hey peeps. just started. do add me: AridEyes.

im more noob than u lol
just reached lvl 4. still a long way to go. i guess if we vs, it will be a 1 sided game. wait me get some better cards first

so been playing this game for like a week. here is my initial thoughts on it.

what i like about it:

1. option to play for free.
2. the resource prevents from mana screw/flood.

what i dont like about it:

1. too much grinding if you're planning to go free route
2. the heroes are not well balanced. if you look at t1 decks, only some heroes are used.
3. only one game style (no drafts). campaign is limited. haven't joined any tourneys though.
4. no interaction between players. no i dont mean chat or anything. but there is no instant spells (where u can play it anytime). so during my opponent turn i dont even have to see what he's doing cause its not like i can stop it.
5. no trading between players

Well I said I've only been playing for a week, and those are my initial observations, so yeah I'm probably judging to quickly.

I'm not against f2p at all, in fact this is the only reason why I'm giving this game a go. The fact that you can have an equal decks to those who paid, makes this game a whole lot fairer than those that give special stuff for paying customers.

It's just that, I'm hitting a wall where I want to improve my deck, but to do that I need to grind with the deck that I want to improve.

I guess I'm just impatient haha.

About the different types of game mode, I wasn't talking about campaign but drafting (construct own deck based on packs during match).

What decks you guys play? I'm currently running a lousy inferno decks. Been buying those reinforcement packs, but seldom get useful stuff for this deck. Perhaps time to try another hero?

yeah I restarted a new account because of this. old account not really that old though...

my first account i played inferno, managed to reach 500 elo before i stopped.

now im playing necro, i feel that this is harder. currently 600+ elo, but having hard times vs some decks especially haven. the problem im having now is i have no dispel (besides the one that dispels spells attached on enemy creatures, but no spells that can dispel global enchantment). some decks are just too good, i guess the guy spending $$$ or hes lucky to get good cards.

another issue i have with necro decks is the lack of aoe spells. i have tsunami, its too situational. other than that, i have one geyser (3 damage adjacent) and the one which damages 2 in a line. im saving for the dual box on offer (the one costing 1690). should be able to get it after 1 more level. hopefully after that i get to use better cards.

currently my play style is to go aggresive (early game). i tend to lose when the game goes late. should i be doing this? or should i make the deck more balanced (some small creatures, some big ones)?

another thing i noticed is that academy has some good creature abilities. evade is pretty good, phase is annoying, reflect range... and then the one where it deals damage to creatures played into the same row. oh and the one that can move your creature when it enters the battlefield (not sure this is academy or not).

ive tried inferno, would like to try necro this time around.

yeah probably my deck isn't strong enough. what is ur finisher? and how do u deal with global enchantment?

i see im doing it all wrong then. under 500 elo it was ok. but 600+ im finding it tough. what bout the hero. currently im using the stock necro hero (seria). should i change it?

on another note LOL just realised theres a hero named siham... oh my.

looking at my spells i dont have soul reaver or shadow image. i dont really have a good card pool yet.

maybe i should try another hero. i currently have jezziel, seria, acamas and kat. any of these good?

kat? yeah i have that. i've tried to build a deck around her, having same issues also, not enough good cards.

yeah we're in the same situation. rush seems to work 50% of the time. the other 50% are just stomps though.

hoping when i buy the dual box on offer will get some good cards.

wah u spend real money also having hard time -.-
i'm trying not to spend anything.. yet. guess need to take it slow.

quiet few days? anyone still playing?

i finally settled on a yukiko deck. kinda fun to play moving opponents creatures around. although my elo is still stuck at 500-600 mark.

grinding for gold is very slow...

i haven't used any boosters yet.. not really confident with my deck. still lots of missing cards. kinda hit and miss.

currently doing ok.. almost 800 elo. should I break the 1k mark, or just play it safe and stay under?

ah i see thanks for the info. i thought once you went up a tier there's no turning back.

Anyone care to help me with my deck? currently stuck at 700ish elo. I don't have many cards to work with, so this is the best Yukiko deck I could come up with.

http://mmdoc.net/show_deck/19018/

It's a midrange aggro deck, using outmanouver to get hits on hero/kill creatures in combination with spells.

I just got song of the lost, and happen to have one ice splinters, so i also put that combo in.

Some fortune cards for tutoring, to get the song + ice combo and also to find board answers.

The weakness is, it can be weak early if I don't get the right cards. I've drawn in my hand like 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 3 cost cards a few times.

I think the boardwipe isn't strong enough, not sure what other cards are available for this.

Also I don't have any way to dispel spells. Was thinking of adding the creature which returns target spell to oppo hand, but don't have that yet.

I can only use song of the lost once, since I don't have a way to get it back from graveyard.

So I'm thinking what I probably need is:

1. A way to dispel spells
2. Better boardwipes
3. Recurring song of the lost
4. Better opening hands, by having lower cost stuff.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

hey thanks for you response.

yeah i agree hypnotize isn't that useful in this deck.

ice wall been kinda useful, it stalls for one more turn early game. but late game it isn't that useful yeah. grounded have been useful vs necro and haven decks which have alot of fliers.

agree with battle trance, its good when you already have alot of resources, and you want to look for answers, but it can set you back early game.

my fav card in this is deck is underwater fortress. its basically a free tutor card, provided you already have same creature in play.

yeah that's the thing, my sanctuary cards are limited. i also have a jezziel and seria deck, but they are also not that good. missing alot of important cards. plus i've had most fun playing this deck than the other 2. do u think it's worth it spending wildcards to get those missing cards like sayama spy, stalker, raya?

i'm saving for the forgotten wars box, probably can get it in 2 months time lol.

btw how is your yukiko deck doing? any deck list?

Worth it to get 5T box? There are some good cards, but alot of crappy cards as well.

Not sure which box to get now. I've got almost 1.4k seals saved up now with the free 200 given out today.

I personally prefer hearthstone because of the arena. I hope doc will have something like it (draft).

My problem with doc has always been the lack of cards to compete in higher levels of elo/tourneys. with arena/draft you have a level playing field, where only skills and luck matter.

Same reason i only play draft in mtg, making a good deck is too expensive.
