Hello hearthstone thread. I put $100 dollars in the Blizzard machine and I got p good tempo mage and spellmage netdecks out of it. Been having a blast. My varient on Tempo mage has a Lorekeeper Polkest - Pyroblast - 2x fireball and I feel like a Kenshiro on turn 7 playing Lorekeeper AI and have my opponent chipped down to 22. Too Many Birds posted:i feel like despite playing this game for a while i just don't have the brain smarts to build a deck from scratch and usually have to rely on net decks which isn't very fun, are there some general tips or resources that can help me with this? My best advice is to take a netdeck and switch like one or two card packages around. Also combo decks are wierdly the most straightforward decks to learn to build: you figure out your combo and fill the rest in with cycle minions.

The season start seems excessively aggressive, but then I played against a druid and the game went past turn 7. Now I understand why every deck needs a plan to kill the opponent by turn 7.

Spellmage is incredible. It feels like I'm hacking the matrix when I pull the Devolve Missiles against Resurrect Priest. I know that in reality it is the highrolliest control deck that can match aggression because you generate all of the answers you could possibly want and you can play them all for free. So much value gets generated it doesn't matter if it is bad. So many times have I hit elemental synergy in a deck with literally no minions. I hold on to elemental setups and pay offs because I believe in the heart of the cards. I have blacked out the games where I mulligan into Power of CreationX2 Reno. They never happened and never will.

AnacondaHL posted:I just lived the mini-dream and used Adorable Infestation as part of my Kael'thas chain into Survival of the Fittest, resulting in 5/5 cubs. That is all. Disgusting druid player. Make me sick. Spellmage is a clown fiesta where I regularly get Solaris Prime. One time he casted Potion of Illusion, giving me another Solaris Prime, who costed 1 and also played Potion of Illusion. I was able to get the fabled DOUBLE BOX with 20 random spells cast for 10 mana.

skaboomizzy posted:If Spell Mage is still viable that's probably gonna be my jam after I futz around with some other decks. Lemmie tell you it feels real good, basically the same decklist as before, but with the secret package stripped down to it's bones for 2X Brain Freeze and 2X Spell Damage Studies. The biggest thing is that the general power creep has made random minions valuable. Power of Creation regularly gives me 4/6s with bonus text, Spell Damage Studies gives me Solarius Prime like every other game, and there's ~enough~ minion generation that you can utilize the element and dragon synergies. Edit: Reno is like $20 to upgrade this deck. I love him to death.

yikes! posted:what destroys priest!? WHAT DESTROYS PRIEST!?? Devolving missiles from Evocation has always come up big against both Rez priest and libram pally. Enough so that I think that'll be my tech choice if Lirbram Pally is still on the top spot. Hits the druid stealth draw 2 beasts too, but lol if I ever seen that just played on the board without Guardian Animals. I'd suggest slipping in a silence or transform tech card if you are in a class that can.

DNK posted:Tempo Mage is super fun. I routinely blow through like 7 cards a turn every turn once I hit 5 mana or so. Potion of Illusion with Sorc Apprentice and Wand Thief is insanely good. I've tried to use Voratious Reader in my Tempo Mage deck and... It just gets in the way of itself or other card draw the majority of the time. Gonna have to swap em out for Wand Thief, that's the replacement yeah!

blizzardvizard posted:Is Libram Pally considered the "top spot"? I'm playing sort of a different version of it but it feels like a solid Tier 2 deck to me, and doesn't come close to the level of BS Big Druid or Freeze Mage can bring to the table. First month numbers from hsreplay put Nerd Paladins as the deck that can stand the early set aggression and can sweep up Druid.

Chin Strap posted:Tortollan Combo Mage is legit. It just hurts my brain to play I just watched a showcase on the deck. Holy poo poo this is 5D solitaire chess. I thought the depth charges were rediculous, but it is absolutely necessary when you fill your board with 7 1/1s that cast frost nova. If you hit the nuts and draw ORB before Polkelt you can do some math meme deck manipulation until you get to the 4 Mana Nightblades, the secret inevitable weapon. This deck is BANANAS

adamarama posted:Paladin was trash tier for a long long time and is now merely very good. I can see nerfing braggart to 3 mana but a nerf to wisdom or first day of school is overkill this early in the expansion. It's not oppressive by any means and a zero mana spell in paladin is not comparable to the nonsense that rogue was/is capable of. Wisdom isn't the back breaker in Paladin. It's that Power of Authority dropping on 5 Mana and reduced costed 8/8 divine shield heal right after that.

I like the cat and mouse meta of "Am I fast enough to pull off my *thing*" vs "am I fast enough to kill him before he does his *thing*" and each thing is an asymmetrical threat cheated out by turn 5.

orangelex44 posted:How, exactly? If they get the right draw they just... win. Tortola mage cannot really go off until turn 8/9. So you really gotta throw every minion you can at them before that point. All their "pre-turtle time" survival tools are sub par minions with effects, honestly ignore them. Your minions should be permafrozen in a "post turtle time" world, so you gotta have some over the top damage.

blizzardvizard posted:I don't mean, like, this expansion, but the fact that it can basically guarantee your draws for the next X turns is potentially very abusable. Like right now it's mostly used to "tutor" cards like Dinotamer or Skull of Gul'dan, but we already saw shades of it being a 100% consistency combo enabler with that Mozaki deck. It hasn't broken anything yet, but I expect at some point in time, possibly before it rotates out, something's gonna break. Oh right, I see it as that too. But I think Bliz knows that going in. Polkelt feels very much like a Thaurusan level card.

Xguard86 posted:I dislike it because it feels like they can generate so many cards, they're going to find an answer. Unless you are running a deck that can make an unfair turn itself, and thus the HS rng solitaire experience that happens so often. Highlander mage is like no-minion mage but the RNG is always good. That makes it an unfun to play against deck. Unrelated, I know Hyena Alpha is standard in face hunter, but in this expansion a turn 4 7/7 just doesn't feel unfair enough.

I dunno man, I just click on the thing in HS replay and it was all "yeah this list with 4 traps and two hyena's totally 60%, if you wanna see the good numbers you should subscribe" Point still stands, I subbed it out for the dormant Felthing. But that doesn't really hit the spot either. ### Face Hunter # Class: Hunter # Format: Standard # Year of the Phoenix # # 2x (1) Adorable Infestation # 1x (1) Demon Companion # 2x (1) Dwarven Sharpshooter # 2x (1) Intrepid Initiate # 2x (1) Tour Guide # 2x (1) Wolpertinger # 1x (2) Explosive Trap # 2x (2) Freezing Trap # 2x (2) Imprisoned Felmaw # 2x (2) Phase Stalker # 2x (2) Pressure Plate # 2x (2) Scavenger's Ingenuity # 2x (2) Voracious Reader # 1x (3) Animal Companion # 2x (3) Eaglehorn Bow # 2x (3) Kill Command # 1x (4) Dragonbane # AAECAR8EtQPJBIewA4LQAw2oAocE/gyfpQP7rwP8rwOiuQP/ugPczAObzQOizgPG0QO50gMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Edit: I knew I wasn't crazy

As a demon hunter setting up for the classic combo of weapon into lapidary. Is it more annoying to get frost bolted in the face on your turn 4 or on your turn 5?

I don't remember the last THUNDERDOMES having a free run, nah, gotta pay up. I do like how you don't break even until 6 or 7 wins. But gently caress it I made play the first time last month and I know I'll go 12-0 off the back of 3 Mana Apexis Blast and 3 copies of Evocation.

Every time I play face hunter I get matched into aggro rogue, is there any way to win that matchup other than sheer luck? Eesh. Foreal, I don't know how to play that matchup, like should I fight for board or just go face harder. If rogue can get their card draw rolling when I run out of gas I'm out. If I can get my explosive trap down somehow on turn 2 or 4 I feel great, then rogue reloads with secret passage and I die. It feels like rogue has like 4 more resources than I will ever get.

blizzardvizard posted:I'm fine with the Secret Passage nerf, they just want to control its consistency a little bit rather than gut it completely. I still think they should also change it so it replaces the whole hand back and doesn't leave discovered/shadowstepped cards behind, since that's more intuitive anyway, but eh. As a mage player who mainlines Evocation to generate value, I will fight for rogues right to keep their gen'd cards. Like it costs Mana to gen them.

You have hit the correct modifier. I hope to do this sequence of semantics again in the next set where I get to read Qualifier-qualifier: a Standard card in the most recent set, nerfed after the first hotfix. They've historically let poo poo linger in Wild for the sake of Standard until after the first bundle goes out of sale.

DNK posted:I feel like I’m the only one playing Turtle mage and I’m just crushing everyone. To be fair, it’s a crazy puzzle of a deck to pilot — hand management gets nutty and you do have to remember the order that you played minions on the board pretty intently — but it seems too powerful for me to be the only one doing it. I have seen it in my travels like one time, so unless that was you there are folks doing it. One day I'm gonna try the Puzzle Box varient and commune with the heart of the cards.

Battlegrounds just doesn't feel good. Like the average game is like 30-40 minutes (like 2 games in a 1.5 hour session) and that makes the variance unbearable. Sure hearthstone has a lot of varience, but in a 2 hour session I can crack out like 15 one on one games to get an ok w/l record. Battlegrounds with like the 7 other competitors just gives me really low lows frequently. I will say that winning is like heroin in that game, I get why people chase that dragon
