You're picking the wrong cards and probably playing them incorrectly as well. Look up tier lists and pick accordingly and you'll do much better. Try watching some streams of top tier arena players and copy & paste.

I try and get some cards I know that'll work together, but sometimes you don't see part 2-3 of a chain of cards til later...and who knows if you'll actually get them.

I try and get a good even spread for 1-4 cards and slow down on the 5+ ones. What do other people do?

I know for MTG you aim for a bell shaped curve a bit more.

My best arena so far has been 9 wins, with a paladin deck. Since you don't know what your deck will be totally comprised of as you choose the cards.. makes it difficult. You need to make each trade (of card for card, or minion for minion) really count. Depending on the class, I'd say good advice is to keep cards in your hand. Just because you can play it, doesn't mean you should. Lure your opponent into playing their cards, then responding. I think that's the best advice I can give. And that advice doesn't work if you're trying a zerg deck, because you do want to play your cards asap.


I wanted to share my most recent deck idea. Objectively it is to burn cards in opponents hand, or from the board into their hand, and burn those. Really just wanted to see if it would work, and so far its got about an 80% win rate. Not sure how! Here goes

Keep board control until you can start combos. If you have a murloc tidecaller, play it early in tandum with backstabs, evicerates and your melee weapon. If they get some crazy high cost creature you can't deal with, sap it. On turn 3, if you have King Mukla, hook them up with 2 bananas. Usually worst case scenario, they buff a creature just enough to be able to kill Mukla.

Once you get to around turn 4 or 5, there are two routes to go. If they have a lot of cards in their hand already, and you have coldlight oracle, fill their hand up. Shadow stepping the oracle makes it 1 mana to replay, and is great if you can do it in conjunction with questing adventurer and youthful brewmaster. Even replaying the 2/1 charge murloc can get crazy if you do it continuously.

If opponent has a full board, vanish them all back. If you have Mukla, and oracles, this is where they start losing cards. Over time, they've probably played the lower ones they could, and are often forced to play 1-2 high mana cost cards a turn. Keep filling up their hand.

I have no idea why it works as well as it does, but I thought I'd share it here. It's my first real deck combo I haven't seen done elsewhere.

Another SW CCG person here. I used to play the hell out of it, still have all my cards. They aren't worth anything from what I could tell the last time I looked. Even Black Border Vader's! Gasp!

I play a bit. Pretty good game to play while doing other things. Only complaint is the simplicity of the game compared to other games.

Also, seasons are too short for casual play. Pic above doesn't have name, but Scal1220 if you want protips for EQ/WoW/Hearthstone/whatever.

If you've had 100 pay2win decks roll over you with endless golden epics, add me #Swish2291 ... though I play on the Europe servers, not sure if its possible to do a cross server game or not :p

OK that's a nope...how is it that Blizzard won't let people play a card game if they're not in the same region? I understand for LoL with ping etc but not Hearthstone :/

If you're on the Europe servers...add me :D

Entered the arena earlier as a priest. Played 7 games (won 4)... and encountered 4 mages (beat 1, lost to 2).

Is the current arena meta to always play the mage if its offered? Or was I just stupidly unlucky? :p

Sirken just bought 40 packs of Hearthstone cards :mad:

Nilbog can you DT him or something? :p

Cannot see the picture at work, but I bit finally the other night and bought just 7 packs. Seemed worth it as I pulled a couple legendaries, lots of rare's a couple epics and a couple golds. That is a TON from 7 packs with just 5 cards a pack if you ask me...

Still cannot make half of the decks I want to try, but don't want to buy more cards...
