It IS F2P, and as such it isnt out of touch. If you NEED every card (twice, in gold!) then you have a long road or can invest some money to shorten it. F2P isnt a charity they are a company that still aims to earn money with their product. Be glad they are allowing people free rides for everything the product has to offer, instead of putting up "from here on, you pay or quit" signs after the first month.

what is "the math"?
Getting cards from packs is RNG. what math did they use? And then yeah, how is that math applied to arena win/loss rates?

Okay WTF. This player DEFINITELY purposely bugged the game to have an infinite turn. He was such a tryhard with this infinite combo mage deck and had NO cards left and NO possible way to win as you can see in this screenshot. Spent ages trying to figure out their last turn, Arcane Intellect'd to 0 etc, and then just sat there. I did some emotes and they returned them and are now just sitting there going on 10+ mins. Stubborn fucking asshole. This isn't like when the game bugs out and they can't end the turn and they are too stubborn to just leave because they are unsure who would have won. There's 0 chance this guy could win, even with an Iceblock and Spellbinder, he's dead no matter what. Pisses me off, is a fucking ranked win THAT BIG OF A DEAL? How did they fucking bug the game like that?
Luckily I have shit to do and this was my last game and I'll be gone for 24+ hours and I'm even more fucking stubborn than a sore loser and I can actually go AFK and STILL win whenever they decide to come back and swap turns. Fucking dumbshit.

It probably wasn't intentional, it is a known bug that the game freezes with ice barrier/block? (the one that you can't be killed that turn) and fatigue. He has an auctioneer on the board so he probably went to play a spell, the game forced him to draw a card and it froze. I would say he probably could have killed you, but then I noticed your minions had taunt.

Well he made emotes after the last spell he played and after attacking with the Auctioneer and realizing he was helpless. So whether he forced the freeze or not, he is there and he is too stubborn to leave despite it being 100% impossible for him to win. Ice Block wasn't triggered yet. He realized if he killed my Abom, it'd do 2dmg to him and trigger block and I'd still attack with weapon, or I'd attack with weapon, trigger Ice Block and then he'd die from fatigue. So fucking annoying. He was fine after playing Intellect and drawing his last card, his last move was to attack with the Auctioneer and then spend ages looking through his hand and then he did those few emotes. So annoying that he won't leave when it's guaranteed I've won. Fucking sore punk ass loser. Went through his entire deck for a tryhard combo, couldn't pull it off and is now butthurt.
Played a warrior vs warrior match last night. We had practically the same deck and it was hilarious to watch it play out. We ended up both running out of cards at the same time and he had something like 20hp+6 armor and I had 15hp+8 armor.
I still had a 1/1 boar on the field so I ended up winning due to that and the card fatigue by 1 round. It was fucking hilarious.

Then its clearly pay 2 win and there is not a lot of fun to be had with that.
Care to link a card list?
Also, if anyone wants to play, Xaldren#1414. If the tournament is on Friday, I won't be able to make it, so feel free to test your decks out on me.
I haven't actually used her yet, even though I've had her in hand twice. I've always had lethal without it. Replace her with another Doomsayer and you'd probably be fine. Though she does deal with Warriors well in my experience with similar decks, because it incorrectly removes armor (supposed to only change health to 15). On the ladder is pretty ridiculous, the only thing that "counters" it are charge decks, OTK decks, and hyper aggro decks that get very good hands while you get a very bad one.... I say "counters" because Ice Barrier/Ice Block make your health uncertain for OTKs and they are all turn 7+ set ups to pull off, which is where you have a huge toolbox.
Maybe replace thalnos and one ice barrier with sunfury protectors. Giving a pair of giants taunt would stop OTK decks in an instant and would be effectively the same as 8 health against minion rush decks.
Hunter OTK all run Owls to deal with taunts, the armor from Ice Barrier is more valuable. I am considering replacing the one Flamestrike with another Doomsayer.
you could also replace the Mountain Giants with Sea Giants, giving the current meta it is much more likely that you get one of them out on the field on turn 5/6 easily unless you have wiped their board of course
The mountain giants usually do come out on turn 4/5/6. Basically you don't even play cards the first 3-4 turns, unless they are Loot Hoarders, Novice Engineers, or Arcane Intellect. You just let your hand stack up. There are exceptions, of course, depends on the board. But you actually want to let them get you down into the 10-15 health range. 10 being the ideal (Molten Giants are now free to cast) and then you play Ice Barriers, Blizzard, Cone of Cold, Doomsayer, etc., to keep their board either clear or frozen. That is kind of the brilliance of the deck, it is anti-aggro because the aggro gets you down to a place you actually want to be and then you can pretty much stop it cold. It is kind of weird to have 10 cards in hand on turn 4 though.
Also finding that I use Alexstraza to heal myself more often then I use it to damage enemies, except vs Priests and Warriors (healing and armor, respectively). With all the 8/8s flying around they are usually already below 15 by turn 9.

Maybe they have more than one card to play and are considering what you're gonna do next turn and what's more beneficial for them to play first? If I have only one thing to play I'll play fast but if I have multiple stuff and you have shit on the board I'll generally take 30ish seconds at least to weight my options, figure which cards I should drop this turn and what I'll drop next turn and what you can use on your turn to kill what I dropped etc.
