Im not opppsed to spending money per se and im not quite sure what 'serious' investment even means. A few hundred isnt really a big deal for example.

The question is, how popular do you feel this game is?

According to the lead developer, it's the most popular it has been. It's a featured game on twitch. It'll probably continue being popular for a while.

As for standard vs wild, you're right that standard changes things up pretty frequently. Wild is a total crap shoot on what you're going to face each match.

Investment may not mean money, but time as well.

HS is the most popular card game on Twitch and would assume the general gaming public... if you use Twitch as a measuring stick. It also has a pretty busy pro scene although not as lucrative as say Dota2 or CS:Go or League... but still pretty solid.

I do my quests daily and don't do arena, so I spend all my gold on packs. I do spend real money when an expansion comes out if they do some kind of bargain buy/etc.

There have been pros that have made legend with F2P decks but that's very few and far between and even less now that there is the "Hall of Fame" cards. I think with a little time and money you can have just about every card you'll need, especially with the new legend rules coming out.


I always play standard, keeps the game fresh... wild is a crap shoot.

Don't click too fast on mobile, you'll end up with a blank post which cannot be edited.


Anyway, the extra ungoro packs promotion has started.

Play arena. It makes you better. And you'll get to a point where you can go "infinite" between winning a lot and completing quests.

I can't win consistently enough in arena to make gold

I usually net positive if you think "i spent 150 gold to get a pack and 65 gold"

Yeah, I'd be happy with that result, too. Usually, I'm getting a pack, 25 gold or 20 dust

The problem is... not that I do not want to or do not see the value, I do. It's the time. I also love to play TES: Legends and Dota (and now Diablo 3 since Necro is out).

Problem is fitting in normal full time job plus extra work, plus 2x girls in competitive dance, plus the Rib, and so on. Just not enough time in the day.

I do watch a ton of streamers which I think helps, normally catch Thijis, Amaz, Savjz, and Kolento each day, depending on their schedule... although right now, watching TI coverage mostly.

I do play it from time to time, but it's like 2-3 runs per month versus 2-3 per week.

Caverns Below is getting a nerf that requires a minion be played 5 times. I unpacked it on day one but never play it because it's not very fun.. Hello free dust!

There is another of those "choose your champion" events for a tournament. I picked Muzzy, and I don't know why.

I picked him too.

So, I really don't like playing top decks all that much, but after getting beat over and over by these secret mages, I guess I'm going to have to do it.

I have played since May 2014 and have all golden heroes but never made legend...mainly because I share the same sentiment...I take more joy in the few games I play when I create my own deck and beat a net deck.

Do you get anything for second? Kolento was the only one I have watched and lucked out.

How do I know who I voted for?

I randomly guessed and can't remember who I clicked on.

You'll get 2 or 3 packs, I think. I don't remember exactly how it works.

If you go back to the page for the championship it should tell you who you picked.

FYI - Caverns Below nerf went live today, so if you have it and don't want to play it you get a full 1600 dust refund for disenchant.

So, what do you do when you're facing 7 decent enemy minions the turn after playing Medivh? Free From Amber into Mayor Noggenfogger and the staff summons Anomalus. Happens to be a pretty good board clear.

Noggenfogger would be awesome if the ability allowed enemies to attack their own side of the field, but alas. RIP golden Mayor.
