Sooo true

Especially that bit about playing your own customized deck and switching for farming-friendly ones when you had enough of losses

Though I must say in my case, there are days on which I have a winning streak with my decks (while having so much fun with working combos) or days on which I loose practically every duel, even with Huntertaker or Zoo Warlock, and it makes me wanna delete this f$#ing game (I recently have very bad Arena runs, even with decks that should pwn everyone, thank the heavens I at least get some decent value in booster packs, like those cards which I wanted to craft anyway, or a Legendary after only three wins )...

All the frustration comes from gold farming actually, with each loss you loose time which could've brought you 10 gold...

 This is why I pretty much refuse to Gold Farm 90% of the time.

 I will do the daily quests and will usually try for at least the 60gold ones.  OR I will do the 3wins for 10gold only when I am 10 or 20 shy of an arena run.

Or one can use bots Just joking...

My problem is that I'm having a sort of Hearthstone addiction right now, so instead of waiting for daily quests to "fill up" I'm farming those 10 gold pieces (at least when I have time for it).

Sooner or later I'll probably get bored, I'm starting to get really upset with my recent weak Arena runs (3-3 is the most I can get nowadays, before GvG I had better results). And the prizes are really disappointing, for instance one pack + 50 gold is practically the same you can get for 0 wins :/. The only good that comes from Arena is the slow but steady Arcane Dust income (mostly from dusting cards but 35 AC in prizes is not so bad, though you can also get a weak card worth 5 AD :/)...

Yeah would be nice to grab some of that Classic Legendaries, but there are a lot of weak ones I can potentially get, while practically every GvG one would be of some use, that's why (at least for now) I'm trying my luck with GvG packs...

I can't be picky though, I've already had Leeroy and Sneed which are very good cards, while Cho was used for crafting my Ysera so I can also call him a good pick Probably Ragnaros will be next crafted Legend, "only" 300 dust to go

I was just thinking about the same thing, Rag is my next craft most likely. And similarly only 300 dust to go! I have played Druid lately and god facing Ragnaros wrecks my Druid. The best counter is to ignore it and do the wombo-combo (that is so boring imho that I don't use it as my finisher now)

In my case I think I'll use him in my Mage deck. In the advent of Mech-Mage decks being practically everywhere I'm still using my traditional spell/spell boosting minions deck with good results (there's practically a spell for every turn, mana curve is optimal with this deck). An alternative cheaper finisher aside from Pyroblast would be welcome though

BTW are you guys having problems with Warrior decks lately? I'm not talking about Control Warrior, but the class as a whole. I don't remember them being this troublesome, my opponents always seem to have good luck with draws, whereas I hate playing him because in contrast to them my removal never keeps up with my opponents board... Right now I loose probably 90% battles with Warrior class, be it Zoo or Control type decks...

PS: How many times did you guys stumble upon Puddlestomper? I've had at least 10 of them till now (one was gold so 50 AD was ok)

I haven't faced Warrior in ages, but the class is strong atm. Don't face them as I play at lower ranks because my decks generally suck I wanna play new decks basically, I mostly played Warrior and Mage last season because I could make them strong - but at that level I couldn't play other decks because they loose horribly and that is no fun either.

First regular pack I buy I got Cenarious, yay, I did the right thing! Especially since now I am loving my Druid deck so it came as a perfect addition!

Lucky you, he's also high on my "to get" list, though he's kind of a finisher, not a "game changer" (though with Ramp Druid he can be more useful). I recently got some free classic pack codes from my friend, and while I didn't get a Legendary I got cards like Ancient of Lore or Imp Master that are really useful, yet were absent from my collection...

Druid is a great class (probably my favorite), though he's slow nature can be a hit or miss with faster opponents like Zoo. Dark Wispers, which I got quite early, is a great addition, though I'm always struggling to get the 5 Wisp + Savage Roar (or Power of the Wild) combo done. I usually pick the Echoing Ooze combo...

EDIT: Got my Ragnaros today, yay! Decided to scrap one of my Fel Reavers for that missing 100 dust, since I don't use this card. I know his not that popular these days, but definitely gives the most value from many alternative Legends in the 8+ Mana segment, plus I wanted this card since the beginning when I choose Ysera over him (they were the two most popular Legends at that time, but Ysera is a Dragon and she fits into my Druid deck ).

PS: The moment when you have enough dust to create any possible Hearthstone card is one of the sweetest and hardest in this game

EDIT 2: Tried Rag a few times already, but unfortunately, at least for now, he was not as useful as I though he would be. There always seems to be bad timing with him (opponents always have a few low cost minions on board, even when I've cleaned it with Flamestrike for instance, and there's the risk of them soft/hard remove Rag next turn :/). My only gg was when I Innorvated him turn 6 (decided to throw him into my Druid deck, seems he fits there better then in my Mage deck) and next turn copying him with a Faceless Manipulator while my opponent had one minion on board

He's probably better for meta but only with opponents like Druid which throw Ancient Protector as a last resort...

Imho pretty much yeah. I don't think the nerf is that big of a deal. I mean, Undertaker is only good for rush decks, cause he's rather unusable in mid or meta. From my experience every time I played him my opponent practically always had something to remove him. In turn 2-3 it's Frostbolt (with coin even immediately), and later some other s*it. What I mean is 90% of the time, even when his health was boosted, he didn't survive long enough to be an actual threat. Plus, at max you can make him a 3/4 minion cause it's rare for a player to have 2+ Deathrattle minions on hand. Not to mention having and playing two Undertakers at the same time. He's more of a trade/taunt minion then an actual threat, and he keeps that status even after the nerf, because when it come to Huntertaker I win my games with Unleash the Hounds/Savannah Highmane/Leeroy and Eaglehorn Bow + Hero Power. Undertaker is just there to keep my opponent occupied for a while...

BTW I wonder what Legendary I should craft next after Rag. Any suggestion guys? Probably Dr. Boom cause he fits into any deck... or maybe Jaraxxus, he always looked like a lot of fun, especially because I like to play my Demon Warlock deck... Also Cairne would be great in my Reincarnation Shaman deck. Ugh, "So many options..."

Yeah it doesn't affect Hunter as much, but it does affect Zoo. I don't see them using Undertaker anymore, pretty sure of that. Before he could fight the board, what zoo wants. Now it is just for damage/threat, which is what hunter wants.

So I'd say yes playable in Hunter, not so much in Zoo.

Edit: I didn't do it! I didn't craft Ragnaros. I was sitting at 1600 dust and looking through Sylvanas, Ragnaros and Dr Boom. I decided I don't want "Dr. Balanced" as they call him And I couldn't decide between Rag and Sylvanas. Just couldn't! Both are so good. So I crafted a few rares I needed even more badly - Auchenai Soulpriests and Keeper of the Grove. Yeah I have missed out on those completely haha. But they are so needed, the Priest is unplayable withouth Auchenais and Keeper of the Grove is vital tempo card vs Mech Mage or any aggro. So now I have again 300 more dust to go to a legendary haha, but I can wait.

Yeah, I recently decided to put another Keeper of the Groove instead of a Rock-jaw Trogg (unfortunately this minion proved to be less useful then I originally thought) into my Druid deck. A solid body plus silence is really good, and that alternative two dmg option can save your hide by finishing that Taunt etc.

Had the same problem as you, there's still a few really good cards that I miss from the classic packs (like Force of Nature, which made me loss many games already or Shadowflame), yet with recent luck in Arena/packs I decided that crafting is my only way the get those Legendaries

I'm really hating my luck in Arena right now. Aside from that Sneed which I got after 3-3 I'm really getting crap in those packs. Also I think of myself as an experienced player, yet I'm getting tragic results, even with good decks (spell heavy Mage, a lot of Yetis etc). I don't know if it's an overall rise in player level (or they simply have good guides) or sth that I'm lacking, but before I had more 6-3, 5-3 etc, now I'm getting only 1-3 or 3-3. 12 wins seems further then ever (and I would really like that 300 gold to buy some packs). Reading through forums I find that people with mediocre decks get 12 wins with ease (who the hell are they fighting, I can believe they get such results with so many Mages, even if you know how to play with them, you never know if they don't have that second or third Flamestrike). This can be really discouraging and it's starting to burn out my flame for this game (plowing through that Mecha-Mages or Huntertakers over and over again to earn 30 wins, or at least enough to support that daily quest prizes, and farm that gold is starting to get really boring)...

PS: Pick Ragnaros. He's really fun to play. You can easily outrun Sylvanas ability (just leave a crappy minion, or clear the board before killing her), yet Ragnaros is a harder nut to crack. Especially with Druids ramping ability Faceless him (happens quite a lot for me) another turn and your opponent will have a really hard time to deal with them, even if he's a Mage. Or, like in my case, you can confuse your opponent with Ysera (in your case Cenarius) and a Heavy taunter (Ooze plus Dark Wispers works wonders ), and then finish him with a Rag. Belive me, not many people expect 2+ Legendaries in a deck... Oh, and his "Die!" sound effect is cool as "hell". Literally

WTF? Another 3-3 in Arena and another Legendary. Who needs 12-0?

This time it's Malorne (woot!, my first ever class Legendary). While the card is not one of those "to-get" Legendaries I really wanted it cause I like him as a minion. I mean his a demigod white stag, Princess Mononoke anyone? As such I'm really happy, cause getting one in a pack was probably the only way to get my hands on him (there are quite a few better cards to craft). I guess I'll try him in my good ol' Druid deck though there's already a lot of heavy minions in it. Probably my best bet is to replace my Mech-Bear-Cat for him. Their cost is pretty close. Well I'll have to see which is more useful: an unkillable powerhouse (of course without Silence/Polymorph that is) or a spare parts spammer...

EDIT: My first game when I actually played Malorne? Ragnaros and Malorne on board, opponent Priest kills off Malorne by using most of his resources. Next turn I draw Malorne... could've done sth else but decided to play him anyway. My opponets gg'd

EDIT 2: After a few more playtroughs I find Malorne a better card then his actual "press" is. I agree with Kripp, after he appears on the board his a constant threat. Especially in decks with other heavy Legendaries. For 7 mana (turn 5 with Innervate!) his one of the strongest bodies in game. Hex/Polymorph aside (lets face it those cards end most threats) if my opponents leave him be, they soon come to regret it. Druid has ways to deal with Taunts. Couple that with a quick buff, and Malornes face attack is devastating. And there's not many minions who can trade with him on equal level. Plus, his possibly the only minion that when killed off (without Silence) will give you the "m'kay no biggie" impression (as "he will return!"). I will even go as far as to say that his a better choice then Dr. Balanced in a druid Deck, but I guess I'll have to test that in the future (that is if I ever get my hands on him). In Druid decks like mine if I withstand through first few turns (Swipes, Keepers, Starfall and few other things help me with it) the Malorne->Ragnaros->Ysera (+Faceless) finisher is too much for almost anyone (of course each of those cards is good on their own). Many players will have ways to deal with it, but when it "clicks" there's hardly any deck that will survive this onslaught. And to be honest my Druid deck, which I constantly tweak, even when loosing miserably, has always given me the most fun in this the game.

@Minion I think you should think about Malorne

Did Heartstone change a lot since ~7 months ago? I remember trying it out during that time.

Game was fun, especially creating your own deck for the arena battles. Sadly its just something for in-between. Didn't really hold me long. Playing 1-2 games is nice, but I can't imagine playing it almost the entire day. It is a card game after all.

Well I enjoy it more then ever, but it's just me (lately though there's more frustration then fun, especially in Arena :/). Unfortunately I think the game changed for worse, cause 90% of the decks I play against are boring and repetitive "easy-to-pick-and-win" decks like Huntertaker, Zoo Warlock, Mecha-Mage, Token or Mecha-Paladin... There was more variety before, cause people tried to experiment more, and now the net is full of guides, so most of the players go the easy way (myself included, but only for gold farming)...

I couldn't agree more. Arena is the most fun. Way more unpredictable. But playing normal is most of the time boring. Within a few rounds you have figured out the deck they are using, and then you either know how to counter it or not.

Imo Warlock is a bit neglected in Arena (judging by various polls and rankings that I've read).

His ability can save your butt, he has a lot of removals, probably second only to Mage (especially after the introduction of Dark Bomb and Imp-losion). When your not trying to focus on Demons, but rather on solid minions, with his removals he can be great in Arena. Even when you don't have Demons spells like Demonfire can be really handy. I'm not saying Demons aren't good of course, but you're better off not picking combo things like Sacrificial Pact or minions like Void Caller (of course if you already have few Demons why not). Lately Warlock is the only class that has given me some results like 5-3 and 8-3, cause I'm even struggling with Mage nowadays :/ That's why I always pick Gul'dan if I have the chance...
