I got 1 week of taxes and my only quick attack creatures are the pao's.

So, yeah...

To me that sounds like:
To beat that --> Switch Hero or switch to Fortunes instead of spells.

I'm noticing that ceiling. While I'm nowhere near it yet, it's pretty apparent that most of the best decks are some type of control deck. I just chose to go for a rush deck because Xiph was my second (and latest) hero. Since I stated inferno, rush is the only real option before I get some better cards. Hopefully after I get my second box my rush deck will be pretty decent.

I got my second box Now I have most of the cards needed for my Xiph rush deck. I'm almost at 1000 elo.

I'm wondering if I should spend my seals on five towers cards now. Or should I reach for the 10 xp boost achievement first? Also, I've been getting the small packs with my gold because they give the most card/gold (1000 gold per card). Hopefully, this way I'll get to the 1000 card achievement quickly.

I'm currently 5-7 in a jackpot tourney, so it looks like my deck is almost decent. At what elo do you start to get prizes in jackpot tourneys? Also, do they do any matchmaking in jackpots, or do they just match you up against the next person to queue? It seems like it's just a random person, cause they match you up so quickly. I'm wondering because I want to know if the matches will start getting tougher as I get higher up in rank.

And what are the prizes for swiss tourneys? I'm assuming they're a significant amount tougher than jackpot tourneys, so I probably won't try them for a while, but I am curious what the rewards are.

Finally, can you get heroes from regular packs? I only have two heroes so I don't know if there's any way to get them other than wildcards, heroic packs, and decks.

I just beat two control decks in a row. Feels good, I don't even have all the anti-control events that I need yet.

1000 elo, too. one more win to get the achievement

Does anyone know the chance of getting a wildcard out of a small pack?

Wuster what do you think is the general elo ceiling for non-Crag rush decks?

A very small chance! But more seriously, I saw in your other post that you are buying small packs with your gold but you shouldn't do that as they are not worth it at all. They can have duplicate (other packs don't) and you're not guaranteed to have 3 uncommon and 1 rare/epic cards like other packs. So you might end up with only common cards in your small pack. You shouldn't think about how much gold a single card cost per pack but more how many good cards you might get from them. The normal reinforcement packs only cost like 42 more gold per card but you are guaranteed to get 3 uncommon and 1 rare/epic, a lot better than the small packs.

Premium packs are supposed to have a better chance at an extra wild card. The main reason to buy them is for the achievements (unless you happen to like shiny's).

Also, for anyone with access of the game for the next 90 minutes here's 2 premium reinforcement packs + 10k gold

I'm at work, so kinda miffed that this promo is so short term, but what can you do.

Ugh, it's so annoying when I lose because of a card I didn't know existed, and then when I try to check what the card is, the match is already over and I can't see what card it is that killed me.

Is there a list of all the cards with quick attack/that give quick attack? I remember one time someone used a card that copied a minion that I just played, and then attacked with it like it had quick attack, even though the copied minion just appeared and the original minion hadn't gotten around to the next turn yet.

You totally can if your fresh :p.



That was Shadowclone.
It makes a copy which has quickattack for the turn you played shadowclone and instantly dies if damaged.

Also, the creatures that have "When X is played onto the battlefield or attacks, do Y" and have a bunch of heath are so strong.


I seem to be peaking at around ~1000 elo on my Xiph rush deck. I wonder if I should start planning my next deck soon. I'm still making blunders because of simple misplay/ignorance, but I think this deck will cap at maybe 1200 elo even if I get better at playing. Some of my mistakes are pretty obvious though, it's not just hindsight 20/20. But others are because there was some card i'd never seen or mechanic I didn't understand.

Another question: do swiss games give you regular gold and xp as well as chances to win packs?
