WHAT

I didn't know at all about that expac or any of the cards haha they are amazing. I don't like constructed and I mostly play arena in this game but I'm probably going to make a constructed deck with 100% random cards now

There's a semi popular deck that's pretty based on randomness already actually, made and played by the same guy in the video elaborating on the possibilities.

https://i.imgur.com/anANEeX.png

He just goes full hog trying to make it work https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... PaJK1mpipy Got like a million videos on it.

But now with this expansion you're probably going to be seeing random-based decks a lot more haha. Somebody on reddit pointed out that with the expansion being called Goblins vs gnomes, the gnomes have random effects and the goblins don't.

And I can't wait to see what changes to Randuin Wrynn Nox is going to make with this expansion.

And yeah Blizzard held off on announcing this for a while, we knew about Naxxramas much much in advance but it seems like they held off on this one. Perhaps for Blizzcon where all of this was announced? Either way I quite like not having to wait too long for the cards.

I'm the exact opposite tho to where I might be playing a lot more arena once these get put into the game. It'll be a while before I can get all of them, and arena is nice for being able to possibly play cards you don't have.

Yeah I know Noxious (my favorite video of his) but his randuin deck is a lot more fun to watch than to play I feel. With this expansion there's so many more possibilities though

I went into arena and did well for the first time ever, 7 wins. But I barely feel like I did well at all because the card pack was schlock ;; At least I got enough money to get back in I guess...

Before this I was honestly going 0/3 or 1/3. And I completely blame getting a priest for the first time since I know them so well as a class at this point and the draft was pretty damn good.

I've been watching Trump's iDraft to improve my arena runs.

It hasn't worked.

Also, the Mech Expansion seems super neat and I'll probably get back into this game when it releases.

I like his Idrafts but honestly it's more like a "pick Trump's favorite cards" than anything. There's some times where I'd personally pick a different card but I'm picking what I think trump will pick for the sake of the video. Like, zombie chow is his waifu so if there's a zombie chow you can pretty much always be sure he'll pick it (even though I don't think it's that good). There's some cards he heavily undervalues I think, like spellbender

Also good job Bwarch 7 wins is pretty good and even more if you don't play it much. I was honesly avoiding picking priest before naxx but post naxx he is a lot stronger (mainly because of the dark cultist)

Thank you! It's only like my fourth arena run so ye, really lucky.

Dark Cultist is a freaking powerhouse it's kind of insane, even if you can't get his death rattle off it's still pretty good.

Aaaaaand then everybody gets a Dark Cultist mimic because of the expansion haha

Spider Tank there is going to be a neutral from what I hear.

Also also, I have to share an amazing moment that happened in the arena run. A warrior played a light warden and I had a cabal shadow priest in my hand god bless you sir for picking a terrible, terrible card for me to use.

Yes, Trump super overvalues Chow, which loses value when you have tempo (or more generally after turn 4/5).

Still, he tends to do much better than I ever do in Arena, so he must have something of value to teach me. My arena runs tend to end at 5 wins (my highest may have been 6).

I know I know it's a terrible draft and that's why but gods, the alternatives were much worse... I just wanna die when a patriarch shows up in a draft

Side note but it's kinda annoying how Hearthstone streamers care so much about Twitch and so little about Youtube. I literally can't watch archived streams dammit. Watching live? TOTES FINE MOST OF THE TIME, watching an archived stream? Oh noooo, sorry sir, can't do that, stars ain't aligned for that shiz.

There really are quite a few cards coming in the expansion that will make or break the game that turn I feel. I'm down to clown with that.

So let me lay this one on you.

Mage vs Druid.

Mage plays Piloted Sky Golem,
http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/wp-c ... golem1.png

druid is getting wrecked in this match. Mage has a secret, it's an iceblock. Druid kills the golem, it summons an Auchenai Soul Priest. Druid has Tree of life in hand. http://wow.zamimg.com/images/hearthston ... f-life.jpg

It's a tournament, druid goes for the draw instead of taking a loss. They don't even have time to try and pop the secret, they're going to lose in a turn. They drop down tree of life and then watch in horror as the ice block is popped.

GvG is available via Arena. One free pass for all players. Lots of junk players so its a good time for us mediocre folk to pass the early rounds and get some decent loot (I finally surpassed 5 wins for the first time ever, so yeah).

Also, new cards are pretty cool. Madder Bomber totally screwed me over though.

WELL

The mage has the soul priest so tree of life played by the druid would still heal

Maybe I don't get it???

I tried getting back into the game again. Started from scratch (no, not because I totally forgot my password and used an email account I don't use anymore what are you even talking about) so I left it up to the mech cards I'd get to see what class I'd main. RNGod decided that Shaman was my destiny and that's what I'm going for.

If you play shrinkmeister on a snow chugger and kill it that turn, whatever kills it won't get frozen. Maybe this is something that should be obvious but I accidentally did it just now and was like, wait, what, why didn't my guy get frozen? Oh. Oh. No damage was actually dealt, so the effect didn't go.

Was playing with one of my best buddies who started playing some time before I did (on my original account) and we decided to duel even though he really wrecks my shit in terms of cards. So here's the result:
