Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I really like dragon priest as well. It's one of the three decks I usually run in my lineup for the team league I play in.

As for my paladin climb, I fared pretty well against priest as long as I found my threats on curve. The more aggressive lists that push out a ton of aggro and aim to win by turn 7 get ruined by priest, but playing Boom, Tirion, and Loatheb at the top of my curve helped give me more threats that they sometimes couldn't answer.

If you're running double Lightbomb though, that makes it incredibly difficult. A lot of priests aim to be greedier and run zero or sometimes one. That cards crushes my gameplan.

Yeah, the double lightbomb priest has been great. I originally started out being more aggressive with the deck and didn't have a ton of success, but once I switched to a more control-oriented deck and just focused on healing and clearing early along with taunts, I got way more consistent. I actually replaced a couple cards with Chromaggus and Ysera at the top end, and the deck just becomes an unstoppable card engine when you get to the late game. Also, even though it might not be the most efficient, I dropped in Confessor Paletress because it's just so fun, and surprisingly, have yet to lose more than 2 or 3 games when she's been played. (I think I've played her 20 or 25 times) I have a couple screen grabs of some late games with 5-7 high powered legendaries on the board. Hard for the opponent to come back at that point.

As for the Secret Pally deck, I've been running well with the aggro style version, and then tried my hand at the Boom/Tirion version and got crushed four straight. I played it too much in the aggro style I think though, and burned out too fast. Gotta play around with that to get a grip on it. I think the aggro is working well for the meta I'm dealing with in the teens, but if I climb out of there I think I'm gonna need that mid range version as the game slows down. I'll play with it more this week.

Any good strategy / mulligan techniques for that mid range deck?

Don't keep secrets, and look to play on curve. Minibot, juggler, and secret keeper are your friends. Don't keep Muster for Battle if it's your only early game card - every single class looks for their AoE against paladin in order to respond to it.

Yesterday I had a really great experience with a pro from team Tempo Storm. I made a Reddit account in order to post about and give the guy the credit he deserved, and it's ended up sitting as the top post in the subreddit all day so far. Here's the link:

That's pretty much incredible. Awesome when stuff like that happens.

The real question here... did you beat him?

Also pass along some of those sweet Dragon Priest tips, bruh.

Nah he crushed me with a new deck I'm not allowed to talk about. He's playing it at Blizzcon regionals this weekend.

I'm still a bad dragon priest but I'm trying to get better. You just have to spend an entire game out-valueing people.
 
Ok, so I just had my best night ever on Hearthstone.

I went on a 12 game winning streak (including a mirror match that went to fatigue that I won with Ysera Awakens) and I leapt from rank 10 to rank 6. Couldn't even believe the win rate. Finally got wrecked by a Secret Paladin, but they had an all time great draw. (Double Knife Jugglers into Muster, and I had no answer in hand).

Did it all with Dragon Priest. Even took down a Control Warrior, who have been utterly crushing me recently. And if I remember correctly, I think I'm 16-2 or 17-2 or something like that since last night.

I'm sure this is fully unsustainable, but man is it fun.
 
I love Hearthstone. But I only played it for like 3-4 weeks.
The thing is, I'm (more or less) addicted to Hearthstone streams on Twitch.
Anyone here who knows Forsen?

Been watching a lot of Twitch streams but can't stand chat, especially in tournaments.

Forsen's... interesting. :chuckle:

I never even look at chat. If you don't want to full screen the video, simply use the pop out feature that creates a new window that's just the video, and pauses the video on the webpage.
 
Yeah I had no idea Twitch was even really a thing until about a year ago, and now I just throw it on almost anytime I'm playing games or working, if there aren't any sports on.

Tend to watch Kripp a lot for arena, and then whoever's playing constructed with whatever deck I like at the moment. Been watching a lot of Orange because he's been playing Dragon Priest pretty well. Plus I'll watch DeerNadia play too here and there because... well, good lord...
 
I play in and was recently added to the governing board for a team-based Hearthstone league. The league uses competitive formats in a more accessible manner, and has a sort of salary cap based on the skill levels of players.

Anyone is allowed to join, and teams are prevented from stacking themselves 1-5 by the cap, so competition is fairly even across the board.

We stream key matches each Saturday night, and have a ton of fun as a HS community. I know some of you guys that frequent this thread have had interest in really 'getting into' the game, and this is honestly an awesome place to start. Playing in this league is what helped me grow into a legendary player and develop cool relationships as well in an otherwise solidary game.

Our final 'test' season just finished up, and our official Season 1 will kick off on November 9, so free agents are encouraged to sign up and look for teams with open spots, start their own team, or enter into the expansion draft. You can learn more at the site and at the facebook group "Team Hearth League."
