    At Bronze everything kinda works, as most people there don't even have all the cards to build any consistent deck.

     

    Okay thanks.  Um....so......what?  I'm losing to early game perfect draws most of the time.

    I'm getting beaten pretty badly at (bronze?) rank 3 while playing the Yasuo deck on the front page.  Perhaps I'm playing it wrong or this just isn't a good deck for this level?  Should I switch to an aggro deck?

    I am really struggling to make any progress at low ranks and don't have enough to craft these super expensive decks.  What do you recommend for low tier budget decks?

    You are kidding, right? the decks are really inexpensive the first one doesn't even run any champions,

    it runs 12 rares and 2 epics.. that's quite budget you can craft that easily..

    if you want to get as many rares and commons then level up each region in multiples of 4 you get a wild capsule at 4 and 8 and a champion capsule at 8 and 16 that's really the best way to expand your collection

    You can run the Mistwraith list without Hecarim, the third Elise and definitely without Kalista, if you have Thresh I recommend you to add them even if your only other champion is Elise, Thresh is good as stand alone unit, 3/6 challenger for 5 is amazing.

     

    I'm still a bit short on being able to craft the first one.  I spent a bit of shard on crafting https://outof.cards/legends-of-runeterra/decks/253-manus-zed-braum-ally-buff

     

    what do you mean by 'level up each region in multiples of 4'?

    I haven't played Hearthstone in quite some time but a 2/5 for 3-mana is going to be a real challenge to deal with, and the effect is self-supporting.  Seems like quite a strong card.

    I mean....to be completely fair, it's not like the deck is obscenely strong right now. It's quite clearly one of the best around, but far from eclipsing anything else.

    Also I'd rather they take a bit more time to actually think about what they're doing instead of just slamming the nerfhammer down for a quick and easy fix (look at the recent nerfs on Priest and Mage, one did pretty much nothing and the other one completely crippled the class...all because they wouldn't consider reworking some base mechanics)

    also, what do you mean "refuse to address"? They literally made a post talking about their plans, they just don't want to go "yeah sure, f*ck Divine Spirit, we'll rotate it next week and replace it with Power Word: Fart which gives a minion +1 Health this turn only" when they might just go about it a different way (Hint: possible classic set rework for Priest)

    quote from the OP:

    "We have some plans to remove DS, but it comes with some other sweeping changes. If we end up doing that (a big maybe) it will probably be around set rotation timeline"

    In other words, 'we know people have been complaining about DS/IF and Priest hitting you in the face with a 28/28 because you couldn't kill off a 7-health minion on turn 5.....we MIGHT do something about it (a big might).....in the next set rotation in April, 6 months from now.  fuck you guys, give us money."

    I quit Hearthstone and have stopped posting here but I feel compelled to respond to this.  Divine Spirit/Inner Fire has been a problem since day 1.  "We might do something about it.....in 6 months."

    Honestly fuck Blizzard.   They continue to give the middle finger to players and refuse to address large glaring issues in the game.  They don't deserve a single cent of anyone's money.

    I have an idea:

    Casual Mode - Netdecks are banned. Gold is not rewarded.  Quests cannot be completed.  This is purely just for fun mode.

    The thing with this is that net decks are fluid. You ban a bunch of cards and net decks move down the list. When do you draw the line and stop banning any form of deck shared on the internet?

    Also, fun meme decks have just as much potential to become 'meme netdecks' if they gain enough fun traction. In that sense such a format would become a double edged sword because then you'd start pruning out inconsistent, yet popular memes, straight out of the format because they potentially get net decked.

    How about 20 shared cards as a deck in tier 1 or tier 2 according to VS?  Or how about Blizzard publish their own tier list?

    Why do you hate fun so much?  Specifically, why are you so against ME having fun?  You've done that consistently on Hearthpwn and now you're doing it here.

    sex is great, but have you tried completing the rogue quest on turn 2?

    edit: lost to some topdeck bullshit.  im not allowed to have a shred of enjoyment from this game.

    You're not a better person for playing a worse deck in an online card game.

    Neither is anyone a bad person for rooting for the underdog or getting excited about some creativity.

    I don't think it's possible to highroll better than this in a Highlander deck.

    This community mostly seems good.  I'm hoping it's able to maintain how it feels right now when or if it gets much bigger.  I do like that this site isn't tied exclusively to Hearthstone.

    I have mixed feelings about this.  On one hand, I don't think it's a problematic card, and at 3-mana was grossly underpowered, at 2-mana feels just right.

    On the other hand, it's kind of gross tempo to play on 2 on a Northshire Cleric.

    Best nerf out of all of them!  I'm really sick of seeing Galaxy on 5. 

    This should be a fringe but fun card to play, not a game deciding card in a competitive deck.

    They had a chance to fix this.  They missed big time.   Barnes would still be played and a problem at 6 mana.

    This is good enough IMO.  No more Giant on 5, double Conjurer's on 6 because you couldn't deal with an 8/8 on turn 5.

    I'm interested to see just how much this affects the card.  A 2-mana increase is a gigantic nerf, but the card is incredibly strong anyways, so it might still be quite good even at 9 mana.
