How do you even win in this mode? I'm 0-14 right now. What's the strategy?

edit: 2 hours later finally got a win. This mode is stupid.

 

edit 2: honest to god whats the strategy here? Just hope to get lucky?

Keep in mind:

Quote From Lazerbeans

Really interesting you should say that, because Swim just brought a Deep deck without Nautilus to a Twitch Rivals tournament and placed first. I thought a Deep deck w/o Nautilus sounded absolutely crazy, but turns out it does pretty okay, at least in a tournament format.

I have to say: I am enjoying this "Spirit Blossom" event a lot more than I thought I would. When I first read about it I thought it sounded fairly underwhelming, but I just spent the past hour diving in and its really reinvigorated my enthusiasm for LoR. Even though content-wise its "just" a new lab, new quests, and new …

I love this card.

And also: its entirely too slow so don't actually play it and for the love of C'thun don't craft, and have tissues on-hand for when it gets silenced / polymorphed / hex / devolved / poofed away. But still: gotta love that flavor. Many a meme will be had.

Is this the first no-text class card in the game?

Warsong Commander

jokes aside there's also Fearsome Doomguard (unless you consider his demon tag "text")

[card]Blazing Battlemage[/card] and [card]Dire Mole[/card] might be more apt comparisons. (Former has beast tag; latter has none)

Quote From OoklaTheMok

It's always curious if Hearthstone will support a mechanic forever like Discover or pretend it never happened like Inspire. 

I think it entirely depends on the mechanic. Discover and Rush seem to be now so ingrained in what we think of as HS, plus they are probably a huge design crutch as …

Watching that Cinematic Trailer, yesterday's predictions of a light-hearted "Harrypottersque flair" seem dead on. Good job to everyone who saw that coming.

Quote From Ushinomimi

Was such a pain back in vanilla days, ugh...

It's real problem was that it was an instance with a true audience. It was originally designed / tuned for a 10-man raid for levels 55-60, yet it only yielded rare quality gear and there were a number of tricky encounters which could …

Quote From CursedParrot

What if L2 Jinx were given something like “Last Breath: Draw 2”? That way she would refill your hand after you were forced to dump it, and your opponent can’t totally destroy you by destroying your Jinx when you have an empty hand.

That's a pretty good idea actually

Is Heimerdinger so problematic at the moment that it needs a change? I don't really play Ranked that much. Haven't seen awfully lot of him in Normal mode. I know Riot plans to change some of the Turrets, and I'm curious what they'll end up doing.

Anyway, for me the last one is overly …

5 years, 7 months ago · on Heimer Rework Ideas

It's interesting. They definitely overstated the "cards based around the champions you picked", however--its just random cards from those regions. My first game, I drew/kept Nautilus + Malokai expecting to get a bunch of sea monsters and toss cards, but actually both champions got no support and were unplayable. Meanwhile "always good" champions like Zed, Draven, Katarina, and Hecarim just …

Quote From linkblade91

Glad I checked Out-of-Cards before I went to bed: I was sitting at level 4, so I played two Labs and a couple AI games to walk away with that free champion card :D

Ditto. Thanks, Neon!

Update: got my first Fiora--woot!

It's an icon (i.e.., that circular image of a yeti / poro / shark / etc that pops up above your champions when your match first starts).

Assuming PC client: go to the Home menu, click on your current icon (top-left, next to your gold), and a menu should popup with all the default icons plus what you've unlocked …

How you can add a friend?

Assuming the PC client:

  1. Log in to client. I usually do this from Home screen, but I think any screen other than an active match works.
  2. Click on the icon in the top-right that looks like 2 hooded figures. A sidebar will popup

In general, I agree with the sentiment that "cool" cosmetics should be cash-only. Honestly, I am at a point where I kind of feel bad I haven't given Riot any money yet: I've been playing almost daily since open-beta, have nearly all cards, and am enjoying much more than HS, yet I've given Blizzard ~$100-150 over the years and Riot …

Quote From Vandaren

Yeah i probably will play every other third day just to clear quest like you said, thank you good mate!

For me, letting go of that urgency to clear quests was a huge milestone. I know it feels a bit like leaving money on the proverbial table, but look at it this …

5 years, 8 months ago · on Dealing with Sunk Cost Effect in HS

Essentially:

  1. Create a list of all allied units that have died so far this game and order them strongest -> weakest
  2. If you have an open slot on your board, summon a copy of the next unit from that list and give it ephemeral
  3. Repeat #2 until either your board is full or the list is …

Honestly, the fact that L1 Jinx only has 3 HP disgusts me. Seriously: let's compare her apples-to-apples with [runecard]Yasuo[/runecard]:

  • At L1, both are 4 mana, 4 attack with quick-attack
  • L1 Yasuo has a constant passive skill; L1 Jinx is vanilla--essentially a [runecard]Academy Prodigy[/runecard] with +1/+2 until you level her up
  • Yasuo can level up even when …
