Hi everyone, just picked up the game a couple days back. Been very good casual entertainment so far, trying to level all the chars to level 10 while slipping in some Play games against players.

1 week newbie and climbing with basic deck. Is there MMR in Tavern Brawl? Because the opponents I find there have incredible cards.

Wow. The wall in Ranked at Rank 20 is incredible.

I went from 25 to 20 with some well matched games. So far in Rank 20, it's been 8 straight games in Ranked where the opponents are packing multiple legendaries and epics. My basic deck didn't stand a chance. Is the card wall really that huge from 20 to 19?

Tried rushing Face Hunter but didn't get board control early. A couple of opposing low mana epics and early board clear did me in. Perhaps it's just a bad match up for me.

Switched to normal Play for the time being and the match ups felt better.

Been playing for 3 weeks, still new to the game. Averaging 3 ranked games a day.
Managed to unexpectedly hit Rank 15 today playing Tempo Mage, so pretty happy about the progress.

Nat? I see dust!

Americas.
Been playing Hearthstone for 2 months now.

GJ! I'm playing Bloodlust Evo Shaman this season.
I rarely play Ranked, just register for the cardbacks. Played about 10 games over the weekend, went from 20 to 16 so it's pretty good luck so far. I only don't want to see any zoolocks, hate matching up against those.

I usually get Rank 15 then play troll decks in Ranked for fun. Got 15 yesterday. And also it helps other players for free wins haha.

I'm gonna go Greedy Priest deck tonight.

Fair.
From an individual perspective, you do indeed lose more than you gain. But this is evened out by the odds being stacked in your favour that you will win : Your friend is pure F2P and has never experienced the constructed meta at differing ranks. In fact, with the odds being so in your favour, I might even say you hold an advantage here. I think an even Rank expectation for him would be around Rank 2-3?


My opinion on why aggro decks are so popular is because they are cheap (Dust wise). F2P players can throw together a Tier 1 deck and immediately feel the surge in power, as opposed to getting smacked around because they do not have the cards.

To hit legend you will need to satisfy 3 factors :

1. A proper deck and the skill to pilot it. Basic deck to legend is so 2014.
2. A proper understanding of the game. Knowing how to tech against different setups at different ranks, they can have their own mini metas. Also knowing how to navigate your opponent's deck and secrets. This includes baiting out removal and boardclears before playing your win condition.
3. Time. You aren't getting to Legend by playing only 100 games a month.

I'm on a streak with Jade Druid.
Those Golems.

I'd like to try Pirate Warrior but did not get the required cards for it. I got Aya and White Eyes when opening packs, together with most of the jade Golem cards. So Blizzard decided my deck for me.

That is correct.
If you do not have Ragnaros, I would suggest crafting the golden version. So you'll get 3200 dust and keep the golden version.

I got Valeera DK as my free card.
Would very much have preferred Guldan.

Tried spoofing to the coordinates but somehow scans tell me it cannot find a gathering nearby.

On Unifi, and frequently getting disconnects in hearthstone.
