I may give it another go then, I've just got back into WoW (but annoyingly my mates are now all on EU servers so I've lost my high level characters) so will be playing that for a while (got the flying mount so all happy). Hearthstone could be something to do while watching TV, don't understand why it can't be a phone/tablet game though.

There is an iOS client in the works I believe. It's early days though, to be fair it has only just come out of beta.

An Android version is in the works, too.

Android version sounds good, I'd imagine it'd work well on a tablet.

I didn't notice this thread before, was going to post one the other day seeing as it's now "released". I've finally started playing after having watched more of Totalbiscuit's videos and Trump's stream than I really want to add up. I am new to CCGs but it seems solid and holds plenty of depth for a 'casual' game.

I think I've been a bit spoilt by the amount of Arena I've seen though, I can't do well enough to get back in. I know it well enough by now to pick the best cards but did piss poor in my first two runs going 1-3 and 0-3 (due to losing battlenet in 1 in each at least smile), I'm making loads of inefficient plays and forgetting the usual class plays per mana stage.

I've been getting into ranked though, and now up to level 19, only for gold for packs as I've mostly struggled with basic decks. I had two horrendous runs with what should be a solid basic-only Mage deck, dropping back to 22 twice, but seem to be doing very well with Druid and Hunter in particular. I think I'm up to a 10 or 11 winning streak with the Hunter.

Is there any interest in a Wiki of players on PH or some sort of mini-league?

Looks much better than mine, could really do with those enrages and the golem!
My basic-ish Hunter deck; all x2 ... Hunters Mark, Arcane Shot, Tracking, Timber Wolf, Freezing Trap, Bloodfen, Buzzard, Animal Companion, Kill Command, Houndmaster, Snapjaw, Rhino - lastly a single Highmane and Stormwind Champ.

Had a stab at a Shaman deck, really enjoying it, you can get some hilarious Windspeaker + Bloodlust plays if your opponent doesn't clear efficiently or rushes you!

Somehow got lucky enough to win two in a row with that on turn 9; first one rushed me down and only cleared my taunt, Bloodlust on a 5-2 Ghoul and two weenie minions, then Windspeaker on the Ghoul to hit for 22. The second let me do the same on two Sun Clerics and a Fire Elemental biggrin

Level 12 is good going!

Can anyone recommend a game similar to this. My young lad got hooked over the weekend but he can't play it on an iPad one and he isn't due another hand me down for sometime!

I know that there's an iPhone version in the pipeline but no date as yet.

Thanks

Awesome hehe

I once got killed by something that was buffed up to 64/64 in one turn. I didn't manage to get a picture though unfortunately.

That went from 5/5 to 28/28 in one turn. 1 +2 health and draw a card spells and two double minion's health cards on a Lightspawn.

Sorry, didn't spot this! I'm on Nordrassil, but I'm not really playing it that much as we're having too much fun on Borderlands 2 at the moment...

Naxxramas, the first adventure add-on has just been released. Servers are up and down at the moment though, as expected smile

I managed to get on earlier and did the first challenge on the first wing, no connectivity since then. Amaz on Twitch has completed the whole wing, including class specific challenges AND expert mode.

Yeah, it's fair to say that it isn't a huge amount of content! A few hours at most.

Still, it's more about the new cards being introduced to the meta rather than the single player content.

I've done the 3 bosses on normal, and the 2 challenges. Just the 3 bosses on heroic left.

Have you tried Heroic yet? Maexxna on Herioc is a near impossibility.
The three standard bosses weren't too hard though and the class specific ones were done in a couple of gos.

There's just so much Deathrattle!

Im going to try and make a rush hunter deck tonight for Maexxna on heroic. Freeze mage would be a good choice but I dont have half the cards required to run that deck.
