    Just got miracle maly'd by a Shaman. It was his perfect finish. He probably gets it less than 20% of the time. I had 27 health at start of turn. He plays Ancestors call for 4 mana to summon Maly. Then 2 3 mana lava bursts that leave him with 0 mana and me with 7 health. Followed by a 0...

    No new tournament mode is disappointing.

    Playing ladder at rank 10. I'm playing Control Warrior and face 2 tempo mages in a row. The first portals in a 5 mana KT which was nice for him with his board of mirror images. The 2nd portals in a 4 mana Archmage Antonidas. I got smashed shortly thereafter. I must not have prayed enough to...

    What is going on there? How are you getting the 30 face damage?

    If I had Troggzor, I'd probably throw him in a deck.

    I ran mana wyrms, flamewakers, azure drakes, and Antonidas as my only minions.

    MOAR RNG does not a fun Brawl make.

    Hearthstone

    I started in January so can offer some recent experience. First, I would buy Naxx with cash. I think BRM is much less useful for a starting player. In terms of Arenas and classic packs, I did the following: run Arena ~3 times a week with the gold from your dailies. Then, whenever I...

    Maybe me and my like 38% win rate with Patron Warrior is what's holding back the nerf bat

    Been playing since January and didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out. I had assumed that the red X was to cancel a quest if your log was full or something.

    Hearthstone

    Yep. As you beat bosses and other special challenges, you are awarded the cards. It's like 21 neutrals including some legendaries plus 9 class cards. Some like Haunted Creeper, Sludge Belcher, and Loatheb are used in tons of decks. Other stuff might be more situational, but would still be...

    I think the best bang for your buck would be buying Naxx. A number of those cards see regular play and can really help a new collection.

    Went to shop to buy a pack, but it just displays this strange "Opening Necropolis" message. Not sure what's going on. Also, when I first logged in, it said something about me earning a mount for Heroes of the Storm. Logged into Heroes and didn't notice any new mount. Something odd is going on.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Was looking at this in the Steam Summer Sale. There is alot of DLC... would you suggest it all? There is a package for $50 that includes most of the DLC except the most recent few I think. Or, could just go base game for $20 to check it out. I dabbled a bit with EU3, but never really...

    Got my 40 dust and am underwhelmed. Hopefully, they can improve on the "fun factor" in future weeks. I'd like to see deck building challenges like make your best deck using only even or odd mana cards, or using only 3 mana minions, etc. Something that allows the player to be creative and use...

    Agree about the extreme randomness. Out of entire spell universe, I get 2 Forked Lightnings in a row playing as Nef. Also, have they said anything about how match ups are determined? Random, based on rank, total hero levels, or some secret sauce?

    Hearthstone

    Brawl is fucking stupid. They should at least tell you the contents of the deck you are playing. There is no explanation or anything. You click play and all the sudden you are in game as nef or rag, don't know their decks or abilities and are expected to mulligan wisely. WTF. Yes, Nef is...

    Yeah, I've never bought any cosmetic option in a game and won't be starting now. Just beat an Alleria hunter and it felt good. On another note (to beat a dead horse), the current meta and difference from hero to hero is incredibly frustrating. It is easy to rank up playing Warlock, Hunter...

    Ah, interesting. Haven't run across that before. Edit: And, fantastic, more broken charge-mechanic face aggro to deal with.

    Playing ladder at rank 10 and just played a Warlock deck I hadn't seen before. Not quite sure what is was trying to accomplish, but they played 1 deathlord, 2 sludge belchers, 1 sacrificial pact, 1 darkbomb and a couple other things. Usually Maly lock has more card draw, right? Not sure if...

    Any of you stream Patron? I suck at it and would love to watch someone who is successful with it. Dropped from rank 14 to rank 16 today playing it. For context, I finished last season at rank 4. I don't think it's quite as easy to pick up as you all make it out to be.

    Just got stomped in Arena by a guy who played Rag, then followed up with Faceless Manipulator. Fuck me. Edit: Not to mention the Flamestrike, Fireball, 2 Frostbolts, Flamecannon, Water Elemental, Harvest Golem, etc. Ridiculous deck.

    Holy Fuck. I'm going to learn how to play Patron Warrior even if it kills me. Went a sweet, sweet 3-9 today including 8 straight losses (with a streak within a streak of 4 straight mage losses). I will figure this shit out. FUCK.

    Priest has a Soulpriest on the board. Uses Light of Naaru to kill my 3 health minion. I didn't realize that would summon a Lightwarden for them. My minion had no health - he was dead, so why would he get a Lightwarden out of that?

    Hearthstone

    There is no doubt in my mind that it is just easier to win as Hunter. I try all sorts of different combo and control decks. Some I'm OK at, some I suck at. But then I return to Mid Hunter and go like 6-1 or 7-3 or something. It's just way easier. Edit: For example, was just raging after...

    Question. I've used Hearthstone Deck Tracker pretty much since I started playing back in January. I've also used the Hearth Arena website to track my Arena performance. My question is: is the Hearthstats website useful for anything? I see that now the Deck Tracker is more integrated with...

    5 games this arena run so far with 3 legendaries played against me. This is reminding me real quick why I haven't played much Arena since March. Lots of things causing me Blizzard angst. Time to step away a while and do something else with my time. But will I go so far as Bisi and...

    Yep, cosmetic bullshit sucks. No doubt they will make bank, but I prefer substance over style. My favorite games are mostly 10+ years old. This industry (at least the larger devs) has gone to shit because everything needs to be appealing to the mouth-breathing masses. Fucking slap some...

    LOL. Just saw Hearthstone commercial on TV during Blackhawks game. On the other hand, fuck this game. Was playing mid-hunter, but faced something like 4 hunters in 6 games, so switched to a dragon control warrior for fun. After switch, 2 fucking handlocks and a freeze mage. I reiterate...

    Incredibly impressive. Around what ranks were you playing? I, for one, struggle with Freeze Mage pretty much no matter what I play. I feel like I only win if the the Mage gets unlucky. Damnit... I may have to spend some dust on Doomsayers and try this out.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Oh, I was playing against the AI with AI teammates. Probably not ideal to play support with AI teammates - we weren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye. I'm used to RTS games like Company of Heroes where the AI doesn't pose much of a challenge (dependent on difficulty setting of course). Upon...

    I tried this briefly a couple weeks ago and didn't think it was my cup of tea, but going to level up to 12 to get the Hearthstone card back. My initial feedback is who designed the fucking shop? It doesn't list prices in gold or $$ of things unless you individually select them. How fucking...
