wish I recorded the sequence but looking for some strategy advice for a sequence that occurred in Arena
I ended up losing to a Mage that played 2 Pyroblasts in a row winning with 4 health left
before the Mage played the first Pyroblast, I think I had 3 creatures in the board and I think the Mage board was clear
I think I had 2 Spellbreakers in my hand along with 1 to 2 other cards. if I played a Spellbreaker before the Mage played the first Pyroblast, I would have won because the Mage was at 4 HP when he won with the second Pyroblast.
however, I didn't play the Spellbreaker because I was playing around Flamestrike
if my HP is in range to be Pyroblasted or something like 2x Fireball or 1x Frostbolt + Fireball 2 turns in a row, should I have just kept trying to put on pressure with more creatures instead of playing around Flamestrike?
I guess risking a card that could win me the game the next turn is worth the risk of Flamestrike becoming massive value for the opponent? not sure if being results oriented
my character class was Rogue if that matters
I'd say you did the right thing.
Flamestrike is one card. One basic card, mind you. Pyroblast is an epic. Sometimes, you can get a draft with NO epics at all. Having multiple pyroblasts is generally unlikely in arena. As for the other combos, well. Again, Flamestrike is one card. Fireball Frostbolt Icelance x2 is 4 cards they need in hand.
Sometimes that happens. Such is Hearthstone, really.

I'm pretty new to the game. How to make the best of grinding? Should I just play arena only after a certain level?
|
I've been sitting here for a while now trying to work out why my noble sacrifice didn't go off and I'm certain his blessing of wisdom glitches it. When he attacked the blessing triggered as normal and then he splattered my demolisher while noble sacrifice sat back and watched. I did check it was a noble sacrifice, will try to reproduce and report back later.

Personally I recommend playing constructed for a while until you get the hang of it. At the beginning I think you'll have fun learning all the cards, and the ins and outs of the different classes. You can also do the quests you receive as well as the other quests that give you free gold/packs for beginners. Once you've hit a point where you feel frustrated in constructed playing against people you think you're better than but who have better cards than you, I recommend moving to Arena. Before this I wouldn't spend any of your gold on packs, so once you do move on to arena you have a good chunk to start out with.

Just do your quest to beat every PC on expert twice, after that do some constructed until you are comfortable with 3-4 classes. When you are comfy with 4 classes, read into some arena drafting guides and start racking them packs in

also check out trump's basic decks to start off in constructed with. no purchase necessary and it'll allow you to get a feel for the game. the best way to get cards is technically arena, but starting off constructed is probably easier for a few days so you can learn the game.

Anyone run King Mukla in any decks? Opened him and would like to make use of my first legendary... XD
|
it can be used in some aggro decks. the problem is that aggro is being handled by a lot of the druid control decks and the like. although it would likely work in some variation of the FOTM hunter deck going around.

Wait, twice? You can do that quest two times?
I just so happened to beat all the expert AIs today for the gold. At one point the AI played Equality and then silenced one of my minions, restoring its original health, then suicided three 1/1 minions into it without killing it.

you can't do that quest twice. he's probably just recommending learning your cards better before jumping into casual. I'd say go for it, casual is a clusterfuck anyway. once you know the system and how cards interact/what different classes can play on different turns, then i'd look towards arena.

I don't even recommend starting in casual anymore. Unless you're at the very start of the season, rank 25 is more likely to have newbies than casual.
|
As a complete newbie myself, I find casual having far better decks than ranked. I'm rank 17 by now and the guys I meet are mostly pretty easy. On casual, though, they throw legendaries and whatnot at me and just win with those alone, which is pretty frustrating since I don't have that many cards yet. So I stick to ranked, as counterintuitive as it seems.

I'm really digging the new style of committing suicide in leu of conceding. It feels like a form of sepuku that gives me and the person I'm playing against honor.
Also I just got my first legendary (deathwing) and I'm putting him in every single one of my decks to much fun and happyness. Just drop the dragon and stand up

Was finially able to get legendary today, yay! Hopefully this next season I'll have more time to play and not have to rush during the final week. I'd like to thank whoever programmed Nat Pagle's RNG for having him not draw a single card in 3 games, then draw 5 in a row on the final game.

i got the legendary Harrison Jones and despite it being a shitty card, i put it in my decks instead of an ooze just so i can play it. i have only played it once and it was when i had only 2 cards left to draw, i think he played a Gorehowl or something. despite it being a bad idea, i did it anyways and took like 10 damage. it felt good to finally play the card though. =D

Ten damage means you took four fatigues. Would have to be a Doomhammer to take that much damage.

that may have been it. i just remember watching all the fatigues and laughing. it ended up not mattering anyways, since he died soon after.

I definitely prefer commiting Sudoku, Suzuki style rather than conceding. Really gives you that man feeling.
Is the adjusted dust rate going to change on the 30th, or did they say January 30th was the last possible day? Meaning they change on the 31st

"The plan right now is revert the increased disenchant value of the cards listed above on Thursday, January 30th, PST. We will be implementing the revert live, so we don't anticipate that any downtime will be needed. If you plan on taking advantage of the increased disenchant value of these cards, it is highly recommended that you do so before January 30th."
