It takes a while to get what you want.

The thing is that playing arena is fun as hell so it doesnt feel like a grind. Its not mindlessly clicking attack like in Diablo.

i still think it's a pretty boring card game, having half of your card pool being playable by every color translate into seeing a lot of the same cards, there is lot of junk commons, and thanks to how the game works deck that focuses on beating down the opponent quickly are all the rage which is why this is the second time they've been changing unleash the hound in a desperate attempt to have games that last longer than 5 turns... seeing blizzard doing this nerfing dance every month or so instead of introducing new content and cards is also pretty annoying

the nice things about it are...

1) it's got amazing presentation with every card you play having a come into play quote, an attack quote, a dying quote and such...
2) with the rate you gain in game currency for free you can buy a card pack every 2 days which is a nice rate especialy considering you can only put 2 copies of a card in your deck at best so it feels like you can play the game even if you don't want to spend or spend as little as possible... not to mention they give you a huge pool of good starting cards to try different type of decks where another TCG would simply tell you to fuck off
3) thanks to the wonder of being a computer game instead of a TCG it features the sort of effect that would be hard to do with real cards... like there is a card that let you create copies of card your opponent plays, or a card that let you kill an opponent card and then summon a completly random unit

i wish they would finaly decide to launch hex to see if this whole F2P TCG can be done properly but they are still fucking around and not launching even after like a bajillion month from the projected date  :snoop

Lost my arena play today due to the iOS update. Just as I was finishing my 4th win the game lost connection and forced the update. I'm so po'ed right now, I didn't get shit when I went back into arena. My wins are counted though...  :maf

Crafted Ragnaros today.

Brings my Leg count to 7.

Too bad one of them is Hogger :( I have no idea when Hogger would fit in a deck.

What's to hate?

Some dude had me totally on the ropes, and kept flushing my creatures, even using Assasinate on those common Ape critters. So I was at 4HP when he was still at 24, but I managed to boost the shit out of one AND get two of those cost-7 Pit Fiends on the floor. Boooooom.

Dude had THREE of them in his deck. I'm not very experienced, but I thought 5-points was a bit much to one-shot a Minion. If he'd saved them for Pit Fiends rather than using them on monkeys, he'd have won.

Just feels like sometimes there's nothing I can do to win. Also, I seem to win 3-4 games every single time in Arena. Keep hoping I'll have one run where I do especially well, but no. :(

I did 7-3 with my last Arena deck. It was a pretty bad combination of Rogue cards, commons with either the windfury or taunt skills, and a single Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

That ranking is a nice crutch when stuck but it really depends more on how you know the game before you do arena. Have you been playing ranked and play mode for a while before starting Arena runs?

Mana curve is important but only to a degree, id always pick more 3/4 cards then 5/6+, unless there is some horrible choice.

This month I only did 5 runs so far and my average is 6.2 wins.   I didn't even use those websites cause once you've played enough you know which picks will make sense.

Anyhoo that site seems a bit weird with how they talk about heroes, they put priest over druid when thats clearly not the case for arena goes.

Think win % go like rogue, mage, paladin, druid.

I've played a bit of the game. Not nearly as much as someone who has played for 6 months. The picks usually make sense at the time for me and then I just blow it somehow in the game  :'(

And that site does not put Priest over Druid.


    Tier 1 (Excellent): Mage
    Tier 2 (Great): Paladin, Druid, Rogue
    Tier 3 (Good): Warlock, Priest
    Tier 4 (Average): Shaman, Hunter, Warrior

Made it to rank 7 without really trying with my Zoolock.

Every pack that I buy is full of dupes now :( 30/40 dust :(

Meta game is pretty boring the higher you get but in casual you come across cool decks.

It's the faster way to get cards for constructed play. I've only been playing Arena mode and after all this time I only have two legendary cards.

Arena takes forever and you are kind of commited to doing it in one sitting, at least thats how I feel. Also my arena average is around 6 now. So lets say I get 100 gold and a pack. That means that im up 50 gold right over normal play right? Not really! Cause if i win 6 games in play mode I get an extra 20 gold. So im only 30 gold behind while not having to do one concetrated sitting. Games in playmode are usually faster too.

You get a legend one every 20 packs or something.

I have 6 now

This game finally got it's hooks inton me over the past week. Playing on the Ipad for some reason feels better than the PC (the first time I tried it).

I'm really having trouble breaking away from using Mage all the time. I can win 75% of the time with her, but when I try Shaman or Druid, I'm lucky to win 20% of the time. The mage is just more fun to play, almost pure offense.

I haven't got a chance to really grind out a lot of ranked matches. I got to 19 with mage, but got beat back down a bit. Usually the daily rewards are pulling me into using characters I haven't played yet. So, I spend most my play time there.

Like last night, I only needed to get 2 Druid wins and it took me 7 matches to do it. lol

Noob question here, but I've been earning about 80 gold a day. Should all that just go into buying more packs for the first few months of playing? Or should I be doing some arena play once in awhile?

It seems to me it would be more efficient to do the arena once you have a wide selection of expert cards at your disposal.

arena is basicaly a draft mode, you pick a class out of 3 random one and then build a deck by selecting random cards out of batchs of 3, so your card selection really doesn't matter, and no matter how much you win or lose you always get a pack out of it, but of course if you win a lot, you also get more reward and assuming you win a shitload it's totaly possible to break even, so the question is "do you think the extra 50 coins are worth the risk of getting more stuff/not playing constructed?"

Yeah, what you own has no influence there.

Buy packs if you dont play that much, arena is good for earning cards but only with a big time investment and a 6+ win average (better yet 8)
