Any post ending in an even number or 0 will be a successful roll. Let's begin!

What's the best meta Hearthstone's had yet? I still think it's close between the Whispers meta and the LoE meta.

I think this is it. This is the expansion where Blizzard has finally lost me. Fucking the first card they show is some bullshit random damage card and then the keyword for the expansion is literally just straight RNG. I have always been a defender for god knows why. I liked the general straight forward design of MSoG and i've always shilled for the strong meta decks like Patron and Control Warrior cause I think those decks were fun to play. But Blizzard CLEARLY has no clue on how to improve their game aside from just making it just a million times more random for no goddamn reason.

hold me

after playing Eternal and Shitverse for a number of hours, I have concluded two things:

1) Hearthstone is fucking child's play to any REAL card game; the complete lack of interactivity and strategic depth makes every game feel shallow and repetitive

2) Hearthstone's sound, UI, and card design is absolutely top notch, far and above every other competing CCG in terms of aesthetics and ease of use.

Hearthstone is a shit game, but it's a beautiful piece of technology. Other card games are more engaging and fun to play, but lack the aesthetic flare and colorful feel of Hearthstone.

My main gripe with Eternal is just how bad everything looks. The card art is pretty drab, the fantasy/lore seems pieced together and incoherent, and the game board looks like a Fisher Price playmat and is too cramped.

The game itself is quite good, but it's hard to get pulled into a client that looks so uninspired.

>>169637626
You have to flip through like 3 screens in other games to get to your collection and start building a deck. Other card games also do this weird thing where all of the menu buttons are strewn across the top of the screen. There's too many icons and it's annoying to sift through them all.

Hearthstone is snappy, quick, and user friendly by comparison.

Shame about the gameplay.

So is JuG gonna be based or is it gonna be faced?

[spoiler/ Reposting because thread ended just after[/spoiler]
To all the anons saying requisites make quests balanced: This is a very interesting topic from a skewed point of view.

In real card games slow combos are a commitment because they require several cards to use up slots in your deck. Unless it is a simple one-or-the-other kind of deal like Werewolves in MTG, you usually have relatively high dead/slow draws and gimped archetypes when running these kinds of sequentials. But in hearthstone, shit spawns in your hand/deck. The Golden Monkey is a good example of people holding off to throw in the map so they could draw other cards first. This makes quests extremely easy to make overpowered, and thus we have one or two outcomes: Either the developers know this and quests are absolute shit until they print some band-aid deck-forcing card, or they're as retarded as we already know and we'll have to prepare for 40 minute games against every single fucking class.

Well, in theory that reduces the amount of "must-have" Legendaries, but I expect it to remain unchanged (one or two viable neutral legendaries).

>>169638976

Defias Cleaner is poised to become the best card in the game

>>169638873
actually what if these new legendaries or quests are actually really good
rather than getting say anub arak you get a quest to play a certain kind of shit, now theres a bit of flexiblity in that and people can slot in the various things they like and if the quest is pretty powerful such a deck can make a splash and the person can have like a medium effectiveness rather than a totally useless legendary

in that way it could actually be good. ofc it wont be top tier but a player unpacking one may be able to get a lot more value out of it (depending on what it is ofc) than when you just unpack something like krul or beardo

Defias is a pretty bad card, it's a super specific card to run and spellbreaker just does it's job better.

>>169639025
It just looks to function like Discover. Inspire could trigger it but Enrage can't because Enrage is a conditional passive buff. You could have 'Enrage: At the start of your turn, Adapt.' if you wanted.

I don't think it was mentioned that you can't stack Adapt buffs. For inspire I was thinking on the minion getting to stack Adapt buffs, same could happen with enrage, where the enrage itself is a conditional but everytime it triggers the minion gets an Adapt permanent buff.

Well that sounds too cheesy so it will never get in the game, whatever.

He does have a point about the current meta though. The original metas around naxx gvg and tgt all had various decks that had various edges and disadvantages over each other. Not like now where 90% of the match is decided by your matchup.

you're not seeing the big picture you dumb frogposter.

You're not supposed to analyze a deck's worth by it's matchups but by the whole metagame ecosystem.

Does your deck win against aggro and pirates? Does it lose against jade/dragon?

is aggro/pirates more than 50% of the decks you encounter? if it is, you WILL rank up by law of averages. If not, tweak your deck.

This is even easier because of rank streaks and getting more than one star per win.

>>169639757

Does anyone else think that the quest mechanic might be what control decks need in order to see a bigger spot in the meta. The biggest issue with control decks was that aggro is almost always better because there is no interaction during your opponents turn. But if this is a card you include in your deck, because it is always in your starting hand, it gives you a higher chance to draw the answers you need for aggro early, and depending on what the reward for other quests are, could give you a huge advantage.

My biggest problem with quests is that if the meta DOESN'T slow down, your turn one can determine if you win the game or not, even though Buckineer is getting nerfed, Rogue and Warrior still have solid turn 1 pirates to play, which will bring out patches and just kill you before you can even complete the quest.

But even if you don't choose to play it on turn 1, the game might not even slow don for you to waste one mana playing it, much less completing it.

Although only one was shown, other classes might get theirs faster and maybe priest got shafted again.

>>169639517
Yeah, definitely looks like you'll just pick 3/10 options each time and apply it. You could have "Battlecry: Adapt, twice." and things like that. Probably a weak mechanic, but inb4 a quest with a broken reward requires you to play Adapt minions.

>>169639658
Again, 'Enrage: Adapt' doesn't even make sense. If anything Blizz would make "Whenever this card takes damage, it randomly Adapts." or whatever. Not having to look during your opponent's turn is a HS appeal.

>Secret
>When a friendly Beast minion would be killed, instead negate the damage and Adapt

completely not understanding that the only effective counter to aggro, however marginal it may be, is garbage like Control Warrior which gets eaten by any deck that isn't specifically Pirates or Aggro Shaman.

Your game is broken when the best counter to the best deck in the game is just the best deck in the game.

You will not rank up playing a control deck in this meta unless you are a neetlord who plays for literally 8 hours a day and can que into enough favorable matches (read: dodge the Jade Druid scum). Even then it is not guaranteed.

>You have to flip through like 3 screens in other games to get to your collection and start building a deck. Other card games also do this weird thing where all of the menu buttons are strewn across the top of the screen. There's too many icons and it's annoying to sift through them all.
>blah blah blah blah
Shadowverse shows 16 cards per collection page. Hearthstone shows fucking 8, and each page loads more slowly. I don't fucking care how ugly the SV client is in comparison to HS, it's a billion times more functional for thumbing through your cards and brainstorming deck construction

hunter quest:
after 6 secrets played draw king krush from your deck, reduce his cost by (4)

i'm curious. why do netdeckers get excited about new expansions and card reveals?

Why do people act like aggro was this sort of omnipresent problem with Hearthstone when control decks have beaten out aggro decks for 'strongest in the meta' in way more seasons?

OG Beta Control Priest, Giants Mage, Wallet Warrior, Freeze Mage, Patron, Handlock, and Miracle Rogue have all been unanimous meta definers

The only aggro decks that come close are Release Face Hunter, Deathrattle Hunter, Midrange Shaman, and Pirate Warrior and two of those decks existed in face of Control Warrior while it was still at its strongest and brought to every tournament pre-Execute nerf

>>169640651
sv has to load a new page and its way less obvious what you are actually looking at
tabs are missing

with hs you can read the cards clearly, sort or know where you are pretty easily and go as fast as you can click

>>169638537
>the nerf will destroy pirate warrior
le xd

There is a reason why the only tier 1 deck that isn't going to lose cards is pirate warrior lelelel

>>169640794
because aggro decks are unfun

>>169640794
because aggro shaman has been the best deck in the game for most of the last 10 months except for the small period of time where it was ""dethroned"" by """"midrange shaman""""

also a lot of people just think of aggro as any type of curve shit so they also think of secret paladin and the old mech decks

>>169640794
It's hard to discuss aggro vs control without fedora or "brainless" memes. People feel worse against aggro because they almost never trade. The worst matchups in this game are always control vs aggro, either because control will always win when control is stronger (excavated/nova priest when first released), or aggro will win when aggro is stronger (dying before reno turn).

I challenge anyone to prove this wrong: the best matchups in the game are either control vs control, because you actually have to pick which removal/aoe/shenanigans you want to use to counter your oppoent's turn, and aggro vs aggro, because both players are so scared of being bursted to 0 that they start actually fighting for board presence.

On the other hand, combo is just too non-interactive because of the inherent nature of turn flow in this game (you cant do shit on your opponent's turn, and there is no instants/traps cards beyond secrets which mostly do things on your advantage, not their disadvantage.

>play pirate warrior
>still manage to draw the only 6 highest 4 mana cards out of the deck first 9 games in a row
life of the f2p

>>169640794
>Face Hunter, Deathrattle Hunter, Midrange Shaman, and Pirate Warrior
these are objectively more aggravating to play against because they have a high skill floor and a low skill ceiling. any drooling dumb fuck could pick up these decks and smash a more skilled player into pieces just by virtue of the power level of the deck.

those control decks that you listed were never as ubiquitous as the sheer amount of aggro scum that is on the ladder.

Control Warrior was unfavored against all of those decks(except for Freeze Mage), but never at the level that it is now vs Jade Druid scum, Reno shitters, and Dragon Priest kiddies.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I liked what they showed in this expansion reveal. I still believe that Blizzard is jew and that Hearthstone is a shit game, but that doesn't prevent me from seeing in your much too salty comments an unjustified anger.

1. Quests are the first real new mechanic in the whole history of Hearthstone. All we've seen before was cheap in comparison. For sure, it doesn't mean that Blizzard did something extraordinary here; they just did what we were waiting for since fucking beta. It's still great, or at least nice, after what we had in all previous expansions. For once, we can expect some change. Even if quests might not be correctly balanced at first, this will open a whole new dimension of gameplay for all future expansions.

2. Adapt is NOT, as people say, a GvG tier random mechanic; saying that is either bad faith or sheer stupidity. GvG offered true randomness, and the problem was not spare parts, but cards like Shredder. Adapt is a mix between spare parts and Discover. None of these mechanics were criticized for being game-breakingly random. Furthermore, Discover was always praised as an interesting mechanic that REDUCES randomness in Hearthstone. Adapt is for sure even less random than Discover: your whole set of options is reduced to 10 instead of thousands. Also, these options were tailored precisely to be equally powerful, unlike most Discover options. Adapt may be not the most interesting mechanic, but it certainly isn't too random considering what we always had in this game.

3. Volcano is not too random either. It is obviously a board-clear for when you don't have any minion on board. Dealing 15 dmg to enemy minions at random is most of the time equivalent to destroying them all. I don't see a single problem here, especially when considering the fact that it's just one card and that it may not be played at all.

Only valid complaints: the disappearance of old cards (which will be replaced) and the possible brokeness of quests.

>>169647543
Now you need +10 legendary cards because you need at least 1 for every freaking class. Before you used mostly neutrals with many classes not even having a class legendary used.

Look at the reno decks. Barely any class legendary cards. Look at aggro, Patches and Leeroy across 3 classes. Look at Jades, Aya across 3 classes.
Now? 1-2 neutral accros mulriple classes with every class having class exclusive legendaries. Got the Rogue lego? Too bad, now you need to waste 1600 on the Paladin lego and another 1600 on the Priest and 1600 on Hunter and another on Mage and another on Warlock and another... get the idea?

Neutral legos have multiple uses. Class legos have only one use.

The funniest part about the inflated meta legendary count is that they aren't even used after 4 months time.

Remember all that old gods shit? 3/143 are top tier meta

what's the problem? Sounds fine. Are you a warlock/priest by any chance? or another shaman? it makes sens to concede, especially if you're not rank5 yet. The guy needs to move on to the next match asap and rank up.

smart move.
can't believe you're complaining about your opponent conceding turn1.

leeroy is literally a perfectly balanced card.
he's not an auto-include 5 drop in any deck so there is no reason to shelve him.

>>169648191
It was in Arena. I shit you not. I'm a warrior.

>>169648158
they probably didn't want to rotate everything that sees play

>>169648171
cmon anon you know what I mean. A truly skiless game is no fun.

Like, who fuck plays monopoly? There's no skills in that, you just hope to get on the right spot and hope that your opponents gets on yours after. Might had been fun when we were younger and didn't fully grasp how skilless most of these games where like snake&ladder.

I don't even play this game anymore. But the amount of active cards Hearthstone had at any one time has always been pitiful compared to any other card game out there.

More cards means that(Maybe) you'll see more meta diversity. Assuming they keep the spread good like it was in MSoG.

pick one

if I don't have a complete classic collection should I just buy classic packs with gold

or should i keep discounting gadgetzan packs with arena (I already have most good gadgetzan cards)

So do you need to unpack the class quest cards? If yes, this shit is just fucking ridiculous. You might as well concede if the opponent has it and you don't if all the triggers are as simple as the priest one.

Fucking bullshit.
