Magoose, I'm not gonna bother to play any old fucking jank ass card game that comes out.  If I'm gonna bother to invest the time in one, it's gonna be one that I have a fairly good idea will have a large player base, which is why I'm excited for HEX and Hearthstone, but not SolForge.  Card Hunter has less buzz/interest than SolForge, so who gives a flying fuck.

I get these games confused. Isn't SolForge the game being designed by Dick Garfield and the Ascension guys? Why wouldn't that pedigree be able to attract a decent playerbase?

that's because solforge is sort of boring,simple and somewhat power creepy... it's not horribad but you really shouldn't think of either MTG or Ascension when thinking of solforge

When you pay to play the arena battles, do you keep the cards you draw?

I need to unlock all the decks, soon as I could play other people I jumped on it an tuned my custom deck a little.

Tomorrow Ill try to unlock all the decks.

Just getting around to learning all the classes will take some time. Gameplay seems deep enough for me.

Had some pretty close matches where the odds flipped last minute, had this guy down to 2 health and he got me down to 0 from 17 :( vice versa too once.

yeah I'm worried they are holding too much back for future expansions, when this is the WoW problem in reverse - they're competing against years-established TCGs and as much as they want to keep the mechanics simple, they really can't, not if they want the hardcore

I think that they'll be fine attracting people who are blizzard fans but not necessarily hardcore tcg fans with the card pool as it is now.  Down the road, when more expansions come out, you can potentially rope those people in.

4-0 in arena with my Hunter deck. :rock

I could definitely see people who have a deeper background in tcgs (me, frag) being able to "go infinite" in Arena with little to no difficulty.  None of my games have been particularly close yet, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that in Magic, my favorite formats have always been limited (draft, sealed deck) so I can snap evaluate cards when choosing what to "draft" in arena at a higher level than a lot of people, I'm willing to bet.

I think the mechanics are acceptable for even people like me. This includes the lack of interrupt actions and requisite ability stack/chain which is the big break that Hearstone makes from other card games.

The problem is the actual cards. They feel really under-powered and too straightforward to use, which creates a real skill ceiling problem.

Arena is the real draw to the game, at least right now. Can you imagine how much fun a constructed MTG format would be if you could just play cards from a single core set? Yeah that's Hearthstone constructed. Given that this is Blizzard I am also concerned they will have a hard time with card design at a decent rate of release. At least Crypto had guys I knew and trusted making cards at a good clip (the last set they released for their WOWTCG game was the best one they made, and they got monotonically better in design over time in the stewardship of that game, even recovering it from a Urza Saga level of design incompetence from Upper Deck).

More I play this, the more I realize that this isn't the game for me. Will still play the dailies and arena but am much more interested in HEX's PAD-style event model and PvE design, and much more robust ruleset. Half of the time Hearthstone seems to take the "super simple" route instead of the "kind of simple, but leaves things open to crazier things in the long term" route that may be healthier for the game.

I havent played a tcg game since high school (15 years) and this is a great way to play some again.

Think this is aimed at folks like me mostly, anything more complex to start with would alienate millions and only draw in the hardcore like you guys.

Cant wait to get home and play some more :)

I love the fact there is no padding and no pve here, that would really make me less interested in the game.

Hey TGC hardcore crowd: is there a point in me having a balanced deck with a fair amount 1/2 mana cards when you are guaranteed to have extra mana every round?

I'm thinking of cutting the numbber of 1/2 mana cards down to 4/6 max.

So ideally you would balance your deck around 3/4/5 mana cards? Since games prob won't last more then 10/15 turns anyway.

You want to be able to curve out and use all of your resources every turn.  You don't need as many big mana cost spells/critters as you do lower value stuff, but you need some, especially since that stuff is big and impactful and can win you games just by casting it.

For cheap stuff, look for things that aren't just vanilla creatures- you want a battlecry effect that's something useful (dudes who do direct damage are awesome) or taunters that can protect you.  Spells that produce 2 dudes, etc.  You're trying to gain more utility out of your one card than just having a dude.

Played for another 3 hours, so addicting!

Unlocked all classes and tried out the hunter.

Strat with my mage at this point is to try to control the board then mid/late game put out mobs bring the pain.

It will take a while to get to know all these classes.

Ugh, wish I was in this beta already, dying to try it out. Hex alpha is starting soon so that will fill my card game needs (and GTAV will keep me plenty busy until then) but I still wish I could fuck around with Hearthstone for a while.

The game is fun but really shallow... some of that is what makes it fun, but that doesn't bode well for it's long term success if it doesn't release more cards that do some more interesting things.

I'm definitely having fun with it but like Lager said, am not sure of the wisdom of sinking a shit ton of time into the game before the wide release since everything will be getting wiped.  Plus, I've got a crippling PAD addiction to deal with...

Maybe there could have been some more synergy and depth in the cards available now.

Doesnt seem like i will stay up nights making decks cause there isnt too much choice.

The pool is just way too small now.
