Hearthstone

When I looked through my account history, I spent more than i thought I did on the game. But most of my purchases were made back in Beta when card packs were worth a lot more. It was a great time to buy packs back when Blizzard was constantly nerfing cards. At one point I had like 15 Blood Imps because everyone knew it was going to get nerfed. Sure enough it was and I disenchanted all those extras for full cost. That's just one example.

Since then, I've spent real money on both Adventure Modes. I don't regret Blackrock Mountain but you don't need it to be competitive today. There's a handful of good cards and it did introduce a couple of meta warping decks into the mix. But compared to Naxx it was a much weaker Adventure Mode. I also spent some money on GvG when it was new. But other than that I haven't felt the need to spend money on the game. In fact I'm in gold savings mode right now. While I might be missing some cards, I'm not missing anything vital. I'm up to 2,500 Gold so that translates into 25 new packs if a new expansion was dropped today.

At any rate, you're not a hero for sticking with a completely F2P model. If you can't afford to buy some packs or adventure modes I get that and completely understand. But I have no problem throwing Blizzard some cash since I get enjoyment out of the game.

So far, $40 in classic, $40 in GvG, both of the adventure packs were bought with gold, and I'm just missing Ysera , Vol'jin, and Al'Alkir for competitive legendaries.

Then again I've done every single daily quest since beta, so there is that. Also back in the first couple of seasons there were a bunch of more competitive cheap decks that don't really preform as well anymore. Tempo Rogue, Cheap Shaman, Basic Mage/Priest.

Edit: Also the only nerf Patron really could use is for them to revert Warsong Commander back to how it only applied to creatured played from the hand instead of any creature summoned. Even with that change it would still be a pretty good deck as a board full of patrons is still hard to deal with and it can still combo you out with the Frothing Bezerker.

I've put $310 into the game. Just checked.

Feels bad man.

Do Druid's suck atm or is it just me?

I was climbing just fine with midrange druid a couple days ago since Druid is one of my 2 classes that isn't 60 yet.

I'll try to make a more mid-rangey list. I was trying a more heavy top end with rag and ancients of war and it just wasn't working at all lol. Win 2 lose 2 all day

I find Druid to be one of the more annoying classes to play but it isn't all garbage. I tend to find (some) success with a stop-and-go combo deck.

Survive early pressure, get some draw, rely on combo and hope Emp shows up in a timely manner. Most of what I use is actually based on counters for whatever is popular in terms of lasting to the combo phase and honestly, I can't help but feeling that it's just easier to do so with other classes/decks.

EVERYONE is playing MalyLock at Dreamhack it seems.

Druid handles the aggro hunter quite well. Which gives him an A+ in my books.

Taunt heavy ramp druidmaybe, the more popular midrange/comboy druids get blown up by face hunters pretty easily.

12 to 20 seems extreme

Had a interesting fight just now freeze vs tempo mage. He's got a full board including a waker. I do standard doomsayer nova combo. To my surprise he plays his other waker. Then frostbolts the sayer, doesn't kill it with waker procs, then pings his own clockwork gnome, and then plays its spare part to proc waker twice. Probably wouldn't have thought of that ever.

Wow Niko missing Lethal twice , one round after another. It might be the Derpiest round of Hearthstone I've ever watched.

It's crazy how Blizzard has managed to create a game where people feel fine spending hundreds, as some of you have. I guess that just shows how good of a job they did at making it addictive. I have only spent $40 to learn Arena and I have every important card in the game and like 8000 dust to spare. Arena pays off man. I have 2100 Arena wins and 1100 Normal wins. And yet even though I've actively tried to get every class to level 60 (in so much as I will pick a class I don't have at level 60 in Arena if I can, at least most of the times) and still the only level 60's I have are: Mage, Druid, Rogue, Paladin. Shaman is the closest after that at 52, and Hunter/Priest the lowest at 41.

It's like every F2P model. You can play a shit ton , and barely spend a dime, or be casual and spend money.

Not something Blizzard came up with, that is just the market.

F2P survives because the casuals grossly outnumber the hard core.

What happens if you drop Kezan Mystic while you already have the same trap active as the one you would steal from your opponent?

EDIT: I knew I should have just googled, but I love talking to you dickheads so much! It gets destroyed, which I assumed.
