[quote=Meiyjhe][quote=xIchi] Guys what kind of decks would you recommend. As I come from a YGO background, I loved burndecks, but they are barely Tier 3 now. What kind of meta is Hearthstone using? [/quote] Rushdecks. Warlocks are really strong right now because of that. Mages are also really strong, but that is mainly due to the way they counter rushdecks and the high damage of pyroblast and fireball also makes the mage quite a killer.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=YayaFTW] I don't know what to prioritize in certain situations: clear the enemy board even if it means trading minions, or go for the HP and not clear the board. Like last time, I got overconfident and let a priest's Lightbringer alive because I was at 24HP and after I attacked with everything I left him at 4 HP, thinking that he doesn't have enough counterplay for 5 minions on my side and 2 on his. The next turn he put another Lightbringer into a Defender of Argus and from then I lost the game and finished arena 1-3. I simply don't know what's the best thing to do every turn.[/quote] Lightbringer? You mean Lightwell? You always want control over the board. That means different things for different decks and playstyles, but it generally means that you have more or simply more powerful minions on the field than your enemy does. (but be careful not to burn yourself out; trading more cards to clear his cards, leaving you in a card shortage) Some classes like Paladin have more ways of buffing minions than others, but you SHOULD generally clear the enemy board whenever you can do so effectively, simply because of the buff potential. You should of course try to avoid bad trades. Trades like a 4/3 for the enemy 3/2 are trades you want to avoid. In such cases you should try to avoid trading and go for face instead. Because that is a favorable trade for your enemy, so even if you avoid it and go for face he will likely seek that trade out in the end. (exceptions obviously being when you have 3HP left or that minion has an ability like the Warsong Commander or so) Did you read my previous long post? Thoughts? [quote=xIchi] What kind of meta is Hearthstone using?[/quote] What the banana said. Rushdown, rushdown, rushdown. The great majority of minions being in 2-4 mana (roughly 80%?).[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Ok thanks, I was using Rogue, but quickly changed back to Mage. Will be looking into it while I get more cards~[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I called this a "guaranteed 0-3", turned out to be my best arena run so far: [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/3UZmirp.jpg height=500][/center] Shoutout to the two minions that carried most the games for me (click for the full picture): [columns] [url=http://i.imgur.com/XsQATAU.jpg][img=http://i.imgur.com/XsQATAU.jpg width=450][/url] [nextcol width=25] [nextcol] [url=http://i.imgur.com/AbzGXqd.jpg][img=http://i.imgur.com/AbzGXqd.jpg width=450][/url] [/columns] Reward: 215g and a pack. Anyone managed to get 12 wins yet? :3[/quote]

[quote=Searz]^9 is my max so far. Got 300g and a pack(no golden cards :( ). I've gotten 8wins like 6 times by now(both 8 and 9 yesterday, lol). I've gotten two or three golden cards from those runs. Arena was WEIRD yesterday. Freaking everybody was running Ragnaros in arena. Faced at least 3 people that had him. Not to mention the fact that Meiyjhe got two freaking Ragnaroses in his arena deck..[/quote]

I also had some 7's with a druid. My average winrate with other heros is ~4/3 in arena tho.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I've only played arena 8 times so far, normally win about 4 games or so. I've never had cards as a reward for arena, it's always dust, gold and packs.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I think it goes without saying that there were brownies made every time a Rag came out.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]Had one of the worst Arenas ever, finished up with 2/3. Full with annoyance I started opening my pack that I won from the arena. After that, I wasnt that annoyed anymore :3 [spoiler=wow][img=http://i.imgur.com/GoQ55cY.jpg width=500][/spoiler][/quote]
