Amaz's TURN 4 Victory at DreamHack Bucharest 2014

Surprisingly, Amaz didn't use a priest deck. Yeah, we're all used to seeing him play priest (don't expect him to play Rogue anytime soon). Anyway, Amaz is at the DreamHack Bucharest 2014 NESCAFE Hearthstone Tournament and he just made a big impression by winning a game by his fourth turn using a Hunter deck. His opponent was the first one to play, but didn't do anything. Amaz then used Coin to play a first turn Scavenging Hyena....

Mad Bomber Summoned Twice Really Has Issues

I used to have Mad Bomber on my budget Mage deck. Used to. Aside from being a strong 3/2 for a mere two mana, it boasts three damage! The downside? The targets are chosen randomly. Sometimes, they kill off exactly what you want to get rid of. Then again, it could also deal damage to yourself and to your opponents, perhaps as an evidence of Bomber's craziness. This short video clip here presents the absolute best a Mad Bomber can do. Kill...

Reach Legend in Hearthstone with a Relatively Cheap Priest Deck

Let's face it, apart from Control Warrior, Control Priests are the next expensive decks out there. From Alexstrasza to Prophet Velen to Ragnaros, legendary cards abound for this class. I think we are aware that Amaz uses an expensive Priest deck, especially with the Firelord and Sylvanas. However, even with all this, priests are still an uncommon sight in ranked play, perhaps because of the huge amount of aggro decks, especially those of Warlocks...

Aggro Frost Mage: Reach Legend Rank In Hearthstone

While everyone seems to be familiar of the fact that Trump was able to reach Legend using budget mage, there are now new varieties of mage decks that are going up the ranks. From those that utilize Ancient Watcher and Defender of Argus to those that have Knife Juggler and Arcane Golem, the mage is still a class to be considered in ranked play. This one, which has Wolf Rider and Leper Gnome, is an aggro Frost Mage deck. A key to winning here...

Countering UTH: The Victory of One is the Victory of All

RETRIBUTION He has done it. Redditor jonahmilo_ has finished the job. Sealing the deal with a perfectly placed Counterspell secret, his opponent's Unleash the Hounds was for naught, aside from the combo with Starving Buzzard not going off. This is a good day for all the players who have suffered from the countless Face Hunters. This is for every one who was a victim of UTH + Starving Buzzard + Timber Wolf. Let it be known in our lives...

Unleash the Nerf: UTH Unlikely To Be Redesigned In The Near Future

As can be seen and heard from the video, Ben Brode tells the audience that while Unleash the Hounds is getting a lot of attention for its cheap-costing but possibly game-changing effects, it can also be observed that players are devising unique decks to counter the dominant "Face" Hunters. Ben states that unusual, innovative decks are springing up in Ranked Play, with some of them allowing for that climb to Legend while countering the flood of...

Fireside Cardback Problems? Run Multiple Hearthstone Accounts On A Single Computer

Redditor Citrinate has provided an outlined set of instructions on how you can simultaneously play two or more games of Hearthstone using one device. The first thing to be done is download and install Sandboxie which has a free and a paid version. The former will only allow two plays to be done at the same time, instead of three which is essential for the "Fireside Friends" cardback opportunity. Check out the instructions below: 1. Download...

ODDLOCK: Redditor achieves Legend Rank with unique Warlock Deck

Redditor "adamant_r" was apparently having a long time being stuck from ranks 5 to 2. Yes, it was that close to hitting Legend and getting that special card back (Rant: Really wish you get rewards for hitting perhaps Rank 15, 10, and 5, and not just for being Rank 20 or higher and being legendary.). Anyway, according to him the deck has elements of the famous Handlock deck, however, there are not Twilight Drakes or Mountain Giants to be found. Instead...

Poison Seeds: A new removal for Druid from Curse of Naxxramas

The official Twitter account for Blizzard's online card game Hearthstone has just unveiled the first class-specific card in the form of "Poison Seeds". It's basically the great removal card, especially if your opponent has a lot of taunt-ed Ancient Watcher or other badass creatures. However, the downside (which is why it is only a common card and costs a mere four mana) is that each destroyed minion will be replaced by a 2/2 Treant. Yes, including...

Amaz's Deathwing Play Against A Hunter

We are all familiar with the amazing Amaz. This time around, he is battling against a Hunter is ranked play. The opponent had a Savannah Highmane, and Amaz needed a card to seal the deal. He had Holy Nova and Sunfury Protector and Nortshire Cleric in play. Luckily (or unluckily), he drew a Deathwing and was all smiles as the opponent played a Stampeding Kodo. More food for Deathwing, right? Watch what happens. Moral of the story: Some hunters...

Watcher Mage VS Aggro Mage in Hearthstone

Before discussing about the last game I had, I just want to say thanks to this Shaman user for giving me a "free" star. I'm not sure if you had connection problems or simply didn't want to battle against a mage, but thanks anyway. An Unexpected Victory After reading a couple of Nat Geo articles, I went online to have a go at Ranked Mode. I picked my Watcher Mage (which replaced Trump's Budget Mage). I am already content at Rank 18 anyway,...
