Or.... Wild Growth into Keeper to auto kill your 2 drop then druid, or innervate ancient of lore. Still better than hunter though.

It's almost as if having "millions of possible choices/builds" is meaningless if one of those choices/builds is better than all the others.

You would've thought Blizzard would have learned that lesson after Diablo II or Vanilla WoW.

What a surprise, Jane's still a bitch in every appearance.

Hearthstone has technically only been out 6 months (not counting beta) and had one very small expansion. Other CCGs (there is no trading in HS so it's not at TCG) tend to get card big expansions every 3 months. With Magic tending to run a 9 month cycle and an annual refresh on the "Core" cards.

:Actually likes Hearthstone:

HS is a terrible TCG with a skill ceiling so low that it makes Progress Quest look like chess. It's not even charming in its simplicity, it's just stupid. Hell, there are better porn TCGs out there written in Flash. Play Infinity Wars or something.

Streaming... an online... card game... Why...?

That's a reason why I didn't launch it even once after I installed it. I don't even know, why I installed it... Is like 5-10 from youtube's legendary rank guy is enough for me to get from this game everything it can offer.

There is a lot of phone that could be had... but in the end it turned into another Magic The Gather build. Mostly PvP (new quarters did add some fun though, you can get new cards from it, but you still can't earn any gold from it.) with cash for win and copy deck method to ensure win.

I can't even get past rank 19. lol
It's clearly pay to win (or grind a lot of daily quests, which you get only one per day).

Fortunately, HS doesn't have a market or auction house for cards. That only aggravates the problem, along the mentioned changes each expansion. I left Magic for this exact reason (and the constant bleeding of money) and only saved my favoutite deck for some isolated casual play.

No surprise here. Tabletop TCGs are the same in competitive level. Until the next expansion/block where cards that completely change the meta are released and hardgamers (which seems that are everyone on a certain level or higher in HS) are "forced" to revamp their entire decks.

Haha, tryhard Jane every time

Hearthstone is too simplistic to allow for interesting gameplay. I mostly blame the deck size, but class system is not the brightest idea either.

[url=#user_comment_351159]@MangoMaster4[/url] But there's by design a lot of random variance, and you'll be more likely to encounter each of the classes.

@Bartholomew Sponge: Arena is almost stricter than constructed in terms of what to expect from it

And that's why you only play Arena if you want to have repitition-free fun in Hearthstone ;-)

And that's why Magic 2014 is my bae. <3

"If you fight a Druid expect a turn 4 Swipe followed by a turn 5 Druid of the Claw (in Bear Form) and either a Ancient of War or Ancient of Lore at turn 7"

No Jo, hearthstone isn't a hard game, but that's an overgeneralization.

> Every fucking time.
riot pls fix meta
