11-01-2023 Hearthstone Arena – Interrupted.

Two quick games of Arena mode before I was interrupted.

Alright, I’ve been away from streaming for a bit, but I’ve got a whole new setup. It’s not all new stuff, but it’s set up in a new place, a new way. So I am going to test it out tonight with some Hearthstone and see how that goes. Last month, actually just kind of casually playing Hearthstone, I felt like I didn’t do well. Got down to Platinum 8 for a ranking, so I don’t know if that’s good, bad, or middling, but

for casual play it seems pretty good to me. So I was thinking I’d see this month that I can do a little bit better than that. Just have my packs that I got as a reward for getting to that level. APAC, I guess. These save are available in November. Well, that’s November now. Don’t seem to be, but that’s okay. Some Fire Clergy here. Elise Fell. Now I don’t play Warlock or Demon Hunter very often, but yeah, I should probably branch out soon with some of the other classes as well. Okay, that Death Blossom Womper could be good if I play Druid, but I’m actually going to stick to Priest right now.

Let’s see what I’ve got going on for quests. It’s been a 500 mana. Three games is Warlock, or Brew Warlock or Warrior. Three games is Death Knight, Demon Hunter, or Druid. Forge 10 cards. Lots of times for these class-specific quests, I like to use Arena because I don’t have really a lot of class decks going on right now. So I’m going to hop on to Arena and see if I can score one of these classes to bang out some quests. Okay, Warrior was definitely one of them, as was Demon Hunter. I think I’m going to go with… Oh, it’s that dual class cramp that probably won’t get me my quests that I need to do, but that’s okay. Finding Silence is a lot more powerful than I used to think it was. Thank you. It’s a 1-1 for two, though, so that’s pretty expensive. I’m going to go with the Jeshman. To attack, I have no other minions versus giving all my minions plus 1 plus 1. Hopefully I’ll have a lot of minions. Just like Silence and finding untargetability for spells is pretty powerful too. Damage is always good. How many damage spells am I going to get? Or how many Forge cards I’ll get, so thank you. That’s a good vacancy. Stay up and rush and win for now. It’s hard to go wrong with that, so yeah, don’t know if we’ll get more rips. That’s really the hard part of Arena, is not knowing what you’re going to get. Now, this looks like it’s a 5, 6, or 4 with taunt, which sounds crazy strong to me.

It’s not in life steal, but again, I’ve got to get weapons to make that cheap enough to use. Here’s a weapon. Looks like the Serena Run wants to give me weapon-related things. Random effect, or another bash. I don’t solve minions, or this guy who’s basically an area of effect. 1 damage to all. See, a 2, 6 taunt for 4. These are way cheaper than cards like that used to be. I can go wrong with the stereo card. Give me weapon color. 2, 3, that might be a 3, 4.

Or a dualist, who gives me extra minions. A 3 attack and a 3, 3 seems like a decent value. Not going to have any secrets, and I don’t have another match. 4 damage and possibly 2 to all enemy minions, and you can’t go wrong with that. Okay. Was it too hard? I think this is going to be a great Arena run. I’m going to draw a lovelust or anything that’s going to be a game ender, but there should be enough cheap stuff here to get off this good start. Oh, hi, thank you for the follow. I really appreciate that. It’s not helped play. I know you can’t say hi yet, because I set it to 10 minute follower mode, but I do really appreciate that. Hold on to this minion to try to use it with this to get extra spells, or just play it and save this for later in the game.

That could be a problem. I’m not developmental, I want to throw out a token. I’m worried about running low on cards and things to do. I’m actually hoping for either healing or attack.

Well, they haven’t done much to me yet, so maybe that’ll turn out okay.

Yeah, I should try to press them. It feels like a waste of a turn to me, because all they really did there was prevent 1 damage, and they burned a spell that would have been super handy for them.

I think I want to use now, along with another totem, where I use both of these.

That’s going to be powerful when I can put that in the play. I think I want to drop these two minions so I can count on my buffs going to the walking count. I can turn 8 when I can get that out. Or turn 8 when I can get that out, so I can be powerful. This may just be my best song yet! Yeah, so for a long time I wanted to stream, and it was like my office kept just getting filled up with stuff. I could never make it neat enough to be comfortable working in. Now I’ve got a whole different room set up for it instead. 1 damage to an enemy minion. He’s a talent. Which means he’ll protect all these guys, including my stereo totem. I think that’s a must-do unless I’m going to burn the minions instead.

I must choose! Take! Shoot!

Oh, that’s painful. I get to keep my devouring Ectoplasma out of all of it. But at least I buffed this guy. I’m going to come with the injured Marauder. Strength totem instead. That’ll work. Oh, thank you for the adventure. I don’t think there’s any better option than this guy. He’s already buffed. Ah, he corrupted those. I’ve got poisonous and life steal.

I’ll take it.

I should be able to wrap this up by…

Burning a minion. That’s 1 and 0. Not a bad start.

I don’t hate that hand. Yeah.

Yep.

Oh, I’m sorry. Oh, hang on. I need to take a quick break. Which means… I’m probably going to lose this one, but that’s okay.

Let’s see how quick I can come back.

Alright, so the damage wasn’t too bad from that. They haven’t played anything yet. Looks like I only missed a turn, so I actually didn’t even miss a turn because I played one after I threw up the BRB screen. Oh. Go down the top, guy.

That’s a lot of minion for the price, too. Feels like there’s a lot of power creep going on in this game. That’s okay. Is there any way I can deal 2 to him? Play the Earth Revenant, deal 1, and then just waste this minion on it. Probably best thing to do.

That’s a problem, but I can now play three minions, two twos and a one. It’s probably worth using my Melomania to pick up a

B of Shaman spells.

Okay. Can’t afford it this turn, but that’s nice. It doesn’t help me right now.

I can tag them for two. Oh. That’s okay. Deal 3 damage to both of them. I can turn one of them into a frog with taunt. Cannot do both things, though. Can I just frog one of them?

Not good.

I don’t have a bloodlust, but the Missu doesn’t know that I don’t have bloodlust.

If I keep minions down, they’re going to have to waste their time killing my minions, thinking that I’m going to swarm them if they don’t. Do I have anything that’s worth not silencing? I’ve got that. That’s worth not silencing, but really nothing else. So I can ditch all their divine shields. Deal 3 damage to a minion and a random adjacent one. Okay. And then…

Use my minions. Oh, he doesn’t do that until he dies.

Just in time. That almost went horribly wrong.

That’s a problem.

Okay, so just powering up my minions and tagging them is not going to do the job. I can deal 3 damage to a minion and a random adjacent one. 6 damage to a minion. I’ll do less if I’m overloaded. I don’t think I’ve got anything to overload me. So for my 8 mana, I can burn the taunt. Burn that. And its neighbor.

Ace. A more health gain. I was hoping to finish you off. Well, maybe not finish you off, but make you worry anyway. Okay. I need to use 5 and 4 is 9.

And I just want them to think if they don’t kill my minions that I’m going to kill them at any time. And well, I don’t really want them to attack my minions either, but I’m hoping to pull something while I finish them off.

I can pull anything and it will let me get rid of that taunt.

I am starting to get into trouble. Low on options that have to do. They’ve got too many

options up there.

3 damage to all enemies. I’m going to be minions. But burn my own minion off. Use that guy. These are less than ideal cards.

Which I am. And that’s just throw a totem. Waste one of these cards. I say waste the lightning storm and I have to use both of these guys. He’s got three items. But I’m playing it pretty close to the bone here.

Oh, and now I have no options.

Hope I draw something.

Yeah, I don’t think I’m coming back from that one. Have I been poisoned? Yeah, they got me and they know. Well, if you miss you,

if you enjoy your win.

I don’t think there’s anything in here that can attack me at this point. Well played. Back at the end of the game.
