homofairy poker

seems really rng based and a bit fustrating because it looks like the decks are limited by that

There's a game very similar to this on Kongregate. Not sure if you guys would enjoy it, but who knows.

http://www.kongregate.com/games/GameFuse/rise-of-mythos?haref=RoM_1.3_101813

I spent like 10 minutes with it and it's not really like Hearthstone outside of having cards in it. Be like saying Call of Duty is very similar to TF2. :P

Seems ok though except the animation quality is really bad for some reason.

SolForge & Might and Magic: Duel of Champions are both very good F2P TCGs imo. Not as high of quality as Hearthstone by a long mile as far as feel/effects/looks/etc go, but they are both alright more traditional TCGs like Hearthstone is.

Looking at post #24, the way the health/attack dmg, hand, hero/villain health and sort of the general layout, it reminded me of the game I linked :P Haven't played Hearthstone though so I can't be entirely sure. In fact, I rarely play TCGs anymore so those are probably the norm.

someone help me get out of diamond 3, been stuck on this rank for the past 25+ games.
Anyone know which day of the week ranks for ranked constructed resets??

tfw no invite

#36 afaik the ranks don't reset yet, they haven't implemented that reward system yet.

They really need to fix MC because it's kinda dumb that you can't play big drops against a Priest or else you will lose unless you make what is already a bad trade an even worse trade.

otherwise i haven't noticed any really glaring OP issues except that maybe Mage AoE is a little bit too good but it isn't anywhere near as stupid as playing against a competent Priest. It's getting to the point where I just want to concede against any priest because I know I'm not about to have any form of fun.

First day playing today. Went 4-3 in ranked games so far! Add me SteveC #1738

i want a key so badly :(

Anyone got beta keys? I'll trade you some keys in tf2 or something

just got a key, add me Bosh#1817

FOR OOV:
Backstab, Shadowstep, Cold Blood, Deadly Poison, Eviscerate, Defias Ringleader, Loot Hoarder, Novice Engineer, Harvest Golem, Shattered Sun Cleric, SI:7 Agent, Dark Iron Dwarf, Defender of Argus, Assassinate, Gadgetzan Auctioneer (2x each for all)

ez

edit: PUFFFFFFF#1653 always down to play

this game is hella fun
i still have the actual cards that came out a few years ago too. i always thought having the huge hero card was fun

Mind control was(is?) fine in MTG. Though, to be fair, other decks that aren't mage/priest probably need more answers to mind control. Maybe more kill/removal spells need to be chucked in for other classes.

I wouldn't know too much about it since I don't actually own it, but I have played a few games and found that Mage, Warrior, Priest & Paladin are pretty damn good if played right. Shaman is quite good, didn't try the other classes.

cheers

They've announced already they are nerfing MC to cost 10 mana.....

no idea when that is being implemented though

The main problem here is that Mind Control in MTG was an Enchantment and thus could be removed, nothing can stop Mind Control in Hearthstone once it takes one of your creatures (not even silence fixes it), and Priest has such ridiculous cards now (since like a large portion of them got buffed recently) that it took Mind Control from "reasonable because Priest had a lot of shitty cards" to "this is ridiculous when you add in how good SW:D, SW:P, Lightspawn, Northshire Cleric, and PW:S are jesus christ".

The meta of Hearthstone at the high level right now exists mostly because of Priest stuff atm. 4 attack drops are highly valued more than usual because a Priest can't destroy them with his removal (without getting creative, like using a Dark Iron Dwarf to improve a 4 attack to 6 then SW:D) and big drops are way way less valued because a Priest can MC them.

The MC nerf to 10 mana is going to help a lot because it's going to delay it for 2 turns and make removing the MC easier since if they MC on turn 10 currently you can Divine Spirit or PW:S the MC and make them even harder to remove.

my battle.net account wont verify for some reason
i cant sign up for a key : (

Here's my current constructed deck, I'm masters 2 atm and have like an 80% win rate with this.

Minions (18):
x2 Mana Wyrm (op value if you can protect them and play them smart, don't play this turn 1 ffs)
x2 Amani Berserker (Enrages are great for Mage since you can use your Hero Power to enable them)
x1 Knife Juggler (great card, counters stealth)
x2 Loot Hoarder (draw power/speed, always trades 2 for 1 pretty much)
x2 Novice Engineer (draw power/speed, always trades 2 for 1 pretty much)
x2 Raging Worgen (Enrages are great for Mage since you can use your Hero Power to enable them)
x2 Shattered Sun Cleric (strong effect)
x1 Dark Iron Dwarf (strong effect)
x2 Argent Commander (best neutral minion in the game)
x2 Azure Drake (draw power/speed, always trades 2 for 1 pretty much, spell damage owns)

Spells (12):
x2 Arcane Missiles (try to use this with Mana Wyrms on the field or Drakes)
x1 Mirror Image (use to protect Mana Wyrms, try to use when Knife Juggler is on the field for a free 2 damage, don't play this turn 1 ffs)
x2 Frostbolt (very strong card)
x2 Cone of Cold (nice AoE)
x2 Fireball (strong)
x2 Polymorph (strong, your get out of jail card, don't waste these)
x1 Pyroblast (your end condition)

Only thing I'd fix in this deck is replace 1 Azure Drake with a Bloodmage Thalnos and my Dark Iron Dwarf with a Sylvanas Windrunner if I ever get them.

Most of your games should end by turn 8.

I think poly should be 5-6 mana too imo. mage is pretty dumb right now too.

I will def play in the open beta.

Probably Arena only.

You can't do Arena only unless you pay money or always win 7 times each time (which is neigh impossible).

e:

I've been trying out Kithros's November 2nd Managrind 1st Place Rogue Deck with a very slight change and it is amazing...bout the only effective Rogue deck I've seen that isn't just a counter deck.

Deck list is:

• 1 x Edwin VanCleef
  
• 2 x Deadly Poison
  
• 2 x Dark Iron Dwarf
  
• 2 x Gnomish Inventor
  
• 2 x Azure Drake
  
• 2 x SI:7 Agent
  
• 2 x Eviscerate
  
• 2 x Harvest Golem
  
• 2 x Loot Hoarder
  
• 2 x Defias Ringleader
  
• 2 x Shattered Sun Cleric
  
• 2 x Novice Engineer
  
• 2 x Argent Commander
  
• 2 x Backstab
  
• 1 x Bloodmage Thalnos
  
• 2 x Defender of Argus

I replaced the Bloodmage Thalnos with a Leper Gnome since I don't own him.

are invites still worth something? just got an extra one.

edit: it's gone, i'll give away another if i happen to get another one

Plz gib me.

it'd be worth my friendship if that means anything to you :>

edit: beat by a single minute

ive been going 7+ nearly every run now. As long as i stick to shaman, paladin, warrior, priest, and mage. Druid is ok but I always end up being able to pick something else, i straight up blow on rogue in arena, hunter is a bit rough if no beasts in your draft and it's hero power is awful, and I just hate warlock in general. Also 2drop 2/3s are incredible, disgusting smile every time I draft one.

Has mad bomber been a straight up piece of shit in terms of RNG lately for anyone else? Everytime i've played him for the past week hes taken a dump on me by hitting me 3 times, i just stopped drafting him.

I played with Kithros' deck for a day or two, thalnos is incredible.

Poly feels fine to me, I've always been able to bait it out.

Mind control nerf! Maybe i can play 8drop+ legendaries in my decks now.
Also looking forward to the hunter changes, sick of seeing the OTK decks, it was so boring and all you had to do was run an abom to shut it down. Maybe hunter can actually be fun now.

@DarkNecrid, I run a mage deck similar to that, I run a flamestrike, double defender of argus, and double dark iron dwarf though. I end up running 2 shattered sun clerics, 2 defenders of argus, and 2 dark iron dwarves in nearly all my aggro decks. Feels nice when smaller minions trade up :P

Well yeah but still getting your gold back literal 100% of the time is pretty impossible though (even someone like Trump loses before 7 eventually) if you win 7+ times enough you build up reserve gold to make up for the losses. Still, most people gotta do the dailies or pay to do it 24/7 :P.

Also Warlock is amazing for minion rushing decks which is a big part of Arena, I like him a lot, he is better in Constructed tho.

Also I would replace your Flamestrike ASAP. Get Blizzard if you ABSOLUTELY need AoE removal, but you shouldn't need it with that deck unless you make mistakes. I've never needed Blizzard yet just because I make sure I'm always making equal or good minion trades as much as possible and Cone of Cold/Fireball/Poly are enough to defuse any situation before it gets massive.

And yeah Thalnos is great and I want it so bad.

Trading souls for a beta key, PM.

I know the Open Beta is coming soon, but would appreciate a key if anyone has one laying around. If you desire, I'm sure I could trade you some TF2/Dota 2 items. I'd still like to do some fiddling in this game, maybe stomp some of my friends that have it.
