I got 7-3 a few times when I started playing the game, now I barely get 4-3. I don't get it. I actually feel arena is easier now, I played 2 arenas yesterday and got 10 and 7 wins with pretty bad drafts. many of my opponents made really bad plays (like rockbiter to my face on turn 1 with nothing to follow it) | ||

Anyone else interested in tracking number of rares/epics they get in each arena draft? TheYango posited it as a metric for how well the draft will do and so far it seems to be holding up for me. | ||

Yesterday I've finished a run with 8-3 (after going 4-2 against that double Grommash Hellscream warrior... I still can't believe it) and received an epic, rare and a foil. Today, I went 7-3 and got yet another epic, rare & foil. Coincidence or did you guys witness something similar? | ||

Today, I went 7-3 and got yet another epic, rare & foil. Coincidence or did you guys witness something similar? No. A pack is a pack, people just get superstitious. The arena run can influence the rarity of cards that are a reward for the arena, but not the one's in the pack. | ||

The problem is that even my druid deck which is pretty heavy on taunts, (Ancient Watcher, Sunfury Protector, Defender of Argus, Druid of the Claw, Tazdingo) can't deal with them, they get rid of all early stuff supposedly reliable like Harvest golems like if they were nothing and they never run out of steam thanks to Mortal Coil and beefier minions like Frostwolf Warlord, Dark Iron Dwarf, Argent Commander, Doomguard. They can also by passbigger taunts like Druid of the claw thanks to cheap stuff like Power Overwhelming, Soulfire or Ironbeak Owl. I can't offer to draw with Wrath and Ancient of Lore just comes way too late. So I would like some tips considering this situation as I thought a full taunt deck like this one should do decent but it's not the case. However all other aggro decks (Hunter, Paladin, Warrior, Rogue, Mage, murlocs) don't feel a threat at all and I have a decent winrate against other controls decks. Hardly a simple question to want to beat that deck. My experience with virtually all decks is you need the Warlock to blow his load too early and then land a money board wipe that cripples him, and this needs to happen before you fall below ~15 health or so. Druid has nothing until Starfall and even then 2 damage won't clear vs Zoo (Swipe is useless vs it), so I think it's an inevitably bad match-up. | ||

However all other aggro decks (Hunter, Paladin, Warrior, Rogue, Mage, murlocs) don't feel a threat at all and I have a decent winrate against other controls decks. It is not super easy, but personally I've had pretty good success against aggro decks by putting in: A Healing Touch (I hate the card, but have to admit it wins me games), an Earthenring Farseer, and 2 Wild Pyromancer. Wild pyromancer works with Swipe and Starfall to be board wipers, and can really help you out in a pinch. The best synergy IMO is Wild Pyromancer + Wrath for a sort of mini-Swipe. Aside from that I still have 2 Tazdingo, 2 Druid of the Claw, 2 Keeper of the Grove, and even a Stampeding Kodo and an Ancient of War. Another thing I do which I think really helps against aggro decks is keeping Druid of the Claw at the start instead of tossing it. I will pretty much always have a 4 mana play to slow them down, and Druid of the Claw is the play I want to make on turn 5 all the time, so I keep it. Dunno if that's standard, as people generally toss anything that costs more than 4 in their opening hand, so I thought I'd mention it. Good luck! But seriously, Wild Pyro + Wrath. I can't stress how good it feels to do this. "Do you like to play with fire?" Yes, yes I do. Let me know how it works for you. I'm also a fan of Wild Pyromancer in my Priest control deck, in combination with Holy Smite (3 mana Swipe), Power Word: Shield (in a pinch), and is just fun in general with Northshire Cleric, Acolyte of Pain, and Holy Nova or Circle of Healing. Though it hasn't worked out as well in that deck. On March 15 2014 09:03 Complete wrote: I can't alt tab anymore. Anybody else having issues? Yeah I've never had trouble until the release patch. I did find out that you can still minimize though by using ctrl + alt + del, right clicking the hearthstone program, and selecting minimize. Hope that helps! | ||

What? Aren't totems from your hero ability minions? Snipe only works on minion cards you play from your hand, so hero powers (paladin's and shaman's) and spells (like Animal Companion or Mirror Image) don't trigger it | ||
