1 - Truesilver at 1, he played his second one and swung at me.


By this you are saying he had1 charge left on his truesilver but rather than use it he played a second and swung with it, yes?

Because there is a hypothetical scenario where that is correct.

Suppose its turn 9 and your correct usage of cards uses 5 mana from your hand, floating 4. It also requires you swing with a truesilver charge. Conveniently you also have a 10 mana play for next turn and would not be able to fit a re equip next turn.

So you opt to use the remaining 4 on truesilver which would give you a fresh 2 charge truesilver so in addition to your 10 mana play you have a weapon available to swing.

BUT you are playing against a deck that you feel might contain a Harrison Jones AND you have other weapons available to play on turn 11+ so the lost charge is not integral to your win% SO you re equip truesilver first and swing with that thus still giving you an available swing next turn but also playing around Harrison so your opponent would lose a draw.

.

Im not saying that's what happened, that was just a thought exercise to consider a situation where it is correct to use your weapon charges sub optimally.

Hand vacuum method wasn't working


I had no idea what this was, but it was used in context as though it were obvious.

Thankfully google had my back:

3. Create a vacuum
This method will create a vacuum that may draw the water out.

-Tilt your head sideways, and rest your ear onto your cupped palm, creating a tight seal.

-Gently push your hand back and forth toward your ear in a rapid motion, flattening it as you push and cupping it as you pull away.

-Tilt your head down to allow the water to drain.

Giants have continued to show flashes of brilliance amongst streaks of mediocrity.

We sweep the division leaders to pull within a couple games of first? Follow it with a 4 game skid. Follow that with some more ho hum games and then have a 13 run game against the cards followed by an 11 inning victory against the cubs. With a good week they could still be right on the heels of the division lead ( currently tied for 3rd at 3.5 games out).

I just don't know how to feel from week to week about their chances.

For whatever reason, Holy Water really gets me tilted. I feel like it's not even a card that's too good, but every time I see it in arena I feel cheated somehow. Can't really put my finger on it, but I hate it.

Do you all have any cards like this?


I have 3 holy water in my current arena deck which is 5-1 atm. Its pretty stupidly good when it hits the right targets.

I could have drafted 4 more copies but it would have been at the expense of much better cards.

Also consider running 1 stormwind champion to top out your curve. Hes a bad card to play when you are losing but he can swing a contested board in a close game and he can remove doubt in situations where you are ahead.

But it was just so darn shallow it was hard to even enjoy things like decorating my farm, because I knew I wouldn't be playing for much longer.


You can keep playing if you want. The game does not self destruct after evaluation.

I would disagree about it being a shallow game as well. The characters all have a lot of (for lack of a better word) character to them. I could describe Leah and George and Lewis in more detail and with more nuance than characters from any of the HMs I've played.

The yearly festivals stack up, the progression of farming and skills is incredibly satisfying. Honestly i can't say enough good things about this game. And the recent edition of multiplayer is profound as to the amount of new life added to a game ive already played to death.

Speaking of which @Zigzagoon @Silver_Ermine we gotta start playing again. I miss our farm :(

My wife leaves tomorrow for 3 weeks so im about to have all of the spare time for games for the rest of July.

And Belt would be on the team easily if he hadn't missed some games already this season. As it stands he still has a shot to make the final vote.

Unless you are often mitigating multiple taunts at once i would just run 2 copies of ironbeak owl to serve the same function sure they will be able to run their high health silenced minion into a guy next turn but that's probably the same guy you would have run into the 12/4 taunt anyways so at least he did his damage to face first.

You can find the bnet IDs of numerous b8ers who play.

I'll attempt to add people after an interesting game. It doesn't matter if I wont or loss, if it was an interesting situation I'll add them to say gg and talk about what we just experienced.

But 95% of the time it gets ignored, which is fine.

But then of that 95% it feels like half the time they will have just ignored the request without denying it, and then the accept it a week or two later and ask me why I added them, and at that point I have no idea because the moment is past.

It has been a mostly fruitless endeavor, but I persist. The few people who do accept are typically very pleased by the fact that I don't tell them to get cancer and die. Instead I try to say something positive and wish them luck in the rest of their games. I have a couple of randomly added friends who will conversate with me from time to time.

.

Also, there was 1 magical night where I played five, yes FIVE, "play with a friend for 80g" games IN A ROW.'

Someone hit me up for their quest game, and as soon as the game started someone else did.

And then someone else did when that game started.

And then again... and again.

I played 5 games and made over 400 gold (because I finished some other quest during the friendly matches as well).

There was at least 1 Board 8 user in there, but most were just random adds who happened to need someone for the quest and there I was. It was spectacular.

Eh i was wondering if it had more to do with my playing on a phone that's only just qualified to run hearthstone. I was wondering if anyone on a more qualified device could confirm if this happens to them.

It isn't an issue in normal games because opponents don't have mana to play 15+ cards but in the brawl they can.

This doesn't happen on pc so i think it has to do with my phone running the animations more slowly. Idk.

I'm pretty sure I've reached the peak of my current deck (managed to barely make rank 6 last month. For a short period of time) so I should probably figure out what I can make and make it.

Or potentially just figure out how to be good at the game. That may be it too.
