Oh yes, it's good to get lots of 2-3 drops.  Just don't worry too much which ones they are.

I find 3-drops to be pretty inconsequential if they're not Harvest Golem or Scarlet Crusader or Cleric (or one of the Warrior-only ones). For the most part, a Raptor trades 1-for-1 with most 3s, so if you get late in your draft and have no 3s, it's pretty easy to fill it in, since a lot of 2s are just as good as 3s in a most situations.

Heh, with all this hearthstone buzz, and since I don't really even play dominion anymore, I finally signed up for the beta. Hope I get an invite soon.

I'm not planning to be any good at it, I don't really want to get deep into the strategy like I did with dominion, I hope their matchmaking is good enough to match me up against other people who don't know what they're doing and don't have any fancy cards or whatever.

Three drops are slightly more important in a deck that's running low on two drops, though.  Coin lets you cheat and skip 2 drops if you're player 2, and you only have to "burn" one mana.

^Right. But the point is that 2-drops can play the role of 3 drops much more so than any other value n can play n+1, so you really don't need to press for 3s, particularly early in the draft.

I still play this game a bunch, what about you other guys?

I am really trying pretty hard to get a full collection.  It takes some grinding but it's achievable even as a f2p.  I hate playing a game where I can't use any option I want, whenever I want, so I'm working on changing that

I found myself with suddenly less time, and HS just kinda fell to the wayside, especially since I have another CCG currently in Alpha that I kickstarted.

No, no, I just backed it on KS.  Not my creation.

I'm playing. Mostly arena, but every now and then I try my luck with a Rogue constructed deck. I have tried some Priest controlly stuff and a Freeze Mage, but I think Rogue is the most fun to play.

Same here! Been extremely busy though so I don't know when I'll have a chance to play. Also, they told me that I may have "missed the original email." No. There was no email. They also told me that I was never signed up for the beta. Wrong. Clearly, since they've flagged my account for access now. Anyway, I would have loved to play a bunch when I actually had time.

I'm still doing a couple of arenas a day.. not playing too much constructed.

For some reason, I'm very adverse to crafting legendaries because I know how bad it will feel if I later opened that legendary.. even though I have about 5k dust to work with at this point, so I'm not far off from getting whatever deck I want.

I'm in now too! Won my first ranked game.Still haven't played anything except mage.

Also got that bs about "missing the email" which never happened.

I'll probably buy one pack so I get in on the special golden legendary thing.

Don't buy a pack!  Buy an arena run!

You'll probably run out of gold at some point early doing arena because it takes a little bit of time to figure out exactly what's going on... buy an arena at this point!  Gets you the legend as well.

Yeah, this is definitely a better way to get the gold legendary card for spending money. (you get a pack per arena run anyways)

I was the same way. Banked up over 5k dust before finally deciding to start getting legendaries. But then the dust starts going fast... Much faster than you could pop legendaries from packs

I used to be really good at arena, but now I suck.  The arena playerbase is evolving over time, probably.

Same to me.  I used to routinely get 10+ wins.. now I'm happy with 7.

I did go 12-0 for the first time the other day, though!  Paladin's quite good when you get truesilvers and consecrates!

Truesilver stacking is the reason i think Paladin is the best class for 12 win runs.  When I was on game 11 of my twelve win Warlock run, I fought this Pally that broke all sorts of deckbuilding fundamentals, but he had 3 Truesilvers amongst the cards I saw, so that's how he got there.
