Any hint on how that finished up? Ok, and 8/8 on turn 1 is a bitch, but not unwinnable... maybe

Made an arena deck with 2 Rags and 4 innervates. In my fourth match I achieved my long time dream.

First 4 screenshots are pictures of my deck.

Edit: Only got to 4 wins Rag got Facelessed twice in two games. RNG is not with me today. It was still fun though.

If somebody wants to calculate the chance, maybe this will help?

I got Innervate, X , X , Rag. Where X is a random card.

Mulliganned the X's for two innervates.

Don't know if it will help much.

Barely playing 2 matches a day at the moment, have quite lost my enthusiasm and relying on Nax to tempt me back.

Played a couple tonight as Druid, all against fucking Zoo, and lost them all.

Fuck Zoo, fuck zoo in it's cheap shitty arse.

I'm only playing Druid for quest synergy, but my deck is rather ragtag mix of basic things with the Druid legendary which I actually have.

Finally wheezed to victory against a Hunter. Haven't since UTH for ages, funny how even a minor nerf really takes the punch out of the whole deck.

UTH is still awesome in Arena, and can be useful if playing as a Hunter for your daily quests. Buzzard, Hyena, UTH is still a badass combo at lower levels.

Just lost to a Druid in Arena. I think it was his 5th or 6th Swipe that ended it.

I have 2200 dust at the moment.

I'm missing some rares and epics I would like, but I think the best value in dust is to craft legendaries, is that right? The rares and epics will drop eventually.

So who do I craft? I think my choice is between Leeroy and Ragnaros really, but who do you have that you love, or really want that you don't have?

It's very annoying when you get killed by the client fucking up. It's not very good at handling a connection with a high ping it seems. But rather than not letting you play a game, it lets you play, but every other move it stops you being able to do anything at all until the countdown timer starts , you then get one action and then it stops you doing anything else until the timer runs out...

I'm downloading the BF4 DLC on my ps4 at the moment, which is what i'm assuming is causing the issue (and don't get me started on the inability to set a download speed limit or pause a download on the PS4...), but a better way of handling it would be nice. At least it wasn't an arena run.

5mbit. It's a known issue with hearthstone apparently, can't be arsed to faff around just for their crappy coding

5mbit? Do you live on the moon?

Broadband on the IOM is pretty good these days in the main but not exactly stellar by UK standards (we connect at around 29-30 down/1.8-2.2 up on VDSL), however when it was somewhat patchier (before they extended the fibre cabs out all over the place) I did very much base our home rental decisions based on how good the broadband was. (And when we finally bought a place, decent internet was in the 'must have' column.)

Even with 5mbit I'm surprised that a PS4 download can totally saturate the connection to an extent that Hearthstone stops working properly, I can't imagine it increasing the latency and/or lack of bandwidth to such an extent that a card game ceases to function properly?

23rd for the eu servers apparently, but nothing stopping you trying it out on the US servers, apart from the login servers crapping out due to demand, obviously...

it feels like a cheap fucking deck to me.

Can't help but feel that the things you despise are merely those that you've lost to at some point, at which point it's skilless and gimmicky and you hate it.

I don't think using close synonyms to describe the things you've said is a misrepresentation of your views

I play some shade of miracle although without preps or Van Cleef because I don't have those cards, and it is all centred around the auctioneer. You need the draw though as yes, the deck is based around it and if you don't get it you are likely to lose. Like most legendary decks, you need a couple of specific cards to guarantee the win.

I'd disagree very much about Freeze Mage, there isn't much skill in controlling the board until turn 9. Frost Nova/Blizzard/Doomsayer yawn yawn, Alex, then Fireball/Bolt/Lance to finish. Same old story, very dull and tedious, and very hard to win against unless you have a deck with heals when you get knocked down to 15, while still having a way to deal with an 8/8 on the board. There isn't that much skill in it, except that you need to hold the essential cards for the final burst, and play the ice blocks etc. as mana allows to keep yourself alive until the finisher. Fail to draw the right cards and you could lose there too.

So really, it's just Legend decks in 'difficult to win against' shocker

There doesn't seem to be much distinction between the number of boxes you get as a reward at different win ratios. Has someone done a handy analysis?

Disagree with you there too Chopley - if the Miracle runs out of burst and you have too much heal or armour, the Rogue gets into fatigue and that's that. Like any good deck, you need to adjust to fit the meta, at which point it's not really cheap at all.

Generally, I think most of the Legend decks are the same. They all have their way of winning, none of which are unfair or cheap because they all have their counter.

Except Zoo. Fuck zoo. Trump made a good point about that - it'll get you to Legend, it won't make you a top Legend.

On top of that I think the boxes are totally randomised, (with the exception of the guaranteed card pack), so you could get better boxes for a 0-3 Arena run than you would for a 2-3 run, and equally so for each 'tier' above that.
