would be playing against friends an option for you? If playing fun / control-ish decks is a mutual agreement, maybe your experience would be better :-) I'm playing on EU, mainly in the evening (around 20:00 CEST). Send me a PM if my idea appeals to you.
Nice, I’m really looking forward to it :))) will we get an achievement for joining during the hearthstation era? I think you mentioned something at the time...
Oh and thanks for getting the messages online! I’m already having a cool conversation in my message box without troubling the whole community with it. The site’s getting better and better
Hit Legend in Standard and wondered if I could do it in Wild.
Laddering in Wild made me remember how much fun it is to queue against a class and not know what every card in there deck is based on their first turn. Sure you have Big Priest and Odd Rogue but I'm playing a ton of decks I've never seen before and it's great fun. Currently at Rank 4.
This. Once I hit that goal, standard felt stale. My problem is that I previously have been 100% sure to never play wild and therefore dusted all my wild cards. I'm an idiot, I know.
The plan is to craft Kovachuts priest deck and one or two cheap aggro decks (probably mech hunter and/or murloc shaman). I will probably play both standard and wild for a time but slowly switch to main wild.
Thanks for your replies! Both have more than 1,5 GHz. Huawei comes with Android 8.something, Samsung with 9.0. I think I will check out which one gives me a better feeling and let my gut decide. Both of them will do their job
Hey folks, I finally decided to get myself a tablet for Hearthstone and Skype sessions. After reading several tests I narrowed the search down to the following two:
Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019)
While the Huawei has 3 GB Ram and the Samsung only 2 GB, the tests say that the Samsung’s processor is better. All the other specs are roughly the same or close enough that I don’t care. The price is identical for the two of them.
Could any of you tell me if Ram or processor power is more important for playing Hearthstone and / or report from their own experience how content they are with either of the tablets? That would be really great :)
Maybe we could use this thread for future hardware recommendations, so people who seek advice don’t have to start a separate one every time a similar question arises.
Imagine a somewhat oversized, bearded fairy appeared, hollering “Well met!” and granting you a once in a lifetime chance of 3 hearthstone related wishes. What would you wish for?
Here are mine:
1. Change the dust economy. Disenchanting a card should reward half of its cost in dust. That would lead to more possibilities for everyone, hopefully resulting in more creativity. Furthermore, people who like golden cards could now get one for every eighth card of the same rarity they dusted, which sounds fair to me.
2. Make solo content available offline. I would love to be able to play solo adventures on a train or a bus without having to rely on a working internet connection. Often enough, the latter is not a given thing. Being able to play offline might significantly increase the time (and maybe even number of) people played hearthstone.
3. Abandon “time-walls”. While it is possible to craft or obtain every card in the game if you invest heavily enough, there is no way to compensate if you missed out on an expansion release or an event offering hero skins. I understand that people paid heavily for their mega bundles and don’t want the hero skins to be given away for free to everyone, but why not add them to the shop for let’s say double the price of the usual hero skins? I would certainly be intrigued by the prospect of getting Madame Lazul for 20 €.
Since I’m not sure if my wish number 2 is technically possible (how much storage would be needed?), I’ll sneak in a joker: I want more cosmetics. Give us something to do after obtaining 500 wins. Give us entry effects, emotes, pets, diamond borders, whatever.
Now what would be your wishes? What are the top three things you’d like to change?
Oh, I haven't bought the Heist so I couldn't know that. But at least in my runs, it happened they could have avoided lethal and just ignored it. Like, they have 10 HP left and I finished my turn with two minions who have a combined sum of 12 attack points. My opponent had one minion on board and the "destroy a damaged minion heropower". So, instead of sacrifizing his minion and kill one of mine with the heropower to prevent lethal, he went face, played some random cards without any impact and lost. Similar things happened when I threatened letahl and they used to burn spells to go face in stead of killing my minions... Really stupid AI it seems.
I don't know... looks like Ungoro all over again. That is, 1 quest ends up completely broken because people find a way to abuse it (caverns), 2 or 3 are okay-ish Tier 2 (waygate, fire plume) and the rest is for the memes. So far the new warlock quest seems okay (maybe it helps Control Lock to become a thing again), the mage one is for funsies only. And honestly, I don't like so many legendary cards being not competetiv, they are too expensive for that. Don't get me wrong, I like to play fun decks and even took a marsh queen deck to ladder last year because I pulled a golden copy from a pack. But in the end most of us want to play the well performing cards and getting those is harder when there are less of them. Hopefully the rest of the new quests are better and / or get enough support to find a place in the meta.
Very often when I make a post using mobile (Safari), the last symbol disappears once the post goes live. Letters seem to be fine, but points, exclamation and question marks get eaten.
Editing the post afterwards is no problem but an inconvenience. And at least when I end a post with a question mark I feel a need to do so because it just looks wrong.
Some things make it look like it isn’t completely thought through, like they had not enough time to finish it before going live. Just my experience from a quick try out with all classes:
1) Warrior is way to easy
2) It took me 3 tries to beat the first boss with priest. It was so awkward, I just didn’t seem to find a win condition. After that, it was (too?) easy again.
3) It happened several times that I threatened lethal with my minions and instead of clearing them, the boss went face with his minions (while I was completely out of range for him to kill me).
I have read some tests and since I can't afford an iPad I came up with the idea of getting a Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10. Good rating in all categories, the price is okay-ish (180-200 Euro for the Wifi version).
I know about the google ban but there is a dedicated website from Huawei which guarantees further use of android software, apps and updates.
So my questions are:
1) Does any of you know of a better tablet for Hearthstone and Skype for 200 Euro max?
2) Does any of you know more about the risks of buying Huawei stuff regarding the google ban?
I had this issue this morning (Europe, between around 06:00 to 11:00 CEST). News Posts on the front page and pretty much all the links to decks lead to this error. The only section working was the forums. It occured on mobile (Safari) and desktop (chrome). Since about 12:00 CEST everything has been running smoothly.
It’s a bit off topic but I would be grateful for any useful information about tablets for hearthstone. I prefer apple, too but would consider other devices nevertheless.
I can’t get this deck out of my head. So I calculated the cost for me: I would have to spend all my saved up 8.000 dust and disenchant 8 legendarys (the useless ones I won’t play anyway, expansion cards only). This would be quite a blow for my future possibilities in standard... So... could you answer a few questions to help me make up my mind?
1) I saw screenshots of you reaching rank 4 with the deck in the pepper thread. Is it possible to get to rank 5 with it on a regular basis?
2) I have no idea about the wild meta, but obviously big priest is a thing. How good is this deck against them and other other popular meta decks?
3) Could you please use your fortune telling abilities to predict if there are major changes coming to the deck? I don’t want to invest so heavily just to have 4 new legendaries added to the deck with the new expansion.
Edit: 4) Why no chameleos
Thanks for the guide again, if I should craft the deck, I’ll probably print it out. I’m a priest noob, I’m afraid
I’m sitting on 3.5 gold and 8k dust and my problem is that I’m considering switching to wild. I’m in love with kovachuts priest dec and if I should really craft it, that would eat all my dust and then some. So... I’m basically waiting for the reveals to make up my mind if I should preorder and which one.
Awesome! Mobile is so much better now!

What do you think?
Really cool brawl! I did it with warrior on first try in 28 minutes.
Can we check anywhere how far we've come towards the card reveals?
Looks really strong to me. I somehow have a feeling an overload would have been adequate.
I have read some tests and since I can't afford an iPad I came up with the idea of getting a Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10. Good rating in all categories, the price is okay-ish (180-200 Euro for the Wifi version).
