Ok so far Dark Peddler beats everything except for Mind Blast. I can't imagine what would beat that.

Murloc Tidecaller is pretty fun. Tried with lock and hunter. Both have their pluses and minuses.

Uninstalled today. I've had enough. See you bros when the expansion drops - assuming that they slow the game down and reduce the bullshit RNG.

99 paladin wins away from golden all the heroes.
Just started a dragondin deck and its going much better than the zooadin deck. Also, do not understand the reconnect feature in this game at all. Had a guy bug the board out on me w/ antonidas + spell, whether it was intentional or not; but I could tell right away something was wrong, so I close hs and reopen immediately and it doesn't attempt to reconnect. Was completely wrecking the guy, so, so frustrating.

Paladin - Deckbuilder - HearthPwn
The deck is somewhere around 8-2. Ran into a lot of aggro/dragon warriors and it performs really well against them. Only 1 shaman so far so not exactly sure how it fairs, but the one I did, I made a big misplay, he got a 25% spell power totem twice on aoe turns to keep himself alive and it still wasn't even close, felt great.

Shadowverse confirmed better than Hearthstone by the man himself.

Come join us in the sun.

Pros of Shadowverse so far:

  • Way way less RNG
  • RNG that is there appears to be self-limiting, i.e. discard random lowest-cost card
  • Boobs
  • Still a lot of deck archtypes
  • Runs way the fuck better on mobile than HS ever did
  • Their version of arena, take-two, guaranteed to always play 5 games (reward is just based on how many you win), and I think you can pick whatever class you like every time
  • Super easy to tap through card descriptions and see what shit does in-game
  • There's smallish nukes/AoE spells that can deal with zerg that are neutral cards, just incase fairies ever get out of hand or something I guess

Cons:
  • Lotta people don't like the art
  • You can really feel like you're missing even common cards when you're doing PvP
  • You ARE missing common cards when you PvP, get wrecked
  • The deck building interface is definitely not better than mobile HS (everything is tiny!)
  • It is a new IP soooo no emotion or nostalgia tied to it I guess
  • Still very very tempo driven in my experience (at least compared to Magic), but control seems to have some solid answers for punishing.

They've got a PC version coming this year they claim, but who knows. It's not ideal playing on my phone for sure, but I find it a lot deeper than HS is.

Combat is the same as HS (mostly), but minions are all basically -1/-1 stats for the same mana cost. 2 mana at best gets you a 2/2, anything more than that has a pretty hefty drawback, etc. Board clears are far more common and in general better (twisting nether only costs 6). Their mechanic for going first vs second also feels a lot less skewed towards going first, so you tend to be able to make a huge tempo swing on turn 4-5 or so if you're behind early and second player.

My god is it weeby though.

Not that I don't understand being unhappy with hearthstone, but how about you guys start a 'things to play other than hearthstone' thread.

I feel like it's been 2 years since I convinced myself this isn't a real game. Pretty surprised Reynad is still getting that salty about shit that's been in the game for a long fucking time.
