I played some gwent and it was fun for a while but I couldn't stick with it.
The graphics didn't feel very interactive, Hearthstone does this better than any digital card game I have ever seen. The cards are round and have a nice personality to them (no, I don't mean the flavor is good, I mean the way they are shaped and the way they feel to play them). And one big thing that makes Hearthstone stand out from the other games is the setting, yu know where you are when you go to a different screen. When browsing your collection you feel like you are flipping through a binder, on the home menu you know you are in an inn looking down on the game board, and the background sounds in the game feel like you are playing with a person. Gwent has the same problem that the other games have, it doesn't feel fun and lively.
I hate the reward tree, so, so much. I just hate it, the whole concept of the reward tree. It takes 12 years to get through it all, and you know that you will never complete the whole thing so you have to plan ahead. But then after playing the game for 4 months I start to find this new portion of the tree appealing and I have to start from the beginning again. Plus, after you have been playing the game for a while you will get less and less free stuff. After playing the game for a year you will count yourself lucky to get 2 points on the tree a month. I just hate everything about the whole reward tree concept.
No RNG does feel refreshing sometimes, but the thing is (and I don't think a lot of people will admit to this) but RNG makes games more fun. When there is no RNG, the game gets repetitive and boring quickly. When there is no RNG, pulverizing matchups become so much more pulverizing. If my deck is not favorable against your deck, and we both play perfectly, then I will lose every single time and there is nothing I can do about it. It sounds nice on paper, when there is no RNG then you will be rewarded for being smart and making good strategic decisions, but in practice it doesn't work out as well. RNG helps bad players have a chance, plus, RNG does reward smart players. Imagine if there were no RNG in Hearthstone, then once someone found the 'best deck' then you could potentially write a perfect guide on how to pilot this deck to win every game. And then it doesn't matter if you are good or not, you can win every game because of this guide. RNG puts you in a position where you will have to make your own decisions, and sometimes you will have to change your game plan to accommodate for this unexpected thing. RNG is good.
If you're still about, I recommend the solo adventures. It will be a few thousand gold all-in to buy them, but they don't usually have any roping to them. Plus, if you quite the game (or idle out completely), it will reconnect right back into the turn you were on.
The cards tend to be less applicable to constructed play, but the general mechanics is the same.
Nice one. Thanks. Do you know some new decks for the Lich King?
What classes do you need to win with? If you don't care about winning with all nine and just need one win then jade druid is pretty good. He will destroy all of your minions that cost (3) or less, so you put in Jade Idol, some ramp, some draw (Gadgetzan Auctioneer is pretty sweet) and a lot of minions that cost < (3).
For marrowgar, just use some random warrior deck with Frothing Berserker. I easily won on the first try with a 32/2. And i didn't spend a single dust on it(i think that expensive shaman deck is unnecessary).
It's not that expensive if you played recently, as most of the legendaries were free.
How do you keep the berserker alive to get to 32 power?

I tried the Nozdormu + Ysera Unleashed combo, where you could skip your opponent's turn by having the dream portal animations use all their time.
Wait, how does that work? Do you play Ysera unleashed and then hope your opponent plays nozdormu? Or do you try and get both Nozdormu and Ysera off of random effects and then do some weird something or other with Treachery as a warlock? Or . . .?
Nah you dicount either Ysera or NOz with Dreampetal, have an Innervate ready and then play them when your deck is empty. Then you wait until the rope is almost done and play Excess Mana that you got from Wild Growth at 10 mana. The ensuing 9 portals will skip your opponent's turn.
I'd be wary of doing that. Intentionally abusing animation issues like that is a surefire way to get the ban hammer from Blizz.
As for the OP, that is one of the stranger bugs I've heard of.
I like the solo adventures, but have never been able to make a dent in the Frozen Throne. If you haven't played it, the computer hero heals back to full every turn, so you need to deal 30 damage in one go. Holding off some rather large minions whilst trying to build up 30 damage on board is difficult without expensive OP cards.
Simply invoke and trade until you have Galakrond, the Tempest and Kronx Dragonhoof in hand. This means that on the turn after playing your Galakrond, you will have 2x 8/8s, a 5/2 weapon and 5 direct from Kronx - which is 26 damage. If you've managed to keep a taunt from Shield of Galakrond or Dragon's Pack, then you're good to go!
So i would like to have more friends in hearthstone so i decided to make a thread simply looking for friends.
here is some of my info and if you are also looking for friends you can post it here too.
Also happy holidays everyone

I was surprised when i logged into Heartstone this morning there was nothing going on for Christmas...really thought they would atleast give away a free pack or something.
Nope. You all are getting the last hint right, but ignoring the first 2. Yes, the 2nd line actually means something. OG is used here in the sense of “original”

Galakrond C'Thun Double Cultist Warlock
This deck looks so horrible but so fun to play.
Thanks for sharing your crazy innovation :)
I will definitely try it out.
Anyone else play Innkeeper a lot?

Use the Invocation of Frost and Faceless Corruptor to slow things down and keep the board clear.
You don't need Barista Lynchen or Shudderwock. If you don't have them, swap them out for invokes or taunts to slow things down.
