I'm finding that I am doing very well in constructed, but not sure if it's worth it to grind from rank 3 (just got there on a 6-1 streak) to legendary if I don't have enough time. I'm not sure if they have set a date for it. They just said it was supposed to be last week but the ladder just didn't reset and they don't know why and are working on it and will let us know when they fix it. | ||

There are two high ranked shamans on the EU ladder, look for those guys. Saw them on sajvz or mirey's stream within the last two days. That's all i can remember T_T.

How the game seems to treat it is the original card despawns and spawns one of two different new cards, that are then played as minions. The minions on those cards have different stats, that are not tied to any buffs. | ||

I ONLY have 2/3 Harvest Golem out, opponent has 5/2 Sylvanas out. Enemy turn. He attacks my Harvest Golem, this kills both minions but he doesn't take the Damaged Golem. Is this intended? Does it matter who attacked that causes this? Obviously he thought it would take the Damaged Golem after but clearly it didn't. What if I attacked instead? Would it be the same result? Or does it have to do with him having Sylvanas out first in the board, so Sylvanas' deathrattle effect activated first before Harvest Golem's?

By the end of the week is what they are saying on the website http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/11040345121 "We believe that we have identified and addressed all of the issues that were preventing us from properly transitioning to Test Season 2. Some more testing still needs to be performed, but we are currently targeting to transition to Test Season 2 by the end of this week." | ||

I've been watching some streams and what not and often i find people play and/or not play cards based on believing the opponent has a sheep or hex in hand. Do most people consider this when they play their hand? I've found that unless you have 2 bombs in hand which would both get hexed but you prefer having one active then you may play the less important one first. However in most scenarios you have 1 viable option and really if you hold it thinking they have a hex you are simply delaying the effectiveness of that card? e.g. if you have a sylvanas in hand and you have a strong feeling it will get sheeped but its the most agressive play you can make, would you not play it anyway and hope they don't have a hex rather than save it assuming they have a hex? I would be interested to know what the rational is from some more experienced players. | ||

The player chooses between 2 attributes, whether it's given +5 attack or +5 health and taunt. Silencing it removes the chosen attribute, bringing it back to its base stats 5/5. Druid of the Claw is either a 4/6 with taunt or a 4/4 with charge. It's like the player is choosing between 2 entirely different cards. Silencing the 4/6 only removes the attribute(in the 4/6 one's case, the taunt)because the +2 health is NOT a buff but already included in the base health of the card. It is consistent but the text should be changed to "Choose one - 4/4 with charge or 4/6 with taunt." imo. | ||

I would be interested to know what the rational is from some more experienced players. Ideally, you try to "ramp" into your bigger units. Rather than throwing Sylvanas straight out, you play a boulderfist ogre or buff a already sizable body to try and force a removal because they would otherwise not be able to remove it. Sometimes, you just have to bet on them not having removal. If you think the cost of not playing Sylvanas (for example, you're being heavily pressured and feel the board is going to be out of your control soon), you just have to play her and hope you can maximize your benefit. With that said, Sylvanas is a card that people often use as the removal bait. You might play her before you put down a ragnoros for example. Unlike those big 8 mana minions, getting your 5 mana sylvanas removed like that isn't completely devastating. | ||

All the good ones you see, while ensuring you have sufficient 2-drops, a strong curve, and take full advantage of the available class cards. Numbers vary. If your draft starts with four Shattered Sun Clerics, you're going to want to drive your curve way down. If it starts with four Shieldmastas, the exact opposite may be true. And finally, be prepared that sometimes you're going to be thrown really shitty pools. Just play with them as best you can. | ||

Normally I play aggro rogue or warlock in constructed so I understand how an aggro deck curve should look, but I don't quite get the 'Trump style' peaking at 4 curve. Can someone explain that curve? | ||
