Hearthstone?! (Blizzard online card game) - Page 1645 - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

It's not just that aggro is strong, the ladder benefits from aggro especially in the star phase. Pointless to play hour long control matches and win at 70% when you can win with aggro at 60% and play 3-5 minute games and get much further.

brings a tear to my eye that the stuff i've been saying for years is finally common knowledge

subtle brag because i got mocked for it in this very thread a year ago (and for saying that aggro is a problem)

I was getting the sense that with this new card set, aggro is getting nerfed but still viable. Blizzard wants the card matches to be longer or at least make it enticing to make it long with these valuable high cost cards.

Literally every new expansion is going to be the one where aggro is finally nerfed.

Power equivalent of 2 5 mana kazakus potions except you don't have to run kazakus and also draw three cards.

aggro gonna be great with all these slow ass cards being printed. He 1/3 warrior card is going to be the sleeper hit of this expansion imo.

It's not a good thing and the solution to a ****ty ladder system is not aggro decks, it's a better ladder system. It is astounding to me they've made no attempt to improve it.

What are the best of the online card ladder systems? Hearthstone is the only one I play.

I hope they never fix this bug.
I got so many epics and golden cards in my 21 packs.

Valeera the Hollow is the coolest DK revealed so far.

ESL doesn't dump you all the way back to the start. Not sure about other games.

Today was the first time in the Un'goro era that a shaman got a Doomsayer off Evolve against me.

apparently there's going to be a jade counter card coming out v soon. No idea what it's gonna be, maybe some sort of hungry crab for jades.

I hope jade decks aren't still super strong but with that new druid spell they probably will be, unless of course this new card is super amazing.

Probably

All I can speak to is that 8 hours ago I received legendaries in my 10th and 14th ungoro packs
And my 9th classic pack

Certainly seemed like higher than normal epics as well

Ive opened two golden legendaries today. I cannot even imagine what a ****ing mess of code their pack algorithm must look like because they seem to cause serious bugs with it very easily. And I assume this stuff is tested before it goes out???

Not complaining but i dont wanna get slapped with some goofy ban because i happened to open 60 packs during a glitch. For about an hour at 4am they shut down credit card processing I think because mine kept getting declined.
