I would love to have an option for custom games where i can change HP of the Hero / Number of Cards etc. I don't enjoy rushing . Most fun i had when both played had to play most if not all of their cards , longer games. Rushing is kinda boring.

My experience post rank 5 has been that everyone has carbon copies of legendary decklists from well known streamers or personalities, so it becomes a super hard grind since the matchups are very close to 50/50.

It's interesting how the average rank is ~10. And also the lack of rank 25-21 shows that if anyone bothered to make an effort, it's super easy to past 20.

Yeah I managed to get to rank 2 but I refused to do the grind to legendary... once there are rewards for legendary I'll make the extra push to make it there.

I made a charge based direct damage deck for rogue where you always go for the face and dont worry about efficiency much and shadowstep was used. It really wasn't effective at like rank 6 or so (so its pretty bad, hunter equivalent better imo) but it gave really fast wins and losses if you ever needed to grind something.

Is anyone else having trouble consentrating for a hearthstone game? I keep doing other stuff on my opponents turn and then make missplays because I'm not focused. It's just that I can't do anything on their turn and they always take forever to make a play. Anyone else with this problem?

I tend to read while I play. I figure if my opponent is going slow enough to bore me then he can wait a few seconds at the start of my turn as I read the board.

i watch movies on my other screen. oftentimes i forget to click end turn (sorry!) and when its my turn, i have to check the action history to see what happens and oftentimes make mistakes because i am not paying attention closely. i pay closer attention when i care though (i.e., arena). i do think people delay their actions until the last minute to throw people off their game.

Anyone have a good legend priest netdeck? I can't find one

I'm tired of just playing druid and rogue.

Its a viable strategy to stall out time to make people lose focus. I'm sure people do it unintentionally because they are slow but it has happened before where I forgot that a secret existed because the guy took so long and I shifted my attention elsewhere.

Another thing to know is that you always think you take a short amount of time because when you are thinking, time ticks differently than when you are waiting. But yea, people are slow and if I'm taking my time because I alt tabbed because you are slow...deal with it. The endless cycle shall continue!

My first loss after 15 games... And it was to totemic might. My only 2 drop was a Defias bandit, and he coin totem'd on turn 1. Then he played a flametongue, and a totemic might, and all I had was a defias so I couldnt kill the totem, the turn after he totemic mighted again, and I just got owned because I could never deal with it. That was so funny.

dont you lose to murlock decks? i am literally 3-50 to them. tho that might change with my new deck...but still its rediculous 13/15 by turn 4 every single game

i made a rogue deck copied from the image posted in deck thread, just swapped out 1 di dwarf for yeti and 1 ass blade for gnome, since i had 2 games where i cudnt cast my dwarf/s, and 2 where i had 2 blades in hand -> 4 dumb losses. also i use a mix of 3s like ardent commander atm and rag instead of syl

BUT i climbed back from 17 to 12 in just ~2 hours!!

so thanks, lesson is: dont spend 3 days agonising and losing for countless hours on end because you dont know basic rule of constructed deck building :/

Has Blizzard said anything about implementing a disconnect protection ? I often DC for like, literally, 5 seconds and get a loss... Even if I return 10 sec later ...

Pretty sure at blizzcon they did say they were working on a way to allow you to reconnect to games.

It would be pretty stupid if you could easily look up people's decks, so I doubt it.

I'm fairly new into Hearthstone and have a question on crafting.

I'm assuming that it is a good idea to salvage useless cards...

So I opened a Counterspell Gold, which has 5 times the value of a regular one (100 dust vs 20 dust). Should I salvage it to craft other cards? I've never seen anyone play it so far (minimal experience though)
