This is a thread for hearthstone discussion because I don’t want to clog up the video games thread.
Just went from diamond 10 to legend with this list, at about a 60% winrate. I conceded at mulligan to warlocks because that matchup is frustrating and borderline unwinnable.
The alexstraza is my innovation, it’s way better than illucia in the deck and gives you surprise reach that people never expect from priests. If anyone wants some tips with the deck I’m happy to give some. It was a blast playing priest again.
Subscribed. Congrats on legend again, particularly with Priest. I don’t have the time to climb very high, but Hearthstone is really the only game I play anymore. I’ll try-hard if I find a fun deck to climb with, but I mostly meme-climb now.
I usually hit legend. especially since they changed it to 3x stars per rank. This is my first time with priest in a long time, maybe ever. It was doubly fun because priest’s global winrate is 43% right now.
It probably takes 50 or so games to get a feel for the deck but it’s unstoppable against aggro, and very good against most other things. It struggles in control mirrors but with smart discovers and dragon generation you can do ok. Warlock is literally a zero % matchup.
Hearthstone is pretty fun. I’ve played a lot in past seasons.
I wish they would do something to make the stakes feel higher. In-client tournaments, or a leader board that qualified you for events, or something like this. I know I should just play and have fun, but I like at least having the illusion of working toward some goal like MTG’s pro tour, etc.
It does have that. It used to be if you placed top 200 at the end of a season you earn points towards the tour. It’s a little different now I think - I finished #44 in NA in november. Got my screenname published on their website and everything. Remember being disappointed at what I was gonna get (don’t think it counted for anything).
Needless to say achieving those ranks is… difficult.
And now there’s duels mode, which is sort of like a progressive draft but tbh is kind of frustrating, and classic mode. It’s gonna be around for a long time. The new team they got after that ben brode left listens to the community feedback a lot more.
I found the bones of this deck on hearthpwn but made tons of changes. It’s hands down the most fun meme-deck I’ve ever played and while this rank is no big deal I’ve climbed to Gold 2 just using it. The gist is you want Sir Finley in your hand asap. Then you want to get the hunter hero power so you’ll likely need to drop several Finleys until you find it. In the meantime you’ve been stalling with secrets and freeze so you pop off a few wildfires to make the hero power -4 damage to enemy hero (3 usually works fine and sometimes 2 can, too.) Throw down Bran and a Reckless Apprentice and laugh as your opponent figures out wtf you did.
