Re: Hearthstone

Yeah. I'm happy to play against anybody, but it's very easy to find yourself playing against someone from another rung on the ladder. Particularly, Aldin, when you're new. After your feet are wet and your decks are a little better, I bet you'll feel more evenly matched against more of your opponents.

I thought you played fine, and your deck was fine. If I hadn't been holding that one card, there's a good chance you would have won. If you're having fun, stick with it. Any time you want a rematch against my Druid, who is a work in progress, let me know. Or, I guess, any of the other 8.

Re: Hearthstone

Sweet, I was thinking a while ago about making a thread for this to see if there were any other HStoners around. I've been playing this for almost a couple years now and enjoy it maybe a lot more than I should.

~Aldin, who lost to an amazing Druid combo last night that did, I think, 22 damage in a single turn - the other player said "I'm Sorry" three times as they were setting it up (used a series of cards to get three little ents and buff 'em to 6/6 while making the hero output at least 4)
Ha, yeah the designers have all but explicitly stated that they're going to nerf that Druid combo in a couple weeks. Until then you can expect it from most Druids you come against.

And I feel like all players go through a rough streak towards the beginning of play. At least, my friend and I both did. Once you start picking up better cards that match your play style things should go up in no time. (Though, let's be honest, I still have awful days... and weeks...)

I'm waiting for the nerf to Inner Strength.

Re: Hearthstone

Okay, @Heroscaper Guy hooked me up with a link to an improved basic Mage deck list. I went from 2-12 with the starter deck to 3-1 with the new one. What a difference!

Re: Hearthstone

Great!

Maybe that'll be the last deck you download from the internet, though. :/

It's only the basic cards, not really anything special imo. But to each his own. I didn't give him any other advice aside from that (I offered though).

Re: Hearthstone

You're right, of course. To each his own. And I've read a couple strategy articles; my hands are not clean.

I just hate playing against e-decks. I remember the first time I played against a Rogue Coldlight Oracle deck, and I thought "Oh, cool! This guy is so clever, with his Brewmasters and Vanishes and making me draw cards!" And then I played against one exactly like it every day for the next two weeks. It was annoying.

edit: Naxxramas being gone for good reminds me, I still have to get in there & do them on hard mode. I got mauled last time I tried, though.

The thing with a large playerbase (and this applies to mtg, and Heroscape, and pretty much anything), is they will find the op stuff a lot quicker than you by yourself, and then you have to deal with them playing it. Now, this means that they get more time to practice against and with it, rather than searching for it on their own. I respect people's opinion, but I would rather practice with it, then to flail around on my own.

Re: Hearthstone

Oh, I'm a big fan of flailing, and finding my own way. For me, the exploration is a significant part of the enjoyment of the game.

I figure I'm not going to spend the time and/or money to get to the very top, so I'll enjoy myself by wandering in the forest.

Re: Hearthstone

I feel very comfortable with dustless basic decklists. For me, they feel like the "proper" learning decks. Once I start crafting beyond that, I like to do my own thing. It is funny how different the game gets at a certain level though. I watched one of HSG's games and only recognized maybe a third of the cards being used

Yeah, I figured you'd probably like the exploring like I do, Aldin.

Unfortunately, that will not be the last time you see that combo.

Also, if you own Naxx now, you will be able to play it forever. You just won't be able to buy it if you don't own it now.
