Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
Crazed Alchemist is a poor turn 2 play, but it can be invaluable later on in the game, turning 2/7's into easily killable 7/2's, or other way around if you need to turn your own high health wimps into glass-cannons. I love quirky utility minions like this.

Furthermore, I have a lot of minions that have differing attack and health, including Coliseum manager. Play Coliseum Manager, its 5-health means it probably won't be killed immediately, crazed alchemist turns it into a 5-2, attack face, then send him back to the office.

Seconding Consecration. Nothing says "value" quite like wiping a field.

Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
Consecration is such a weird name for this spell. Deal damage to one's enemies by...ceremonially sanctifying your church?

They don't scour the churches in holy fire to sanctify them where you come from? :smallconfused:

If they used Holy Fire it would be a holy nova as it would heal your allies. Obviously they are using holy wraths to scour the churches to sanctify them and they just keep getting 2 cost minions.

You've got a lot of 4s right now thanks in part to being a Paladin, so grab that Worgen.

Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
Good deck but arena is overly difficult lately according to Kripp. I will go with 5 wins.
-
Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
No secrets and a heavy 3-mana curve with very few cards that let you immediately impact the board, and not even one hunter weapon. I'll be impressed if the deck get 3 wins.
Also, I'm not drafting regardless of prediction.
Hamste, I lean towards Guardian of kings. It's probably lower stats than what you'd get from frostwolf warlord (especially for the same mana since you could make recruit warlord on the same turn at 7). But, it's much better as a recovery tool if your board gets blown up, and I've been finding healing increasingly relevant in arena to buy you the time necessary to win the game against decks that come out of the gates firing.
Edit: By the way, Landis, a word of advice. Mulligan aggressively. If you don't have a play every turn from turns 2-5 or an absolute best in class combo on 3-4, you're going to lose badly with that deck. You need your cheap cards at the start of the game.
-
Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
Seven wins for Landis. I believe i you, bro!
Also, another vote for Guardian of Kings. You need more late game, anyway.
-
Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
Frostwolf Warlord for Hamste. It's not a midrange deck without those midrange cards, and you're more likely than other classes to have critters on board.
I'd be more secure in predicting good things for Landis' deck if DWA or Crazed Alchemist had been better 2-drops. Now it's an aggro deck (for Arena, anyway) with a questionable opening couple of turns. Four wins.

Re: Hearthstone Arena 4: Practise Makes Perfect
First round of games! Betting closed.
Round 1 vs. Mage: Ran out of steam roundabout the point where she dropped a Sea Giant onto the field. 0-1
Round 2 vs. Priest: Powershot failed to appear and his board of minions overwhelmed me. 0-2
Round 3 vs. Paladin: We traded back and forth until I dropped a Savannah Highmane (drawn from Tomb Spider) which distracted his Faceless Manipulator copy of my Crusher long enough for me to get lethal. 1-2
