I just opened a Tree of Life, and it made me quite angry.

That card is a game winner if you time it correctly. The opponent has thrown just about everything they have at you, you're almost dead.... nope. back to 30 hp.

Its also very situation, unreliable, expensive, and doesn't impact the board.  In general it will not be worth a card slot.

On a side note, I'm never unhappy to open an epic, even if its terrible, because worst case, you got 100 dust.

I don't know much about the dust situation yet, I just could tell I would never use the card.

Basically you can trade a card for one of lower rarity. This can stock pile.
AKA, DE an epic for 100 dust and you can craft a rare for 100 dust. Or disenchant 16 epics for 1600 dust and craft a Legendary.

Very very good part of the game. Once you get a moderate collection and just need 1-2 cards it makes it very easy to get.

Tree of Life is 100% worth it in the right deck. Most Druids that would use aren't overly viable right now, but that doesn't mean that can't change quickly. I saw quite a few people using it while I laddered to Legend last season.

jb for a mill deck there's a couple cards to consider
Dancing swords, death lord, king mauluaka ( the banana dude) + brew master
the first two cards allow you stall out the game and give you deck advantage.   Maulaka and brew master help on the milling side.  you may also want to consider a mind control deck becuase you deck is more defensive in nature

I've been playing a lot of Hearthstone since I stopped playing Redemption.

I've never actually seen a Tree of Life played, though. Is it more of a Mill card?

Tree of Life is a fatigue/mill card, yes. Very rarely played.

So, I pulled a Neptulon today. He's actually quite good.

He's really really good.  He's included in a lot of midrange/control shaman decks.

2x Kezan Mystic seems excessive. How many secrets do you really encounter?

Mage and Hunter are both top 4 at the very least in popularity atm (and I suspect it will be higher today, as today is the last day of the season, so a lot of people will be desperately pushing for legend with the "OP cancer aggro decks) and every hunter runs traps, and a good portion of the mages run secrets.

I'd still only run one kezan, but I can see why you would run 2.

I pretty much only play constructed to complete quests - I suppose secrets are much more common there than in arena.

Regardless, I have always found rage quitting the best response to Mech Mage.

If you're not doing anything this afternoon, Hearthstone Open is having an Arena tournament that starts at 2pm EST today.

Got a 12 win arena today



I'm honestly perplexed that this one went 12 wins, it doesn't seem to have much that really makes you go wow.  Didn't lose a game until 10 wins though.  Rewards were a bunch of gold.

I look at that deck and all I can think is holy wow Batman that's a lot of 2 drops. Gratz on 12 wins! :D

I've never gotten past 7 myself....

I'm starting to feel like arena should just be build the best Zoo deck you can.

You have to have a closing plan too. You can only zoo for so long in Arena.

Honestly can someone tell me what is good about that deck?  Because I was the one who piloted it to 12 wins and I don't get it.  It honestly looks like an average to below average arena deck to me.

Honestly, I think it's the spread that you had. You had a lot of 2 drops, yes, but you also had stuff for late game (that Sea Giant, the Flamestrike) that allowed you to keep up with your momentum. At least, that's what I think. Nothing stands out like a huge "MVP," but I think it was the balance that kept you going.

Grats on a 12 win, by the way! :D

You played a mage, that's why you got 12 wins.

I'm actually in general pretty bad with mage in arena (I only had 1 12 win mage before this), but just being mage doesn't explain why this draft went 12, and the draft I did a couple before it that had 2 skillstrikes, 2 frostbolts, 2 fireballs and 2 polymorphs only went 8.

How often did you SCIENCE!!! Duplicate? I feel like that opening could make a big difference in the game, especially if you end up duplicating one of your sweet 4 drops.
