Yalo that's why. But around when ah?

@johnny82: I'm sorry I asked them already, they ask me fly kite T.T..thanks for your offer to help!

Let's play guys

Add me up for fun.

volrath / Uxendra#6146 / The Americas / Paladin

Cheers!

I played 11 games yesterday. I won 9 out of 11 (thanks to new comers who tried to go ranked matches).

I didn't experience any lags nor DC from either side, though.

I didn't also know about Consecration does not do damage to stealth unit because, I didn't faced any but theoretically it should deal damage, I mean mages do that all the time.

Blizzard has it in the pipeline about allowing the players to reconnect upon disconnection. Like in Dota 2.

Oh yeah, I think I got the wrong meaning of his question.

Consecration will always deal damage but he was asking whether or not the stealth will breaks and vulnerable to attack.

Anyway, verx was it you who added me last night? There's a user called verx on my friend list.

Cool. We can catch few games together

Anyways, I need some input on safe cards to DE.

I'm scared to DE haha later regret.

I have analyzed all cards and found there are 32 cards which has no place in ranked matches (they're fun in fun decks and arena though).

What about you guys?

You know like for example, angry chicken...hungry crab, basically cards that are way TOO Dependant on scenario or other cards coz we all know, the meta shifts way too fast.

Shaman requires some math calculation due to overload costs. So you got to be prepared to live with locked mama crystals next turn.

Some people play spell power themed..buffing up his nukes..with taunt creatures to buy time.

Otherwise, you can synergize bloodlust for OTK (one turn kill) with windfury creatures. Charge + windfury is very, very scary.

And tbh, feral spirit is a must have to be decent.

@cyfong2020 gogogo dl

Anyways, to those who is starting out, do not use your free ticket to Arena just yet. Yeah, it's all fair and square, 100% card access. But in my humblest opinion, Arena play is somewhat very, very different than constructed, believe me.

Also, if you're looking at your dusts, (and refused to pay for the game) OR you want to quickly improvise your deck, and confused what to craft as your first few cards, I'd recommend to begin with MUST-HAVE neutral cards as a foundation so it goes well with another decks instead of class-specifics only.

Don't get too attached to the first deck you played with as this meta shifting in this game is too damn high at this stage.

Remember the holy trinity in this game:

1) Silence
2) Card Draw
3) Taunt

Craft cards around these to have the right synergy for your deck and of course, don't screw your mana curve.

Enjoy HS, boys!

I guess you're right.

Since an hour ago, I've been playing 10 games with my Paladin.

5 games with my Aggro Paladin = 2 wins 3 losses

5 games with my Control Paladin = 4 wins and 1 loss

My Paladin Aggro will always lose damage race

Murlocs are just mad...with variants of Bloodlust and Draw Power.

My control Paladin lost to a freaking Jaraxxus! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!


Btw, my worst ever booster loot...so sad...

My boss got dc-ed 3 times in ranked match in a row, client crashed ... he called me and 20/20 Divine+Taunt+Enrage+Windfury+Charge+Deathrattle on me...

...as if I work for Blizzard, Kanasai him lol.

Guys,

Need some feedbacks for this deck.

Purpose is to buff-rush (I'm bored with Hunter and no decent Warlock decks) Very risky against control decks, lacking Equality/Wild Pyromancer

Played about 9 games with this setup and sitting at 6-3 (lost to 2 Priests and a Giant Warlock)

Here's my decklist:



I have a question about trade efficiency (3rd turn) between:

1. Harvest Golem 2/3 DR: 2/1
2. Scarlet Crusader 3/1 DS
3. Wolf Rider 3/1 Charge
4. Hammer of Wrath 3 dmg and a card

As Paladin:

1. Harvest Golem - Summon and get killed and pinged (can trade with any 2 drops and a ping or 2 critters) 2-3 dmg or none.
2. Scarlet Crusader - Pretty much similar to Harvest Golem. trade for 2 and pings) 3 dmg or none.
3. Wolf Rider - In the face, guaranteed 3 dmg (unless taunted)
4. Hammer of Wrath - Guaranteed 3 dmg, targettable, and a card BUT at 4 mana (breaking the curve of my DoA/DID/BoK/TSC)

Hope to get some sifus' aid!

@BlizzardCraft: I hope the post above can somewhat answer your question

This 1 requires some math counts, percentage, probability and of course, self-experience.

Graphically, just look at the curve bar in the game, if it looks like mountain (low-high-low) it should be okay, there are castable stuff every turn. It's okay to have more 4mana cost cards than the rest because by turn 8 you can cast your power cards twice in a row, depending on your play style bah.

By experience, you will feel so stressed having cards in your hands but no resources/purpose to use (dead cards) if you always felt that way, means something is not synergized there.
(Having so much buffs but no creatures to apply it onto / So much heals but no damage to give against / so many creatures queuing for attack but no board clearers)

Common setups would be (Summon:Spell:Weapon) 20/8/2 , 23/7/0, 21/9 and 18/12 [Based on some videos and articles I've read/watched from top players]

Mana curve will define your deck progression.

Let's just assume, in totality the higher the mana cost of a card, as a single card, the better it is.

Heavy 1-3 mana : ensure board control during the first 5 turns.

Heavy 4-6 mana : most likely able to regain board control during 6th turn onwards.

Heavy 7 mana : you'd probably die in the first 5 turns.

So, most control decks will have their power punch cards on 4th turn onwards and when the opponent can't catch up the pace, they're most likely going to pancit.

Paladins can take beatings with miniatures until 4th turn for Consecration wipe the board, or wait till 5th turn for Wild Pyromancer+Equality kicks in.
Priests can take beatings and answer with Holy Nova.
Warlocks can answer most threats with Hellfire.
Mages can pew2 from as low as 1 to 2 to 3 to 7 .ok well they can wipe giants too with +spell power stacking.

While aggro decks will most likely set up for the kills before turn 7. My aggro deck I recently built is on 70.59% win rate in 17 games. I either manage to kill before 7th or I'd die trying.
The risk here is I will always lose against a Control deck if they get to live past turn 7. (Priests with hospital worth of heals, Mages with a giant air-cond and druids with so much fur!)


Lol imagine the catastrophe I didn't wrap the game 1 turn earlier.

I'd toss in WSC with Raiders too! More like 12 dmg in the face

Yo Verx I did it again. (last week was, Harrison Jones and Ysera back to back).

2 legendaries in 2 packs in a span of 1 minute (timestamp) haha.




Anyways, after a long thought, I decided to craft my first legendary..being Tinkmaster Spark over Sylvanas, Raggy and the rest.

Due to the reason of, I'd at least get a legendary that counters legendaries first.

Thinking of what to craft next...I'm leaning towards Thalnos..because it's such a powerful card, although arguably replaceable. To me, legendaries with Battle Cry/Deathrattle/End of turn worths more than others who aren't because we all know other legendaries tend to not live the turn it is casted anyways.

What you guys think? Leeroy also syok..Nat Pagle too..50% somewhat means 50% now, after going against so many of these.

Here's what I've got so far:

1) Ysera
2) Tirion Fordring
3) Mukla
4) Lord Jaraxxus
5) Lord Jaraxxus (Gold)
6) Mana Millhouse
7) Velen
8) Tinkmaster
9) Harrison Jones

I will be dusting the gold Jaraxxus so I can straightaway craft a Legend ((OR 4 epics)) Vanity/cosmetics in-game is never my cup of tea anyways.

Is it? Yea I have not owned Ragnaros. But most of the time that card gets squished at turn 8

I agree it's a removal magnet, but past Ragnaros...I don't have bigger threats liao -.-... Tirion is so easily crippled, Sylvanas I don't have yet.

If I were to craft Epics, I have 0 Pyroblast, 0 AoL/AoW also..but I never really maindecked mages and druids oh.

Also, to u..Ragnaros fits in all decks? I mean to aggro decks as well. Coz I see it as a control-oriented summon.

Thanks jian90 for the insight.

I believe I should too, craft Raggy.

Nat Pagle should fit any decks too I believe. I've seen warriors using that too, like u said... it's a removal magnet so enraged minions can definitely pack a punch as they only need to be alive in 1 turn before enraging to the face.

What are your takes on Sylvanas?

Yes it's a 5/5 beef despite the nerf, but normally even when I had opponents with her on the board, there are many ways to counter it. But on the other hand, it's also a board clearer as opponents tend to clear everything to not let her dominate a minion.

The best move I've seen around Sylvanas was from StrifeCo and his druid control.

Opponent had a Sylvanas on the board.

He had Ragnaros and 1 other minion.

What he did was, cast his own Sylvanas and ping starfall to his own and he got opponent's Sylvanas instead hahaha.

Haha nice! I've got 2 Faceless d...and just crafted Rag. Feels good mang!

Just came across this scenario just now, I wasn't sure if it was intended but probably not -.-

Me (Priest) VS Rogue ..a very long match.

Priest - 3 HP left
Minion - Light Warden (3/2 buffed)
Card in hand - Mind Control / Shadow Word:Death
Deck - 9 left

Rogue - 9 HP left
Minion - 1/1 Squirrel (tinked) and 3/1 Taz Dingo
Card in hand - 1
Deck - 0 (he took 2 fatigue damage already)

I was prepared for the final blow....then..he...



I face-palmed really hard.

Wow...I never got past 5 wins...god damn..with a priest some more you...

your arena skills are >9000

@.@

Congrats man!
