That rogue deck is pretty hilarious, but he burns through cards really quick. There's also a the reliance on good draws, which can turn his deck against him.

On another note, the play option would be improved if it wasn't such a blind match. Something like showing random 5 or so cards before the game begins so you attempt to figure out the deck before it blindsides you like some decks sometimes do.

Been playing Blizzard games since WC2 & original Starcraft and haven't gotten into a single beta. Also played WoW for a better half of my life and bought every game they've made. Not a single beta chance... or any of my friends lol.

So back to the actual game....

Whats the rules on these people (streamers) getting so much $$ in donations for packs (lets take Sodapoppin as example). Do they get to keep all the cards they get from BETA when it goes live? Because doesn't that keep the balance of the game stupid? They will by the time of release have so many cards (Sodapoppin bought $200 of packs from donations within his first 3hours of play). The MMR will no doubt also be reset on release so wtf? Not sure if they are allowed to keep, but they would need refund on the $$ surely. I think would of been better if Blizzard just had like a blank way of buying packs to test that feature rather than actually letting beta testers buy packs.

Does look like the game might have legs though, i mean by the looks of it i'd spam play all the decks get them all unlocked and then i would play like 2-3 ladder games a day as i think i'd be pretty bored after that from the looks. However does look like there could be an easily manageable pro scene from this. I mean computer based card game is way easier to watch than a non computer card game, as looking at peoples cards in there hands becomes easier.

Following the wipe, players who made a purchase from the in-game store will receive a gold credit equivalent to their previous card pack and/or Arena purchases.

Some buried blue post. Basically they don't get refunded $$ it just all converts into gold. So lose everything get a large amount of gold.

During the course of the Hearthstone closed beta, card collections and game progress will be reset, and any cards participants acquired will be removed. Following the wipe, players who made a purchase from the in-game store will receive a gold credit equivalent to their previous card pack and/or Arena purchases. Also, as a thank you for testing out the in-game store during Hearthstone’s beta phase, everyone who purchased a card pack in the beta test will receive a Golden Legendary card.

Requiring a paid subscription or any sort of paid opt-in to a beta key or other Blizzard-related player promotions is not allowed (see the Battle.net EULA and/or Blizzard video policy). The use of Blizzard content must be limited to non-commercial purposes, unless noted as an exception in the above link to the Blizzard Video Policy. We are investigating reports of streamers requiring forms of payment to allow others to opt-in to beta key giveaways. Thank you.

Yeah but they will have to re open all the packs on live, which is better than having all the cards by live and having all the decks made. They might get stupidly unlucky and not get half the cards they had during the beta etc. Plus having to rebuild the decks again. They will be in the same position 1 week after live but atleast they wont be AT the same position on live.

Of course the game at the moment clearly looks pay2win but it also doesn't seem that far off not being Pay2Win. Like you just need to win in your MMR category and farm the gold and i believe enchanting is pretty good way of doing so and is there a trade to trade cards aswell? Im sure some sort of system like that will be implemented (or should xD)
