How Expensive is Hearthstone 

Greetings people did you know that you can still get early access to duels just by watchin the Stream on Twitch!?!?! Whaat thats like insane twitch.tv/solem

I'm broke so I just play Priest and use Thought Steals and Mind Visions to take expensive cards from my richer opponents.

Conclusion: Hearthstone is pay to fun

Easy solution: Get one account for each class you want to play. Kappa.

Riot's Runeterra is much more... 'clever" in it's monetisation. Main monetisation focus is cosmetics (not cards), and those cosmetics are awesome. Like custom skin for your side of board, with exclusive soudtrack and animations (with new KDA board you can even change the track) A pet with different animations Tons of emotions Battle pass (for more cosmetics) Cardbacks ofc. I'm pretty sure there will be different card animations soon. As a result i feel no restrictions in deck experementations, and i can just buy the Bilgewater board because i "want" it, not cause i "need"it. I fill up my collecton to max long before new cards go out without excessive grinding, often not caring about quests at all.

I always say "pay to play more than one class"

It's not p2w if you play wild Join the wild today

Yo Solem Now there are 10 old gods in the game 3 C'thun (normal, boomsday, darkmoon) 3 N'zoth (normal, darkmoon hero, darkmoon cards) 2 Yogg (normal and darkmoon) 2 Y'Shaarj (normal and darkmoon) I remember giving you a cookie for the 3 old gods deck, so how about a proportional offer of 3,33 cookies to play this ?

A card market in a digital card game like HS has many problems, like alt accounts... Maybe only allow players with all classes level 20-30 to buy and sell cards.

Introduce a wild card system. Wild cards for different rarities drop in every 5 or ten packs and can be redeemed for any card of that rarity. That way people are still incentivized to buy packs but you can actually open the things you need without the odds being a billion to one

Hearthstone economy is a joke. Idk why they bother asking the community what they want to change in the game when they blatantly ignore the top choice which is always the economy. The duplicate protection system is a joke, last 5 legendaries ive opened were duplicates.

It wouldn't be pay2whatever if gold wasn't so rare.

the reason people can live with themselves spending 500 on a Yugioh deck is because there is resell value

Don't use the word "investment". You will never get a return on that investment.

Imaging getting each week a sale dissenchant like this weeks sale is reno jackson u can dissenchant it for 800 dust and craft it for 800,get 10 cards each week to craft/dissenchant 2 legendaries 3 epics and 5 rares

So I've been playing hearthstone on and off for 3 years, completely free to play, I never spent a dime. I'm level 40ish with 3 characters, I have 2 complete decks and a deck I need to improve on along with a new one I want to make. AFTER 3 YEARS OF PLAYING?!!? Thats pretty absurd and I'm forced to play 3 classes AFTER 3 YEARS because I have to disenchant every other card I get. This game is seriously busted with its grind and prices but the game and decks I made are really fun so here I am playing a price gouging game. Also the most messed up thing this game has done to me is when I had a shaman deck and needed a certain card to make it better, that was ONLY available halfway through an adventure that made me save up 2800 gold over a few months. Its absurd.

Just read the title, and my first response was “Hell yeah! Is that even a question?!”

What about we make are able to unlock every card from the current expansion directly by just playing the game. No packs, no dust, no RNG with card gaining. Maybe you unlock tokens of each rarity as you play so you can choose which card you want to unlock of that rarity. Like the new progression path they are adding, but with just tokens and maybe some cosmetics. Then Blizzard can monetize all the other cosmetic stuff and let the players actually use all the cards they made without RNG deciding their fate.

Me spending to get an all golden deck Pay to be cool

Obligatory LOR has a much more generous reward system comment

The Yu-Gi-Oh thing was quite odd, since this is digital and the cards have next to zero actual value in the secondary market. With paper tcgs there's resale value and actual return on investment.

Pay to have fun! That's the point

im full f2p playing since 2015 and it's not that bad. i don't even dust wild cards (that were good and i can't make deck with them). i usually have 1-2 tier 1 decks, few tier 2. and some wild decks like razakus, cube warlock, even shaman. i'll recommend people to play wild more often because you don't have to create new deck every 4 months.

Hearth$tone, where a woefully incomplete expansion to your game is more expensive than an entire AAA video game during a steam sale.

its more like "pay to have fun"

Hearthstone needs something like the shrine of secrets from dead by daylight. Every week, 10 or so cards will be free to use for everyone, and discounted if you would like to craft them

Hearthstone used to be my favorite card game of all time, I even went so far as to spend 200$ on it, a choice that I do not regret since I believe good games should be rewarded in some way, especially if they are free to play. The thing is, I am an expairimenter. I like learning through making mistakes and adjusting my strategy. The problem with Hearthstone is that making mistakes is extremely painful as far as deck building goes. If I burn a bajillion dust to build a crazy idea for a deck I had and it turns out to suck I can't just go back and use those resources to make another deck: disenchanting only returns an abysmal 25% of the dust you put into a deck. While the game does give good avenues for getting cards either through spending money or time it just isn't worth it. I don't want to either grind for two monthes to get enough dust for a deck, or else shell out 100$ dollars to get enough dust to make my deck. I played Hearthstone from Whispers of the Old Gods all the way to League of Villains. I had a lot of fun with this game, but I've since moved onto other digital card games.

Nah heartstone is play 24 every day to get a decent deck

If you spend that money on a Yu-Gi-Oh deck, you now have the deck and can _resell it_ in the future if you want. Money you put into Hearthstone (just like every other gacha game) might as well disappear into the void.

Think of how many other games cost thousands of dollars to just start on an even playing field. Almost none. Basketball baseball soccer football chess checkers backgammon speedrunning Rocketleague darts poker gin cribbage athletics? None of them. Hearthstone players are in an abusive relationship and I can't believe yall accept this shit. I get that they need some kind of money to survive, but imagine playing Madden ans either playing with backups on 1 or 2 teams, paying 200 dollars to expand to 4 teams ans starters, or 2000 for the full rosters, the franchise would be disgraced and dead in a heartbeat

asking ''is HS P2W'' is the equivalent of asking "is HS a card game'' imo

Pay to win doesn't mean just literally pay $70 for +5% damage. Two new players might jump in and look at the same hunter deck recipe. One player uses suboptimal substitutes and the other payed money so they craft better cards and win matches that the other player wouldn't. Even with the example of the top tier budget deck, you have less room to experiment with what works and what decks are easier for you. Sure a top player can rocket to legend with any tier 1/2 deck but a typical player might have a 49% winrate with one of those decks and 51% with the one they can't afford. They lose 2 in 100 games because they didn't pay to win.

Almost 3 years later, this video is so relevant. Whenever I have an itch to play hearthstone again, I feel some kind of barrier. And you described this barrier perfectly. I know the game will gate the fun to try and nickel and dime me.

I used to play FFA till there got a point where absurd legendaries became too frequent. Then I became Mr. Face and killed opponent on turn 5/6 before they could play their absurd legendries. Eventually I got fed up and uninstalled the game.

The funny thing is that all they have to do to help f2p is change dust numbers to help new players, yet they will never do. Imagine if they change disenchant legendary from 400 to an actual fair amount

It's the second time I see you comparing the free rotation of champs in League with Hearthstone. We could use something like that, but take a look at Legends of Runeterra since they're greatly f2p with stuff like wildcards and tons of rewards weekly. That's where HS devs should be aiming, not with a battle pass that barely improves anything

I'm not getting tired to say: - Shaft Classic and Basic Set - Make a 'Core' Set with 66% staying and 33% new cards each HS year Whizzbang would be a wonderful addition to such a set.

As a Yu-gi-oh player, I’d love to add that when you buy a full meta deck, you can always SELL it again when you’re bored when in Hearthstone, well tous dust them...

I still dont have a shield slam and ive been playing for 1,5 years. I think it is ptw, yes

I feel like epics need a fix, they're terribly overpriced with small effects and very limited use

Short answer: Yes, it is.

How is this video a near 15 minutes video? XD Hearthstone is Blizzard’s take on casino games inspired from that of Las Vegas. It’s not pay to win, it’s a pay to lose game. Done. Don’t even need to make a video to answer that question.

I keep thinking a subscription model might work better with people paying a (small) fee each month for access to the competitive ladder and package complete access to the all of the cards in an expansion with that.

I'm a ftp player and as long as I do the quests every day I get enough gold to buy 60ish packs and with the new thing that doesn't let you open two of the same card I get every rare and most epics...then enough dust to craft almost any deck I want.

It's mind boggling how people think "Well, you can reach a very high rank without paying, so it's not p2w", by that logic, almost not a single game is p2w. Imagine csgo but every weapon costs $100000 just to have available, well, technically speaking, you can win with knife only, you just have to git gud, so it's not p2w. If two players are equally skilled and spend an equal time in game, but one is a whale and the other is f2p, the whale will win against the f2p more often than not. This is BY DEFINITION p2w.

Whizbang being a mechanism to give players a chance to test out decks is a great idea.

Its pay to have fun and i always said exactly this. This is why the disaster that was Artifact shouldnt have failed and it angers me. The game itself was absolut crap, but the bussiness model was 100% fun, despite what idiots would say. In magic, yugioh, pokemon, what do you do to play? you buy a fukkin starter-deck. these take you back 20 bucks. Why exactly are digital card-games something that should be free to play and never follow the rules of a physical card game? Because guess what happend in atrifact: fun-decks indeed, cost nothing. And thats why the dust-system of hearthstone is simply shit. If i want to play an overload-only shaman which will probably never really win games in a meaningful matter, why should i pay EXACTLY the same as a meta-deck? In magic, if i wanted to play a curse-deck, i pay like 20 bucks. Not a thousand like the meta-deck. And before someone calls me out on competitive play and the "fairness" that everyone simply pays the same for them - yeah i guess you are right. So? I wouldnt mind having meta-decks cost a fortune, because in the end: every single fukker imaginable plays something he netdecks. Nothing else. He never had put in a single thought about his deckbuilding. Such players are not what fosters a healthy, toxic-free competitive environment. For me, these guys do have mental issues and try to compensate for something. So, let the meta-decks cost a million, so any other player not interested in useless ranked play could run wild with rogue-decks and simply having fun. Its a much better system rather than fostering ranked-zombies netdecking the monthly aggro-deck. Nobody would lose anything in these types of players.

Is Hearthstone pay to win? Hell no. Aggro is almost always meta and very cheap. Is Hearthstone expensive as hell? Yes, but it's still considerably cheaper than other big card games. Can you still have fun? Probably, if you craft decks for a single class or two.

Some lackeys are not random! (this comment was sponsored by the Kobald and Goblin lackey support group) yes. (if you want to actually have fun)

Not pay to win but pay to have fun. You can grind the game every day doing daily challenges to build a competitive deck but that's no fun, that's a part time job. If you pay, you have access to multiple decks and fun cards, if your free to play you can't afford fun cards.

Something like csgos skin market would be cool. Like, sure youd have to pay money in order to get a certain card, but it isnt random what you get, additionally that you get like 1/4 of the cost when you disenchant is just hilarious and selling or trading them would be awesome!

winning in hs is easy. having fun is not.

Hearthstone is getting worse and worse, its emberassing if u take the game seriously or play competetive it can be fun and creative but it is mostly a luck factor and There are not enough game modes. The design is to make u spend thousands and Still not have all the cards, what a hell hole of a design.

Why wouldn't they make whiz standard? He's useless in wild because all your opponents decks are always op. Im a whale i guess, but that would have been really good for budget players 🤦🏽‍♂️

But if a digital card market is produced, you'll see people like me just spamming accounts and trading back and forth at the same time abusing the 10pack rule to get the entire collection for free

Hearthstone is one of those weird games where you pay to lose.

Great ideas in this video! Doubt Blizzard will apply though.

You can pay with your wallet or pay with your soul. Ben Brode still has my soul.

I don’t believe it’s pay to “win” per se. if I’m honest, if I had every card in the game I probably wouldn’t get near legend because I just don’t understand how everything goes with each other or the meta. The problem I have with it is that I have one or two good decks for ladder when I know there are like another 8 or 9 decks that are way better but I don’t have the dust and I really don’t want to pay money for the chance I’ll get the cards I need.

the "problem" with card trading, you make a new account and even if it's trade legendary for legendary, you trade your cho for like zephrys and your profit 1200

“Build a deck around the first legendary you get” Yeah the first legendary I got was a golden Millhouse Manastorm.. 😑

One channel said it takes around 262 or 230 packs to complete one set.

3:20 You'r saying to a magic the gathering player. 500? Pathetic.

short answer:yes long answer: of course

Heartstone ( pay to win and have fun with 1 deck) Legends of Runeterra ( play for free to win and have fun with multiple decks ) lets be serious now. LoR hasn't even been released for 1 year and its already better than Heartstone for casual players

It’s pay to have fun and let’s be real, do you play a game to not have fun?

Honestly I'm annoyed that "pay to win" has become such a common term because it's such an easy bar to clear, all you need is a single character/deck available for free that you can theoretically win with, bam, now it's not "pay to win" technically. I liked the emphasis on "pay to have fun" because I think that cuts to the heart of why people complain about "pay to win" games: paying money is what gives you access to flexible, powerful options that are interesting, where playing for free is like a demo version where you play with weaker tools. One other term I've seen is "uneven playfield", like where you can pay money to buy a better deck/character/etc. than free players.

Yes its p2win. Every year im dusting my wild cards and i can make decks with that dust. But new expansion is coming and i dont have dust. I cant do new decks. Its impossible without MONEY.

Imo it's more like pay to play rather than pay to win.

I think HS would benefit from converting to a wildcard system like magic.

idk where you seen a "500 dollar" yugioh deck. but you can go to your local store and get a structured deck for 10 bucks and it works just as well as the next deck for the most part. hell you can go to ebay and buy 100 pack booster boxes, or 4000 random tiered cards for 50 bones. hearthstone is FAR AND ABOVE more expensive than yugioh and the worse part is. if you break for 1-3 years your decks out power creeped df out or moved into wild so you cant even play standard with your most beloved cards.

Last time I was this early you could play around your opponents cards in hearthstone

Is hearthstone pay to win? Well no, but actualy yes. When you want to play some fun decks or combo and want to get to legend you Need to have legendary cards = dust = packs = money. Yes its pay to win.

In two weeks... everything change.. hs is pay to win now

True gamers will remember when this was titled "is hearthstone pay to win"

to be honest I wish hearthstone halved the dust needed to craft

Only 500 for a Yu-Gi-Oh deck damn that's a cheap deck that's like the price for a playset of tactics talents XD.

Is hearthstone pay to win? Do fish move?

I’ve recently been wanting to try out mechathun warlock, so I started opening boomsday packs to get it and soularium, and in the meantime had crafted hemet (still need dorean). However while opening boomsday packs, I opened myra’s element, which is good in mechathun rogue, but I crafted hemet for warlock. So it’s kinda frustrating being a free to play player and getting stuck in a situation where I crafted a legendary for one deck, then end up getting a key piece for a similar deck for a different class. If I choose to go rogue now, hemet is a waste of a craft, if I choose warlock, Myra was a waste of a legendary open. I think this about sums up how it feels to want to play fun decks but get shafted by card costs because holy hell legendaries are expensive

Ima build that Reno mage when zephyr rotates from standard, only missing 7 legendary cards and 1 epic.

The Legendary token you mention is basically the "Champion Wildcard" from Legends of Runeterra. I really like that idea.

There's a reason why I just play wild. Because I can actually use the legendaries I crafted in the long run. And I just play mage because they can have a way to deal with everything... And yes, I have every legendary in the mage class :D

Why does fearsome doomguard exist? It's a class card with below average stats and no ability. I guess it's just supposed to be a big demon to cheat out...?

Im usualy gold/platinum cos i dont like playing face decks (or rank 20-15 by the old account). I like combo and control decks the most and the deck i spent most money on was shudder shaman (also my first golden hero). Now i try to golden up other heroes and atm im farming with this abomination: AAEBAf0EHosDyQPsB78IuxbDFqO2ArC8AsrBAsrDApbHAsfHAqDOApvTAtfhApbkAr7sAu+AA6aHA8mHA+eVA6CbA8KhA/yjA5KkA/WsA4i2A4y2A8O4A97EAwAA Lil bit of random but i kinda find if fun to play (even won some games vs ress priests, no idea how) Most of the cards i got from packs, i think i only crafted zefris i allways save up gold then buy 1 of each pack available at that time, unless new expansion is right around the corner, then i hoard gold for packs/adventures (i own all adventures and i never payed real money for them) In summary, i agree with statement of pay to have fun (i cant afford to buy all the cards i want to play with) but since i played the game for long enough i still have enough cards to assemble kinda fun decks for most classes (i can see new players lacking this, they are mostly stuck with demon hunter for a while till they get enough cards for other classes i guess)

And this is why I think Battlegrounds is saving Hearthstone, although its growing less and less fun.

Here's my question - Why should card packs even be a thing? Tradition? Just because this is how it's always been is not a valid reason as to why it should continue to be this way. Appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy for a reason. People have been doing stupid shit for centuries and refused to change because it's how things have always been. Packs are inherently anti-consumer. Locking meaningful gameplay behind lootboxes is HORRIBLE and no other type of game would ever be accepted if they did this. Imagine a shooter where all guns except the most basic single shot pistol are locked behind real money lootboxes, nobody would EVER be okay with that. Imagine a Hearthstone where you could directly pay for any card you want and NEVER again have to open a pack. Or a Hearthstone where you can just blanket buy ALL cards for 60$ for the entire expansion. We know exactly why Blizz wants to keeps things as is, and it's because they can extract WAY more than 60$ from its players. But SHOULD they be able to do that? Should ANY game cost more than 60$ to play? (or 70$ I guess, some games raised the price with the new generation)

HS is not Pay to Win. It's Pay to Have Fun. It's possible to win with cheap decks (Especially things like Face Hunter and Zoolock which have always been pretty solid and consist of just Rares/Commons) But having fun with a variety of decks, especially ones centred around legendaries with cool effects requires a significant investment (Either cash money, or time) The most effective way to alleviate this, would be to take a page out of MTG:A's book and where you have those "Suggested Decks" when you go to make a new deck... Just give players the cards to make them (In a non-disenchantable/craftable variant). That way, people can play a number of decks out of the gate and can put their dust towards optimizing the deck(s) they like, or playing around with meme cards for fun.

I spent ~hours 340ish € for hearthstone since old gods. Now I have around 16 complete wild decks (with very expensive stuff too, reno mage, big shamen, cube lock, qm, paladin, etc. etc.) Tl;dr: I played a lot quests and weakly brawls aswell... Tl;tl;dr: Don't craft golden cards, except Hof rotations!

I wish there were non-collectible card games where you just unlocked cosmetics. Different heroes, voicelines, card backs, 'goldens', coins, hell add a whole new system with stickers and sprays and sell me those in lootcrates instead! Not having access to the same tools, being unable to go "Hey my opponent did a fun thing, I want to try fun thing!" or effectively theorycraft with "Okay but what if I.. put this, this and THIS card together?" is just so very un-fun. I'm not here to collect cards, I'm here to PLAY cards. That said, your proposed free-rotation decks sounds fun, even if you couldn't modify them with your collection it'd be "Hey there's token druid this week, I'll play that!"

While I agree with you on the spirit of the video, you have some points in that video really wrong: 1. Comparing cards to different games is super wrong. Sometimes I buy different games. Like I played RDR2 for few hundred hours. But I opened my golden Piloted Shredder and in no way I can count how many hours I enjoyed playing with him. Even triple A projects like Cyberpunk are not designed to last that long as Hearthstone plans to. 2. All your ideas about making Hearthstone cheaper in different ways are quite interesting, but they have one thing in common - company will earn less money. So they are not realistic. They are moving price of Hearthstone down really slowly (like duplicates protection), but in no way they gonna chop themselves a hand.

as an example the system of MTGA is way cheaper. You can spend 50$ on expansion + BP to have 90% of the pool after a month and a half. 80% of "epic" and "legendary" cards are good. A bad epic/legendary is a miss, never an intent. Getting almost every card by the next expansion. still the game is too expansive and the gameplay is shit (mostly bc some "epics" and "legendaries" are too good), although far better than the random f-fest that is HS.

I'm Free 2 Play, I have 12k Gold, and 27k dust. I have most standard cards (all that matter), have reached Legend, and it only took 2 years of doing daily quests to get there... Also, I'm decent in Arena which is where I invested a lot of my early play time to grind out card packs. I don't play Arena so much now, but daily quests have gotten better since I started Hearthstone, and you can maintain F2P pretty easily now. You just have to play Standard...

By just completing daily quest and gold for 3 wins j have 7000-8500 whenever new expansions got realeased. That give me all commons and rares , 50% of epics and 3-5 legendaries. J just buld a deck around legendaries j got and maybe craft 2 more legendaries and most important epics.

I stopped playing hearthstone some time ago...but I was able to aquire about 85 legendaries from packs/crafting etc. as a f2p player (mainly wild player) but I really grinded veeery hard for a loong time to do so and I have to say i agree.HS is expensive for maaany reasons and one of the things few ppl talk about is that if you "buy" a card and some time later its "soft-banned from the STANDARD version and you cant play it any more tharefore you actually buy a craft when in reality you "rent" it for about a year and then its useless if you dont play wild...Bottom line if you want to have a bit more fun/varity inyour games I suggest wild mode its soooo much better

Just getting the big bundle and most of the bundles with hero portraits or wild bundles. I have been saving dust for a long time just playing with what I had and in the last months I have began to blow it up. Got 6 full golden decks(otk murloc, murloc paladin, kingsbane, reno priest, murloc highlander shaman, quick spell mage) and another 3 I was goign to finish golden (dmh, renolock, agro druid) before there was the xpansion announcement. And still have an extra 50k dust At the end of the day is about resources management and not wasting on standard deck that are only good for a few months.

I just begin playing the game like around 2 month now and I think I spent like 5$ just for fun at the beginning but I really love the game and I have a soul demon hunter deck already and iam at gold 1 right now in the new season and I got the no minons mage deck and budget deck rough or something like that lol so for me it's not that expensive but I 100%agree its paid to have fun snice ofcourse sometimes you want to play a different deck and yeah maybe further in the future it will be more expensive for me if I [want to have more fun i guss ]and take it from me I have been playing ( lords mobile) for the past 3.5y and just quit before playing heartstone and BELIEVE ME LM is why the word ( paid to play ) got created :)

I been playing Hearthstone since its first expansion, and I never spend any money on it. I have two accounts, the first one is in China, and I can only play it in mainland China. And the other is in the North America. I will say different areas, your opponents style and decks are different too. And I think it can still be FUN WITHOUT spent any MONEY on Hearthstone. Plus, I feel like now all the epic and legendary cards became more common to get from packs now.

I haven't spend a penny on the game and recently found that I have at least a playable wild deck for every class except for druid, but I gotta say that my account was created when the open beta started (I had a huge time not playing since TGT and only started playing seriously on RoS), and only now I am able to say that. Also, it means that I mustn't fail almost any quest to mantain that. I think HS isn't very friendly to p2w, but it's possible to play, wild format it's better for that matter. About the ideas suggested in the video, the first is terrible (look at paper tcg's market, that's awful), but the second one I liked. Those simple things could help a lot to the game to be less cash grabbing, but that's the opposite to the blizzard policies, so...

Also od you come from not euro oriented country the exchange is insane 80$ is like times 4 sometimes 4,5 (it despends) soo for me preorder expansion costs like 320-360 PLN. And it is common for people to make 2700 PLN a month so, yea. Hs is expensive

Here in lies one of the biggest fallacies of digital card games. Let's say I'm a Magic player. I go and buy six boxes of the latest expansion. I bust open 216 packs with 15 cards per pack. All this cost was roughly 600 dollars. I know that the people I play with trade and sell the cards to make certain decks. I can also sell and trade for older cards in Legacy formats that are worth way more money. This constant trading and selling you will start to actually get your money back in profit. Also for winning your local Friday night Magic you net more packs, earning more cards, and making more money in the process. The better you get at deck building with lower powered, hence less expensive cards, let's you gain back your money invested in no time at all. Before I stopped playing Magic I was and still am a high ranked player. I have won regional tournaments and played the best players in my state. I would usually invest my time into making mono colored decks with highly tested side boards for beating all the top meta decks. This made my deck building easier, little to no investment in multi-colored cards and lands that produce multiple colors. This also allowed me to trade and sell more of my cards as I had little to no use for most of the cards I procured, either through my winning or just from buying those initial boxes of a new expansion/set. I have long since quit playing Magic, sold all of my cards and have invested in gold, stocks, and real estate. My point is, at least with all the time and money I invested into playing a physical card game I was able to cash out, while never losing any money in the long run. With Hearthstone none of what I said is possible. All the time and money invested leads to no payout at all. Unless you are a Champion player that actually gets invited to a tournament. Even so, you aren't able to cash out. You have to rely solely on your winnings. And winning consistently in a very random game is nearly impossible. I don't care how great of a deck builder you are, in Hearthstone RNG is god.
