Nat Pagle's fishing reputation has been greatly exaggerated. Prepare for disappointment.

Sorry about my last post about arena, the alcohol got the best of me.
Honestly I think this is the way to go. I just went 0-3 with (what I thought) was a pretty solid mage deck but was a bit heavy on the 4 drops. Got wrecked every round.

Man cant do anything till I get 6 mana crystals and that time my opponent already drained me 11 hp.
Such a no-life nerd!
Yeah, I avoid drafting Mad Bomber unless I have no other choice. Opponent turn one Coin -> Defias Ringleader. I respond with Mad Bomber, hit myself three times in the face.
If only Hearthstone had a "worth" emote.

Two arena runs with 2 priests, both with 1 mind control and 1 cabal shadow priest. Both 8-2. Partly priest OP, but people do some dumb shit even at the 7 win range. I have a gurubashi berserker out alone. Rogue decides to copy it with faceless manipulator and daggers up. I of course attack it with my own berserker and play MC. People don't play for the worst case scenario against priest and mage for some reason.
Hell yeah, mayne. Turn 2 3/2 that can potentially kill his stuff is great!
Sorry if this has been answered before but I just found out yesterday that you have to pay gold to enter the Arena (the mode that I'm looking forward to the most). What are the available ways to earn gold without having to buy it with real money?
/edit:
This doesn't sound great. I'm mostly interested in the Arena but I don't want to constantly have to buy "tickets" for it with real money. Hearthstone just got a lot less interesting. :/

winning 3 Games in constructed = 10 Gold
resolve the Daily Quest (1 per day) = 40,60 or 100 Gold
winning at the Arena, if you go out with 0 Wins you will receive 1 Pack, 10-15 Gold, 10-15 Dust
So bad Players can play every 3 Days Arena, good Players in the Arena will Play Everyday.
For a F2P System i think is definitly fair enough.
Thanks for the run down. That sounds very fair. Now I'm hyped again. I need a god damned key...
at the beginning you will also unlock many milestone achievements, spend that Gold in the Arena. Buying singel Packs is unnecessary, the Rewards in the Arena are worthy and you will learn the Game in a better way.
I knew about these achievements but since they are limited I wasn't sure how else to get gold. Daily quests seem like the perfect way to handle it.

Ughhhh, pretty sure I threw a game I should have one. Knew this Mage had Ice Block, but I didn't realize it made you immune for the turn as well as preventing fatal damage. If I had just cleared his minions instead I almost assuredly would have won unless he top-decked a pyroblast or something. You live and learn I guess, but my current deck would have been 3-0 rather than 2-1 if not for that miscalculation. (Moderately strong Shammy deck, only thing it's really missing is a Lightning Storm for mass AoE/CC).
I think the turn timer running out should lead to a default win for the other guy.
I played 2 dickheads last night who decided to take their turn and then go and make a coffee every time as they just let the timer run down, or hit end turn right at the last second.
Like: make turn, nothing, usual "hmmmm" auto emotes, not even signs of them scanning their deck, just nada till the timer ran out / almost ran out.
It's like they were trying to bore me into conceding...

How do you define good players? Player that get more than 5 wins on arena consistently? I haven't been watching streams but do the popular streamers really get that?
You see people posting 8-9 wins here quite often but you don't know what % of their arena games is that.
Also I don't think I've seen 100 gold rewards on daily quests yet.
Lies. I've had up to 4 wins in arena without receiving any gold.
I just finally crashed out of Arena with a disastrous Warlock deck after freerolling for a very long time starting Friday night. Things kinda started to click for me. I still bust out, especially with unfamiliar classes, but I can pick the "good" classes enough to make up for it. I have 363 Arena wins right now.

Bought a Dell Venue 8 Pro and man it's amazing to be able to play Hearthstone on a 8 inch tablet. Best purchase ever.
I can pick the good classes too, doesn't really say much though because that's what everyone thinks they're doing.
I received the beta key on October 16 and I have 113 arena wins. Spent money on 8 arena runs and the rest are just gold from arena wins and daily quest rewards. I don't play constructed that often especially without daily quests and I have 95 wins there.
October 4 here. I have like 110ish constructed wins. I also don't play it that often.I can pick the good classes too, doesn't really say much though because that's what everyone thinks they're doing.

P2W? Not really.
Arena doesn't even use your own cards, so that's definitely not P2W.
And 44% of people at Master3 in constructed haven't spent a single penny. It's safe to assume that of the remaining 56%, some of them probably only purchased one pack for the golden Mekkatorque card.

I got combo played earlier today by one that did something like 20-30 damage in one turn.
Think he dropped something like 2 Timber Wolves, 2 Dire Wolf Alphas, 2 Young Dragonhawks and an Unleash the Hounds with one or two Leokks on the board and maybe one or two other minions. Came out of fucking nowhere and was completely unstoppable with that much instant damage.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Constructed is P2W. I know who has payed for cards and it's pretty much 50% of all the players I get to fight against.
Uninstall and don't post here anymore. Thanks!

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
It's Pay2Win in the same way Standard MTG is P2W. That's why I only ever do boster drafts if I go to a Friday Night Magic. It's just the nature of card games.
fortunately, they're going to nerf Unleash the Hounds. Either the attack boost or charge has to go, I'm hoping for the later

Like I said, P2W or Luck2Win
Fun
Why are you still playing the game if you aren't enjoying it/having fun/feeling frustration?

Addiction, I guess. Knowing that ~50% of the time, I'll win because of the constant RNG-factor.

Yoshi has a vocal love/hate relationship with Blizzard games. It's cute. :3
