I don't normally play Rogue, but I like this deck....however, at this point if I see an Ogremancer come out I just concede.

idiotsavant posted:Arena vs duels: what’s an easier/better chance of return on my free tavern tickets? Way back during League of Explorers I was halfway decent at Arena (I think an honest 5.5 average, sometimes better streaks) but I don’t have the faintest idea now. Just do whichever seems more fun and.call anything over the free pack a bonus? If you go duels and get Rattlegore. Just play this deck AAEBAQcP/weNDoKtAsO2AuLMA4rQA5PQA7XeA7beA4DkA5LkA6yfBIegBIigBIugBAAA With Scrapmetal demolitionist and Magnetic Mines. Near impossible not to get 3 wins. After that it becomes a lot more reliant on you being offered armour based cards so you can keep up with deck size increase.

Either you're playing different decks to me because I'm only in gold rank or I'm doing something wrong(it's this one), because this deck is useless for me. Ogremancer comes out and you don't have a 7 plus attack weapon....dead. Any taunt minion, probably dead. Two taunt minions? Concede. More than two minions on their board. dead. Don't pull a weapon till turn 5? dead. I'm feeling every win i have is totally reliant on me starting with a weapon in my hand and them not having a taunt minion. They manage to build up even a half arsed board and I might as well concede

Finally found a deck I don't mind playing that is actually good. Played 34 games with Token Druid and currently have a 80% win rate. Took me from Gold 10 to Plat 6 with 27 wins and 7 losses. I think some decks just suit my mind/play better. I really struggled getting a handle on that poison rogue deck, I was basically treading water, same with a priest deck I copied from someone in this thread. This Druid one just clicked.

Personally finding Stormwind is poison. Turn six, quest complete. dead. No interaction was had by anyone. What fun. If you're not playing a Questline deck any opponent with one vaguely on curve is going to beat you 4/5 times. If you are playing questline decks. it's just whoever gets theirs first, what's happening on the board is basically irrelevant unless it's to bounce spells for your quest off. Edit: I've played three OTK Rogue decks in about 6 games. Turn 6, off they go drawing the whole deck, the real skill is doing it before roping out. As an opponent you might as well be watching a recording, your presence is unnecessary Illuminti fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Aug 9, 2021 |

Just logged in for a quick game, got matched up against a quest warlock. He had 6 minions on the board and had completed his quest by turn 4. Lucky he had one slot left on the board left to play Blightborn Tamsin on turn 5. All in all a great game, it was really fun for me.

Same, I managed to get to plat 10 using deathrattle demon hunter very early on but I can barely string two wins together since day two of the expansion. My sole aim in ranked play now is to get The Sword of a Thousand Truths into play. I've achieved it a few times with a Boar Hunter deck, but it's pretty thankless. I can't believe some people actually seem ok with this expansion.

AnacondaHL posted:Well of course every questline deck feels like a combo deck, you lose a card in your opening hand and have to build your deck around the synergy otherwise it wouldn't be worth it, this is a combo, like no poo poo. They're not control decks because you're not controlling anything. You're just playing the next card you draw until turn 6. Then whoever got the best card draw wins

L0cke17 posted:Y'all are just fundamentally misunderstanding what a "control" deck is. Control decks are just that, designed to control the game and board until they can land a threat that goes over the top of whatever the opponent does and use that to kill them, typically with some sort of inevitability. Whether that comes in the form of just bigger threats, or recursive boards etc. Why don't you just play against a bot? Tennis against a wall is amazing, the most fun ever. Shame there's literally no interaction with the wall though...

Acerbatus posted:time for a break from quests, time for duels since theyre banned in th- They don't tend to do great in duels, first rounds not enough cards to complete in time and later on the card pool is to diluted. I play a lot of duels and don't come across quest decks that often. Interestingly I'm around Plat 10 and there has been a big fall off in quest decks. I encounter Warlock quest a bit but now it's nearly all handbuff and hunter. So I think they are going to pull off a double whammy, release an expansion that has loads of decks, piss off half the player base and then because the expansion is so broken end up with a tiny amount of viable decks that will end up pissing off both those who already didn't like the expansion and the people who liked the questlines but now can't play them because the only viable decks are ones that kill quest decks by turn 6. Quite an achievement. Illuminti fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Aug 16, 2021 |

Why is it they can't have a hard timer for rounds? I was just watching a Warlock go through the long and lengthy process of completing three questline rounds, clearing my 4 minions, playing tasmin and knocking me down to 10hp all on turn six (the flesh giant nerf has really knocked this interactivity problem on the head), but to really add insult to injury, the rope runs out and I have to sit there for 15 seconds waiting to start my turn.

Quest Warlock is the most joyless deck to play against. It has literally no redeeming features. Playing it is simply autopilot, playing against it is simply hoping you get the right cards in your opening hand to beat it by turn 6 or 7 or you might as well just autoconcede. edit: That's not to say it's a good deck. I think it's sub 50% winrate. It's just a poo poo deck for the enjoyment of the game.

Yestermoment posted:Was quest a necessity/lifesaver in that deck? I melted down my quest a while back. It pulled me back from single digit health at least twice in a 6 win run. You can finish the quest quite easily once you are cycling through boars and other deathrattle minions and it just sits there in your hand as a 5 mana full heal.

There was a site that collected lots of 12-win Duels decks in tweet format along with comments about how good the deck was, and a lot of the time they had lucked into the busted passives so it was like, well, yeah. It very passive dependent, yeah. Like often you'll get offered three that have literally zero synergy with our deck or character. Then it's basically a bust

Match 11 the guy conceded on turn 5. Match 12 against the same deck as mine I think! Killed him turn 7 with full health. Matches 3 to 7 were really touch and go.

Just a warning in case anyone plays duels. The dragonblood treasure literally doesn't work anymore. It doesn't trigger. Bug seems to have been reported more than a few times. Real amateur stuff from blizzard. I mean seriously. I really enjoyed my 0-3 run with a priest dragon deck

Jedit posted:Latency is a serious problem for EU players trying to play BGs on NA. I've seen it. I moved to Australia from UK 5 years ago, had already been playing hearthstone for a few years by then so didn't want to give up all my progress. Apparently though it is beyond the wit of man to change hearthstone regions and keep your cards. So I've been playing in the Europe region from Australia for 5 years. Can't say I've noticed any major lag or latencies issues, but I don't know what normal would look like. I have noticed I can fly up the ladder if i time my playing so that I'm online when everyone in Europe is up late, tired and drunk.

Vandar's "promote" hero power in duels seems a little overpowered to me. Although I guess its quite early on to judge. But "Give an minion +1/+1 and Rush, poisonous, taunt, windfury, divine shield, or stealth" for 1 gold....having just played a few you need to have a lot of board clear in hand if you even want a chance to stop that boulder

Valiantman posted:I rarely just complain because usually when I feel bad about playing it simply because I haven't found an enjoyable deck to lose with. I kinda have the feeling that the power creep is getting so big that it isn't fun anymore. I really honestly feel that duels is a less powerful mode than standard at the moment. I barely play standard anymore. Except to complete my quests. Whats the loving point? There's three decks, maybe four to play against. Once I've done my win five games of standard quest I pretty much know how every game for the next few months is going to play out and there's nothing I can do about it. They hit their cards I'm dead, I hit mine, they're dead. Duels in vastly more enjoyable, varied and interesting. Its nearly all I play now. You can have games that last 30 mins of swings and counters etc

I play a couple of times with an Elwynn Boar Drek Thar decks in Duels. It's ok, you can usually get it to 4/5 wins. If you get Mummy Magic though...12 wins is a piece of cake. You can usually get The sword of a thousands truth out about turn 5 or six.

Thank you. I love this deck. Especially as it spanks Quest hunter which i find arguably more annoying that Quest warlock to play against

I'm having one of those periods again where I'm just getting annoyed at how god drat slow all the players I'm facing are. I know it's new decks etc but dear god. You have three cards and 2 mana!!!! what are you doing!!?! That's usually combined at the end of the game with watching them play 5 cards, generate ten more, refresh all their mana, clear the deck and them do the two damage needed to finish me off with a spell they had in hand the whole time. Just Kill ME! I'm not impressed!
