The Official Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft Thread

The new brawl was fun - 27 spell mage is a cheat.
Summoning portal - doesn't count as minion, get lucky and u get 6+ mana minion on turn 3.

Don't even need to pick any minions in the deck - if somehow game goes over turn 7 which doesn't happen often with frost bolt frostbolt lance lance fireball fireball missles missles torch torch ( +3+3+4+4+6+6+3+3+3+3 = 38dmg not counting hero power or minion that you drop from summoning).

Enemy summons minion at turn 7 - you duplicate, polymorph, worst case scenario it gets vaporize. If it goes to turn 9 with coin or 10, just pyroblast face.
 
i still ceases to amaze me that facetard hunter is still viable

that deck induces rage in me. ill rope every game against a hunter out of spite.

ill also BM the holy hell out of them at the end. screw you hunter.

i guess the anyfin deck im using can induce rage especially when i get 70 damage done from my quest in 1 game against a warrior
 
To be honest, you'll be amazed how ineffective it is most of the time and how much thought you sometimes have to put behind it vs players that know what they're doing.

I found aggrodin to be much more stressful, coin shielded minibot turn 1, aoe removal anything in the game, infinite 1/1s.

I've had a game where I've been killed by aggrodin in turn 4 because he started first and then kept removing everything I put on the board. 4/4 taunt? Easy, just reduce hp to 1 and kill with a 1/1.

Hunter hasn't got any aoe removal apart from explotrap which is obvious when it comes and can easily be played around.

It's not like murloc paladin takes any skill - you throw random 1-2mana minions entire game to trade, if anything big comes up you remove it with 0 effort and then turn 9 or 10 lethal instantly from 30 to 0.

I'd much rather go against facehunters all day than control priests, control warriors or any kind of paladin really.

Also, define viable? 55% winrate if you're good at around rank 10-15 tops if you get lucky with matchups?

According to the power rankings, it's on the rock bottom of the list which would mean the very opposite of viable:

Not sure if I'd call that viable - you can probably play face warrior and get further up with all the removal options.

seems i face them at the start and end of every season so they must have some weight behind them.

ive faced 3 in 7 games today at rank 10

id prefer to play against any control deck than facetard.

its why i love and hate this game, its so diverse. everyone plays the game slightly differently.

i wouldnt exactly say anyfin pally takes no skill. you've gotta take the right trades and youve got to make it to turn 10. im not saying its not an easy deck to play but its not foolproof.

secret pally ive found quite easy to play against too as you know the deck, you know the secrets so know how to play around them.
 
I suppose the advantage of face decks, and the only reason they're not on completely negative winrates is that you almost cannot have a bad hand - they're not draft dependant to most extent as there is almost something you can play.

I've played a midrange beast hunter recently - which was fun to play, but if your starting hand consists of 2 4mana spells and a 6mana minion and next 2 drops are 3-4mana and you cannot do anything pre turn 4 there isn't much you can do when you start the game 4 turns behind.

Had similar thing with mage and warlock as well - get a bad starting hand and you've instantly lost the game. Face decks are, ironically, more about actual skill (and yes, you do have to trade as well) and the only lucky part is whether you're facing a heavy counter or not - which you can still sometimes win if they get bad cards.

Almost all facehunter minions are 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1 so it's not exactly difficult for paladins (especially murloc) to trade and if you run any kind of taunt, heal or double cons you pretty much already won.

you can pretty much say that about any deck though, if you have the counter to it then its easy to win.

my main gripe is that i hate facehunter with a passion and will gladly rope and BM the hell out of them.

i said once before but a facehuntard added me after i pulled reno out on him telling my my whole family should die of cancer and people like me are whats wrong with the game.

thought it was rather funny, i wish they would bring some reporting into the game to be honest. i dont think comments like that are necessary or healthy for the game.

im looking forward to the new changes as it will bring a fresh way of playing (so to speak) i think i have pretty much the full collection of standard cards and all the main and useful standard legionaries.

You can report people like that. Take a screenshot of the conversation window, their BNet ID should be on it. However, don't expect anything to happen unless they've used hate speech or made direct threats. Hate speech is bannable, anger speech is not.

Would calling me a homosexual be classed as hate speech? I took a screenie once of a guy who added me and just spammed me with such messages.
 
Don't bother with the screen shot when reporting people. They use chat logs to view what they wrote and don't use any screen shots at all as they can easily be photoshopped.

Too fix it though just don't accept people straight after a game as 9/10 they will spam you with ****.
 
Another pack another 40 dust. It should increase the chance of getting a card that I don't already own popping out.

That way I don't get about 10-15 legendary duplicates in a row before I finally pull one I don't have and have to spend 6k dust again to make 3 legendaries and 2 epics I didn't have for my control warrior deck despite opening over 300 packs of classic.
 
Funny you mention that, I bought a couple of packs recently and out of 400 or so cards, around 350 were duplicate common cards.... joke!

They should just make sets of cards available to buy instead, it's ridiculous that you can spend £500 on this game and still not have the cards you want. I see no reason why they couldn't just sell "Set of all classic cards" or "Set of all mage cards" for £69.99 or something. Surely it's lot less money than just buying random packs but maybe it will encourage people to pay rather than count on RNG.
