Wow, that sounds like terrific luck! Happy for you. I think I have just 8-9 total legendaries in 140 packs (and that includes the free one on login + 2 pre-orders). The last couple expansions have not been good for my legendary pulls (averaging around 1 per 30 packs).
I was able to start a run today before the expansion release, while normally they would close Arena by that point. So maybe they really cancelled the resets. Oh, and I was not able to play more than one game, because EU arena matchmaking is broken. Maybe they just don't give a damn about arena anymore
Sure, if you build one or two top competetive decks, you can achieve it (but still only one or two).
But if you want to explore the game and play wacky decks, you cannot do it, because the cards are extremely expensive and also you will meet only very competetive decks as people mostly do not have resources to put together fun ones.
So yes, if you play netdecks only and it suits you, MTGA is fine, if you want to explore the game deeper, you cannot.
In paper magic you can get the "bad" cards extremely cheap, in MTGA a very bad mythic costs you the same as the very best.
This is true about crafting 'fun' cards. They are the same expense as a tier 1 card. However the same is true for HS. My experience so far is that budget decks are easy to put together. You can get a lot of mileage out of common and uncommon cards, and I'm overrun with white and silver wild cards. Gold and epic are another thing entirely, and as I said I have been annoyed ever since old school magic that the needed lands for top tier are always rare.
This is one area that HS is actually better than LoR. HS rope is not much different than LoR if the person is roping to be toxic, but at least it doesn't give an afker 15 goddamn bonus trolling seconds every Fskin PLAY!!! We def need shorter play rounds in this game. No one should need so much time per turn, and when the bar is gone, you get no more plays. Also, remove the option for autopass. This needs to be automatic and mandatory. If you have no plays, the game passes the round.
Back after a pause. I think that odd and the more wiered even hero power mage is more efficient. I have loads of fun with Genn shooting decks into oblivion. Very powerful against aggro decks too.
Seeing how Druid has only gotten a single bad card in this expansion (while getting back Innervate and Kun basically) I don't think Druid supremacy is too far fetched
Due to quitting halfway through last expansion I only had 3700 gold by today and was only able to offer a total of 43 packs....which apparently isn't even close to enough to get all rares seeing how I'M still missing a whopping 22.
Could have sworn that last expansion it only took me around 50 packs to get them all. Oh well, guess I'm gonna be opening at least 22 more packs in the coming days....that could take a while.
I'm only putting this here too because you specifically asked. :D
This expansion has been so great to me. In the pre-release, I opened 135 packs and got 13 total Legendaries (4 of which were Golden). I still have my 2 Golden Legendaries to get (from the 2 pre-orders), the 1 free Legendary for logging in (please not Star Student Stelina. I want to Golden Craft her), and the 2 other Legendary cards that are supposed to come as guarantees in the upcoming bundle. With buying that, I will have obtained 18 out of the 25 Legendaries and the expansion will have JUST released. 6 Golden from pre-purchases. Sorry, not trying to come across as bragging. I've just never been this lucky before with any expansion, and I've been playing since League of Explorers. :')
So: Scholomance Academy is out, and with it, a new meta is here. People have finished opening their packs and are trying out their new cards on the ladder (or going Face Hunter). Is there any deck that you found nearly unbeatable or unfun to play against?
Anything like Day 1 Demon Hunter or Galakrond Shaman?
Personally, I've been playing Soul Fragment Warlock and I've found it impossible to win against Druid after even one Survival of the Fittest. It turns all trades in their favor for the rest of the game. An aggro deck may however succeed well against that archetype, and people are posting all kinds of crazy Turn 1 Gibberling plays.

Thanks for the new collection tracking plugin feature.
I did all was described in the Configuration Instructions, had the collection sync toast in HS and my collection is showing on the site, in the "Edit Your Hearthstone Collection" part. All seems to work perfect.
But when I list a deck on the site, the "Your cost" value is still showing full cost, and for every deck.
I paid for the 55-pack preorder and had a great run. 7 legendaries in 83 packs plus the 2-goldens for logging in. I'm most excited about getting Omu, Mozaki, Gandling, and Polkelt.
This also marks the first time where I did not mass disenchant my extras. I went through manually. There are just so many powerful cards that might be nerfed. I hung on to extras of at least one card in every class. Are Shield of Honor or Blessing of Authority likely to get nerfed? Probably not, but why not wait a couple weeks to see how the meta shakes out. If Gibberling gets nerfed I'll have made bank with my 9+ copies. Golden Voracious Reader? I'm keeping that.
thought LoR is a place where players can't be f**** a****, however it becomes for whatever brainless reasons more and more popular, that players wait each and every round until time (nearly) runs out to make you quit. they won't be automatically marked as "toxic/afk" because they don't wait until time completely runs out to make their play. I understand in some rounds you need time to go through all the options, but not EVERY ROUND!
we need an option to report those players ingame. i play unranked and experience those situations at least twice a week, can't imagine how hard it is to deal with such idiots in ranked....
In HS this does not happen often to me but it helps to rope them back
Personally I wouldn't recommend that. I tried that trick once and it didn't stop the roper from roping me. Seeing, that I was going to waste too much time in that game, I continued playing normally, while the opponent still roped. I lost like 20-30 minutes needlessly (and I am not talking about the duration of the game itself).

I made sure I didn't. I am actually missing quite a lot. Guess I got a lot more epics than extra rares in my packs.

When I first counted my missing rares, I overcounted because dual class rares show up twice.

Yep. Hoping they fix this. It has always been a reset before, we were rightfully expecting another.

Well, as the title said:had an unfinished Arenarun, which is now still open. Anyone experiencing the same?
2 hours later - what's the new "cancer" deck?
My own Quest Dragon Fragment Warlock beat the one Druid I played against, but I don't know for sure that they were a Survival of the Fittest Druid.
They certainly never drew a Kael or SotF that I saw; they might've just been a Spell Druid.

That Mage OTK deck with Mozaki is annoying. Draw entire deck and being able to deal 40 damage by turn 7 :/

I don't know, just enjoy the first week until the real cancer decks flood the lader.
Hero Power Mage
Hi
Back after a pause. I think that odd and the more wiered even hero power mage is more efficient. I have loads of fun with Genn shooting decks into oblivion. Very powerful against aggro decks too.

It won't let me enter a number so I have to buy them one by one. Am I doing it wrong? Usually I just click on it and it offers me to select a number

Let's hear about those packs!
I paid for the 55-pack preorder and had a great run. 7 legendaries in 83 packs plus the 2-goldens for logging in. I'm most excited about getting Omu, Mozaki, Gandling, and Polkelt.
