Hearthstone

Hey! I've played like 100s of hours of hearthstone. I originally started playing hearthstone in March of 2015. Well that's my first card back :P damn is it a good one. Ragnaros

Battlegrounds

What the fuck ugly is battlegrounds you ask.
Well Battlegrounds was introduced like 2 years ago and is blizzard's attempt at an auto chess game mode for hearthstone. For those unfamiliar with the term auto-chess is a type of game where typically several people construct a board with heroes or in this case cards which at the end of the round face off against each other dealing damage until only one player is left standing the winner. In hearthstone the game classes the top 4 of any 8 player match winners but let's be honest.
THERE'S ONLY REALLY ONE WINNER
In hearthstone the game works by giving you an increasing amount of gold starting from 3 and capping at 10 to purchase cards and upgrades tier. Higher tier minions will typically be better than lower tier minions and have interesting effects which can be discussed further later or looked at in my tier list. So you start with 3 gold and each card will cost 3 gold to buy. So you buy and play the card. At the end of a time limit which denotes each turn it switches to battle phase, during this period you have no control and must watch your minion suicide into the enemies minions and their into yours. This process repeats until either one side wins or there is a draw. If a draw occurs go back into buying with one more gold and continue. In the case of a victory however, the winner will add all the card's tiers to their current tier and damage the opponent for this much. Starting at 40 health, reaching 0 or below knocks you out meaning you lost :pensive:.

So you're asking why should I listen to you. Answer you shouldn't other than the fact I can write an obscene amount of drivel about a meaningless topic that will be quickly forgotten and sent to the back of your mind. However, below are my stats as of 18/01/2021 in battlegrounds. At this rate I come first every 2 hours ish. Considering matches typically take 20-30 minutes to play this means I have like a 1/4 first rate ish.

Battleground Victories

Below are some examples of 1st place boards and why they were so good. However currently these boards may in fact not be that good due to the introduction of taunt synergy minions and the spells which have ROCKED battlegrounds a lot!

Battlegrounds Victory

YSERA IS a difficult hero to play. It requires a lot of... jk. Ysera literally just goes dragon. Ignore anything non dragon try and find triples into 6. Pretty simple tbh. Hope for a good tier 6 from golden aka Kalegos is OK same with nadina.

Battlegrounds Victory

Well this board is rather Unorthodox. It mainly revolves around Majordomo buffing the important minions :P seemingly it was grim early game I had no idea what to spec for so took majordomo. That along with the bananas from JoeS I was able to create a huge Nat pagle who then further aquired me a cave hydra which buffs MARVELOUSLY. 2/4 at tier 4 must have a huge effect and that cave Hydra does of cleave. Cleave+stats is god like and this carried me to victory!

Tess Greymane Victory

Joe went to get water so me and Joe thought it'd be funny to que without him. However he didn't and left :( to proove a point I say you can still win and procedded to tier to 6 ignoring buying. This GENIUS idea left me at 4 health but I managed (being the first there). These tier 6 amalgondons allowed me to easily find the other tier 6s Harvest golems which then I buffed with Lightfang because menagerie is a good comp at tier 6 :p

Cat Victory

Cat is always a very SWINGY hero either you lose before even using your hero power or it dictates how you play. Suprisingly (considering this is a win unsuprisingly) I actually swung high. I first had a beast board which had 0 similarities. Found a golden which I chose a Kalecgos from due to it being a strong tier 6. Immediately afterwards I killed someone and took another golden minion! This of corse led to another Kalecgos which I then IMMEDIATLY pivoted into dragons with! Two Kalecgos lead to an easy victory tbh :P

Hey tho if you ever want to play... you know. Hit me up? :pleading_face:

idk lol>
