Mech Rogue is getting me turn 5/6/7 wins in arena right now. With not ideal cards. It feels very much like Backspace Rogue used to, with that inevitable rush of damage. Weapon Oil is painful, if you have a board it is like Fireball, except you get to do it again next turn if they don't have an answer.

This is going to be a very strong deck in constructed I think.

Rogue needs something playable because I'm pretty sure miracle is dead for good.

I just lost a match to a druid who played blingtron, hit me in the face past a taunt with ogre warmaul twice, then time rewound it back to his hand and played it again to get a gorehowl.

I don't think Recombobulator is as good as we were thinking. If you are forced to use it on anything less than 4 cost, you are probably gonna end up unhappy. There are a LOT of really crappy minions out there.

I saw a pretty funny play on Amaz's stream earlier.

- Other guy has bunch of guys, including a knife juggler
- He also has mirror image secret
- Amaz plays explosive sheep
- It gets copied
- Knife juggler shoots sheep
- Both blow up and clear board.

Its pretty amazing how one run in the arena with GvG cards has pretty much sealed Hearthstones fate with me. This shit has gotten just stupid. Too many new cards too fast. Add in the fact that trying to stay competitive in constructed as a free2play player has also had the door shut on me when I can't grind games having a job and all that.

You are the first person I ever heard say that about Hearthstone, and I suspect you will be the only person I ever hear say that about Hearthstone. As for the rest, no reasonable person has a realistic expectation that they will be able to stay competitive in a CCG while investing neither time nor money.

*edit*

There are cheap competitive ladder decks. If you don't want to play those, you really don't have any room at all to complain.

So glad I saved up 2 Golden Flares and 6 regular. I *knew* it would be nerfed eventually. Thanks 2400 dust. Shame about Aucitoneer though.

Anyone get to test Arcane Nullifier in Arena? I'm thinking it will be really great. Got 2 in this free draft, but haven't started yet.

well seems like the skill in arena is at an all-time low. At 3-0 currently. Seems like all 3 opponents so far just drafted every single GvG card they could because their decks were god-awful and they were rushing their turns like they couldn't wait to plop down the next new card. Such easy wins so far.

I managed my first board clear using explosive sheep. Enemy warrior had 6 minions out, I made them all 2 health then, as Druid, I Wrath'd my own sheep which I played from hand. Full clear np.

The fact he had 6 minions with 2-3 health on board by turn 5 though.. overextended much?

I actually didn't get presented with many GvG cards at all, but I got the mech yeti and 2x antique heal bots and a couple others. Otherwise I am mostly a ramp druid lol.
How did Antique Heal Bot fare for you? Seems like it could be quite good in arena and in ramp, to delay till you can get your baddies out. Seems like quite a bit of value for arena. Yeah I imagine the skill level is really low right now with everyone using free arenas.

I quite like Tinkertown Technician, it's so easy to have a mech out with this expansion and a 4/4 for 3 mana with a Spare Part is pretty glorious. Just won me a game against a Mage because it was out of Frostbolt range and it allowed me to check his secrets with the Spare Part.

Not sure if mentioned, but I just got a Malorne off of a Webspinner. Had lethal so didn't get to play, I was actually just killing the Webspinner for the hell of it.

Yea the Antique Heal bot was doing well for me, but my luck in arena has quickly ended.
First run is the 1 you quoted, went 5-3 there, was Druid with 0 Swipes only 1 Wrath and 1 Explosive sheep for board clear.
Then had a 4-3 as Paladin without any Equality+Consecrate.
After those 2 I was trying Shaman, thought I had a decent draft both times but went 1-3 & 1-3. Sad.

Just started another Druid run with 3x Swipes, hopefully can do better lol.


The cards I've been getting fucked over with A LOT has been that minion that deals random 4 dmg to enemy minion, and also fucking Mind Control... 2 different Priests Mind Control my Force Tank MAX... fuck.

Hah hah ya i just started playing Huntard in constructed last night and got the Beast, Maaexxna, and that 5/4 ostrich bird thing from webspinners. Was it always like that? Seems like a great way to get legendaries into your deck.

I mean, I just found it interesting that they have the new beast cards in the pool ahead of the patch. But yeah, I've gotten plenty of King Krushes and Mukla's. Mukla is one of the most annoying things to get from it actually IMO.

just saw the reddit post about it. I guess it's going to be 100% hunters in constructed until monday.
