http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/10639928#bestHere’s a card we’ve been dying to play: The closed beta test for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has begun in the Americas region!
Hope EU will be available soon too.

My inbox is a barren wasteland of broken hopes and crushed dreams.
I never get picked for this stuff :(
I wanna see how this game holds up against Mojang's Srcolls. Can't wait.
I wonder why they've moved to beta keys being back in the emails again after the past few Blizzard betas have been directly added to your Battle.net account.
Another day, another Blizzard Beta I fail to get into.
Day9 is streaming on twitch.
Hope I get in this soon, but I imagine it'll just be broken dreams like Diablo 3, which I didn't get into until very last beta wave.
That "job's done" bark sounds crazy like the one from aoe2.
Nope it doesn't. Beta testers are selected depending on their hardware for testing purposes. It's not a reward for any kind of loyalty. And you'd be surprised how common 5 years of WoW and 200 hours of Diablo are.Pretty much.
I guess 5 years of WoW and 200 hours of D3 don't help.
I am entering all kinds of contests in hopes I can win one and scouring all sorts of seedy sites to find someone who is selling one. Will probably have to format once this is all said and done.
Blizzard...
...where's muh EU access

I'd like to retroactively trade in my beta access for the desktop app for this. Please and thank you.
I'm dying to play this it looks so fucking fun
Sweet! Been looking forward to checking this out.
This is just insane. My kid has grown up with Warcraft being an almost constant factor. Now this? I have watched a load of game play and it actually looks like a great CTG.
9 years of wow, the Collector's Editions for WC3+ wow + every expansion + sc2 + expansion + d3, every blizzard game registered to bnet accountPretty much.

Play time/money spent means nothing its specifically hardware/other metrics
edit: beaten
Is it ok to talk about it? I assume yes since a bunch if people are streaming it?
It sure is interesting a lot of high profile stream personalities managed to get into the beta!
(I did not even sign up until today - lol)

Well it is rad.
Karen Chu is jizzing about this on twitter, apparently it's good.
It's heavily dependent on just how powerful you can get from spending tons of money. It's awesome mechanically but seems like its almost impossible to avoid pay to win.
I got sucked in last night and played just against the AI for like 3 hours. Fucking Hunter whooped my ass.

Played it at Pax East and it was a ton of fun. Hopefully i can get into the beta.
This is pretty fun so far. I mean I'm terrible at it and all but hey. Expert cards seem way strong but at least you can earn packs and apparently craft specific cards you want down the line.
I sure hope I get picked. I want that hearthsteed mount! Sounds like you get it from the beta. Will suck if you don't get in, and don't get the mount.
My heart was crushed when I logged into my account and there was no beta listed. Only hope now is that emails are going out in waves...
Might be a good thing I will lose what little productivity I have left if I get into this beta.

I don't know why Blizzard is still doing gamekeys(Or is this just what I had to use to get in?)
Most accounts should just auto-activate to Hearthstone if they opted in and got in, so you can see it on the new launcher and not check your e-mail repeatedly.

I've spent something like 10 hours with it so far, I am pretty hooked.
My only complaint so far is that the in-game currency generation is far too low. Buying 1 pack of cards is 100 gold, you get 5 gold for 5 wins against other players (through random mode, there are no prizes for playing people on your friend list). So you need to win a loootttt of games for 1 pack of cards. There are also "daily quests" you can do that generate gold, but, so far it seems you only get 1 quest per day (granted this is only the second day of me playing, could be random for all I know).
That said the problem with it is I don't think spending gold on packs of cards is worth it anyway. You can do the arena mode for 150 gold which gives you 5 rewards after losing 3 games. The awards are based on how many games you won, but, so far every time I have gotten at least 1 pack of cards anyway. Plus the mode is more fun than just random battles anyway.
Otherwise I am loving everything about the game, but, I am not someone who plays other card games so I can't really compare it to anything.

Pretty sure that IS how it works. If you're in, it shows up in your battle.net account and you download. Done.I don't know why Blizzard is still doing gamekeys(Or is this just what I had to use to get in?)

Keys generally come from giveaways and other things like that.
I really want to play this :[
Card designs are ugly, but the artwork is nice.WTF is Hearthstone by TB

It seems to be really good.
Not a fan of the playfield either. Too squished in for me.

I was watching this the other day... the game looks really fun to play.Day9 is streaming on twitch.
Augh I really want to play this. Been watching Hearthstone streams all day.
I hope the EU version will be available soon.
This is exactly the type of project I want to see more of from Blizzard (and other developers). Focused, small games that put good mechanics first. Been watching streams all day and it looks like a blast.
Ugh, never get into the Blizzard betas I want to get in, always get into the ones I don't care too much about.
Would love a Hearthstone key sent my way if anyone manages to get one they don't want.
Only thing I have to offer is a Card Hunter beta key http://www.cardhunter.com or I might possibly part with some Steam trading cards and/or grab you something from your Steam wishlist. Just hit me up in PM.

Anyone have any extra beta keys? I own all their products, but Blizz still hates me. :(
I've been playing WoW for about 9 years and flagged my account for all their beta tests for all their games and haven't gotten into a single one of them.Pretty much.
I guess 5 years of WoW and 200 hours of D3 don't help.
They've commented about this loyalty type thing, saying they would like to reward long-term players with things like beta but they've still done nothing.
Played an online game against someone yesterday and I had only eve seen like 2 of the cards they had. The rest just demolished me. I had no prayer. Hopefully that's a matchmaking issue and not a pay to win issue.
Apparently I was wrong here. They're emailing keys for this, which is different than how they have handled the last few betas they have done.Pretty sure that IS how it works. If you're in, it shows up in your battle.net account and you download. Done.
