custom matches with friends, like on MTGO?

I sent Captain Murphy a friend request. If anyone wants to send me a request, my battle tag is SlfMedicated#1279.

I fucking love this game. I would love to play with some people but the only one on my friends list that has it doesn't have time and hates the fact I am better cause of previous TCG experience.

Agreed. I've been having a blast the last few days. It kings reminds me of when I first started playing MTG back in 1994. If anyone wants to add me to their friends list, my Hearthstone name is SlfMedicated#1279.

What kind of deck are you running? And, if it's not a bother, can I see any decklists that you think are solid?

Just downloaded the open beta last night and played for a few hours. It's very enjoyable. I can see myself getting more involved. I'd be interested in a tournament. I just started though, so I'm still figuring out what kind of deck I want to build. Hell, I haven't even unlocked all the avatars yet.
