Hearthstone

No matter my mulligan or draw or tech there doesn't feel like there's any way to win against buff token Druid. Dead by turn 7 most games. Silence doesn't help because they get buffed back the next turn.

As warlock I feel like I should just auto concede as a win doesn't feel possible.

Seeing that the new set just dropped. Is anyone playing the mode and what are your thoughts?

Personally I played through to Plat 5 on a not so complete jade rogue deck. Also got lucky and unpacked a legendary off of one golden pack from caverns of time. Also I had made it a point to get every common/rare card in the game when they announced duplicate protection so I have a good majority of cards already, I can imagine people that dust everything that goes to wild will have a bit of a harder time getting into the mode.

I've mostly piloted aggro since I've played hearthstone so this deck is a bit of a departure from what I'd usually play because besides hunter and drum druid right now there isn't too much aggro honestly. I'll consistently end games around turn 6 or 7. Usually people just quit when I plop down the ooze on 5. The consistency of the deck as well as the potential to turn from scam combo with the undead package into slightly more control oriented with the symphonies and sargaeras just feels really flexible and nice.

What's everyone's thoughts so far either on this deck or just the meta in general right now?

Edit: rest in pieces thaddius

Mech Rogue nerfed but at least alibi stalling is going to hell. Post deck codes if ya got them!

Kinda bummed that warrior is going to be pushed to a control archetype when the tempo enrage cards are so fun. Also fuck priest.

I played from Vanilla to Rise of Shadows before quitting Hearthstone. I had a fairly complete competitive collection at that time. How hard would it be for me to get back into Hearthstone if I intended to only play Wild?

For me it's control priest. It's honestly just one of the most unfun matchups for how much generation he's got and healing and boardclears and I'd rather just auto conceelde at this point than face him. Doesn't even feel good to play against him when you win

Yet again, the devs messed up what could be a decent brawl mechanic. By turn 3 or 4, your hand is full for the rest of the match, pretty much guaranteeing that you won't get to play the card you chose.
The opponent's hand is also likely full, so they don't receive the cast off card.

Best way to have avoided this would have been to set player's opening hand to zero cards or expand hand size to 12 or 15. With three cards being added to your hand every turn, you will still eventually reach a point where your hand is perpetually filled, but at least it would take a bit longer and you could actually play the cards you picked and/or received.

This weekend Hearthstone is celebrating Twist and TITANS announcements with a special Community Day. 11 Packs will be given out via Twitch Drops starting July 1, 12pm PDT

The game has been around awhile, interested to hear when ya'll started?

I started in 2015 after the Grand Tournament.

I took my favorite card and made a wallpaper for my cellphone, sharing because this been sitting on my hard drive for way to long!

6 mana 6/7.

Because it's so quiet here I guess I'll post something: I don't understand why I'm so bad at arena. I hit legend once in constructed a long time ago (Un'goro) so I understand the fundamentals. I've made honest attempts over the years to get good at arena. I watched a lot of YouTube videos on how arena differs from constructed, studied tier lists, etc. The best I've ever done 11 wins, but at my best I was probably averaging 3.5 wins. This weekend I played ~4 runs and had <3 wins each (but I'm returning after a long break).

I just can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong...

It's quiet in here. Surely someone has something they want to complain about :P
