Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'll start. My battletag is Gainsdalf#1448. I hover around ranks 13-14 in constructed right now, focusing on paladin, hunter, and warlock decks. Recently been dabbling in priest and mage. I suck playing rogue, and don't have the cards for shaman or druid. In Arena I average 3-4 wins. I want to get up to 5-6 so that I can reliably get a pack and about 100 gold on average as a prize. With daily quests, this would let me do an Arena run a day. I enjoy various Hearthstone podcasts. My favorites are Happy Hearthstone and The Lightforge. I just got my 300 gold 1000 win award today, and plan on using it in my continued suckage ion arena/ 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Marauder Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 My battletag is Persephone#1187. I've been playing on and off since December 2014. I have always played ranked just far enough to get the card back of the month, but since Gainsdalf has encouraged me, I've managed to summit ranked 14 (for a match or two anyway). I seem to be able to maintain about 16 without too much trouble. I'm terrible at making decks, but want to get better. I love Tavern Brawl. I play almost exclusively mage up until now, but plan on switching things up once I get my golden portrait (about 20 more ranked wins). I don't play Arena much and am currently hoarding gold for the new expansion. Paging @Sea Level to join us. 1 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment

I guess it should be, "I haven't explored all the features yet." The Arena vs. Play.... Strategy of assembling a pack... Playing "ranked" Just lots of options to investigate. 1 Quote Sea Level Vintage Sea-elf Assassin Current Challenge: Sea Level I : RespawnPro Aris et Focis "To the Sea, to the Sea!

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Oh yeah, lot's of investigating. I'm still having tons of fun figuring stuff out, and like I said, I'm over 1000 games in. I'm so split right now. Coming up on 1600 dust and trying to decide whether to craft Alexstraza now, or wait for all the legendaries from the new set to be revealed to make sure I don't want one of them more.

I'd wait for sure. The meta is going to swing hard with the changes of an expansion AND the game changes. I still can't believe I crafted Dr. Boom right before the announcement. Sigh.

Yeah, despite playing mostly mage I don't have Antonidas either or ice block. Tempo mage is quite fun! Nice job on level 13. I never really paid much attention to Ranked before and just played to get my card back, but I've really enjoyed it this month. HERE is my card spreadsheet. It seems to think I have the most Priest cards playable. Interestingly, mage is the lowest. haha! If you click on cards down below you can see the specific card list. I guess Priest could be fun. I kind of want to try a Warlock deck. Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Warlock is so fun and requires the least rare cards, especially if you've done the adventures like you have. Look up "warlock zoo", you probably have a lot of what you need. I like the sheet! where's the source sheet for that? I am not a fan of the one I have, little to now functionality beyond tracking cards. The deck check function in yours sounds awesome, and might be great for picking your next class to mess around with. The packs to buy function is what I was looking for when I was searching for a tool like this originally, but now that I spend all my gold on arena, it's not as important as before. I hope they change the card pack reward to be the pack of your choice in the future. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

I've had mixed luck moving to the newer versions. It's always a bit of a nail biter if my card list will transfer. That's my only complaint with this sheet. Be sure to follow the link at the top to the Blank Version before you make a copy. (ETA: hmmm, seems that blank copy is an older version, not sure what's going on there.)

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Think I found a few errors in the sheet Marauder. The big one seems to be that the pack recommendation cells are swapped. The one for standard is giving the recommendation that should be in wild, and vice versa. I'm getting GvG recommended for standard packs for example. I messaged the creator to figure it out. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's fixed in 6.3 for the packs. The standard pack value (where it says 85.3) is still broken. It's supposed to show the average disenchant value of a pack, but it's using the wrong values I think. Are we sure 6.3 is the latest? 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

There used to be a link at the top which always went to the latest update. When I look at the formula for Which pack to buy for Standard, it shows that it's checking for GvG still, but Which pack to buy for Wild, it does not. So that's still backwards right? The pack dust seems oddly low, I agree, but I can't figure out how he figured any of those dust amounts. Seems like the others are high. Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment
