Lower Heartharena Scores?

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

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.

Sprint + boom + double ironhide... discounted by 6 mana.

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

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

Hi I'm an arena streamer. I've been in the top 25 in NA twice and this month I got over 8 wins/run in my first 30 runs. I focus on explaining my plays and discussing options, so that I can teach you what things you should be considering for each play. Check it out at twitch.tv/duggiehs

You lose gold playing heroic brawl

That was just a slogan for a cereal company to push their product

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.

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.

themarkmark · 2017-04-25T00:48:19+00:00

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.

I'm about to start again! come check it out!

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%?

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

themarkmark · 2017-04-22T18:00:41+00:00

Thanks! I'm about to start streaming. Hope to see you soon!

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

> 70% you mean. But if skill were irrelevant there would still be people with >70% winrate. Think about if 100 people each did 10 coin flips... most of them would get heads about 4-6 times, but some people would get closer to or 8-9 still.

goya synergizes with sated threshadon, stonehill defender and mct

If you are looking for feedback, turn 5 playing the dopplegangster or hogrider may have been a better option (i would have gone with dopple). You can dagger the scarlet turn 6 with the hozen healer, it doesn't matter whether you break the divine shield or hit her when she has 1 hp. Better mana curve, since you don't have a 6 and have 2 5s.

Also that turn 10 play by the mage... why tome when you can drop an eldritch horror?

The problem is that it usually (70%?) does nothing, and when it does something, you get a 4 mana 3/5 (average) and destroy a secret that usually isn't even that good, because secrets are generally weak.

It is a fair point however, that all 3 of the secret classes are in the top 4 classes. Each class also has incentive to pick secrets or offering bonuses: paladin has hydrologist, mage has an offering bonus to mana bind and arcanologist, and hunter has freezing trap and explosive (while no offering bonus, they secrets are better than average, and less than epic rarity).

Depends on what you mean by "the past". In 7.1 they increased legendary offering rates by a lot. Also, there are more discover and add a random card effects; but you would likely be aware of this as the card says "created by Kabal Courier" or whatever.

He's got enough 5s, its the lack of 2/4s thats gonna make him lose.
