Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: A Lack of Synergy

(+) Yeah! (+)

The other difference though is that before Machinegun priest their spells were almost always like buffs or more expensive board clears overall. Like I think Glyph as it in now would only see play in priest due to the combo but once that rotated out or before the expansion it would probably not see play.

I'm not having fun with the game right now. Know what I did? Stopped playing.
---

what is this about golden packs? I saw people mention them on reddit but no one was specific about how they were getting them or where it came from
---

from twitch prime

mine was 300 dust so yeah
---

I have twitch prime. how do I make blizzard know that I have twitch prime so that I can get my golden pack?

I did it already previously to get Tyrande but apparently it doesn't remember that I have twitch prime?
---

log onto twitch and click prime loot, it should be there

did you get the void/light card backs? It's the same deal there

yeah I just figured it out. navigating twitch is really annoying though, I almost never go there. the only reason I have a prime account is because it was free with amazon prime.

nope, apparently I missed my chance to get those. since I ALREADY LINKED THEM and got tyrande I assumed I would get the other loot items automatically as they became available. apparently that is not the case. oh well.

got my golden pack now at least.

nothing good, of course.
---

My free trial of Prime was gone before Tyrande ever came out, so this is something else I won't be getting. However, on the subject of Twitch Prime stuff did anyone ever say what that legendary card sleeve was for? Haven't heard anything about it since it was first discovered.

I did get enough dust to craft this secret mage deck I've been theory crafting

fucking hell this deck is soooooooo degenerate

my first game was against an aggro/tempo paladin who was leading on the board and winning the entire game until I just had one swing turn and completely flipped the entire board and there was literally nothing he could do about it.

If anyone wants to play it. Probably laughing harder than I have playing HS in a long time. Pretty much every match so far has ridiculous shenanigans like me out value-ing my opponents who play Frost Lich Jaina, or getting an 8/3 mana wyrm with counterspell up and them having no minions on board. Just outright oppressive nonsense.

Modifications I'd make if I could afford it... Primordial Gylph would probably bump my overall winrate but it's a damn expensive card and I currently have 0 copies. Babbling Book is basically a temporary band-aid to fill that role. I'm ambivalent about the Arcane Giants. They've been good in the matches that go into the lategame but there's other games where they are sitting in my hand at 6 mana and I've basically already won.

oh for added hilarity play Mana Bind and then Counterspell

your opponents spell will be stopped AND you'll get a copy that costs 0
---

First and probably only time I'll manage to do this, I just outlasted and took to fatigue a frost lich jaina deck. Went through his baron geddon, water elementals, even freaking anomalus for a full heal, still managed to take him down.
---

Wow my last three packs had Leeroy Jenkins, Nozdormu, and Golden Tinkmaster Overspark respectively. Granted the last one was from the golden pack but still feeling pretty #blessed right now

Got to lose to Thoughtsteal hitting my own DK Guldan because it was bottom 2 in my library. Hearthstone is totally skill game though guys.

It is funny when actual pros take my position and nobodies like FD and skullbone try defending this highroll RNG trash, though. Thats always good for a laugh.

Yeah I'm sure that was the only play in the whole game that decided the outcome. You've already proven you misplay constantly so nope but nice try.

I never disagreed that the game is a highroll RNG trashfest sometimes but you keep pushing the hyperbole that skill doesn't matter to fend off your inferiority complex for another day.

If skill doesn't matter I'm not sure why you get so upset at losing? You're basically a child throwing a pouty fit from losing a coin flip. The best deck in the game currently has a 54% win rate so you're still losing 46 out of 100 on average.

I seriously do not understand what you're getting out of this game Ulti. The only thing that makes any sense if that you keep playing so you can constantly inform us that this game is bad and it's impossible to have any fun.

Message received Ulti so you're free! You can leave us all alone now.

Skill does not matter. There is ample proof.

Yeah honestly I think it's time to just ignore the guy. I've spent too long hoping he could be reasoned with but it's obviously a lost cause.

I'm a little disappointed that if you have multiple Swamp King Dred only one of them attacks each minion. I wanted dumb dinos charging at corpses.

Went back to blocking it so it doesnt matter going forward. Stalkers are too pathetic to give any attention to.

Literally calls me out by name.

I respond.

Stalker.

Ulti is probably one of the worst human beings I've ever had to deal with. How have you guys put up with him for so long? Seriously

I was watching an old firebat video from like a couple months ago or something and some dude tried to force savage combo him

lol
---

Well, that was the filthiest deck I've ever gone 4-3 with.

First loss was a great game. Second loss was fine. Third loss was getting highrolled over and over while I myself lowroll, aka "getting Hearthstoned."

I really wanted that deck to get at least 8...

Just had a game versus Amnesiac
he was playing like a midrange warlock (it was a weird list) and I was playing highlander.

He got pretty unlucky not drawing guldan, but i didnt draw Anduin until like pretty late too. Even if he drew guldan I think I still win because I was keeping aoe for it and had plenty of burst in my hand.

Most players seemed to love DKs in arena.

---

for someone who plays a lot of hearthstone you know surprisingly little about hearthstone
---

by the way considering the fast turnaround rate on this (just a few weeks ago they said they weren't even considering removing DKs) I'm guessing arena attendance has dropped off MASSIVELY. this is just a theory of mine but it's a pretty good explanation for what happened here.

the promotional event got a lot of people playing so it was hard to tell, but then things went back to normal and attendance probably dropped to really low levels. there was no longer a promotional event going on to draw attention, and the regular players were likely very fed up with DKs -- especially with how they were twice as common during dual class and just as oppressive as ever. knowing that blizzard had no intention of fixing the problem even after they announced the removal of flappy bird likely pissed a lot of people off. possibly enough that blizzard was like 'oh shit we have to get rid of these things within four days'

because seriously how often is an arena change announced and implemented in four days... just a few weeks after blizzard said they weren't even considering fixing the problem (which people have been complaining about for three months)
---

The absolute is when like you have outs and you are tracking them and your opponent rngs so hard that it eliminates them. Like I was versus a druid and he has low HP but had mediv up and stuff. Well I have BL in hand so if I can like have a couple minions stick and get liek jade lightning or something I can win. I say that to myself but he swipes (which he had two in his first 8 cards) and he gets a random Fandreal (sp) from it. He then uses a wrath to draw another card to get a scales to basically put him out of range.

is it time for our monthly reminder that taking advice on the state of arena from people who don't play or care about arena is like getting a steak house recommendation from a vegan

Had an awful paladin arena deck. It went 2-3 mainly because i didnt draft any of the strong Paladin class cards. Right after I drafted a rogue where I think the card quality was worse, but rogues are much better suited for that and went 7 wins without Vilespine, Plague Scientist, Evis, Backstab, That 3/2 weapon that gives you immune when you equip it, Bonemare, etc. Basically without any of the OP cards that has made rogue top tier in arena.

And I lost my last 3 games to rogues with much better decks all of them had at least 3 of the cards above I mentioned in their decks. One of them had to top deck lethal.
