Checking my emails casually last night when I saw a lovely little email from Blizzard containing my very own Hearthstone key, I stared at it for a moment wondering if it was legit before going right ahead and adding it to my BNet account and discovering it was. I sat there Taeja clapping as it installed, hyped to shit to get a chance to play after wanting to since watching guys like TB and Day9 play.

So I loaded up the game, rocketed through the tutorial missions and started to unlock each class (fuck that Paladin deck though) and even though I suck terribly at the game for the moment I'm having a bloody fantastic time with it. I've won a few casual games and 1 ranked game so far and got my ass handed to me in the arena which was fantastic. It's not an overly complicated game to pick up, okay so deck building is a skill that needs learning but it's a thing that applies to all card games.

Whoever thought this up at Blizzard is a genius and I'm glad they went ahead and made it into a full game, outside of MtG there aren't really that many great card games you can play online and the fact that you don't need to use real money to buy packs if you wish is great also, seeing as I'm very much casualling this game, I don't really feel like spending a small fortune that I don't have on cards I'm perfectly okay with slowly earning my packs through winning games and learning each class and finding the perfect one for me then building my perfect deck and see how it goes. Hearthstone is about to become my substitute for Yugioh, build a deck I love and win or lose, have a shit ton of fun along the way with it and maybe annoy the shit out of others with it at the same time.

That said, those card games won't play themselves, time to spend countless hours learning the ins and outs of another class today!

Welcome to the fold!

My one problem with HS, and I guess it's intentional, is that card decks are extremely tedious to construct without paying money. It takes a while just to get five cards. And crafting the arcane dust from your shitcards to better cards takes a long time as well.

And you quickly realize that your deck and everyone else's deck at your level are almost identical except for a very few class cards. And you don't have enough class cards to be really defining from one class to another.

It just feels like any deck you'd make with any hero with the cards you get all feel basically the same. I look at the cards and see what I COULD be doing, but it's sad that I can't do any of those things and it will be a long time before I can.

I'm willing to pay money, but it just doesn't seem worth it. The packs are completely random and you can't trade with other people for the cards you want. When you break a card down into dust, you receive only a small fraction of the dust required to actually craft a card you want. So it's not like you can just open 5-10 packs and get started with the kind of deck you want.

I do really enjoy the game though and I'll be playing it until I get too annoyed with the above to continue.
