Have you laddered with it at all?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #901 on:** April 30, 2015, 01:03:41 PM »

I'll give it a go once the ladder resets. No point in tryharding a day or two before the reset.

Also, I reeeeeeeeally wish I had Sylvanas. She'd work perfectly in this deck.

Played Mech Mage against Atramedes today. Had Antonidas in my opening hand, played Unstable Portal turn 2, got Alarm-o-bot, played it for 0. No other minions in hand, Antonidas out turn 3. He didn't stand a chance. Best play I've had in a long time.

Also, Nefarian 2 is actually kinda difficult. I might have to build a custom deck for him even on normal.

This can be said of every deck that isn't heavily aggressive.

I have a terrible confession to make.

I kept losing to stupid decks like lightwell priests around ranks 19-20 after the reset. So, I did something I swore I would never do. I... I made a face hunter deck.

I'm so sorry. I don't know if you all can forgive me. A strange sensation is washing over me...

I feel... ICKY!

Oh no. It has begun. Run! PUT THIS APPLE ON YOUR HEAD! Run while you still can! I can't... control it. TASTE MY STEEL!

FLEE!!!

ME HIT FACE

Face hunter is good for the game. I am completely serious about this.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #906 on:** May 01, 2015, 09:36:19 PM »

Face hunter wasn't quite doing it. I think the meta has shifted to fight back now.

Going back to my deathrattle paladin, this is what I have after multiple games and some tweaks:

While I am still stuck around rank 19-20, it's definitely got some potential. Obvious addition of Sylvanas aside, what would you all swap in/out to improve it?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #907 on:** May 02, 2015, 08:24:02 AM »

With so many Volcanic Drakes and Solemn Vigils, I am surprised not to see any Musters.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #908 on:** May 02, 2015, 11:48:26 AM »

I decided to add those in after losing to decks with hyper aggressive early-games, along with chows and annoy-o-trons.

The mid-to-end game in this deck is fine, but it just gets run over if it can't build an early board.

HAHAHA. I just made a face hunter ragequit with double annoy-o-trons / redemptions. It was as satisfying as it sounds.

Hey, I am almost at 700 gold. Which adventure should I start/which cards should I work toward?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #910 on:** May 02, 2015, 03:33:20 PM »

I would either get 7 classic packs (there's a lot of useful commons that you should try to collect), or the second wing of Naxxramas, which provides you with Sludge Belcher and Loatheb.

Getting a good collection of basic cards first might help, because some of the NPC bosses can be tricky without them.

You can't just choose to take the second wing of an adventure, you have to unlock them in order.

I would suggest not getting packs, adventures are more important to unlock.

Chris · « **Reply #912 on:** May 02, 2015, 03:59:44 PM »

Buying packs at your stage is far more efficient. How long did it take you to collect that 700 gold? Now imagine that the next 2800 gold to unlock the rest of the wings are going to take much longer, because you've already finished the unique quests that you get when you start playing. Purchasing Naxx comes out to 3500 gold for 30 cards. Or you can spend that 3500 gold on 35 classic packs (or a mix of classic and GvG packs), which will net you 175 cards. Not all of these will be unique, but they'll give you a much stronger foundation on which to build. Plus, you can turn the repeats into crafting dust, which will let you create certain non-Naxx (or Blackrock) cards, which will let you put a decent deck together faster.

On another note, did people see minecraft millionare Etho playing hearthstone earlier?

Haha, just got Malygos in the first pack I bought! Good advice!

So, I made a silly deck for my 5 warlock wins quest:

Easiest 5 wins ever. This deck is absurd. My last game was the definition of value against a face hunter: http://i.imgur.com/zOrSRs6.jpg

tl;dr: you should be playing patron warrior right now.

browarod · « **Reply #918 on:** May 09, 2015, 12:42:29 AM »

I can attest that patron warrior is super effective. And it's actually pretty fun, too.

I say that on Friday and then proceed to lose every Ranked game I've used my Patron Warrior deck for since then, lol.

2/5 for a Warrior quest but just can't seem to get those last 3 wins, it's super frustrating.

Minion of Jesus · « **Reply #921 on:** May 10, 2015, 10:12:18 PM »

Played arena today, opponent had 8 health and 5 minions in play at the end of my turn, and I only had Ragnaros. Ragnaros sniped the enemy hero for the win. It was, needless to say, pretty awesome.

Master KChief · « **Reply #922 on:** May 10, 2015, 11:36:35 PM »

Glad to see Amaz made an account here.

Chris · « **Reply #923 on:** May 11, 2015, 12:05:36 AM »

I think Grim Patron Warriors are the best thing to ever happen to Hearthstone. They're a top-tier deck that require an immense amount of skill to use effectively. Hearthstone doesn't have nearly enough deck archetypes like that. Plus, it's relatively cheap in relation to other decks (not counting Adventures; but at this point, if you don't have Naxx and Blackrock, you're not going to be able to build any kind of competitive deck), so F2P (or other "cheap") players can use it, as opposed to other skill-based decks like Control Warrior that have an extremely high price of admission.

All decks (yes including face hunter) take skill to play effectively. Certain decks like like Grim Patron do have a higher skill floor, but just play at the lower ranks some time, and you'll see a lot of bad players play the decks that "don't require skill." Honestly you can often see a noticeable difference in how people at even rank 5 play these "mindless" decks and how people at legend play them.
