>>387317754
On a semi related note I tried Gwent, it seems too complicated to be fun for casual play.
Not colorful, full of eye-candy either. (It's nice to play with a controller though).

It seems like a game where you need to know a good portion of the card pool by heart to win tricky combo games, and there are ONLY tricky combo games, no straightforward curving or anything.

>>387317754

I watch streams once in a while and i swear to god, half the games are against jade druid, even after they specifically added a "fuck jade druid" card

As for the other card, i like that one that let you make custom unit (DK rexxar) and the one that summon random legendaries

So far so good. I reckon Druid will slowly peter down as the expansion goes on and people refine their decks more. (Priest shits on it with velen combo)

Mammoth is shaping up to the best year of metas so far.

Ultimate Infestation also answers the age old druid question of "So you ramped up and now are 10 Mana turn five but out of cards"
In one swoop it kills off most relevant minions your opponent can play by then, heals you a bit, generates a decent board presence and refills your hand

Playing my Reno Value Mage in wild is the only fun I have with this game anymore

This card has never been better than right now.

>>387323527
That's because you can't make cards that dominate just a single deck and expect people to use them.
You can make cards that dominate specific strategies, such as old BGH or Reno, but not specific decks.

>>387323540
I've found the greedy decks with a few tech cards like Ooze's and Geist to be the most valuble so far. Going full combo could mean less succes against Jade druid as I might never draw my DK in time.

It's shit

it seems really cool, still waiting on my favorite streamers to put out some youtube videos though

>Alright guys, what if we took a class that's already really powerful, and added a card that completely mitigates their biggest weakness?

>>387323913
Rule of thumb: It it has a random effect, its a legit Hearthstone card.

>>387317754
I've been enjoying it but as a Paladin player I feel completely helpless against Priest right now. They have ez 6 mana steal your Tirion again, and the ability to just casually deal 8-14 damage a turn in their Raza decks.

How the fuck can you even play a game this random without getting a heart attack from all teh anger. That card literally costs 2 and fucks any kind of strategy you planned. Glad I stopped playing after a month, playing dice is less random than this shit.

>>387323974
>Kripp is shit in the most boring and repetitive game mode
Yeah what a shame.

>>387324109
Nah, devolve is pretty much just 2 mana silence all enemies.
It's not even that good except against specific cards, I only run one in my decks.

>>387324109
It fucks buff decks more than anything but it's just 1 out of 9 classes so the odds of facing it are slim, you just have to take it in the chin when you do.
Pretty much the same with all ccg's

>>387324092

>>387324092

>>387324121
>i like random: the game mode
I want to see what the cards can do in the hands of a player that knows how to build a deck, like firebat or strifecro

>>387324109
Yeah, you're right. Devolve is probably number one on my list of cards that should never be allowed to exist. It's one thing if you want to pull that evolve shenanigan on your own units, but don't fucking touch mine. Let me play a game free of ridic rng for once. That card is from the Mean streets of gadgetzan expansion, which also introduced a bunch of other really stupid cards with high variance like Barnes. And let's not forget Patches. I hate that expansion so much. Ruined the game for me. Together with the One night in Karazhan adventure. I might play against when those 2 rotate, but until then, at most I'm just doing my quests and staying as far away as possible from the game.

>>387324253
Arena is controlled randomness. It's not all about luck, else players like Kripp wouldn't consistenly do good in the leaderboards.

Arena by far requires the most critical thinking and on the spot strategy.

>>387324323
Well they'll both be gone by April, it'll be interesting to see what Shaman becomes after that.

Play the brawl every week, do quests, possibly learn how to play arena. I'm a completely f2p player and I have a few decent, if cheap decks.

>>387324496
Reaching the leaderboards means beating thousands of other players doing the exact same thing, meaning there's more to it than just drafting well.

>>387324496
You've never watched him draft an Arena deck have you?

If you did you'd know he goes by heartharena tiers 2 thirds the time, he uses it so his viewers get an idea of whats generally percieved as good.

Gwent gives you 1-3 packs a day for simply playing the game unlike like in hearstone where you have to grind quets for days to buy a single pack.

>>387324681
I don't think the Druid's DK is the problem, it's just all the endless taunt buffs. But even then I haven't been that impressed by Druid, since Shaman's devolve and a lot of Paladin's kit destroys their taunt walls.

>>387324705
The only way I could see a card game working without card draws is if both players had their turns at the same time but how the hell would you make that?

the difference isnt as large as you think. Kripp is good at games, that doesn't mean anything for arena itself. He's good at path of exile too. Wouldnt say that makes it any good. The merits of one player dont hold up an entire game mode.

not him but how do you take advantage of randomness? Hell fucking Pavel won the tournament just on a lucky draw from the mage book that gives you a random spell. And this is not the only time somebody won just based on luck, there is no way to play around it

>>387322787
do people not run silence any more? everyone used owl when i played

>>387325263
It's amazing to me how many CARD GAME players complain about randomness. Imagine actually thinking that arena is not skill intensive.

>>387324856
infinity wars already did it, simultaneous turns that is

>>387325507
They bumped Owl's cost from 2 mana to 3 making it completely useless in terms of tempo.
The 1 out of 4 games where itr got you victory mean nothing when you're forced to draw an understated card.

>>387325484
Owl got nerfed, they have tried to reduce the prolificacy of silence effects.

>>387325484
Brian Kibler has an interesting video on this. He points out how Pavel had an insane record outside of those famously lucky games.

>>387325484
>"how do you take advantage of randomness?"
If you are making this question you must have the attention span of a cat on LSD.

>Arena
>Win
Feel shit cuz you just played on curve better and didnt get punished
>Lose
Feel shit cuz you didnt hit curve or could not punish the opponents

In the end, its all about how lucky you get in the draft for getting your curve on point and having good picks. After that you could just put on a bot and there is no difference.
So its perfect game mode for casuals

>>387325484

the fact that you think you can take RNG out of card games and still have a working game means that you have been infected with reddit tier RNG-hate aids and you probably play league of legends while shitposting in dota 2 threads about how void has a 25% bash that sometimes procs too many times in a row

Assuming you don't get the "win 7 games in any mode" quest every single day, you'd need to get a 60 gold quest and then win 12 games. Depending on your rank and deck that could be easy, but it's still rather time consuming.

>yeah and every other strategy game has a 2d or 3d plane that you have to constantly interact with
what do you think "tactics card game" means? As far as I know tactics games are on a 2d plane. And library play does so much more than just remove RNG, it allows for more flexibility and migates bullshit deck matchups, because it removes the concept of dead draws, so instead of your aggro deck being only an aggro deck, you can decide to play aggro depending on how the game goes, while good deck construction mechanics would prevent your deck from being able to do anything and every deck being the same. A card game called Codex has a half/half version of this, you've got your hand, library AND draw pile, and every turn you shuffle two cards from your library into your draw pile, discard your hand and draw that many +2 and shuffle your graveyard into your draw pile whenever the latter is emptied, so counterplay is at the level of ingame play, not deck construction. You can remove unwanted cards from the circulation by playing them as mana sources.

and I'm not saying that drawing cards is crap either, but it's not something that has to be standard, and part of what I want from a tactics card game (creatures being weighed more heavily towards health than attack so you get more time to play with them) is not that compatible with the standard method of card drawing, (tanky creatures require a more restrictive cost to play them or they'll flood the board, and if you can only play 1 guy every 3 turns then standard card draw will flood your hand, so you remove card draw altogether)

I still play and love like, 5+ card games with random card draw

just FYI the kind of game you want would only have one viable deck

People still play Hearthstone?

>>387328008
I see no reason why that should be the case unless the developers are terrible at balancing

The fact that you think you -can't- take RNG out of card games proves that you only play incredibly terrible games.

There are hundreds of perfectly viable games with no or low amounts of luck. Abstract games like Chess or Go or modern euros like Concordia, Agricola, Puerto Rico, etc. If a game is still stale due to a lack of RNG, it's because its a shitty game with no counterplay options.

I might stop after this expansion. They finally did a Lich King theme which was all I ever wanted, so I'm not sure what else they could do to get me excited.

Rotations was a mistake. Now their core design philosophy is to just force specific themes for classes and then once that gets rotated out, they replace it with a single new team. The end result is that the classes all just play either a style of deck they've had since the beginning of Hearthstone, or some sort of gimmicky deck they've been forced into. A good example of this is Rogue.

The rotations don't really make much sense either. They said some cards were hindering design space or were being overused, but they also balance the game with Wild in mind so clearly that isn't an issue. If cards are being overused, that's what nerfing is for or adding new cards that fulfill other niches. The spell damage from Azure Drake was hardly relevant for a lot of decks that ran it. It's sad Blizzard could never figure out a five drop that would be as useful for non Mage and Rogue decks.

Gwent's fucking great but I wonder how the meta will evolve in the long run

>>387328367
Hell I played through the entire MSoG meta and ungoro was delightful, but this expansion is so boring I finally stopped
Why not go and print full retarded cards after this point instead of trying to salvage it with most borign and mediocre shit

One of the worst expansions so far. The RNG has been dialed up even higher with every single non aggro deck running Lich King. Games are determined by random pulls from it. Druid is way busted and Priest is not too far off from him either. Death Knights were a horrible idea because a lot of matchups boil down to cycling to try to get your DK on curve. Just like with Quests they are trying to force playstyles onto players and adding cards that support that playstyle. It is hindering creativity and also a very blatant attempt at pushing the meta to be exactly how they want it to be.

>>387328935
Azure Drake was fucking strong in Shaman too.

>>387329130
I'm sure Lich King's omni-presence will be dialed back in a month once everyone gets over the novelty of the expansion and goes back to pirate warrior.

you feel like shit but you take those 12 wins

>>387329162
Yeah it was. My point still stands though that there was no reason why so many decks ran it except that there were not a lot of good five drops. Rather than figure out how to make good ones, Blizzard just swept it under the rug.

>>387329260
I feel like the only deck I can win games with right now is Pirate Warrior. I'm not a professional streamer so I can't afford the insanely expensive decks out right now. I main Rogue and the class has never felt as awful as it does now. Blizzard's push toward control decks is such an obvious means of trying to get people to craft a shit ton of legendaries that will get cycled out, thus forcing them to do it all over again.

>>387327671
Try exodia mage
its one of the most inconsistent decks I've ever playing but it's pretty fun when it goes off

No better feeling.

Well new cards are getting added in like a month or so, so we will have to wait and see

>Blizzard's push toward control decks is such an obvious means of trying to get people to craft a shit ton of legendaries that will get cycled out, thus forcing them to do it all over again.
That's one way to look at it. Another is that people hate playing against constant go face aggro decks that beat you by turn 5 and Blizzard is trying to change that.

I agree that Rogue feels bad and I'm not surprised Rogue players would be feeling bad about this expansion, but honestly I've never been great with Rogue so Rogue always feels bad to me.

>>387329693
problem with deathwing in constructed is that its more of a dead card given everyone has some form of removal or kills you before you can play it

yeh it fucks with druid, but so does that new 6 mana

>make aggro decks inexpensive
>make control decks insanely expensive
>make the whole game blatantly pay to have more than one viable deck in a meta
>wonder why everyone plays aggro

>>387330131
People play aggro because they want to win faster as well, not only because the decks are cheap. Winning one 4 minute game with pirate warrior is more appealing to some people than losing a 30 minute control match up against freeze mage. I saw someone complaining the other day that the meta was so slow now he couldn't poop and play any more.

>>387326750
when did kripp do this i would like to see. Kibler elf has went full ass kisser and it started when priest was complete trash and they let him do the reveal for the over powered fucking dragon priest cards.
