Starting to play more classes in Arena to mix things up. I have a priest who's 7-2 right now that is a ton of fun to play. Got my first 30-0 one turn win with it by playing power word shield then two divine spirits onto a lightspawn to attack for 28 then attacked with another minion.

Nice!

Now I'm not doing arenas anymore, rather playing shaman-only and climbin the ranks I'l rank 11, and I feel I'm constantly improving. The strategy can go far deeper than what you think, memories and amoffett

That's great Magic! Sounds like Trump's current climb to Legend .

I stopped playing ranked after I finally put together a decent deck (hunter aggro) and won a ton of ranked games which increased my hidden rating that matches me to other people in casual. Since then I can't win with warrior or rogue in casual and it's hard with druid(took me about 8 games to get two druid victories last night to finish two quests), I just don't have the cards to make decks on par with my other heroes so it really hurts my ability to do certain dailies.

Until I can build a few more good decks, I'm staying away from ranked!

You are absolutely right, you must do arena-only, and then, when you have the cards, go to ladder.

Here is the deck I'm using, if you're interested I at first used a version found on a website, but I found out the deck could be improved, so here is my personal version I'm doing a 6 wins streak right now, and it's the most fun deck I ever played ^.^

I'm not dismissing the game, or trying to say it's easy or anything like that.

But in Hearthstone there's just under 400 different cards, to be used in 9 different classes. There's only so many decks you can build. When you get better cards, you replace the bad cards with the better cards. When you're playing a game, you have a good idea what cards your opponent has, what you can expect to draw.

Compare that with MTG, where there are over 10000 cards, and seemingly limitless strategies, and it's not even close. There's also so much more going on in a game of MTG, turn-by-turn.

This is my problem with Hearthstone: it's not MTG. That's what I'm used to, and so playing something that's close, but is essentially watered down and simplified to make it easier for people to pick up, just makes me want to play MTG instead.

Put a shaman deck together, lots of same cards you're running and boy is it fun! Leroy (+ rockbiter) + windfury is some crazy burst.
