I'll give a go at ranked next season too, let's see who gets highest

Any particular rules? Or just the rank at the end of the month.

indeed see if EBG can make good on his confident prediction of getting to Legendary!

I imagine the recent news has made more people aware of botting, so a few will give it a go. Once the permanent bans start I imagine it will die down a lot.

This Hunter deck has gotten me to L9 so far without much effort, so might keep with it. It will struggle against Mages though. Too many 1 health minions.

Thats what UTH is for now - that + a hunters mark to pull down something big with taunt clears out a lot of rush decks for me

I'm running with two Leper Gnomes, two Web Spinners, two Loot Hoarders and an Ironbeak Owl. I think those are all my 1 health ones.

Hello. I am aforementioned bald brother of the hamster faced Hearthly. He is responsible for my introduction to Hearthstone and, if my current gaming time continues as is, my divorce.

Absolutely obsessed with bloody game, play it for 8 hours a day and then lie in bed thinking of different decks. I've not been like this since Quake 2!

Anyhoo, created a kickass new Pally deck which after some extensive ranked testing this morning I think will be a goer for this ranking challenge.

Looking forward to getting involved..

hmmm, is it time for another forum Hearthstone challenge? Or shall we get the ladder climb out of the way first?

I'd happily participate in both next month, but someone else can run the challenge this time

1. All play with a arena draft deck Hearthpwn Arena draft simulator.

2. No Legendaries

3. All Human

4. All non-human

5.All Female

6. Taunts and Spells only

7. Computer SAYS YOUR FUCKED - Start a new deck, hit done and accept what the computer chooses for you.

8. Suicide FTW. To win you have to kill yourself before your opponent can suicide.

9. No-effect minions (card text must not exist)

10. Seven words or less - card text must have seven or less words.

11. Beards FTW - All cards must have a beard.

I just spent all of my dust making Gromash Hellscream for the Warrior deck I'll be ranking with next month.

My warrior play is getting pretty refined I think. As ever bad draw crushes me but very often loses are close. I will try hard for an early push at the start of the season and see how high up I can get in the first week or so.

Cheers Troops, just had a run through. You Deck is very very similar to mine, only a few small differences. Anyways -

Very handy as it prompted me to DC the few golds that slipped through my last pass, so am now only 80 dust off Cairne Bloodhoofer.

What's the basic card you are missing? Surely you want to get that, it would drive me insane

I have a control warrior deck, but am struggling to play it effectively, any tips or names of good streamers to watch and learn from would be appreciated.

It appears it is Savagery, from the druid side.....up until now I hadn't noticed it was fecking missing....

Will be making it later I guess, as it will likely bug me also.

Savagery is a great card! Said nobody, ever.

I was chatting to EBG in battle.net the other night and we were discussing both having a concerted effort at Ranked next season. I'm Rank 9 this season but that's honestly not with making too much of an effort or even playing that many games in Ranked, in fact I played my first ranked game for the best part of a week last night (I lost, just, but it was a great game). My preference these days is actually for Casual, as you get to play against far more varied decks, and indeed have a go with more varied decks. (I really like playing Miracle Rogue, even though it's shagged out in Ranked, it's still possible to win with it in Casual.) Also, my brother who's really got MASSIVELY into the game is up for it as well. (I should point him towards BEEX really.) So yeah, maybe a few of us could have a charge at Ranked next month and see who tops out, and indeed see if EBG can make good on his confident prediction of getting to Legendary!

I had a great game against a Warrior last night that went down to the wire. I felt slightly bad for winning though, as he killed my Webspinner and brought down Rag. The Webspinner had given me the 8/8 charge dinosaur though! BUWAHAHAHAHA! Then he played Baron Geddon, which ended up killing him in the end

Sometimes you can play 15 games only to oscillate around a single rank. It's tough going. Looks like I'll finish at 7 this month, and with the banhammer on the bots the ladder will be a little less predictable. I look forward to it!

I'm still going around gaining / losing a little ground at rank 12 - have 'seen' rank 11 but have not made it on there yet.

Post subject:	Re: Hearthstone thread
cool, just had another Bloodmage Thalnos drop, so have DC'd the gold one that I got last month. That left me with shed loads of dust so finally bit the bullet and made a Rag and Black Knight. I am now up to 20 neutral legendaries (inc the Naxx ones) and also have 3 of the class ledgendaries (Shammie, Lock and Warrior). Time to have some fun making killer decks for next season.

Well I just played a bot in Casual, so they clearly didn't get them all. Fucking thing beat me as well, which makes it extra annoying.

I imagine the recent news has made more people aware of botting, so a few will give it a go. Once the permanent bans start I imagine it will die down a lot.

Yeah I guess so, they are a pain in the arse (slow and boring to play against), and it's not just like they give cosmetic rewards either (golden heroes and cards), the extra 100G per day they can earn will really add up over time in the form of loads of extra packs, which the rest of us have to either play or pay for. IN OTHER NEWS - What decks are folks thinking of using for the GRAND RANKED LADDER CHALLENGE next month? I'm thinking about this one..... http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/105143-s ... th-trap-s7 I've also been having very good results with this Shaman deck, but it can be so damn slow, and if you're just after ruthlessly climbing the ladder, 15 minute games that end up in a loss aren't good. It's alright for Trump as it's his job, but I can't play Hearthstone for eight hours a day! It's a great deck to do a daily quest with, got some really intricate plays in it too, but I'm not sure I could tolerate trying to climb the ladder with it. Attachment: trumpyleggyshammy.JPG

My brother beat me again last night, he's getting quite annoying. I shall have to set EBG on him I think. Also, he's signed up here (or in the process of doing so), be nice to him, he's bald, despite being younger than me.

My issue with Mages is that the hero power can kill all MY one health minions! I'm running with two Leper Gnomes, two Web Spinners, two Loot Hoarders and an Ironbeak Owl. I think those are all my 1 health ones.

Played two games to get to L9 last night, then lost to a Mage. I think my deck stacks very badly against Mages. Too many cheap minions and then the Undertakers can usually be nailed by a Frostbolt. Hmmmm.
