    Woohoo Just pulled off a close win with my Warrior vs a Mage deck online!

    Her setup was a rush deck with lots of efficient weenies and early on i was getting pummeled til i was dropped down to 2 life.

    My skill Armor Up kept me alive til i slowly dropped to 2 hp, when i drew a Shield Block (gain 5 armor and draw a card), which i casted into another shield block, allowing me to setup defenses to overcome the weenie rush!

    Without a doubt, Shield Block was my MVP. Felt epic in that game with my oppoonent at full HP and winning while I was at 2 hp! :)

    Now that my Warrior's level 10, time to move on to the next class to get to lv10... Warlock maybe? Been really interested in his kit.

    Im assuming you already have access to starter decks. :)

    It'd be better to choose a class when you have levelled each one of them up to level 10 to be able to see what cards they receive as bonuses during level ups.

    That way, you'd also be able to determine the playstyle you feel works best for you.

    Anyways, from my little experience...

    Mage is easy to start out with because of her ability to deal 1 damage to any target for cost of 2. From her starter and common cards, she can either go the minion-heavy strategy while using spells to clear the enemy's board as much as you can, or she can go with a control deck with a lot of spells and Spell Damage+ minions and a few fat minions as her finishers.

    Same strategy can be said with the Warlock, which makes him the deck somewhat easy to play as well. That said, his hero power Life Tap is pretty powerful, but correct use of his hero power will take a bit more knowledge of the game to risk losing 2 life for a card draw. The decision to use that hero power becomes a bit more difficult as the game goes on when you have lesser hp.

    Other classes require a lot more deeper strategy involved for new players to get familiarize with. Im not saying Mage and Warlock are easy to master, they are just easier to get into the game with with a more straightforward approach to things.

    That said, Mages and Warlocks also have deep strategies involved once you know how to play them :)

    I've been playing for months. I only play a few games a day. I've spent $3 and have 4 legendaries.

    When you build your decks, do you tend to max out the cards you put in (2)?

    It is. Just in second half of year.
    The polish on this is amazing particularly the opening cinematic. But a stuttering ipad 2 takes away a little from that.

    Depends on the cards, and the deck. Or the most obvious, if i only have a 1-of.

    One example is Darkscale Healer. I had 2 before, but there's not a lot of situations where i actually have more than 1 minion to heal up, so that i get a "2-for-1" for the ability.

    Another example is Archmage. His Spell Damage+1 is nice, and usually stays in play for a few turns more than the weenies that have the same ability do, but he cant be online early on when i need it most for board clearing in my mage deck, where the the weenies with Spell Dmg+1 actually are more useful.

    What is the point of adding friends if all games are randomly chosen?

    Please add me as well, just in case I'm wrong. My Hearthstone ID is also RLennon. Thanks

    The battle tag should have #XXXX (4 numbers) after your name Psience. Something like Psience#1234.

    You can duel with friends.. Though there's no quest or gold gained and just xp..

    You can practice and test your decks.. Most special the experimental ones..

    In the future there will be an adventure mode.. Maybe it can be a factor.. Who knows.
