Brinolovania Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 If this thingy is being revived, I guess I'll join it. YCM username: Pacmanexus Hearthstone username: Pacmanexus #1831 Region: NA Also, I'd join a tournament if we do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 1. Free Arena run with GvG cards is now available. You receive a Classic pack, so if you're looking for a GvG pack, wait for the 8th to pass before embarking on the Arena fun.2. Spectator Mode is now enabled. We should sort out that tournament then.

Shradow Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've currently got 1200 gold saved up for GvG, but now that I think about it I haven't really been actively saving up. I just haven't been playing too often outside of clearing out my dailies every few days. My recent arena runs have all been 7+ wins so it's just been steadily going up. EDIT: Picked Fel Reaver in my current Arena run, and as I expected it's a fine card. The downside hurts a bit, but 8/8 for 5 is just too much value to ignore. I often times find my opponent try to fatigue me (btw, his effect doesn't cause fatigue damage if you're out of cards, since his effect mills) only to find themselves quickly out of cards of their own (in the hand). Enhance-o Mechano is also fun, though when you play it on a board of Boulderfist Ogre and Toshley then of course it's gonna be good. MOAR EDIT: The goodness continues. Oh Fel Reaver, I love how you make the opponent make terrible decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I hear a tournament? Trying to plan one, the issue I keep running into is the EU/NA barrier. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 you change servers with your accounts but you do lose all your data-so those in the EU or NA might want to start buillding up cards on their opposite servers and you do keep all your cards on the original server as well.

Shradow Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 So apparently along with the free Arena run we'll also get 3 free GvG packs, so that's nice. Let's all take screenshots of what we draw so we can cry/brag together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazooie Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Apparently I got a really good draft with Priest for my first arena run. I did it blind cause I had no idea how arena worked, and when I showed Lily and Black, they both said that it was really good. Surprised me. I drafted it before GvG was added to arena, so none of those cards are in the deck sadly. I just wanted to post it here cause I wanna keep a written log of it once my Arena Draft is over once I do it, I don't wanna forget I had some good luck. xD [spoiler=Arena Draft] x3 Power Word: Shield Northshire Cleric x2 Shadow Word: Pain Acidic Swamp Ooze Amani Berserker Bloodfen Raptor Acolyte of Pain Big Game Hunter Earthen Ring Farseer Raging Worgen Mass Dispel Shadow Madness Auchenai Soulpriest Ogre Magi Spellbreaker Twilight Drake Holy Nova Azura Drake Frostwolf Warlord Gurubashi Berserker Silver Hand Knight Stranglethorn Tiger Sunwalker Sylvanas Windrunner x3 Temple Enforcer [/spoiler] Part of me is curious if this really has a chance in the arena, cause I'm really not sure.

.Rai Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Super good draft. If you had a few more 3s, like a Dark Cultist or two, you'd be so sorted. I've not had a lot of good luck with arena recently. With the GvG cards, I'm running into absolutely absurd interactions. Someone even made a Kezan Mystic relevant against me. That and the fact I'm bad at Arena, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't understand how I went 7-3, this Priest draft is awful, at least I thought so. The curve was not appealing at all.

Yea 3 drops area little low but if you can put something out t2 to hold out until t4, that's usually the big turn that matters, and you have a lot of t4 threats. In fact all of your 4 mana cards are solid minions (Violet Teacher being the only combo-reliant 4 drop you have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I didn't like my early game. Not enough 2 drops you'd want to put down on their own with only 3 (4 against non-weapon classes with Ooze, though Loot Hoarder becomes a bad 2 drop against classes that can deal 1 damage with their hero power), and no 3 drops to just play as 3 drops without losing out on a battlecry. 2 of my losses were from simply drawing all my 4+ drops (a third of the deck costing 4 mana is not good, solid cards or not) in my opening hand and by the time I got to play them it was too late to stabilize. If the people that tried to rush me down and ignore my board had played a little smarter, it could've easily been about 3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
