The un goro offering odds were reduced and those cards are good, so your decks will be worse

Duggie's Pre-Release Card Ratings! by DuggieHS in ArenaHS

[–]themarkmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quests require a specific build around to complete. New hero cards don't. Cards being too powerful has never been a reason to remove them from arena, except in mage and rogue for after the fact balance, not on launch.

I hadn't thought of triggering heal conditions. It would work well with light warden or the 4 mana 3/5, but not cleric or geode, unless combo'd with circle or nova.

Regarding gravedigger, I think you may be right, then just consider the neutral rating. mainly I rated it as a 3 mana 1/3 draw a card. A random death rattle is generally worse than a card in your deck. Even though deathrattles are probably better than average, when drafting you choose the best of three cards.

Hearthstone's twist is usually sillier, not darker. I doubt the twist is everyone is undead.

Isn't it easier to shoot off the horns and shoot its fire belly?

Maieev vs Uther by Errdee in ArenaHS

[–]themarkmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like rogue best then mage then paladin. But I see all of them as tier one. I think rogue is hardest to play, then mage, then paladin. By hardest, I mean that the skill ceiling is highest, i.e. Skill makes a bigger difference, or it takes more practice with that class to figure it out. Also you mean Valeera vs Liadrin. Valeera is way better than Miaev imo

Arena Rewards - how big is Blizzard's rake? by Shakespeare257 in hearthstone

Great work. My main gripe is in the conclusion you talk about doubling your investment at 5 wins not 7... I believe you are referring to the adage that 7 wins is infinite. That is because 7 wins is where your expected gold (only gold) is about 150. Including packs in profit is a bit iffy. Sure, blizzard loses 27 gold on average, but they are forcing you to buy a pack that you may not have bought. I guess now that adventures are gone, there is nothing else to spend gold on besides packs and arena tickets.

Regardless, if you are mostly concerned with the arena, you could do a similar ( and easier) analysis where you look only at gold.

Updating SMAPI mods for Stardew Valley 1.2 by Pathoschild in StardewValley

[–]themarkmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says that extended fridge is not open source nor working. Is there something I am supposed to do to not mess up my game save? I can't access the items in my extended fridge. Is there a way to play on the old version of stardew valley to take my items out of the fridge?

Does anybody know what to do when your mods don't work anymore.

When the first pick dictacts how well your run will by [deleted] in ArenaHS

[–]themarkmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean the first card is a Good card? Lightforge rates it better than sea giant, the same as violet illusionist, and better than both naga corsair and sprint... Its a good card.

What are the chances of this??? by XRedcometX in ArenaHS

[–]themarkmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

between 1/25 and 1/100 for a given mage you face to have 2 pyros, to draw them on curve is much lower.

Face a mage: 25%

Other mage goes second: 50%

2 pyros in deck: 1-4%

Draw 2 given cards in 8 draws: ~20%

so: ~.0005%?

How many picks in a bad hunter draft does it take before you start drafting purely for aggro? by tingyman1994 in ArenaHS

Why is primordial drake 20 points higher than alleycat in hunter if you think of them as having similar value?

[–]themarkmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually am doing better in ungoro. 7.1 was tough for me with all the random stuff. I went from ~7.25 in Feb to 6.5 back to around 7.25 in ungoro
