I'm a former competative Magic: The Gathering player and experienced in TCG's and I can assure you that HS is not(!) pay to win. As a (quite) above avarage player, I had not to pay any money at all by winning regulary in the arena mode, and getting myself enough gold to get top tier decks without having to pay a single cent. It's a fun experience and even strong decks for basically no price at all are no availabe for everybody. just massage me if you need help/advice.
On the bright side, they added Tavern Brawl and Battlegrounds since this review with a new mode releasing in August and they revamped Ranked but I just find the game so unbalanced at times.
At first I thought this was a silly game, but knowing Blizzard I went and tried it, and it's pretty damn good. If you haven't tried it, just try it since it's for free, and you will probably like it and be happy you tried. If not, then you have nothing to lose anyways. I'm not a card player (aside from poker and such), and not at all involved in the battle arena/D&D/trading world. I like Halo, Blizzard games, Half Life - shooters and racers and some rpgs in general. And I liked this game... So... go try it out :)
Honestly I much rather prefer Mojang's Scrolls over this. The only thing that sucks about it is its very new and is still in beta and cost $20. It might go free soon cuz not many people play it due to this game. But I tend to not like free games like this because their is so many paygates. Scrolls is also a lot more complex, which can sometimes be frustrating, but the visuals are so much better it actually looks more like a miniature tabletop game more than a card game. And when u win and trade and get new scrolls its so rewarding.
Oh man i use King Krush along with Alyxxstraza and that has led to some of the hilarious wins in certain loss situations i agree completely with the review needs a bit for crafting cards with dust can take ages especially for legendarys and while turning those some card into dust gives you 1/4th dust back, a legendary cost 1600 to craft and if you're converting it into dust you'll get 400 dust enough to craft a epic card but not a legendary which will take you 1200 dust to collect and can take ages.
People that say this game is "pay to win", either are really bad at it or they don't want to take the time to learn the game. I don't mean learning the rules either. I mean taking time to try different card combinations and tweaking their deck(s) to see what works.
I really like the game, but i think having an ingame store for people to sell their cards for money would ruin the balance of things. I hope that wizard also realizes this :3
As is stands there are a lot of bugs in the game. Some from minor bugs like cards appearing in your hand once you have played them, to major stuff like certain cards just working incorrectly. There have been these problems in the beta for a while and the release hasn't fixed them and brought a few more bugs a long with it.
At least you didn't say that my assessment of the game was inaccurate. I like the pic of Tesla though. It's a nice choice and makes you seem intelligent.
Eric Canterbury You can earn gold in. daily missions ,you dont have to spend any actual money and its better not to as you get pushed into higher player brackets.
Great game but my only gripes are how unbalanced it is and the currency, the game can be broken at times for example a mage deleting all minions you put on the board which is basically 0 counterplay, or buffing a card that can litterally kill you in 1 or 2 hits, not long ago i buffed a card that dealt 22 damage which instantly won me the game, its broken and needs tweaks, even though 90% of this game is about luck i still think it could be balanced better. The currency is really bad, selling a card will give you like 5, wtf? Cards cost hundreds but theh only let you sell most of the cards for 5-20, its stupid.
I'm guessing you did some priest buffing to get that minion with 22 attack, and that's fun and all, but Hearthstone has too many removal cards, so it's too risky to play like that. While it feels good to hit the opponent for so much, you pretty much lose if it gets silenced or removed. The way to play around flamestrike is to just not play too many minions on the field. Make it so flamestrike only kills at best 2 or 3 guys. Simple as that.
Why do people say it's pay to win? I've been having a blast and even if I lose it doesn't feel that it's because they have better cards than me but that the cards I drew just weren't the ones I wanted or he outplayed me. It's fun and grinding for months doesn't seem bad since I'm having a blast.
I can't even beat one of the computers I'm so bad at this game. I've been playing this game avidly for 2 months and I've only unlocked the Rogue, I'm really bad at this game. Any tips? Please?
Been playing this game for a week and it sucks in my opinion. Some cards extremely unbalanced and there's a huge learning curve for beginners. Gold is hard grind which makes the game pay to win.
TheTervaskanto I am new to this game and i am amazed how much you learn every day , you don't have to spend money if you manage your daily quests and watch some streamers (Trump , Kripp ....)
Soul woff you ment daily quest because one a day is all you're going to get after you're done with your begginer quests. You won't get far without legends and rares no matter how good you play or how many streams you watch.
Started playing it today and played match after match with my friend for at least six hours. I found it easy to get into but that's just me the only thing is crafting isn't explained and what I didn't know about certain things my friend told me.
its a good game but its hard to get into since i come from a yugioh background the gameplay is just so different and why are the cards oval could they just stay card shape
i wish they make godzilla trading card game 2....the first one was pretty awesome but has some flaws....i think godzilla trading card battle should be revived if card games are going to get moved into video game world. godzilla card game was the only card game that i have ever played that features 2 separate decks 1) main deck and 2) battle deck for each player...and only card game that has RPG system built into it (such as minions gaining experience, leveling up, transforming into different stages in game)
I've played a dangerous amount of this game ever since it was in Beta, but I suck at it, and so it's hard to earn cards and really you just stuck in one position, I still really like it though.
Just go to Ihearthu and read up on some articles. Watch some matches on youtube too, like the king of the hill matches. You learn a lot just watching other people play.
It is already a full game and what do you mean by private matches? Like some CoD lobby like feature? That's just unneccesary since you can already duel friends and doing team-matches (if that is what you're reffering to) is just unbalanced and stupid.
Well i never played any card games before. i don't really like them, but man this game is addictive. i have spent so many hours. As for the the pay to win thing some people say, yeah sure more money = better cards. but i haven't spent any and still doing good. almost got legend too. you must have patience. The one thing i'd like to mention though is how difficult the game has become for newcomers since the release of Naxx and GVG. I think blizzard should do something about this. Besides that, hearthstone is a great game
i really like this game...i suck at magic the gathering so when my friend said i should play this i thought the learning curve would be just as hard as Magic's but it's really easy to learn and really fun
Huh, Blizzard is pretty smart. I think they created this, in the sense of getting it to tablets, when it's ready for them. And that will create's sum serious dough.
BEST F2P game ever just like dota 2 you get every day 3 quest for gold and after a couple of them they get more difficult but still and you get MUCH more gold
f2p????HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...no.Dota 2 is f2p hearthstone is pay to win.You can get only 100 gold each day from matches, you can get some gold from quests and the main gold income if you are not noob is the arena.But even you are a good player you wont buy more than 2 packs a day.And guess what?the cards will be useless most of time and since you cant trade you have to sacrifice 1000 cards to get the card you want.And once you built the deck you want NERF PUNCH!and meta swifts.I am ranked 6 atm with 0 money spent but i see often total noobs this high because of expensive control based decks.Those people should be rank 18 at best but still i see them between 6-9.So it is PAY TO WIN.
Guys should I get hearthstone. Im not usually into card games but this looks appealing to me mainly cuz of the class system and the simple actions the card does. How much does it cost?
yea i just found out. Im starting out but Im not getting into it cuz of the randomness. Like I get an advantage and the opponent suddenly gets a random card that is perfect for the situation
If you are a new player get ready to spend $$$. If not prepare yourself for weeks of grinding gold. Dont play any ranked games, you will be destroyed by people with full decks of rare and legendary cards.
It has some really off putting features. If you have played magic the gathering then you may not like this. Not being able to play cards when its your opponents turn is really frustrating. its also frustrating when you are using strategy to win a game and some pulls out a bought and paid for card that takes half your health away. The priest is broken and op.
There Will Be Bacon There has been plenty of games coming out this year... Shitloads of Indies, Titanfall, Thief, and Broken Age. I've played all of those and so far I'm enjoying Hearthstone the most.
MrFrexys its not a trading card system. I pay for a card pack or whatever and then trade the ones i dont need to a friend so he doesnt have to pay or even play the game to get cards. So many ways you can exploit the trading system
People before you install this game you have to know that you will either grind for months to get some decent deck that will be useless when the ''meta'' swifts or you will pay 60-100$.There is no way around.This is a cute pay to win game, anyone telling you otherwise is either too new in the game or a kiddo that payed and wants to feel a good player.If rank 10-9 is good for you ok the game is good.If you want higher rank without paying then it's not.
You left out the details of interactive backgrounds and the simple clicking on the dirt so it would be like a stomp... But the game is nowhere near that good... It's really unbalanced, I started playing when the free beta came at the same time as my friends, played it for a couple of weeks and then stopped, while my friends kept playing, when I went back to it and played versus them their decks where so much better because of rare cards that I hardly had any shot if I didn't get extremely lucky... And a game shouldn't be like that...
How can you write a review for this game, and not even mention the extreme amount of bugs? Especially when most of them can severely break the game. Don't get me wrong, i love Hearthstone but a review should explain the state of the game on release not Blizzards vision of it in the future. The game is a great concept with great design, when it works but Hearthstone has more bugs on release day then it had all through the beta. Defender of Argus doesn't work right about half the time, the order of minions on the board bugs out, cards bug out in your hand where they can't be selected, cards bug out and get stuck on your opponents side of the board, minions float in mid air and can't be targeted, the end turn button bugs out and can't be pressed, matches freeze up leaving both players in limbo till one person has to concede and give away the game, the audio bugs out constantly or the music doesn't play at all, the list goes on and on. Either you didn't play the game enough to give it valid review or your a bad reviewer leaving out key downfalls to the game, which is it? The game isn't fit for release and when i watch a review i'd expect that to be mentioned.
The game is still in beta, so boohoo bro stop whining so much. While I have experienced all the bugs you've mentioned, none of them caused me much tragedy. The minions hopping around is still a problem yeh, but it doesn't happen very often, and I've never had Argus not buff the dudes I wanted him to. Cards do indeed bug out in your hand, and sometimes you can't play the card you want to, but it's uncommon, and they'll have it fixed eventually. I've never lost a game because of it. Minions floating in midair can indeed be targeted. That glitch is not a problem. On the contrary, it's rather humorous when that happens. The only time I've had a game stuck in limbo is in a friendlies match, so I didn't care so much. I just conceded and we started another one. And music glitches happen sometimes, but pfff who cares?
I find this game to be extremely boring and uninteresting. When I play a game with other players, especially a card game, I'd like to interact with said player, not just sit there and wait for them to end their turn. I'd like to actually think about stuff before I play it, Wondering "If I play this, will it get countered." That's the problem. Nothing is countered when played so some dude just stack his deck with burn abilities, gg....
Dont play if you dont want to invest money into it. The way you getting coins is too slow so all your decks will contain the same cards and game become repetive and boring.
To the people who say "This is exactly like Magic"... Are you guys retarded? Seriously, The ONLY thing these two games have in common is "mana" and even then it's not even the same. This game is so horrible compared to Magic. In my opinion, this game is like "Magic for the people too stupid to actually know how to play Magic."
This game is great! but seriously its all about the luck of the draw. IF you get good cards there is some strategy but if you dont start out strong youre fucked
I had this problem until I seriously reevaluated my play style and changed my deck around. Instead of all those high mana damage dealing cards, go with low mana cards, taunts and spells that boosts your low mana cards. If you have the right deck, it's hard to get a bad draw.
"but if you dont start out strong youre fucked" That's not true at all. No offense, but if you think that the only way to do well is if you start out strong, then you're not very good.
***** Nah, if you start an arena match, and you're going first and you mulligan all three cards and get back 3 cards that cost 5+ and you end up unable to play anything till turn 4 or something, you will lose. Simple as that. There is no wild pyromancer + equality comebacks in arena unless you're lucky to have drafted that, so yeh. If you have an ass start, you lose. And it happens sometimes.
The best card in this game is MasterCard.
+Oto Suchomel Actually, it's drawed with Visa and Amex.
Been playing for 4 years and I haven't felt the need to spend a single penny on this game. What are you talking about?
I love how he called a trading card game after complaining that you can't trade cards.
Great review for a great game!
Well played.
Kyojin Well Met!

0:22 mistake. It's a CCG not a TCG.
All these years later and no yu-gi-oh tcg app yet :/
Ikr
Ygo pro is on your phone and everything is free
there's yugioh duel links
After this many years still nothing
Such a great game. Still playing after 6 years!
Funny how much this review holds up today, 6 years later, same complaints and issues
On the bright side, they added Tavern Brawl and Battlegrounds since this review with a new mode releasing in August and they revamped Ranked but I just find the game so unbalanced at times.
kind of amazed this video doesnt even have 100k views
it does, Eric.
I can confirm
I like how in all these clips he's loosing.
+Breith Huseljic because 2 os would be the word for making something less tight with an ing added to the end.
I usually don't spend money on F2Play, but this game is soooooo Great, I unknowingly spend countless amount of money on it,but money well spent! ^_^
That Elite Tauren Chieftain animation made me happy
0:53 Oh, 2014, how times have changed.
Never really liked card games and the only one I tried wa Magic and that was okay. But this. I play it more than I play my consoles anymore.
It's addicting
vary nice review. the game is pretty fun and is going to grow for sure
At first I thought this was a silly game, but knowing Blizzard I went and tried it, and it's pretty damn good. If you haven't tried it, just try it since it's for free, and you will probably like it and be happy you tried. If not, then you have nothing to lose anyways.

Oh man i use King Krush along with Alyxxstraza and that has led to some of the hilarious wins in certain loss situations
i agree completely with the review needs a bit for crafting cards with dust can take ages especially for legendarys and while turning those some card into dust gives you 1/4th dust back, a legendary cost 1600 to craft and if you're converting it into dust you'll get 400 dust enough to craft a epic card but not a legendary which will take you 1200 dust to collect and can take ages.
You don't say card-based game random… it is your DESTINY!!! BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF CARDS!!!
might do a series of this on my channel! Why didn't hear about this sooner??!?!?
the most annoying thing are slow players
I mean some ppl online rly need 90 sec for almost every turn
this is hella annoying srsly
step up your game
Good thing for timed battles now whew!
i play hearthstone windowed with another game anyway so it doesnt really bother me much...but yeah I agree how slow some people take their turns
Or people who purposely rope you just to get you to concede out of boredom.
Dude you're everywhere. I just saw you on cross counter lol
5:25 he said well played to the Innkeeper lol
People that say this game is "pay to win", either are really bad at it or they don't want to take the time to learn the game. I don't mean learning the rules either. I mean taking time to try different card combinations and tweaking their deck(s) to see what works.
I really like the game, but i think having an ingame store for people to sell their cards for money would ruin the balance of things. I hope that wizard also realizes this :3
looks pretty solid for a card game which is what i'm used to of blizzard ofcourse
probably gonna check it out
Can you organize your cards by race? I would love to make a tauren-themed deck.
As is stands there are a lot of bugs in the game. Some from minor bugs like cards appearing in your hand once you have played them, to major stuff like certain cards just working incorrectly. There have been these problems in the beta for a while and the release hasn't fixed them and brought a few more bugs a long with it.
Terrible again since the new expansion.
1) Buy some packs
2) Play mage
3) Spam face
4) Win
At least you didn't say that my assessment of the game was inaccurate. I like the pic of Tesla though. It's a nice choice and makes you seem intelligent.

You can earn gold in. daily missions ,you dont have to spend any actual money and its better not to as you get pushed into higher player brackets.
Great game but my only gripes are how unbalanced it is and the currency, the game can be broken at times for example a mage deleting all minions you put on the board which is basically 0 counterplay, or buffing a card that can litterally kill you in 1 or 2 hits, not long ago i buffed a card that dealt 22 damage which instantly won me the game, its broken and needs tweaks, even though 90% of this game is about luck i still think it could be balanced better.
The currency is really bad, selling a card will give you like 5, wtf? Cards cost hundreds but theh only let you sell most of the cards for 5-20, its stupid.
I'm guessing you did some priest buffing to get that minion with 22 attack, and that's fun and all, but Hearthstone has too many removal cards, so it's too risky to play like that. While it feels good to hit the opponent for so much, you pretty much lose if it gets silenced or removed.
The way to play around flamestrike is to just not play too many minions on the field. Make it so flamestrike only kills at best 2 or 3 guys. Simple as that.
When facing a Mage, play around Flamestrike. When you get close to 7 mana don't put more than 2 Minions onto the board.
Why do people say it's pay to win? I've been having a blast and even if I lose it doesn't feel that it's because they have better cards than me but that the cards I drew just weren't the ones I wanted or he outplayed me. It's fun and grinding for months doesn't seem bad since I'm having a blast.
man... those goddamn ultra rare legendaries.
This reminds me of the old pokemon training card games on pc . Was Awsome , so gonna give this a try
I can't even beat one of the computers I'm so bad at this game. I've been playing this game avidly for 2 months and I've only unlocked the Rogue, I'm really bad at this game. Any tips? Please?
I think it looks too cartoony. But it is 5 years old at this point.
Been playing this game for a week and it sucks in my opinion. Some cards extremely unbalanced and there's a huge learning curve for beginners. Gold is hard grind which makes the game pay to win.
True, this game is very new player unfriendly.
TheTervaskanto I am new to this game and i am amazed how much you learn every day , you don't have to spend money if you manage your daily quests and watch some streamers (Trump , Kripp ....)
Soul woff you ment daily quest because one a day is all you're going to get after you're done with your begginer quests. You won't get far without legends and rares no matter how good you play or how many streams you watch.
Started playing it today and played match after match with my friend for at least six hours. I found it easy to get into but that's just me the only thing is crafting isn't explained and what I didn't know about certain things my friend told me.
The learning curve isn't massive, but the game is definitely pay to win.
Funny how only the newbs are saying that this card game is pay to win.
This game goes great after a raid wipe or a loss combo on bgs.
I recently started to play this game and so far its been really good :)
I'm so addicted to this game
its a good game but its hard to get into since i come from a yugioh background the gameplay is just so different and why are the cards oval could they just stay card shape
Can I play that game offline or I have to be connected to the Internet for my android tablet
You have to be connected to the Internet
i wish they make godzilla trading card game 2....the first one was pretty awesome but has some flaws....i think godzilla trading card battle should be revived if card games are going to get moved into video game world.
godzilla card game was the only card game that i have ever played that features 2 separate decks 1) main deck and 2) battle deck for each player...and only card game that has RPG system built into it (such as minions gaining experience, leveling up, transforming into different stages in game)

Just go to Ihearthu and read up on some articles. Watch some matches on youtube too, like the king of the hill matches. You learn a lot just watching other people play.
Yeah, I might start using LiquidHearth and stuff, because I've been using nothing but wits, and apparently I don't have any wits.
I feel like this is the only competitive game I am decent at. I suck at everything else :(
the game still in beta or it's reased ready
Magic the gathering has wayyyy more strategy and more unique and fun ways to build a deck.
In the full game will private matches be coming in?
It is already a full game and what do you mean by private matches? Like some CoD lobby like feature? That's just unneccesary since you can already duel friends and doing team-matches (if that is what you're reffering to) is just unbalanced and stupid.
So its officially out now? Not in beta anymore?
yea
Well i never played any card games before. i don't really like them, but man this game is addictive. i have spent so many hours. As for the the pay to win thing some people say, yeah sure more money = better cards. but i haven't spent any and still doing good. almost got legend too. you must have patience. The one thing i'd like to mention though is how difficult the game has become for newcomers since the release of Naxx and GVG. I think blizzard should do something about this. Besides that, hearthstone is a great game
MrMoonwalker1992 Yea man I dont like card games as well. im installing the game now and Im pumped seeing ow many peopple say this game is awesome xD
i really like this game...i suck at magic the gathering so when my friend said i should play this i thought the learning curve would be just as hard as Magic's but it's really easy to learn and really fun
Now i want a Yu-Gi-Oh game
Hm, maybe I'll actually try it. Nice review.
Huh, Blizzard is pretty smart. I think they created this, in the sense of getting it to tablets, when it's ready for them. And that will create's sum serious dough.
I thought its only downside was that theires only enough of it
BEST F2P game ever just like dota 2 you get every day 3 quest for gold and after a couple of them they get more difficult but still and you get MUCH more gold
f2p????HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...no.Dota 2 is f2p hearthstone is pay to win.You can get only 100 gold each day from matches, you can get some gold from quests and the main gold income if you are not noob is the arena.But even you are a good player you wont buy more than 2 packs a day.And guess what?the cards will be useless most of time and since you cant trade you have to sacrifice 1000 cards to get the card you want.And once you built the deck you want NERF PUNCH!and meta swifts.I am ranked 6 atm with 0 money spent but i see often total noobs this high because of expensive control based decks.Those people should be rank 18 at best but still i see them between 6-9.So it is PAY TO WIN.
Guys should I get hearthstone. Im not usually into card games but this looks appealing to me mainly cuz of the class system and the simple actions the card does. How much does it cost?
It's a free game.
yea i just found out. Im starting out but Im not getting into it cuz of the randomness. Like I get an advantage and the opponent suddenly gets a random card that is perfect for the situation
MrRodax This leads you to pick different cards for your deck.
uh i played it i dont like it.
Get yugioh its much better
If you are a new player get ready to spend $$$. If not prepare yourself for weeks of grinding gold. Dont play any ranked games, you will be destroyed by people with full decks of rare and legendary cards.
It has some really off putting features. If you have played magic the gathering then you may not like this. Not being able to play cards when its your opponents turn is really frustrating. its also frustrating when you are using strategy to win a game and some pulls out a bought and paid for card that takes half your health away. The priest is broken and op.
Ill stick with YuGiOh...
decodatv Maybe for the video game, but yugioh is a bit more complex than the card game...although both card games are awesome...
Both are fun card games TBH
That stupid anime ruined yu-gi-oh for me. It literally made no sense.
Those were the days :)
decodatv the original anime for yugioh was cool through the marik saga...but after that the show just got stupid...
I love this game!! It's deff something new and different!
i keep hearing about this game
I watched this in 2021
dat nightblade
I'm loving the game so far... SO FAR, my number one game for the year so.
Makes since considering the 3 games that have come out this year.
There Will Be Bacon There has been plenty of games coming out this year... Shitloads of Indies, Titanfall, Thief, and Broken Age. I've played all of those and so far I'm enjoying Hearthstone the most.
Oh yeah, I looked over a lot, I just think Hearthstone is really addicting, always coming back.
What console this on, yo? !
remain me of digimon card battle
Best trading card game out there! I play lots of card games so this is totally unbiased.
i have a question? can you add people on hearthstone? cuz i want someone to help me out on hearthstone so yeah reply if you know if you can add people
yes you can add people by clicking on the bottom right hand corner of the screen which will pop up a menu allowing you to add friends
ok thanks
Is this offline
Boys! LOOK WHO IT IS
this game is fun, but i got turned off to it because people take way too long to take their turn.
you cant have a trading cards system if the game is free to play
Yes you can. They've clearly done it.
MrFrexys except its not a trading card game, since you can't trade the cards.
MrFrexys its not a trading card system. I pay for a card pack or whatever and then trade the ones i dont need to a friend so he doesnt have to pay or even play the game to get cards. So many ways you can exploit the trading system
Blergh how do you trade cards?
tomschrauwen you dont, thats what i'm saying :/
It's a ccg not tcg
Great game
People before you install this game you have to know that you will either grind for months to get some decent deck that will be useless when the ''meta'' swifts or you will pay 60-100$.There is no way around.This is a cute pay to win game, anyone telling you otherwise is either too new in the game or a kiddo that payed and wants to feel a good player.If rank 10-9 is good for you ok the game is good.If you want higher rank without paying then it's not.
You left out the details of interactive backgrounds and the simple clicking on the dirt so it would be like a stomp... But the game is nowhere near that good... It's really unbalanced, I started playing when the free beta came at the same time as my friends, played it for a couple of weeks and then stopped, while my friends kept playing, when I went back to it and played versus them their decks where so much better because of rare cards that I hardly had any shot if I didn't get extremely lucky... And a game shouldn't be like that...
I'm not saying the game is bad, I'm saying it's unbalanced... And it is...

Defender of Argus doesn't work right about half the time, the order of minions on the board bugs out, cards bug out in your hand where they can't be selected, cards bug out and get stuck on your opponents side of the board, minions float in mid air and can't be targeted, the end turn button bugs out and can't be pressed, matches freeze up leaving both players in limbo till one person has to concede and give away the game, the audio bugs out constantly or the music doesn't play at all, the list goes on and on. Either you didn't play the game enough to give it valid review or your a bad reviewer leaving out key downfalls to the game, which is it? The game isn't fit for release and when i watch a review i'd expect that to be mentioned.
Does IGN review games or are they advertising them?
The game is still in beta, so boohoo bro stop whining so much.
While I have experienced all the bugs you've mentioned, none of them caused me much tragedy.
The minions hopping around is still a problem yeh, but it doesn't happen very often, and I've never had Argus not buff the dudes I wanted him to.
Cards do indeed bug out in your hand, and sometimes you can't play the card you want to, but it's uncommon, and they'll have it fixed eventually. I've never lost a game because of it.
Minions floating in midair can indeed be targeted. That glitch is not a problem. On the contrary, it's rather humorous when that happens.
The only time I've had a game stuck in limbo is in a friendlies match, so I didn't care so much. I just conceded and we started another one.
And music glitches happen sometimes, but pfff who cares?
IS THERE ANY GAME TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM BF4...RIGHT NOW NO BUT ....
This is definitely outdated.
Also first comment in over 5 years.
I find this game to be extremely boring and uninteresting. When I play a game with other players, especially a card game, I'd like to interact with said player, not just sit there and wait for them to end their turn. I'd like to actually think about stuff before I play it, Wondering "If I play this, will it get countered." That's the problem. Nothing is countered when played so some dude just stack his deck with burn abilities, gg....
can this be played on a mac?
+shay nelson I play on mac
yes it can
I think he forgot about arena!
KING KRUSH FOR THE WIN!!!!
Is this game that good I've never played a card game before?
strategy based game. its addicting
stephen19590 do your research. its a fast-paced strategy card game
Ameerul fast pasted it is not, unless you spend your life in reverse maybe haha
+stephen19590 well okay, I respect your opinion
+Ameerul opinion? You know the actual meaning of the word right?
I would play anlot more ifnit was on andriod already
game of the year 2014 :)
Dont play if you dont want to invest money into it. The way you getting coins is too slow so all your decks will contain the same cards and game become repetive and boring.
Near perfect balance? I disagree.
Hearthstone = best poker game
is this like magic the gathering?
Nothing like Magic, this is the easiest TCG in the history.
Yeah I would say its extremly similiar, but more fun
Pretty much MTG except you get 1 mana per turn up to a cap of 10, instead of having to play mana.
To the people who say "This is exactly like Magic"... Are you guys retarded? Seriously, The ONLY thing these two games have in common is "mana" and even then it's not even the same. This game is so horrible compared to Magic. In my opinion, this game is like "Magic for the people too stupid to actually know how to play Magic."
Bobby Wilson No it is similiar to Magic more than any other TCG i Have played.
I prefer Gwent lol
A good IGN review?!? Waaaaaa????
.
So addicting....
its beta!!!?
Rise of mythos is superior,
Awesome game.
This really makes you feel like hearthstone
This game is great! but seriously its all about the luck of the draw. IF you get good cards there is some strategy but if you dont start out strong youre fucked
I had this problem until I seriously reevaluated my play style and changed my deck around. Instead of all those high mana damage dealing cards, go with low mana cards, taunts and spells that boosts your low mana cards. If you have the right deck, it's hard to get a bad draw.
"but if you dont start out strong youre fucked"
That's not true at all. No offense, but if you think that the only way to do well is if you start out strong, then you're not very good.
***** whats your battle tag. i actually want to take time out of my day to prove this
***** Nah, if you start an arena match, and you're going first and you mulligan all three cards and get back 3 cards that cost 5+ and you end up unable to play anything till turn 4 or something, you will lose. Simple as that.
There is no wild pyromancer + equality comebacks in arena unless you're lucky to have drafted that, so yeh.
If you have an ass start, you lose. And it happens sometimes.
lkjkhfggd thank you, someone who actually isnt a douche and just wants people to feel bad. you realize an actual factor in the game
glad to be the 1010th
