[PC] Hearthstone - open beta card game from blizzard

For a multipurpose tablet, the platform really isn't negotiable for me, if I get a tablet it's an Android. If I happen to do mobile development it's for Android first so the tablet could be nice for that. There's absolutely no chance I'll be interested in Windows development, so...

Then again, if I get something usable for as little as 100 euros I might just get a tablet *only* for playing so that's where Windows does have its edge, and I could buy another one whenever I come up with a genuine need for something else. You only made this more difficult for me! :)

The larger tablets can actually be found with dualboot, look for the Teclast x98. They will still be using a Intel processor of course.
Also Windows can run Android apps through Bluestacks. This is not some crappy emulating, but I'm talking playing Asphalt 8 without any problems on my Surface Pro.

Otherwise I'm sure there are some cheap Android tablets out there that are fast enough for Hearthstone.

I'm stunned right now.. what happened here? Why did my Soulpriest die?

Awwfff.. yeah I get it now, I didn't realize the spell actually made 5 damage instead of the 4 due to me having Velen's Chosen on the Lightwarden. Well, that was stupid. Totally forgot about the +1 spellpower on it, and in fact if you'd asked me I wouldn't even have been sure if it applies like that.

I've always liked Priest decks for their fun-to-play aspect but with GvG the number of ways to play them just doubled. Lots of fun! Not sure what'd constitute a solid strong deck though.

Well I can't tell the best way to play priest, but here are some new combo's with these 2 cards, Shrinkmeister (-2 attack) and Recombobulator (change minion into a random minion of the same cost)
Shrinkmeister and Shadow Word: Pain - 4 mana
Shrinkmeister and Cabal Shadow Priest - 8 mana
Shrinkmeister and Shadow Madness - 6 mana
And the coolest one:
Shrinkmeister, Shadow Madness and Recombobulator. Why? Because Recombobulator makes it a new minion, so you steal a minion for 1 turn, you can of course attack with it if it survives, and than use Recombobulator, the new minion will be yours, you can watch a play with those cards here.

Got me a gold rogue now! Still rank 14 though... Its really hard to control the field when your aoe takes a good amount of setup. Need to try removing some mechs to get un some silencers and taunters, but the problem is that my damage will be a lot lower

I can't play Rogue properly. Rogue requires shitloads of experience, most classes are fairly straight forward, of course you always need to understand of what the other person (possibly) has, but for Rogue it's also a lot about know when to play your damage, wait too long to use your damage and you're dead, use it too early and you run out of answers. Rogue mana curve means fairly little in that regard.

With my control Paladin I of course need to think a lot about my plays, but it's never about how much damage I will have, but always what will be the hardest for them to deal with and what I'm willing to give them, basically baiting them a lot.

At least that's how it feels to me, I know lots of people can't play Paladin/Control for shit.

That said though, if you are stuck at rank 14, it's really not working out, you should get past that pretty quick. I feel that it gets hard below rank 10, people have all the cards, though I guess that's also what makes it a bit easier since I know what to expect.

Currently rank 8 myself, after I just encountered a horrible Warrior, just look at what he gave me. :D

Other picture is my deck, I switched Loatheb for Sylvana's, though I might cut Loatheb for Cairne, but I'm not sure, Loatheb feels pretty crap right, it's mostly because I can't really combo it with anything. In aggro it feels great, since you get a big board going, drop it at 5+ to stop things like equality + consencrate, holy nova, flamestrike etc etc, but I'm really not bothered about spells now, the cards that I don't want to see get removed with spells, are cards like sylvana's, tirion etc, but I can't combo them.

I want a second coghammer instead of seal of light, seal of light is not a dead card as it can deal with aggro or heal a bit while doing some extra damage, but generally coghammer is just stronger, aggro will probably leave my dudes up since they can only do 1 damage, making it a good option at turn 2 before I play coghammer, but it always works fantastic with shielded minibot. It's also still really good lategame with just about any card.

Yeah I totally get the possible combos, it's what I referred to as fun. But adding the proper filler and avoiding making it a total gimmick deck is the problem. But then again that part IS the game, so... :)

it's pretty good

Had a nice rewarding game as Druid against a Mage. Taught him not to reveal his cards...
On turn 8 he suddenly starts going for the face even though have a 7/7 and a 3/4 on the board, dropping my HP to 10. I made the obvious conclusion he has a pyroblast in his hand so every turn from now on I made it a priority to keep my 10HP and 1 armor above it. On turn 11, having failed to reduce me from the 10+1, he shot the damn Pyroblast to his own face. I swear I jizzed in my pants just a little bit.

Druids are a pain because of their control. Faced one today with 2 druid of the claw, 1 sunwalker, 1 faceless (on the druid of the claw), and 2 ancient of war. As a rogue, you cant possibly output that much damage to remove all 6 taunt monsters.

Its fun getting destroyed by Harrison (when I have an Assassins Blade). A lot of people are running gim now and its kinda a pain, since I started just using assassins blade. Need to try and include more removal in my deck w/o removing some early game control

Yeah there are a lot of weapons in the games, a lot of Hunters have 3, Paladin's 5 to 6 (Truesilver, Muster, Tirion and sometimes a Coghammer), Warrior 4-5, Shaman 2 (Powermace) and Rogues are value city.

I really don't think Assassin's Blade is good, due to the meta Harrison is popular, and people rarely use it on regular dagger, so if you show them AB, you will loose it. Better to just use 2x Poison.

My current version of Paladin is attached.

It helps me alot qhen I need 3-5 dmg done to some one. A 10 dmg clear board turn is also nice (AB+DPOISON+BFLURRY). I still wnt blizzard to make a nice turn 2 weapon for Rogues, but I doubt they will because of their hero power. They also need to make some combo cards that dontrely on a lot of things (like the 2 mana class card which gives another minion)

Obviously it helps, but that doesn't make it a good card to play.

I removed Dr. Boom because it was my only BGH target, and since everyone and their mom is running BGH, it was essentially a 2x 1/1 deathrattle for 7. If you think further more that most people don't play BGH until they play a 7+ attack minion, you make it a dead card.

So just because something is a good card, doesn't mean you should keep it in this meta, this meta has Harisson in so many decks. The only way it can work, is if you bait it out with a 1 charge poisoned dagger, but it's tricky and not worth it imo.

In the end, you need to play (well not need, but if you want to advance...) to win, I removed Dr. Boom because I want to win, I replaced it with Kel'Thuzad, which is good with so many sticky minions, and as a 8 health minion, he's really quite hard to remove. So while I really like Dr. Boom, Kel'Thuzad is just the better choice.

My deck right now. Hope it will be good in higher ranks

Iev already had some sweet combos
- Anub'ar deathrattle my Argus/Drake
- Sap away to smash their face with Anub'ars, Gally, and Drakes
- Ysera board control is very nice late game
- Preparation is very handy when you want to use a free Evis/Fan of Knives (not to mention a turn 4 Sprint or 2 mana Assassinate)
- +14 Heal really helps me out; negates alot of the face damage I have to do
