But I don't feel I am making my deck stronger. It sometimes feel all over the place. Do ppl have a general concept of what common cards to swap out when you get a rare? It's good to get a feel for that kind of thing for yourself. Try out the swap, play a few games, and every time you play the new card think about whether you'd have preferred the card you swapped out. | ||

In comparison with Fire Elemental, both have immediate hoard impact and leave a body on board. Fire Elemental does 3dmg which is worth 2 mana (Frostbolt, Wrath, Lightning Bolt, etc), while Argent Commander does 4dmg which is worth 3 mana (Shadow Bolt). Obviously this is ignoring the fact that Argent Commander can't get past taunts and won't lose divine shield if he goes for face. So basically I can see why people consider Fire Elemental effectively a 6/5 minion for 4mana, which sounds op, but wouldn't that make Argent Commander a 4/2 minion for 3? That doesn't sound too good x.x | ||

That doesn't sound too good x.x each card is worth about 3 mana if you go by arcane intellect. having to use 2 cards to do what 1 card does is not card efficient. If you want to look at mana cost, then argent will be worth a shadowbolt + a 4/2 + a card = 6 mana + a 4/2 fire elemental is op as fuck | ||

A 4/3 Argent Commander was just too good. The number of resources needed to deal with a 6-mana card that just destroyed one of your minions was too great. Also, class cards in general tend to be stronger than neutral cards. | ||

seriously though, you're totally right, but it just feels super bad when you use commander to finish off a weak 2-drop, and another 2-drop kills you. i guess that's what board sweeps are for | ||

When I play at home, I sometimes get disconnected from the wi-fi, probably needs a beter router. Anyway, usually, it's just a short disconnect that gets me back in the game in around 10-15 seconds. But right now, I got the disconnect message and saw the connection went down. It came back in a moment. Still the "disconnected from the game" message,but the connection is running, I can open a page in my browser and I am even re-connected to battle net in the client. Just not in game, even though everything works fine. I eventually DC. | ||

Yet in gameplay I always get this 2-3 second delay between actions like playing a card/attacking so often times I don't even get to attack with all of my minions if I use a lot of time to think. And why does timing out cancel an attack in animation? You can queue up actions while other animations are still happening. If you start doing this as soon as the rope comes out, you should never miss an action, except maybe if you're miracle rogue and you're going off with a gadgetzan. | ||
