/hsg/ - Hearthstone General

Seconding this, what the hell is any of the faster variations supposed to run for a good 2-drop? I've been using a harder control list from Kolento, but trying to go midrange is just awful.

go in wild and play with the good shaman cards

"Goyim" is already plural.

Have you bullied a Quest Rogue today, /hsg/?

s m h t b h f a m

You don't understand. Quest rogue is the cancer, pirates are the chemo.

*Tips fedora*

Mid Shaman is very hit and miss, if you're not queueing into hunters and paladins consistently you might get dicked by Fedoras, Freezefags, and Valeera.

Here's an alternative cheap Shaman deck to play, Abar reached rank 1 legend early in the xpac with this and it is still the highest winrate Shaman deck at Legend. Think of the gameplan like a passive token druid, instead of aggressively pushing a small group of minions, you defensively maintain a board until you can dick them with huge burst turns and tempo swings. Draw Bloodlust.

Full Control Jade Shaman with 2 Volcano, Far Sight, Spirit Echo, etc. is also a good choice (along with the jankier Concede Shaman), but the games are long and it takes a while to learn your outs because you are a bit low on threats.

Yes.

>six fucking pirate warriors in a row

I feel the same way, the inevitability of Rexxar's Steady Shot gives him the edge. Paladin is totally the new Warlock from early MSG in that it may not be better consistently than Mage but if you highroll the draft you literally can't lose, it's gross

Reminder to vote in the poll- will be sharing the link for at least a week.

I always stop at 5, got 4 once by mistake.

why do people who are obviously winning take fucking forever? are they trolling or just dim?

Replace yogg and the winrate goes up

>playing dragon priest in wild
>eating pirate warrior left and right

Control Shaman has always been the true patrician's archetype

Running a evolve control with some of the made stuff right now. Fun when it works, miserable when you don't draw to stop the endless stream of retard agro.

I actually replace Spellbender and Yogg with either 2 Glyphs or a Glyph and a Flamestrike, it's a good fucking deck that's still the best kept secret on ladder for some reason.

Really? I completely dumpster aggro with this deck. It's Quest Rogue, Jade Druid, Freeze/Gunter Mage, and Dragon Priest that tear me a new hole every game. There's so much fucking heal and removal in this deck I basically always make it to late game, it's just having the gas to do things once I'm there

Lets see how good/bad /hsg/ is at predicting draft results. How good was this draft from a few expansions ago? (Wasn't played in the current expansion).

4Head

Here is the draft.

Pretty awful

A below average but servicable WoG draft, but it's mage so anywhere from 5 to 9 is most likely if you're not shit at the game I'd say

>mfw playing ramp druid right now
>mfw seeing a poor hunter not being able to penetrate 2 bog creepers by turn 6

Here is the correct answer.

Any Hearthstone gurus know if Tarim will continue to be good for the next 2 years?

>Got lucky in a casino.
Wow, much skill.
>B-but it's skill the deck is shit!
You got a lucky streak.

...

Hoo boy you sure showed me.

How good a card is dependent on how good a class remains.

un'goro

Such a fun and interactive video game.

belongs to the titans

What's the most absolute busted Wild Deck?

Is it still Secret Paladin?

Pirate warrior. It is absolutely broken

Daily reminder there is no viable counter to quest rogue

With Cannons?

Yes

What happened to the EU vs China tournament. Reddit dropped the sticky they had for it.

Classes always jump back and forth, (except warrior, he's been on the top for a long time) so I guess the question becomes when Paladin is at the top, will Tarim be there with him.

Why aren't you playing the superior card game?

So long as Pally is the mid range Tarim will always be good. Just like Tirion finds it way into any Pally deck that isn't aggro.

what is this shit

Ship's Cannon is by far the best card in the deck, if that tells you anything. Renolock and (genuine) Egg Druid are fucking scary, too

>shit

Trying to beat heroic Malchezaar. Have any of the cards from the 2 latest expansions made it not an almost impossible battle?

enlighten me nigga

Counter spell the twisting nether

"Miracle" Priest
Not a tier 0 deck but good nonetheless, and Lyra can generate some insane value. Also has an amazing entry quote

Miracle priest isn't even tier 1

It's a decent deck for climbing, but I think Silence Priest is better on ladder desu. Lyra is a solid option for every Priest deck, though.

I prefer Dragon Priest desu.

anyfin decks could beat this easily

now it's probably even easier with the stegodon spell

When is the new expansion coming and which sets will rotate out?

As for rotation, they don't rotate every expansion. Expansions last 2 years, Old gods, Karazhan, and Gadgetzan are next on the chopping block in early 2018

Sets come out 3 times/year. so the next one's probably going to be around August.

Any decks I can use Pyros in?

save your screenshots as jpegs, you dumb faggots

Why???

>posts a .png

why

what's your favorite part of the current meta

mine is that every deck after rank 5 has to be 26 cards because if you don't run crabs you get run over by 60% of opponents

loads much quicker, less data used for mobile fags.
that's a reaction image that's 74kb, dummy- not a 3.0mb full screen cap

...

>mobile posting

>finally get to legendary
>first game
>ready to play against the best of the best
>first game against priest
>turn 1 plays shieldbearer

>less data used for mobile fags.

Oh, a good reason to keep using PNG

Unless you are aiming for high legend, most people just give up and play their dailies at legend. Doesn't matter if you make a 3 digit legend finish or 4 digit one or even a 5 digit one.

>ready to play against the best of the best
>At Legend rank above 100

sweet child

>not playing shieldbearer for the small chance he will glitch and become so small the enemy can't target him

>Top 0.1% of the playerbase
>Well it is still not the best of the best

What about every aggro, fast midrange and combo deck in existence?

I need someone for the 80 gold quest. First come first serve.

>At Rank 20 after not playing for a month trying to play EleShaman
>Literally every other deck is a Rouge or Warrior

Please send help, what can Shaman use to stabilize after eternal 5/5s or fucking Arcanite

Oh tru, Dragon Priest is definitely the best

Ant just got 12 wins in Wild Brawl, good deck confirmed. I'm glad Warlock is gone from Standard yet viable somewhere, it's the best of both worlds.

no one gives a flying FUCK, and I post often from my phone, what kind of shit dataplan do you have?

If Jaina challenged you to a game of strip hearthstone and was using discover burn make herself what deck would you use against her

sniff me

Kripp is such a fucking beta holy shit. Every time there is something competitive in HS he makes excuses for not playing it because he knows he's a little bitch who can hang with the best. Then he goes back and plays is baby autist arena mode and complains about RNG and getting sniped.

What a piece of human trash.

Kripp is a vegan
That is all you need to know about him

If you want to see Jaina playing Gunter Mage naked, I would play Jade Druid and Secret Mage, the best counters

if kripp plays it, people will watch.
if people watch, blizz will continue to think this is a good idea

...

dead game

I want a mode for us normal people, devoid of cancer:
>Spells can't target face.
>Charge minions can't target heroes the turn they're summoned.

Maybe ban a couple cards like the Priest Quest for further balancing and such.

The entire game of Hearthstone is centered around the mechanic of having to play minions, then waiting a turn before you can attack with them, if they survive. Then you have to make a decision between trading or sending their damage to face. This horseshit with aggro and OTKs has completely stopped me from spending money on expansions anymore. I was a paying customer who spent up to $200 per expansion. In Gadgetzan, I only preordered. In Un'Goro, I've spent no cash whatsoever, only used gold and crafted a Quest Warrior deck, since it's the closest thing we have to a normal control deck that doesn't die to cancer. If they'd make a mode like that, I'd start spending again. Surely, I can't be the only one. I don't understand how pandering to aggro netdeckers is generating them more money than it would pandering to us experimenters and control players. Our decks cost more to build.

>The entire game of Hearthstone is centered around the mechanic of having to play minions, then waiting a turn before you can attack with them
My magic will tear you apart!

-He's been on top of Arena rankings consistently.
-He hates constructed because it's an unskilled, uninteractive mess of Rock, Paper, Scissors bullshit on a deck vs. deck level and also RNG city.
-He almost exclusively plays meme decks in constructed, because only massive tryhard nolife autists would actually netdeck in constructed for prolonged periods of time.

Conclusion: Constructed is full of cancer. Why would he give a fuck? But go ahead, tells us your arena winrate. Oh right, let me guess. You'll be telling us arena is more RNG than constructed, right?

Mage is supposed to control the board with her spells, not use them exclusively to kill the opponent.
