I tried installing Hearthstone on my tablet through the Amazon app a few times, but it was never available. Does anyone know why? I'd like to take advantage of that promotion for classic packs but afaik you need it installed through the app for that to work.

What tablet do you have? Can also set up an emulator on your PC. I've never done the emulator tho but others here have

What's a good/fast TB deck this week? I'm at a bit of a loss. I find this TB really clunky and slow. I've only played 3 games, but meh. Is this week just bad for farming gold via TB? Seems like it.

Unstable Portal minions don't get the deathrattle, interesting.
I had a lot of fun with murloc shaman, add in forked lightnings, lightning storms, flame tongues, an unbound elemental, double bloodlusts and double hexes. Skip the shaman specific murloc and neptulon, just the neutrals. Can use hungry crabs too if you have them. Raiders if you don't have crabs.

It's an android samsung tablet, but from what I can tell the problem is that Amazon isn't actually offering the Hearthstone app for download currently.

I played a double combo druid list, but i cut druids of the claw for belcher since claw doesnt get the deathrattle, cut something else for double ancient of war, and had double mind control tech as well.

Might be better off with just a single copy of force but double roar since it's easy to keep minions on the board in this brawl.

Seems like other people were having that problem over the past week. IDK I already had it DL'ed through the appstore from before, it updates fine.

Just about every class is good for this brawl because your deck should be centered around a few concepts:

lots of deathrattles
lots of minions
minions with inflated mana costs to balance their battle cry
minions 1 cost or less spawn nothing, 2 only spawn target dummy(kinda useful) or wisp

Take a look through your cards, a lot of neutrals fit those requirements perfectly. Bomb lobber, kodo, sludge belcher, sea giant(death rattle summons a 6 even if played at reduced cost), lil exorcist, argus, mct, knife juggler, are all great for this brawl, and there's easily more. Druid works best though because it can ramp past an awkward mana curve and it has the best spells for buffing hordes of minions.

LOL... are they running out of ideas? Wonder if there will be 9 of these types of cards.

One for each class would be pretty pointless as a neutral card for a few classes. Like, who would want a random Rogue card? Not even Rogues want that.

Also who the fuck runs Kezan Mystic and Flamestrike in Tempo Mage? Fucking retards.

Why the fuck are non-golden commons even an option for an arena award greater than 2 wins?

Kezan Mystic is standard in Tempo Mage. It works great in the mirror match and helps against hunters. Also it's not uncommon to use it to steal back your own secrets.

Flamestrike is a tech card for Tempo Mage. I've played with and without it. After experimentation I much prefer to have it. It's such a clutch card that can flat out win you games when your opponent doesn't respect Flamestrike. I've had many games where my opponent just vomits out everything they've got and I Flamestrike it all away and go on to win.

Kezan Mystic is not a standard card for tempo mage. It is at best a tech card, and not a very good one. And running two tech cards at once (mystic + flamestrike) is dumb as hell.

I've been putting mystic in basically all my non-control decks since they came out just because I really love the effect it brings. It's "good enough" and fun.

Oh for fucksake. Did they really have to make the ENTIRE expansion random? Jesus. I bet they add one for every class, and do the same thing with Silver Hand Regent except with the other hero abilities. Luls. Imagine 9 epic slots being taken up by those cards haha. That is depressing as shit to think about though so I am going to pray it's not true.

It's atrocious. You can get a regular common at 5 wins even.

For real. It's really annoying

I've made peace with the whole random thing, and have adopted a new paradigm for thinking about cards. I hate that word but I think it fits.

So under my new way of thinking, Nexus Champion Saraad is the chase legendary of the set. Random doesn't matter, all that matters is that he (potentially) continually gives you extra resources to work with. Grand Crusader would be great if it wasn't yet another 6 drop. Stop making all the 6 drops fight each other. How about giving us some more 4 drops? Make us actually think about replacing Piloted Shredder with something. Master Jouster seems playable because the type of deck you'd run him in seems likely to win most of your jousts, but he's also a 6 drop.

The meta design of Hearthstone is a fucking trainwreck.

Yeah I've been playing it all day. I think the deck is trash and he's just been getting lucky draws. Conventional echo or ErA control are both better and more consistent.
