Playing ranked or unranked just gets too frustrating as I haven't, and won't, sink the time or cash into getting the best cards. So I get matched up 7 times out of 10 with a player with a card I can't beat with regular cards and it just becomes frustrating.


like Secret Paladins?

Just finally ground out my 700 gold this morning. This adventure is great. Best ~hour of Hearthstone I've had in a while. I beat all three bosses with my Warlock deck, though I scraped through Temple Escape with exactly one health. The djinni is amazingly replayable, and I rolled Phaerix by turn seven.
With the class challenges, Phaerix put up a much better fight, and I came through with 8 health. In the Warrior challenge, I discovered an Iron Juggernaut (along with E.T.C.), so I got him down to exactly 10 health, then stalled the game until he suicided with his double draw.
Now I'm gonna try my hand at Arena, see if I can raise enough gold for each expansion.

New Tavern Brawl is fun.

EDIT: What the fuck? Just played with a friend and he got a lot of legendaries, all of them good ones as well, while I got nothing! Maybe because he just bought some stuff?

EDIT 2: Nevermind, this Tavern Brawl is bullshit. Everyone gets good cards to pick from, I get the shit cards no matter what class I play.

I have determined unearthed raptor is great. Deathrattle Rogue has been performing very well.

Just don't try to bounce your raptors on each other to stack deathrattles. It makes your client crash, and as soon as you restart the client it crashes again once it reconnects.

Huh, I had no problem doing so. I raptored egg and then raptored the raptor. 3 mana 3-4 deathrattle summon a 4-4. Not too shabby

Wing 2 in general has some amazing cards. Personally, I'm looking forward to use the shit out of Keeper of Uldaman and Brann doublecry

I've hit a wall in Hearthstone.

I've improved enough to get past rank 20, but now I'm facing much better/expensive decks that I can't even break through with the cards I have.

It's infuriating to lose against a Control Warrior every other game and have no way of dealing with it.

Control Warrior?

I think the best counter is a reformed traditional Shaman deck (not the ones that focus on bursting the enemy down with spells but the ones that focus on spamming the board with totems and Thunder Bluff Valiant).

I would imagine Priest is a strong counter.

Basically if you play a deck that runs out of cards very fast (ex Hunter or Mech Mage) you are likely to do poorly. But if you force the Warrior to waste his removal on free minions (ex Paladin summons or totems) then you are more likely to outlast and outplay him.

Skyping in my friend after the Tavern Brawl, telling him that the only card I need to finish Control Warrior was Alexstraza, told him I was going to get it.

GOLDEN LEGENDARY

Golden Alexstrazaaaaaaaaaaaa

I hope she gets nerfed when Wild/Standard gets released so I can get 3200 dust.

I don't have that one.

Right now I have over 4000 Gold in my account but I have no idea what to really spend it on. I mean, at this point I pretty much only play one main deck (its a Demon Zoolock).

Doesn't look worth it, I'd just save a bunch of dust.
