Anybody still playing?
Expansion and standard rotation coming April 9th.
Double ooze seems to be the way to go for now. Also health restoration (Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Priest) or fast decks.Lots of warrior bomb decks right now. I'm trying different Priest decks to try counter it, but it's pretty rough sledding. With the right conditions I can have a pretty consistent flow of minions back into my own deck to help mitigate the chances of drawing a bomb, but it's pretty tough to pull off and there's still a luck factor involved. Need to work out the kinks.
Mech Hunter seems kinda insane too.Lots of mediocre decks always seem overpowered for the first few days of an expansion before the meta settles. As we've already seen, bomb warrior has been phased out by normal control warrior. Rogue, Hunter, and Druid are the best for aggro/tempo-style decks. Mage and Shaman have some niche potential. Mech pally has some good stats lately.

The game is getting more and more expensive. I had like 11k gold and bought the big pre-order package with the Druid hero. IIRC that's 110 packs plus the 80 from the pre-order (plus three more from their promotion events, yay). And my SoU collection is still far from complete (several epics and legendaries missing, dust almost down to 0 - before the recent nerfs mind you.Now I remember again why I don't play a lot anymore. 9 wins in arena and 160 gold. What the **** is that?

But I invested 80 bucks (more than a full game normally costs) plus gold from almost playing half a year and I still didn't get a full expansion. New players are already ****ed but I consider myself a "playing for fun" casual and yet a regular player who tries to do all dailies, the weekly brawl and finish each season between ranks 10 and 2. But I'm far from a regular Legend or 12-win Arena player who plays hundreds of games each season or month. Expansion prices are waaay too high and there are three of them each year.
IMO 80 bucks should get you a full expansion. Heck, even 50. If you want to collect golden cards or play single player content or have special class heroes, sure make that cost more on top. But spending like 200+ bucks worth of real money and in-game gold for 2/3 to 3/4 of a single expansion set is just ridiculous. And you get less gold for playing the game than, say a year ago (thru special events).
Edit: relevant video in this context:
It's happened to the government too, from Clinton to Bush to Obama, they thought that through engagement, China would embrace democracy. In reality, the exact opposite has happened and we've embraced censorship.Western corporations sold their souls to the devil and we're seeing the results of that more and more. If it was just them getting screwed I'd say too bad so sad, but Chinese control of these corporations has very negative affects for society in the west. Heads of states need to stop the PRC takeover now or it's only going to get worse.

Agreed and me too. I started playing Hearthstone day one, but a CA company suspending a pro for 1 year for expressing an opinion is very sad.I am very disappointed in Blizzard and have decided to delete my Blizzard games. Sucks because I really enjoy Hearthstone and have been playing it for years and spent a lot of money. But I just can't support such a **** company and look myself in the mirror.

Serious question. Do you support all the other companies that are backed by Chinese censorship? I have a feeling you do and just don't know about it. Why choose this fight but be a hypocrite and continue to support the other companies that are backed by the Chinese? ( I assume so since there are so many companies, not just gaming companies, that are backed by the Chinese. If not then excuse my assumption.)Agreed and me too.
