Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

God I love my priest deck.

Look here.

Sweeeeeet!

I'm guessing this wipe has already happened?

It was done at the beginning of October alongside a major patch.

Wait, does that mean if I get shit in the beta now I'll keep it? That's sweet.

I got a beta key, by the way, but haven't had a chance to download the game (my home internet is horrible).

I must admit. My favorite combo with my current priest deck.

Lightwell + Inner Fire

Combine with some health doublers and the Coin and you can greet your opponents with a 10/10 lightwell on turn 2

if they dont have an immediuate counter for it the results tend to be amusing.

Thanks! Super sweet! That must have been right before the wave my invite was in.

So we basically keep everything we have. That's awesome! Pretty happy about my golden Brewmaster and Worgen then!

Earth Shock!

Counter to everything. Except stuff with health.

yeah,. silences suck.

But I've found when I do pull out the deathwell, theres only 2 posibilities.

1: they remove it asap

2: they have no removal onhand and I cleave a third of their Hp off before they can kill it.

I have won my second game ever. I used all my guile and cunning to carefully pick which cards I wanted in my starting hand when my opponent quit.

VICTOLY!

My greatest win so far was the time I inner fired my Lightwell on turn 2 and my opponent quit the game.

This Inner Fire-Lightwell stuff seems pretty legit. Especially in Arena. Inner Fire is a common too!

Inner Fire is probably the most versatile spell I have.

This is a list of shit I've done with Inner fire.

1: Turned Lightwell into a death engine

2: turned enemies with 5 damage and 1 health left into useless 1/1's

3: given things with spreads like 4/5 or 3/5 the proper attack value to smash with a shadow word death/pain

I haven't built a Priest deck yet, but I am still very much enjoying my Paladin (and now Druid) decks. I had some awesome wins the other day with the Druid, crushing people with Heart of the Wild-buffed minions.

I also managed a very satisfying Paladin win based on buffing my 1/1 hero power-summoned minions and using them to feed things like the Frostwolf Warlord who gains power based on how many minions you have out. Blessing of Kings works great here to keep the little guys alive.

I keep wanting to include my two Kinfe Jugglers in... well, every deck.

It's difficult not to!

"Put this apple on your head!"

I had one funny battle involving my Cairne Bloodhoof card, where my opponent played a card to mirror the summon. I used my Cairne to kill his Cairne, then used my Baine to kill his Baine.

I also had an evil battle against a Jaina player, who used that damn Questing Adventurer card in combination with a ton of taunt cards to buff it into a monstrosity.

Edit: Fixed card name.

sounds like my relationship with Loot Hoarders.

its just so adorable hearing them yell 'MIND IF I ROLL NEED?!"

Questing Adventurer? Because yeah, that's a damn fine card right there...

Loot Hoarder yells that? I really gotta use him now...

That's the one. Remembering all the names is tough when I'm not at my home computer. Also, I agree that the Loot Hoarder is hilarious.

Just got my first legendary. Also Golden. I so want to disenchant it, but it would be such a waste... Prophet Velen. I guess I could make a priest deck, but I don't really have any other good priest cards.

Now, now, everyone knows the purpose of Velen is for you to ignore him and hope he goes away.

Also, cool that you can emote by right-clicking your portrait.

Still on the losing streak of the damned. Hit level 15 on Gul'dan from losing matches and the practice bouts. Trying to decide which other character I should give a try to. For the life of me, I can't remember what I played in the old card game. Things were different and very complicated then, but I remember I was working on a warrior deck. I think I had a paladin and a warlock.

Ooh, golden Prophet Velen? That's super sweeeeeeeeeet...

Just completed a terrible Arena (2 wins) but the prize pool had a Lightwell, and the pack itself had an Argent Commander and a Frothing Berserker!

This just in from Blizzcon, the game should be going into open beta next month! So, the game might see a full release early next year.

And the Blizzcon card is Elite Tauren Chieftain◊.

They are also going to add animated Golden Hero cards which will be earned in a new mode called Ranked Play.

HEARTHSTONE IS GOING TO BE ON ANDROID AND iPHONE!

....in the second half of next year...

As fun as this game is to load up and play when I have a little time to waste, the core gameplay is basic enough that I can't see it holding my interest for the long haul.

I suppose the truly dedicated players will find satisfaction in building awesomely powerful decks and winning ladder matches, but I lack the ambition for it.

It's indisputably enjoyable as a casual game, though.
