Hearthstone

With Pogo Hopper being buffed to a 1-drop, I believe this now offers a lot of flexibility and possibilities for building a successful Pogo deck.  It's less the fact that you can and will play PH on 1, but the fact that it's faster to combo with cards like Lab Recruiter and Daring Escape.  

After trying out some ideas last night, here's what I would consider to be "core":

• 2x Pogo-Hopper
• 2x Lab Recruiter
• 2x Shadowstep
• 1x Myra's Unstable Element
• 2x Witchwood Piper
• 2x Togwaggle's Scheme
• 2x Backstab
• 1x Zilliax

I'm still undecided about which draw engine(s) are best.  We could add a couple of Preps and Auctioneers.  We could add Thalnos and Acolyte of Pains.  Probably want to add at least one FoK.  Last night I was trying out 2x Daring Escape but two might be overkill.  There's also the possibility of Sprint and/or Vanish.  Lastly, because this deck can take a few turns to get going, we need some early survivability.  That will either be through spell removal (like Walk the Plank) or contesting the board with tempo oriented minions, like SI:7.  

What are you all playing with?  What are your ideas for resurrecting this deck?  

It's weird but I largely only play one class. And it's the same class I play in WoW - paladin. I know that makes no logical sense in a card game but ... every time I dabble in another class I just don't enjoy it. I also know it limits my ability to be truly great at this game. But for whatever reason I enjoy playing pally and only pally.

Any other single-class Hearthstone players out there?

What are your favorable/unfavorable matchups?

I'm having tons of fun with this deck, I suggest to try it before Carpet get nurfed lol

With the patch it appears that all heroes have "complete crowns" for all wings of Dalaran Heist even though I haven't completed runs with them. I know there are some bugs with today's patch.  I know its a super small bug, but has Blizzard mentioned it yet?

Hi, 

Dont you know why android didnt get patch? Im online on my phone without any patch. Seems weird since PC players receive it yestrerday and HS is cross platform. 

Thanks for answers. 

Seriously though, I was wondering if anyone has tried anything new with token druid yet. Like maybe something mech focused that uses Snippy. I haven't had a chance so far, but if anyone else has tried, I'd love to hear your thoughts. That's all!

Is the update for rise of the mech on mobile live already? So much talk and hype on Sn1p-Sn4p, i can't wait.

Will this site be supporting innkeeper? I think that was one of the best hearthpwn features, being able to see what decks you can make with your current collection. Otherwise the "dust cost" value of a deck is pretty much meaningless since most people only care about how many cards they're missing.

How consistent have you found the card as a stand-alone or as a combo? I'm mainly asking hoping that as a combo it isn't too problematic in hopes that Mechwarper doesn't end up getting nerfed in wild.

Hi, I wanna use my Amazon coins to buy the Masters bundle. I'm trying to log in on HS downloaded thru Amazon App Store, running in an Android emulator. HS closes and says there is an update available, please tap to update. But in the Amazon App Store there's no update available yet. It says HS is up to date. How long does it usually take to carry the update after it goes live?

So I've been messing around with the idea of dual type shaman decks for a little while now (I originally got the idea from the player "Heeljin" so props for that, and also for teaching me the value of magnetic).

There's loads of ways to do it, this is just one of them. 

I have one here that is part elemental/overload and part mech. It also has a slight token flavour to it, and by that I mean it is sticky. We have ways of making token death rattles, which is a very valuable ability in this meta. Soul of the Murloc can be added to make the deck even more sticky, then when combined with electra too, forget about it, something is sticking around to get buffed next turn for lethal.  Ideally though we want mech adds or elemental adds for this deck to take advantage of the synergies for buffing. 

other things I considered adding were things like hagatha the witch, although I do feel this deck wants to win before then. also maybe adding the new murloc would be great as having 2 activators is enough really to get value. Do you think Hench clan hag would be better than amalgam considering the token/buff/evolve aspect of the deck? (I honestly think amalgam is great here at getting a target to stick for magnetize, as they aren't expecting you to stick a mech on it at all. It's also a great target for earthen might)

anyway, the main goal for me here is to make something of my own, that is fun and has interesting gameplay, but also wins. I know the deck is viable as I've been playing renditions of it for over a month now, I'm just interested to see what other people think, and maybe learn a thing or 2 from each other. 

here is the link to my new version anyway. thanks for your interest, it's always appreciated (especially the negative comments. we can't learn from our mistakes, if we aren't even aware of them in the first place)

I have 2 EVIL Cable Rat cards in my arena deck. Neither is triggering a lackey when I play the card. Wish I'd known before making the deck!

Im soo happy guys, this is the best news ever!!!.

Lei Shen skin is the G.O.A.T

Just now my opponent played Tuskarr Totemic, and he did not get a token. and another game today, my opponent played EVIL Cable Rat and did not get a lackey. has anyone else noticed these missing tokens? or have I gained some super powers which stops my opponents from getting tokens?

Figured we should have a thread to share tips and strategies for the latest and IMO greatest solo adventure. Having a lot of fun with this one despite lots of losses! After hitting my head against the wall trying to beat chapter 1 on heroic, I finally managed it using an odd deck I didn't think would work. 

Class/Power/Deck: Mage, Burning Wit, BURN!

Treasures: EVIL Propaganda, Scepter of Summoning, Crystal Gem, Hyperblaster

Started trying to go for an inspire deck since you'll get lots of use out of the Burning Wit hero power, but after getting Scepter as my 2nd treasure I went for big minions. Ended up with a nice mix of big spells and legendary minions. Managed to get lucky and pull EVIL Propaganda as the spell to reduce cost in one of the bartender stages, and had a "reduce random card to zero cost" proc on a Sunreaver Warmage. Most fights were over quickly thanks to lots of removal and early play of big minions that were hard to deal with like Sneed's Old Shredder and Rhonin. 

Can't remember who I had for the first 6 bosses, but the last three were Ar'ha, Noz and Gallywix of course. Here's how I handled them:

Ranger Ar'ha was easy. I let her fill her board with 1 and 2 attack creatures, didn't kill the coin cache, and just went straight for face with my higher attack minions. She went for face too, but with such low attack minions she couldn't kill me first. Seems like her AI isn't coded to sacrifice her weak minions to make room for stronger battlecries.

Noz Timbertail was a tough fight early, but I managed to steal his board which included Shaku, the Collector using an early EVIL Propaganda. After that I played Giggling Inventor to protect Shaku and kept stealing his rogue cards which were great for keeping his board clear. I managed to get an Ogre Ninja which got the +2 attack from his hero power and that sealed the game.

Gallywix was very difficult. Had to be careful and play around his hero power by making sure the first card I played each turn was one I didn't mind him copying. Probably very obvious strategy, but when you play a regular coin as the first card he will copy that and replace it with a Gallywix coin. Helped me get out some good minions early. Ended up stealing a Burgly Bully with Sylvanas Windrunner later in the fight to gain some extra coins to bait out his hero power.

Hope this is interesting and/or helpful. Look forward to seeing other folks post their strategies! I'm working on Chapter 2 Heroic right now, will post back with more if there's interest.

So I wanted to try out some deathrattle stuff especially with the coming Necromechanic buff.

The deck has a slow start but powerful mid to late game so it struggles versus aggro as expected.. I plan to add powerful cards to it too.. so craft Sneed's Old Shredder , Sylvanas Windrunner or N'Zoth, the Corruptor ?

I think this mage deck is a good enough tier 2 deck. The winrate i have with this deck until now is 7-1. It allows you to swing the game tide probably every time on turn 6 or 7, sometimes even turn 5. It has good control and grinding tools against aggro decks in wild. Not sure about the matchup with big priest, but sylvanas will help you win these games. The deck has a lot of healing, freezing, armor gain tools which allow you to get in turn 5 usually without a problem.  After the buffs today, you could also add Luna's Pocket Galaxy for extra spice and maybe change the deck a little. As many conjure's calling decks this allows for many manual modifications if you want. Check it out and i'm open to any ideas. Deck ID Not Found

Hey all, I'm in the middle of brainstorming an idea for a new deck, specifically for the Buffs that are dropping today. I love the idea of a Pogo Hopper Deck, but I don't know if there's enough card that synergize with it to build a whole deck around it. I've got the ground work created, but I'm open to any/all suggestions! Thank you!

Every time there's a rotation in arena, the arena gets locked down way in advance. Presumably to prevent people from 'abusing' the compensation mechanism.

I have a pretty good run going, currently at 8/1. I want to keep playing, but it might be that afterwards the arena will be locked and I won't get the free ticket/pack. I feel that I am unjustly punished for actually playing arena.

People who play no arena can leave a run open for several days, they don't care. Still they get their free ticket+pack. This compensation mechanism is rigged towards the abusers.
