02/27/2019 11:32 AMPosted by splintertwinYet again a serious post laughed at by the few who think the titanic will never sink!...Did you read the entire post? I'm not convinced it was serious.Also, pretty sure the myriad of downvoters didn't read the entire post either. Or maybe they are just hard to amuse. Tough crowd.

02/25/2019 04:23 PMPosted by krab777LMAO it happened again! I didn't play any minions this time and he gave his hyena windfury. I play tar creeper to contest, and of course the 1/1 rushers are in his hand and he manages to have a 10/6 by turn like 4. Beyond dumbThere is your problem. You spend exactly zero resources to try to establish your own board, and your only response to his board is a minion that is extremely passive in nature, rather than anything that actually impacts his board.That is exactly the scenario where Hyena is really good. You are essentially saying, "I want to be able to d…

02/25/2019 09:09 AMPosted by Lemminkäinen02/25/2019 06:49 AMPosted by SweetTexas77COME ONTHIS CARD LITTERALLY INCREASES ODD MAGE’S WINRATE BY 25%Huh? Surely this cannot be true. I mean, that's a completely ridiculous number, right?A certain interpretation of this is almost true, although misleading. And I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't appreciate being called "Shirley".The card's "played win rate" on HSReplay is 67.8% (in Odd Mage), compared to the deck's overall win rate of 56.6%. That is a 20 percent increase, but nowhere near a 25 percentage-point increase, which is how most people are going …

02/24/2019 09:15 AMPosted by PafTo the people who dont comprehend the issue...you are obviously playing a deck that has no issue with it. But open your minds and use them. You sound like rich people at a golf course..." I dont know why these poor people just dont spend the two thousand dollars a month on health care to cover their familes...dont they care about their families?"When I jump from deck to deck class to class...sure some have it easier when dealing with a 10 6 on turn 5... When I play odd mage I have no issue usually. When I play secret pally I have an issue.Just because something …

What deck are you guys playing that has such a problem dealing with Hyena? Even the decks that really want to play minions can deal with it just fine.Miracle Rogue, Even Paladin, Rush Warrior, Odd Rogue, Odd Paladin, and Zoo should be able to handle it. (Zoo has a hard time if it falls behind on board, but that is always true for Zoo, and they should start out ahead on board a lot of the time.)Even Shaman has plenty of ways to deal damage from an empty board, and the Aggro Shaman I've been playing certainly has no problems with Hyena.In addition to all this, it is one of the few cards remaini…

02/23/2019 06:06 PMPosted by krab777Actually, i'm playing hagatha midrange shaman. It's literally defensive early game and lich king/ big minion elementals late game. It's completely off meta. In theory, i should be favored vs that matchup. However, i never win vs them.I've been playing Dragon Inner Fire Priest, Miracle Rogue, "Pirate" Miracle Rogue, and some kind of Aggro Overload Shaman. None of those have a problem with Hyena.Are you playing Thunderhead? It's fantastic at taking back a board from a Hunter. I'm running Zap, Lightning Bolt, and Voltaic Burst; if I get a Thunderhead down, and …

02/22/2019 01:37 PMPosted by SmeetTo be perfectly fair... the fact that this card draws specific cards from your deck does make it a hell of a lot stronger in practice than a typical "draw 3."Targeted (restricted) draw can range from crazy good to laughably bad, depending on what it gets.Tol'Vir Warden was always terrible. Elven Minstrel is pretty good in Miracle Rogue, but it would arguably be much better (for THAT deck) if it just drew 2 cards. In contrast, Minstrel is incredibly important in the new Deathrattle Rogue (since the entire game plan hinges on getting big deathrattle minions into…

02/22/2019 11:10 AMPosted by VriskaIsloveHaha not only 3 mana draw 3 cards, he can now transform into AN !@#$ing powerful control deck with only 6 mana Rexxar, HOW THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEIA TO MAKE THAT, an already powerful aggro can turn into an powerful control, this doens't make ANY sense, it's the perfect deck, no downsides at all, it doens't even stop there, he %^-*ING clears the board with Rexxar dealing 2 damage for ONLY 6 mana, it's !@#$ing disgusting. Aggro decks should remmain aggro decks and control decks should remain control decks, not be the 2 at the same time and sti…

02/21/2019 10:40 AMPosted by pimpandaThe card would sort of make sense if the cards added cost what they should?It would be laughably bad in that case.Having a 40-card deck is worse than having a 30-card deck, in almost all circumstances. This is because you lose consistency. Even if you could create a 40-card deck, it would be a terrible idea if you were trying to be competitive. For example, MtG has no deck size limit (if you can shuffle it), and every single competitive deck in MtG is the minimum 60 cards.This gets exacerbated when the cards are RANDOM, since they are very unlikely to syner…

Most of your arguments are missing the point. "Pay-to-win" is not a binary distinction in a digital card game where some stuff is given away for free. It can't be done that way. So you have to use some kind of sliding scale.Hearthstone could conceivably get more expensive to play competitively (within, say, 3 months, counting either money or time), and it could also get less expensive. It's probably best to just compare to whatever else is out there.In my experience, HS is still less of a commitment than MtGA or Eternal. And it is clearly much cheaper than paper MtG (not that this is a good co…
