Watching the GM stuff on youtube (Hey, I should have a pack by now). Penflinger and Librams have been everywhere, and actually cards I'd like to see go away. But Blitzchung didn't ban mage - and had an insane gibberling start against a lunacy made, getting 4 2/2s and a 1/1 on turn 1 with the coin. But The mage had lunacy on 2, into skull of gul'dan on 3, drawing runic carvings, etc etc. Just kill Lunacy.

I find it comical that Wild is probably in a better place than standard right now. As an aside, Horde Operative is really good, makes a nice tech for deathrattle hunter. Love stealing someone's OMY and watching them burn their own call to arms. Also, the official most comical game ever, with a highlander mage coin - ratting my Tonk out turn 1. Cheers!

Cry Havoc posted:wow the meta is so toxic right now between mage and paladin, can’t even enjoy playing other classes Yeah, considering that MtG Arena just launched on mobile this is a terrible time for them to have a meta this unfun. I’ve only been logging on to do daily/weekly challenges and then immediately going back to draft Kaldheim to my heart’s content. A 3 class meta with 1 class in a clear lead over the other 2 is just an atrocious experience. Hopefully the balance patch comes quickly and things become sane again.

I’ll give blizz the benefit of the doubt on mage since it’s a combination multiple reasons that spell mage is so good right now (small spell pool from Core rotation, very little aggro due to watchposts, etc.) but Paladins have just been getting crazy strong cards and synergies multiple expansions in a row and it’s just cumulated in a deck where almost every single card is standalone nuts good and I have no idea how they thought any other classes would be able to stand up to them

Kalko posted:Yeah, they really need to change their treasure/bucket weightings so that if, for example, you don't have a single Deathrattle minion you don't get offered any cards for it. The deck-building aspect of it really suffers when you aren't able to have your choices guide the kind of deck you want to make. I'm not saying every Harvest Time deck should always be offered a Nature's Army bucket, but they really need to tighten it up. i need to ban myself from duels because it's basically burning gold at this point. i think ive had like 2 runs over 7. every deck is just so strong, if you dont get rally you're done basically and it's there so loving early kind of not interested in arena either because of the poison minions. sucks to play against Quotey fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 9, 2021 |

In the long run this is probably a good thing because they won't have to print OP cards for paladin (and other classes) to keep them afloat.

Just noticed on Reddit that Firestone added tracking the number of packs you opened since you started playing the game. Not sure how they get the data though. Also, now that I look at the screenshot, I'd be happier not knowing this. kaaj fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Apr 9, 2021 |

this has probably been mentioned before, but is there any data on when during the week it's typically better to try to climb ranks? i'm sure everything is completely out of whack due to a new expansion, but it seems i'm getting pretty hosed right now just trying to do my weeklies.

The youtube packs are a separate event from the Twitch packs. The only thing they've said about how the packs actually get into your account for this one though is that they'll show up ready to be opened within 48 hours of meeting whatever their criteria is for how long you need to watch the youtube stream. Of course, by the time you can figure out if their system isn't working you'll probably have forgotten about the whole thing.

https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23652241/drops-return-to-hearthstone-masters Also, you can definitely earn progress to your second pack for twitch drops (unrelated to this GM stuff) before claiming your first pack. I had one to claim and the second at 95% progress, it just bugs out and you have to restart twitch to claim the second one when it hits 100%.

So I'm continuing to try Zoo Priest for like the fifth consecutive expansion. It's still pretty terrible, but I'm cautiously optimistic that after Paladin and Mage get nerfed that this time it'll be viable! ### Rally Zoo # Class: Priest # Format: Standard # Year of the Gryphon # # 2x (1) Crimson Clergy # 1x (1) Frazzled Freshman # 2x (1) Guardian Augmerchant # 1x (1) Reliquary of Souls # 2x (1) Renew # 2x (2) Kul Tiran Chaplain # 2x (2) Power Word: Feast # 2x (2) Sethekk Veilweaver # 1x (2) Wandmaker # 2x (3) Apotheosis # 2x (3) Lightspawn # 2x (3) Voracious Reader # 1x (4) Blademaster Samuro # 2x (4) Lightsteed # 2x (4) Rally! # 1x (5) High Abbess Alura # 1x (5) Taelan Fordring # 2x (6) Devout Pupil # AAECAa0GBs6+A7vRA8PRA/7RA/voA6iKBAyTugObugOvugPevgO00QPA0QPG0QP64wP74wOi6APvnwTynwQA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone # Generated by HDT - https://hsreplay.net I originally tried out deathrattle shenanigans (I think I even posted it here) and it was horrible. Then I left it alone for a while as I went back to good old Control Priest (seeing as my other main classes, Paladin and Mage, are entirely too meta for my preference). I thought I'd let it die there but... as I was making some revisions to my actually good deck I noticed Lightspawn, which led to me recalling it's at 3 mana now. I also remembered that Lightsteed has always been sneaky good, and this was the result. As I said at the beginning, it still doesn't really perform all that great right now. However, there's room for optimism - the only things that have really hosed me are Devolving Missiles, Deck of Lunacy highrolls, and Paladin existing. In my other (rare) matchups it's done rather well, even against Watch Posts. I think it needs some optimization yet at the 1 mana slot and the high end, but it power spikes nicely from 3 to 6-ish mana.

So where are these loving balance changes? They're really making us wait a full two weeks in this dogshit meta? Just had a mage lunacy on 2 into 3 mana skull of Gul'dan into make 5 pally tokens and prides call + sermon to buff them to like 3/5s (all for free, on that turn) Fun and interactive
