    Hearthstone

    @Mr. MorrowGirl - There's still plenty of skill involved with making crappy draft choices work. Moreover, it's much better to think through your moves and all possible outcomes in order to ensure you win. It's not about one slick move that will win you the game, it's about gaining little...

    New constructed is pretty addicting. I had to force myself to stop after playing for a couple hours straight. Climbing the ladder is a pretty fun carrot on a stick. My warrior deck topped out around rank 20 where you start losing stars if you lose. Switched to my rogue deck and it made it to...

    Just played through this since Hearthstone is down for maintenance. I didn't feel like I rushed through it, but it only took me two hours to play through. Even at $10/hr, I feel like I got my money's worth since they put together a heartfelt story with a really rich background...

    Just stopped an arena run at 8. For my last game, I played try-hard mode until it looked like I had the win. My opponent was actually doing really well, but his early aggro Warlock deck sputtered out and my mid-range Shaman deck gained the upper hand. Then he started top decking, and I had board...

    Oceanhorn is a really beautiful game that dropped over Thanksgiving. It's pretty much a Zelda / Windwaker ripoff (complete with sailing) with Nobuo Uematsu doing music. I seriously considered getting a 3DS, but decided to pass on it. Instead, I'm thinking about getting a controller housing...

    Hearthstone

    Now that I'm thinking about it... why are there so many random effect minions? You could easily replace the text on the Demolisher with something like: at the beginning of your turn, gain a 1 mana deal 2 damage card. Change Young Priestess to: When played and at the beginning of every turn, gain...

    Hearthstone

    I just don't think that the static gain on mana, nor the single resource, is the limiting factor in this game's design. There just needs to be more interesting cards that can be played that will break up the current aggro-centric meta. Hearthstone is missing things like neutral...

    Hearthstone

    I could maybe see them doing something like that for a new class. Monks, for example, could gain light/dark chi (like they used to have for MoP). And you could then decide whether you want more of one as opposed to the other or a balance of the two. I just feel like at this point in the game...

    Hearthstone

    I don't really think that having colorless mana is working against Hearthstone. They've shown that they can make interesting mechanics through things like Shaman's overload or Rogue's combos. Besides, having colored mana that doesn't automatically increase every turn would slow the game down --...

    It's also dependent upon the time of day. Play in the morning and you'll see tougher opponents. Play in the evening, when more people are playing, and you should be able to get further in your arena than you normally would.

    Hearthstone

    Even without a weapon, Greenskin isn't a terrible minion. Millhouse has such an epic potential for failure. And Cho having zero attack makes him fairly useless and easy to play around in the early game. Also, I feel that no consecrate or truesilvers is a pretty common occurrence. Just take...

    I got hit with pyro + equality today. That one was definitely out of left field for me. Silencing my own guys that have been hit with the 3/3 Aldor Peacekeeper (lowers attack to 1) can be pretty clutch. Alternatively, I went against a paladin earlier who dropped an Aldor Peacekeeper on one...

    ^ Shit like that is why I tend to tilt in this game. That and RNG... Just went 9-2 after a week's worth of not so great arena runs. I didn't think my deck would make it to 9 (6 tops), but I guess watching Trump for 2 hrs first gave me the edge. Two things I learned from watching him: 1)...

    Hearthstone

    So Trump has been putting out these full arena run videos, but I've been avoiding them since they're almost an hour each. But they're really well done (or at least this first one I watched). He edits out all the downtime so it's just actions and you get a really awesome play-by-play of what he's...

    Would they be that overpowered? Whelp Armor and Invuln Mail, maybe. But if you have a minion with 5 attack out, then it'll only work for one turn. So change them to 4 toughness. Just throwing ideas out there, it's not like Blizzard reads these forums. Anyways, part of the problem with the...

    Hearthstone

    To expand upon Mr. MorrowGirl's neutral weapons, which would be a pretty fun and easy way to expand the game, what about gear? Make each piece have a toughness which loses value before armor. Here's a couple ideas stolen from WoW professions. Gnomish Mind Control Cap (3 toughness) - Control...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Blizzard + Healing Blades sounds counter intuitive. Healing Blades + 1h is fine, swing fast and heal up a lot. But I thought Blizzard scales better with a slow weapon? Whatever works though. I haven't played this game in months, so things have probably changed.

    Damn. Just played a Warlock who totally baited me. Turn 1 Flame Imp, I coined into Slam to get rid of it. Turn 2 Murloc Tidehunter (2/1 that summons a 1/1 murloc), so I charge my 1/2 Novice Engineer into the 1/1. Turn 3, he just lifetaps, so I charge my Leper Gnome into the 2/1 to clear it. At...

    Really, in the current meta, weenie decks can do no wrong. Packing your deck with the under-costed neutrals like Fairy Dragon, Harvest Golem, Cleric, Dark Iron Dwarf, and Azure Drake almost feels like cheating. I've just been doing that and supplementing with class based removal and have been...

    You're just new. Paladins are a very minion focused hero, while hunters have a lot of great minion removal spells. I was wondering about the iPad version myself. I didn't get the virtual ticket, so this is just speculation, but I'm thinking it'll be out once the game releases (which is in...

    Yeah, I care about golden cards, so I've been keeping mine. I've spent $60 on packs at this point, but since I haven't been DEing beyond extra cards, I don't have too many legendaries. The only one that I've been using really is Grom Hellscream. I also have Leeroy, the Black Knight, the Beast...
