I guess I ask why you're doing it. If it's out of frustration, then I would say no, and use gold from dailies to buy cards. If it's because you wanna support what they're doing, then I say go for it. It's all about the purpose behind it. :)

Some people also just like opening packs. I've seen people with full collections still break 40 packs just for Goldens and dust. And if this is a game you see yourself playing for a bit, there is nothing wrong with buying some packs. It's just like any other CCG with the added bonus of rewarding F2P players with patience.

Chris, if you end up doing it, stream it on Twitch. 40 pack openings are fun to watch.

I'll also watch that stream. I love watching people open packs.

I watched a bit of the EU Hearthstone tournament today, and mid-range Hunter is proving to be pretty strong still. Also, Miracle Rogue that runs the 1/4 spiders that increase Battlecry costs is incredible with it.

I might still pick up 40 packs next week (and if I do I'll set up a stream and give some notice), but I got a Legendary out of a pack today, which finally gave me enough dust to craft Alex for my Frost Mage, so the incentive has gone down quite a bit.

LOL. Oh yeah, you know, just a casual FOUR FIRE ELEMENTALS.

That's why I love Shaman in arena. That 6 drop is incredible.

August tournament setup is in the works. I'm working on figuring out a deck-building theme for this one so stay tuned for that announcement!

Also, I'm hoping to have some time on lunch today to try out the new Nax wing. :D

Just a confirmation for Heigan's Hero Power, it targets the leftmost from YOUR perspective, not his. So the minion on the far left of your board will be hit for 2. Plan minion placement accordingly. :P

Also a random note, Loatheb has 75 health on NORMAL. I don't even want to know how much he has on Heroic. >_<

99.

While Alexstraza could be nice, he provides you with a way to beat him. Read his cards and plan carefully.

Don't use Alexstraza on heroic loatheb.

So, I tried running a gimmicky priest deck with Stoneskin Gargoyle and discovered an even better use for him.

Rampage is a fantastic card to play on him. Gargoyle works with so many of the Warrior buffs.

Dropping this here to show how crazy the hunter challenge with Loatheb can get, and really any match with Loatheb. 3 spores later, this is my lineup:

I'm waiting until all the wings are released before I drop some cash on Naxx.

Opened an Alexstraza just in time for the August tournament.

My collection is coming along very nicely.  When I first started, I thought I was going to end up having to drop money on the game, but after a few months of playing, I can play a couple top tier decks, and I pretty much have all the commons and most rares.  Legendaries take a bit more work, but thankfully there's crafting for that.  Right now I have 6 Legendaries (barring Naxx Legendaries).  Malygos isn't very good, but I've found a place for everybody else.  Just another reason to love Hearthstone. 

And the crazy thing is, I am going to end up dropping money on it anyway, due to Naxx (and I also tend to purchase an Arena run after going 0-3).

I'm going to end up having to spend money on at least 1 or 2 of the Nax wings I think, possibly the remaining 3. And I really should buy some packs because I'm running out of things to DE to make cards I want/need, but I just don't have a lot of fluid funds right now, plus I'm trying to save up for upgrading to a PS4. >_< #firstworldproblems

Scored a Turn 4 kill against Heroic Instructor Razuvious. Good stuff.

The second opponent in heroic mode (the Unclean guy) continues to be my bane.  I can beat the 1st and 3rd easily.  The second guy always leaves me scratching my head.

I still can't beat Noth or Heigan on heroic. >_<

I also am trying to farm up gold for wing 3 so I don't have to pay money so it'll be a bit before I actually get it. Unless I give up and just buy it (and save up for Wing 4 or 5). >_>

EDIT: So I just broke down and bought the package for the remaining 3 wings. I guess I'll use my gold for arena instead, lol.

I beat Heroic Heigan on my first try with frost mage (my first Heroic kill because I really don't care about it). Loatheb is giving me difficulty though.  I'm using Hunter, but he's so aggressive...

For this wing of heroics, I have one word, one little hint...

Priests.

That is all.

That seems to be the magic word for most of the wings, lol, which bugs me a bit. I wish they had balanced them better so people could reliably win with any class rather than just 1 or 2.
