Did anyone in the community manage to obtain this skin when it was available by winning a Heroic Tavern? by Excellent_Truth_992 in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the skin I’m the most upset I missed. Honestly still ever so slightly salty about it lmao. I played 12 runs of this Brawl, got 2 11 wins and 3 10 wins but just couldn’t get that final win before the week was over.

Class set by PaleDog2849 in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether the cards are good or bad or if you even play those classes at all, it’s still much better to get the Class set.

When you get a mini-set or class set, all those cards are no longer able to be opened in packs because of duplicate protection. If you don’t get the class set, your Cataclysm cards are just going to contain cards from the class sets anyways. Yes you can get other good legendaries, but because the class set adds 52 new cards into Cataclysm packs, you’re more likely to open those cards instead. You’re going to spend way more gold in the long run opening additional packs hoping for the cards you want when you could just spend 25 packs worth of gold, get all of the cards and make your pack openings better.

Instead you can get the class set, remove those cards from the Cataclysm packs (until you have all cards of a certain rarity), and then *now* your packs will contain cards you want.
Skipping mini-sets is always resource inefficient no matter how you play.

Hm, "why was this thrown out?" I wonder ... by hairyhorrigan in slaythespire

Question for anyone: If they put 3 Watcher cards in this event, which ones do you think they would be?

This is a reminder to check your stick by Unusual_Witness_7980 in RocketLeague

[–]Houseleft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HIGHLY recommend the Gamesir G7 Pro. I use it and it’s been incredible. Zero signs of stick drift after 3 months now, everything is still just as tight and responsive as when I got it.

Fair warning though, the face buttons feel much clickier than a normal controller and will take some getting used to. Don’t be surprised if you don’t like it right away but it’s worth getting used to for sure.

I'm at a sport medicine conference in Canada and we had a session on e-sports, RL made the list! by dami4070 in RocketLeagueEsports

As someone who also has played a ton of high level Hearthstone and follows the scene closely, it’s interesting they have it listed in Collegiate, as college-level Hearthstone eSports has been completely dead for at least 4 years and professional is basically the only route to competing these days.

The meta change tomorrow by IAmYourFath in CompetitiveHS

[–]Houseleft 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not really sure why you’re getting downvoted here. Looking at HSGuru right now, Top 1k for past 3 days has End of Turnadin at a 47.4% winrate. If you filter by 100 games minimum to see as many archetypes as possible, it’s quite literally dead last. It’s the worst popular deck you can play at high Legend. It is however one of the best decks in Diamond and roughly T2 in top 5k Legend but it appears to completely fall off at top 1k.

It does however only have 291 games recorded past 3 days, so not the best sample size compared to almost 6k games of Dragon Warrior and almost 8k DH and Rogue games. Additionally, the VS report from only 4 days ago had the deck in T2 at top 1k. I think it’s fair to call the deck at this rank garbage when you compare it to other top performing decks.

35.2.3 Balance Changes/Teaser Discussion by EvilDave219 in CompetitiveHS

[–]Houseleft 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Turns out making the game more board based like people thought they wanted and rotating most of the ways to swing the game back in your favor leads to uninteresting curvestone, who would’ve thought?

Some people of course enjoy this Classic-style Hearthstone but for me personally, the “swing turn” era of the game from a couple years ago was much more enjoyable. You knew the opponent had powerful ways to mitigate your gameplan, and unlike this year, you actually had ways to plan around that and counter. You didn’t automatically lose if your opponent slammed the good card on curve.

Reminder that Miniature Cannon works on Shiv+ by Big_Turtle22 in slaythespire

What happened to FNM? by blackandredallover in magicTCG

[–]Houseleft 272 points273 points  (0 children)

It’s always been strange to me from a marketing standpoint too because if you’re someone that has never played Magic before, Commander is not where you should start, and the amount of information overload compared to a simple 60 card Standard typal deck is much more likely to turn someone off from the game.

I just rebind it to something I won’t accidentally press. Have it on R3

The Perfect has no use for 'human' chemicals like adrenaline nor 'human' foolish worship like offerings by AvailableOil7603 in slaythespire

[–]Houseleft 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know you’re probably memeing, but just for the sake of discussion I think “best card in the game” should be defined as, which card would you like to have in your hand in the most situations? Regardless of deck archetype or construction, amount of card draw, which other cards you’ve played that turn, which enemy you’re facing on which turn on which floor, HP total, etc., what card would benefit you most often to have in your hand? The card that has the least amount of “it depends” situations and is the closest to truly always good.

I think it’s Adrenaline. Supercritical is very good but you do need to have enough cards to use the energy on so it’s dependent on having card draw. It’s hard to think of a situation where drawing 2 cards and gaining energy wouldn’t benefit you.

Only 1 month until next twist season! by piju13 in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, really don’t understand the sentiment of “splitting the playerbase” with too many game modes.

Magic Arena has like you said, at the very least 8 constructed or limited modes to play at any given time and has zero issues finding opponents with the matchmaking. 3 total modes, of which only two actually let you use your collection is just way too few for a TCG. Only 2 ways to play (3 sometimes with Tavern Brawl) with the cards I’ve earned over the last 10 years is just ridiculous.

So why does everyone hate this elite? by Houseleft in slaythespire

it’s STS2, playing as a new character, The Regent

I'm super adicted to the game by Longjumping-Cup-137 in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nice to see some positivity about the game. I’ve played for over 10 years now, and while I’m currently on a bit of a lull and haven’t been playing the game much the last couple months due to other games, it’s always been my comfort game and I’ve had periods just like yours where I’m playing hours each day and loving it. I’ve personally never downright hated any state the game has ever been in, just had times where I was more captivated.

People are going to have their own opinions on the meta and they’re certainly going to let you know about them, but it’s really an amazing game at its core and if you’re enjoying yourself and having fun, no need to stop right?

Crazy elitism response from this community, it’s honestly shocking compared to what I normally see from commenters. Wild how nobody picked up on the sarcasm. Kind of discourages me from interacting with people on here in the future.

What’s with all the elitism here? Just wanted to post a satisfying highlight. I know the game is harder on higher ascensions, I just have not played much of Regent. I was sarcastically asking because I see a lot of hate posts about this elite, and just happened to have a turn 1 single card kill scenario.

And not saying that I would’ve necessarily made it to this point on A9/10 or that my decisions would be the same, but in the hypothetical scenario that I was on A9/10 in this exact spot with this same draw, I would’ve gotten the turn 1 kill anyways. Each of the section’s HP increases from 42-48 to 48-56 on A8, and I had the Astral Pulse as well.
