I've been playing a lot lately. I've got passed 10 for the past few seasons. Haven't tried to seriously grind to legend yet.

I did it a year ago and it's just not fun. And not really worth it for just a card back.

I know it's a grind. I've been sitting around 8 for a few seasons not really trying to push it, but I figured summer is the best time to try before school starts. It's more of a "I really want to go that far".

Right now, I'm switching between control warrior and handlock.

Otherwise, I've crafted and have a mage-rdomo grinder deck, frost mage, zoo, demonlock, and patron.

Speaking of which, the majordomo grinder mage deck is probably the most fun I've ever had playing HS and I used to play mill for giggles.

Highest I've achieved was Rank 4 last season. I'm pretty sure I can make legend but it is not much fun and I tend to play more for fun than pure achievement. I still intend to make Legend but don't expect to try for it anymore after that.

2 of the craziest games I ever saw on ATLC between Neirea and Zalae. First is Freeze Mage vs Patron. Patron won by fatigueing out the Freeze (he slammed his own 4/1 warsong at one moment to free up hand). Next game Zalae played Shaman and basically killed Mage by Doomhammer and couple of burst spells

I play almost exclusively Arena in Hearthstone, and buy almost no packs, spending gold on only Arena and new adventures. Additionally, I don't disenchant extra cards unless Blizzard buffs/nerfs them, because I don't particularly need the dust (my collection from packs is good enough to build most decks I'm interested in.)

This means I have a lot of extra dust bankrolled in cards. Today, I hit a milestone.

Damn son

I'm only at 7745, though I have disenchanted a decent number of cards already

KingZog3 · « **Reply #2237 on:** July 25, 2015, 01:04:36 pm »

I'm at about 5000 but have crafted most of the legends and some epics I need.

markusin · « **Reply #2238 on:** July 25, 2015, 01:27:37 pm »

I have next to no dust saved. I usually spend it on Epics, and I haven't been playing too much these days. I just recently crafted Mal'Ghanis for my, uh, slightly-higher-curve Zoolock deck that they're calling midrange nowadays. He's not a game-winner by any means, but he pulls his weight. Against aggro, Mal'Ghanis is like a super-big body Healbot that can be summoned by Voidcaller.

Second golden hero. Shaman! I now have Warlock and Shaman. My next goal is either mage or Warrior since they are both at exactly 297.

Congrats! I'm still working for my first (Druid).

Gak! Win streaks are no longer rewarded with extra stars once you are at Rank 5. Grinding to Legend really is a horrible slog!

Yep! You didn't know that? It's awfully slow after rank 5.

Here I am rank 23, still trying to scrounge up enough gold to buy an Adventure.

Why is it that the expert Innkeeper is so much tougher than actual human players?

The expert Innkeeper is actually really bad at playing, but he does have some non-basic cards which can have a large impact even if he's throwing them out almost at random. On the other hand, most of the opposition at rank 23 isn't so hot either, so your observation is probably correct.

The adventures are (in terms of gold value) over-costed compared to buying packs, so if you plan on ever spending money on this game then just buy Naxx and Blackrock Mountain and save your gold for packs or arena runs.

What sort of deck are you playing?

Jorbles · « **Reply #2245 on:** July 27, 2015, 02:05:22 pm »

If you never spend money on cards though, getting Naxx is a good early choice for playing constructed because you are guaranteed to get lots of really strong cards. Sludge, Creeper, Unstable Ghoul, Loatheb, Nerubian Egg, Shade, Death's Bite, Death Cultist, Chow, Mad Scientist, Deathlord, Avenge and Kel all make appearances in strong constructed decks (some of them are considered essential cards). The quality level of the cards is pretty high. Just getting 35 packs might not get you as many good quality cards.

I just opened Blingtron 5000. The amount of funky combos I'll have access to as time goes on has shot up dramatically. Sweet!

Oh man, I've been using Blingtron in my Savagery Ramp Druid deck and it's hilarious. Doing stuff like Blingtron > Claw > Savagery > Acidic Swamp Ooze is sooo satisfying. Just crafted Harrison Jones a couple days ago too.

It's a shame I don't have much to work with for Ramp Druid in terms of big minions. Not a single Ancient of Lore or even of War. I can still do token and Taunt Druid at least.

Hey, I was just wondering if Combo Priest can be a thing now with Thaurissan + Velen + Mindblast and stuff. A quick search online shows that some people claim to have success with it. Priest already has quite a few ways to stall out the game already. I have the pieces build something like that myself, so I guess the best way to find out it's strength is to try it out myself.

I was also playing around with a Dragon-style Priest deck similar to Ashersky's, but with edits like no Drakonids or Faerie dragons. It's fun to have beefier minions than usual as a Priest.
