Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: A Lack of Synergy

(+) Yeah! (+)

Never have I been happier to hear that phrase in Arena.

Just lost a 2-2 Arena run against a Priest who had Velen, Anduin, and Deathwing. How did that guy manage to lose twice? The rest of his deck was silly too.

high variance arena meta

Or maybe he wasn't that good.
---

Yeah, okay. I've had enough. You're back on ignore.
---

Finally got Priest to Lvl 60 tonight.



I really hate a few classes.
---

Yeah Ulti picks really stupid hills to die on because I guarantee nobody in this topic agrees with him.

how could anyone

he is making an absolute statement that is obviously false

you should see mine. for the longest time I had several classes that didn't even have all of their basic cards unlocked. I think there's still a few that are basically hovering at very low levels since I never play them.
---

I've never, ever liked how rogues play. I'm surprised it's even that high.

Most of it is probably from arena. Where every time I draft one I leave it saying I'm never going to draft one again.
---

My really low one is warrior. More recent aggro decks notwithstanding, I've never really gotten warriors. Other classes I've at least dabbled with some. Apparently rogue is the only class I've ever been really dedicated to, although that's funny because the only two decks I've really played are not the mainstream "oh god I hate rogues" type decks. (Well, unless you hate mill, but I haven't played that recently.)

Anyway, pretty sure Priest and Rogue are by far my lowest which is funny cause I like both and Hunter is my highest and I hate playing Hunter

Like it took me a while for a good Rogue deck cause I dislike the Miracle style a bit (I like Maly but uh). Priest was just me taking a while to afford priest cards
---

For the longest time my priest was at 19.

And then I got Tyrande and now I actually play priest. Screw Anduin.
---

My lowest is for sure Warrior. I don't think I've played Warrior on ladder since open beta when I was playing a Worgen wombo deck. Let's check.

Priest - 60
Mage - 60
Paladin - 51
Hunter - 45
Shaman - 45
Warlock - 43
Druid - 41
Rogue - 38
Warrior - 36

Surprised it's that close, honestly.
---

I still had Shaman really low, I think single digits until recently when I got the Thrall DK as my free hero

even then I used it for like 5-10 games and then disenchanted it
---

The majority of my warrior levels came from c'thun warrior, which still might be my favorite deck even if it sucks now.
---

i have all my classes at 60 except warrior which is at 53

golden hunter and priest

Okay, I usually laugh off rng, haha Avenging Wrath all went face not a big deal, the game was still fun and I like a good "Shit did that really happen?" moment... but there is one instance of it that is driving me nuts right now to the point of keeping track of it. I've got a text file on my desktop for it.

Lich King. Motherfucking Lich King. In my last 34 triggers, 25 of them have been Army of the Dead. I hate that card. Hate is not a strong enough word, really. I got it twice in a row just now and conceded a game I probably would have won in sheer exasperation. I'm pretty much at the point where I'm going to disenchant Lich King just so I never have to see Army of the Dead taking up a spot in my hand again. Just removing it from my decks is not enough. Salt is not the correct mineral to describe how this situation makes me feel. Ulti is not the correct username to describe the rant it makes me want to go on.

I don't even know how to end this post.

Today every rogue ive lost to has either had Prince on 2 or game changing random cards from swashburgler. When I say game changing. I mean getting Lyra. Or this one rogue who got Dragon Fire to clear a board I had. Like if he doesn't get dragonfire I for sure win that game because even with his insane luck I almost won. Like in the same game he got a thought steal that stole both Mind Blast and shadow reaper. (Like I was about 22 cards in without drawing it).
---

Playing a Lightfused Stegadon when you have six recruits on board is a good feeling.
---

If you click on the gift tab on the battle.net client, you'll get a free pack!

Also the champion pick packs are finally available.
---

You can apparently gift people packs now as well. Was this a feature in high demand?

Three packs including the gift pack, got a Cryostasis and 14 cards worth of minimal dust.
---

does anyone know if The Voraxx works with Unwilling Sacrifice?

I know I've tried casting "negative" spells on him before and it didn't create a clone and cast the spell on the clone

this one I'm not sure about
---

yeah Siphon Soul was the one that didn't work for me before
---

In general, Voraxx is kinda like Cult Master -- it needs to survive in order to trigger.

Which makes sense, since it says after. I'm sure there are negative spells you could use, but that doesn't seem like it would be one of them. Not that there are many negative spells I could see being beneficial to cast on a 1/1.
---

yeah it's just a matter of wanting to test the mechanics/consistency of the card text

I was thinking that it only worked with buffs even though it said spells, but the explanation that the Voraxx has to survive actually makes more sense. especially knowing that Drain Soul works.
---

i'm sure, like, corruption would work too
---

I mean, if you're that desperate to draw a card...
---

I think it wouldn't work since the Voraxx has to die for Mortal Coil to trigger, and if it dies then the Voraxx won't trigger a second Voraxx
---

the card draw won't trigger on the voraxx

it'll trigger on the 1/1 it spawns

end result would be -- deal 1 damage to voraxx, draw a card
---

oh I see what you're saying now. I was thinking an injured 3/1 Voraxx. You coil it, draw a card. The 1/1 doesn't spawn because the Voraxx is now dead.

you guys are talking about a full health 3/3 Voraxx. you coil it, it spawns a 1/1. the 1/1 gets coiled, dies, and draws a card.

The Hallows End Arena stuff is out now

I drafted a Paladin with Rogue Hero Power cause I'm boring. Haven't played Arena in a long time. Got Uther so yay?
---

I'm probably going to use my first arena ticket today and save the other one for tomorrow.

No idea what class combination I should be going for. Rogue, Paladin and Mage seem to be the top three in order, but I don't really care for Rogue and Paladin/Mage, even if I get it, seems like an awkward combination of classes.
---

I drafted a deck I was sure was going to go 0-3 and I'm 2-0 right now.

It seems duoing classes somehow leads to terrible decks across the board.
---

Lots and lots of new people in arena means the field is very soft right now.
---

did the halloween arena meta start?

that might actually be enough to get me to do a run. mostly since it's free anyway.
---

Arena experience in a nutshell

Completely outplay your opponent and he has one card left. Last card is a death knight and you lose.

Have 5 cards in your hand 2 crap and 2 good ones and a Doomguard. You play doomguard, you discard the 2 good cards.

Other guy plays that 4 mana buff 2/2 and summon a 2 drop. Gets Cho. You have to kill Cho before you can do anything effectively making it so he has an advantage for the entire rest of the game.

You use Firelands portal and get a Bomb Squad. Your opponent uses a firelands portal and gets a nesting roc.

Your opponent gets a random card from a card that was generated from a card that gives him a card and gains lethal.

You have a good legendary that would help you win a few games, but you don't draw it.

Some dickhead kept roping as Big Priest. We get down to fatigue after 40 minutes and he steals an Elise pack. He plays Hydra like a fucking idiot.

My Elise pack gave me Volcano. I enjoyed every second of BMing that piece of trash and winning.

hearthstone would be so much better if it had a laugh track that played during moments like this
