Hey can we get away from all the 'petulant children yelling at each other' stuff and just, you know, talk about Hearthstone?

I also wouldn't reroll the "3 victories" 40g quest. It's just too flexible.
Got into this game recently, been mostly playing Arena. Doing ok-ish so far. Really enjoying what I've played. Haven't bought any packs yet due to there not being any tournaments or rewarded organized play systems. Lookin for some arena buddys to chat with: Mugaaz#1777

FINALLY got Pally again in arena (after 4 straight Druid/Mage/Hunter choices! and about 10 other arena runs w/o Pally) and got 12 wins. Didn't get a screenshot but here are the notables:
1x Blessing of Wisdom
1x Humility
3x Argent Protector
4x Jungle Panther (somehow this was always up against crap... good card though, just have to be really careful against AOE)
1x Peacekeeper
3x Truesilver
1x Hammer
1x Consecrate
1x Blessing of Kings
1x Stormwind Champion
and a bunch of other mid range neutrals
I had one hilarious match where turn 2 I played a recruit and opponent coined a raging worgen. Turn 3 I put blessing of wisdom on the worgen (hoping he couldn't resist enraging it), summoned another recruit and he put blessing of might on the worgen, enraged it (giving me 2 cards), and taunted up. I put humility on it and he proceeded to just keep attacking with it until I ended up burning a couple cards. Ended up completely destroying him shortly after... blessing of wisdom can be so fun. I admit I was a little worried when he cast might; luckily, humility saved me.
Overall, truesilvers (of course) and humility/peacekeeper were the mvps.

Man, what a disgusting hunter deck I managed to draft. Interesting to see how far it will go considering I usually do pretty bad with Hunter.
Managed rank 2 on the weekend but legend would need quite a few games still. It's pretty brutal advancing from rank 4 onward. Probably playing mostly arena during next season for a change of pace.

I hate you all.
But thanks for confirming.
I don't think Hammer of Wrath is really that great of a card for Paladin. Paladin is all about board domination, not card advantage. Hammer of wrath costs too much mana for the effect. When you play Truesilver you kill one of their dudes, next turn you kill another one of their dudes...for 0 mana AND this allows you to play another creature. You're now ahead by 2 card on the board. This is where Paladin wants to be at. Hammer of Wrath is by no means bad, but people treat it like it's Fireball for Paladins, no way.

3 might be excessive but 2 is reasonable. I probably took the 3rd due to no other good choices. I believe I was offered it 4x actually...
The card advantage is good, the direct removal is good, and I actually won 2 games by doing a Hammer of Wrath to the face.
It's a pretty good card imo. It's almost like frostbolt except it draws instead of freezes. Freeze is probably considered superior but card advantage cant be overlooked.
The 3 games I lost were primarily due to never drawing my equality and/or consecrates... ever. I was down to 9 cards left in 1 game and still had 2 equality and 2 consecrate and the opponent had a board over-extended just itching to get wiped. Oh well!

I disagree. I'm never happy to be playing hammer of Wrath before turn 7 or 8, except in the rare circumstance where I can kill of a 4 drop with a token + hammer, while still having a relevant creature on my side.

I also like it better in arena, might not help with tempo early game, but removing an opponent's card and gaining a card is rather advantageous in arena.
