bravesword posted:I played Marvel Snap for a bit but the card acquisition system drove me nuts. I’d rather be nickel-and-dimed by microtransactions a hundred times over than grind that stupid ladder, unable to build anything new, hoping the RNG gifts me something cool. Add that to the fact that the game will randomly make itself unplayable by doing a featured location that makes game horrendously unfun, and it didn’t take me long to put it aside. I tried it and was having fun, but I hit a bug where it wouldn't save my ladder unlocks and wouldn't let me play a game until I unlocked the next rung. After two weeks of not being able to play I just Uninstalled and moved on

emocrat posted:Was just complaining about beasts as well. I don't think Wrap God is a problem though, it the banana monkey. I think the change from poison to venom has been great personally, I was really sick of how it warped late game comps previously, and I think this is a good solution. But even reverting that wouldn't affect beasts at all given that the driver is summon/deathrattles. The problem really comes down to when you have an outlier exponential scaling comp compared to everything else being linear. Yeah Bananarama is the issue. It’d probably be fine if it was the first buff applied and didn’t stack with itself. It gets crazy when you have multiple and Mama bear

I got the dream of golden felemental, golden bran, golden metalhead dude and a couple of the give me HP battlecry mans. Ended up with a 1779/1779 felbeast and a bunch of other crazy poo poo. Laughed all the banana slammer dudes out of the lobby and never even hit felbat until my final turn. Naga dude actually kept it pretty close and forced me to sell my engine to scale wider. Honestly I'd be pissed to lose 1st with his board. Still might have lost to a crazy horse I guess but drat

RatHat posted:Yeah Bananarama is the issue. It’d probably be fine if it was the first buff applied and didn’t stack with itself. It gets crazy when you have multiple and Mama bear Just played a room where the top 5 of 7 went Beast comp and all made it to Tier 6. The winner eventually had a golden Monkey, two Mama Bears, and a regular Monkey. I managed to get second with a golden Monkey, golden Croc, and a regular Baron. Never saw a Mama Bear or Leapfrogger until my final turn (I was playing as Manastorm so not a lot of refreshing anyway) I kept looking for a way to rotate into a different comp but nothing came up that would have made it possible. Didn’t see any of the Tier 6 Undead cards that could have made it possible to build around the undead horses I had. I gotta think Beast loses a minion or two, and Monkey gets changed completely.

I think the main problem with beasts is the stats are too good, too fast. If you started getting those kind of stats on turn 9-10 it would be fine and very beatable but right now you can get them as soon as turn 6-7 if you are lucky. Compare it to Nomi who you can get at the same time as bear, but you then need to spend at least a couple of turns ramping up and getting very specific cards to get the engine going, not to mention he is also more susceptible to bad rolls.

I wouldn't touch Wild Ranked except for achievements. For Wild Casual, it really is fun with a diverse group of interesting, entertaining decks. The best part is, if someone is running a try-hard or other obnoxious deck in there, you can just concede without any penalty whatsoever (outside of a select few daily quest progressions). If anyone plays Shadow Essence, Dew Process or Defend the Dwarven District, I'm out. It's a refreshing feeling.

Banana dude doubling stats is always going to be problematic in a game with stats getting bigger and bigger. The minion should be doing something with bananas like they already exist in the game, something like "each time you summon a minion in combat give a banana to all your minions (gold give the big bananas)" or "each time you summon a minion in combat throw a banana on a random minion - repeat (2) times and permanantly upgrade this (make the (2) go up)"

Frost DK seems solid right now. I definitely hit a pocket of Paladins and jank, but I went 7-2 or so from D2 into legend. Hardcore Cultist is good if you see a lot of Paladins, otherwise Baron feels better.

Also, never got around to saying thanks for everyone's advice. I agree with a bunch of it but a lot of it was coming from having a long streak of lovely draws and games where I didn't have anything to play until turn 3, and getting frustrated and doing dumb stuff. I considered what people said, took a look at the deck I was running and tried to rig it a little better to what it was built for, clawed my way back to Plat 3... …and then promptly lost seven games in a row.  Gave up on that deck and found out I was really close to an undead Priest deck, so I dusted a gold legacy card (Doomsayer, fwiw) and filled out most of the missing bits. Hit plat 2 so my next massive slide should be happening soon! Gotta say though I really miss Hunter. My favorite thing is smashing someone in the face with a big beefy minion.

Not convinced it’s better than just playing pure paladin though. The hunter deck sorely needs some more draw, and a way to clear taunts. Paladin is better at moving through your deck with curator and boogie down and order in the court; and Anachronos is great for setting up a kill turn The Lord Bude fucked around with this message at 06:18 on May 23, 2023 |

That's always tough, and one of the reasons I played so much Face Hunter. It was cheap and good enough for climbing. Hearthstone Top Decks used to have a budget deck guide, but they don't really do it anymore (maybe Old Guardian does on his stream, not sure). I wouldn't craft anything right now since the meta is still developing, and remember to keep 2k gold for the miniset.

The Lord Bude posted:This is the more popular way of building it: Well, that's not too bad. Missing Stranglethorn, Astolor and one Barrel of Monkeys from the posted deck and Azshara and 1x School Teacher from the other. I guess being down two cards isn't much in either case but those are some pretty heavy cards. I've been struggling to think of what to replace Astalor with when I see it in a deck. There's just too much going on there. Bone Flinger might be the closest thing in terms of a 2 mana card but has prereq for its damage (friendly undead died after your turn) I don't think anyone is playing Astalor for that sweet 2 damage. So the question is, if you're going to replace it, what effect are you trying to copy? If it's the mid-range minion with armor, closest neutral might be something like Plated Beetle and even that's a stretch. Maybe Rotten Applebaum? If you're trying to replace the final form then probably Alexstrasza or maybe Denathrius. But you can't replace all three without cutting other things from your deck, and then you still don't have the guarantee that you'll have what you want when you want it. An ETC Band Manager with cheap minion is probably the closest you can get to mimicking the versatility of School Teacher. I usually put a Coroner in mine and from there it's  but Black Knight can be useful for big taunts that you don't necessarily just want to silence.fanny packrat posted:That's always tough, and one of the reasons I played so much Face Hunter.

For the moment I seem to be gaining ground with undead priest so I'll probably just stick with that until it stalls out.

Astalor is in basically every deck, so personally I’d be making it a crafting priority. Stranglethorn Heart is one of the defining cards of the deck; you can’t play that variant without it; but it’s only useful in that one deck. School teachers are in loads of decks; as is Azshara, both would be pretty good crafts. Personally, I aggressively dust everything from classes I either have no interest playing, or are just plain bad in the current meta and unlikely to improve - for me this means everything I get that is mage/warlock/warrior gets dusted; and truth be told I’m probably going to start doing the same with DH because I don’t like relic and outcast (or spell really) and I don’t see spell or Big making a comeback any time soon. If you had any of the nerfed legendaries now is also a good time to dust em IMO. you might also be interested in the current Paladin deck of choice: ### Pure and full of Grace # Class: Paladin # Format: Standard # Year of the Wolf # # 2x (1) Righteous Protector # 2x (1) Sanguine Soldier # 2x (1) Sinful Sous Chef # 1x (2) Blood Matriarch Liadrin # 2x (2) Class Action Lawyer # 2x (2) Disco Maul # 2x (2) For Quel'Thalas! # 2x (2) Hand of A'dal # 1x (2) Kotori Lightblade # 1x (2) Order in the Court # 2x (3) Boogie Down # 2x (3) Muckborn Servant # 2x (3) Seal of Blood # 1x (5) The Purator # 1x (7) Anachronos # 1x (7) The Countess # 2x (10) Lightray # 2x (10) The Garden's Grace # AAECAdz5AwaG4gSh4gTA4gSvkwWElgWFpQUMyaAE2r0E4tMEgOIEv+IE8u0Eq5MFgZYFg5YFwMQFwcQFtZ4GAAA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone It’s also pretty drat good and a good pick for climbing the ladder.

So I got a new phone at the weekend, and tried to re-log into the mobile version. Despite having an account, authenticating and signing in, the game would not let me in to the main menu. Turns out I had to pretend I was a new player to get to the main screen, log in with my normal details, reboot the game because a pop up wouldn't close and then redeem my new player pack
