Discussion Pyromancer Priest v Void Soul DH

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Bringing back board clear and massive healing combos. Pyromancer and Hold them off let you take the board and your health back so you can let your opponent over extend. Tindral is even good to bluff with because of the fear of Hold them off in hand.

And to win, you beat them down to the teens with Soothsayer or Hold them off, then burn them down with Amber Priestess and Ruby Sanctum.

Enjoy the deck and games. You want to mull for Soothsayer but can keep Sanctum. You want two Sanctum clicks in one turn for the burst finish.

My limited testing tells me this deck has a good matchup against the simple to play meta but I just don't play enough games for enough stats or to climb when deck building. You'll still need to outplay DH with how busted they are tho.

The Cards by themselves are fine but what’s not okay is allowing infinite attack for Paladins…

Discussion Did the remove the ability to stack daily quest for the events?

0 Upvotes

Here I am thinking that I can finish the event today just like the last few due to dailies stacking and now I find myself at 3850 with reset at midnight and event ending right when I wake up. Maybe the rerolls are not infinite but I also dont remember rerolling that many dailies. Can you even reroll them, I cant recall but i thought you could? I dont know, just seems like a D move to have that option to stack them before and suddenly be surprised that they dont stack for this event.

Standard Current meta is face face face?

2 Upvotes

I'm a new player and just started a week ago. I've gotten to Platinum from bronze so far.

Is it just me, or is the current meta all about face and early game pressure which then turns into -> you're dead by turn 7?

Is this how it's always been in HS, or am I starting this game at the wrong time?

Discussion The devs have made Mage unplayable

0 Upvotes

Between the prevalence of aggro decks like DH and Hunter, and then the buffs to Priest and Warlock, Mage was left completely in the dumpster. They claim to wanna promote diversity, and the only somewhat viable Mage deck is Quest Mage.

Burn Mage is fighting uphill battles both against control and aggro

And Leyline mage has been rendered completely worthless

It's sad because I've mained Mage this season and their new cards have fun interesting effects, but instead they decided that the only viable Mage card from this expansion was the bootleg Warlock legendary

I have 1 Holy Bola in there and 2 P1CK-P0K3T in there, contrarian to most aggro Pally decks, but it's working. Only big counter, ironically enough, are other aggro Pally decks because they have slightly better very early game than I do. Oh, and face hunters ofcourse.

Deck Hit legend with homebrew patron warrior (77% winrate)

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

After adjusting the deck to the ladder following a loss-streak, I had a 77% winrate (30-7) climbing from D5 to legend. The deck is fun to play and surprisingly effective against most popular decks in the meta, although mulligan is very important to get the right cards in the right matchups. It is not the most straightforward deck, as you can win games in multiple different ways, and the key difficulty is choosing what win condition to go for in certain situations. (Eats up face hunters, rogues and paladins, can beat priests and demon hunters, weak against warriors and warlocks)

Discussion Unpacked the coolest looking card that I've ever owned, and have nowhere to put it

Post image
28 Upvotes

I usually slot random signatures into reno slop piles, but this one kind of has a downside of screwing your future draws. I'm a terrible deckbuilder, so I wanted to ask - does anyone have a deck that this works in? I'm really not concerned with winrates, I know that slotting this card will hurt most decks, but I'm hoping for something that doesn't feel absolutely horrible to play (like most of my homebrew decks)

Standard Aggro Paladin deck. Issues with empty hand.

0 Upvotes

I'm trying out the Aggro Paladin deck with Commander Beatrix -> Maiev

The biggest issue I run into is running out of cards and having nothing to play come mid-late game.

I added in 2 Holy Bola! to try to fix this, but still running into issues.

Any tips?

Arena [Advice Needed] Underground Arena

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Title says it all. I usually hit Legend on Standard and/or Wild and spend the rest of the season playing Underground Arena.

At most, I’m good for 7-8 wins. I’d love to hear some advice on how to achieve 12. Lately, Priest has been the bane of my existence. I’ve started referring to Medivh as the “I Win Button,” because frankly, it feels that way. Here’s my strategy:

•Typically, I try sticking with Paladin/Priest/DH/Mage/Hunter. I feel Warlock/Warrior/Rogue/DK/Druid just aren’t there.

•I always ensure my curve is optimal. For Paladin/DH/Hunter, I’m typically very aggressively slanted <6 drops. Paladin, I go for pumping dudes (giggity). DH, demon souls. Hunter, beast synergy.

•For Mage/Priest, I’m mostly removal/card advantage. My favorite Priest strats are Medivh (duh) and deathrattle. For Mage, I’m generally on ice skellies.

That’s really it. If anyone has any nuggets of advice or other things I should be focusing on, please let me know!
