That started to happen before GVG came out for me. For the month of November I only played to keep up on quests. I'm not quite done with GVG yet, though I'm starting to become frustrated with some of the decks on ladder.

Between Constructed and Arena, Hearthstone can never get old. Switch to the other once you get burned out on one format.

Yeah, Arena keeps me going.

The problem is that GvG made pretty much everything that frustrated people even worse. Instead of dealing with imbalance and the domination of aggro on the ladder, they made Hunter and Zoo even better. If you were starting to get burnt out prior to GvG coming out, GvG did nothing to help that. Arena is a little better, but as someone who averages about 5 wins, I can't play it infinitely, and even that gets pretty stale after a while, since people tend to draft the same kinds of cards. Arena is only fun for me when I draft an exceptional deck. For the last couple days I've been playing a Mage Mill deck, and even though it's not very good (and I'm terrible with it), it's the most fun I've had for a while.

I'm really liking Mill Mage at the moment! It's just so different from everything else in the meta.

Do you have a deck list for that? I'd love to try it out. Mech Mage is okay but I seem to have bad luck with the random summons, lol, so trying out something else would be fun.

Congrats man! I had wondered where that card back came from, lol.

I'm running the same deck Westy is and I've broken my record at rank 5 right now. Hopefully with two weeks to go I can be persistent enough to break through and reach it.

Out of curiosity, which hero is the deck with?

oh...and congrats Westy!

This is the deck I reached Legend with. It's a variant on JAB's deck, switching his Clockwork Gnomes for Leper Gnomes and a Eaglehorn Bow for a Glaivezooka. Leper Gnome often gives you that last little bit of damage that Hunters sometimes need, and Glaivezooka is excellent for surprise factor, particularly in the mirror. Drop a Leper Gnome T1, use it to clear a 2/3 Undertaker T2, or just coin it to clear the undertaker, etc. The deck has a fairly good Paladin matchup, 50/50 Druid matchup, poor Warrior and Druid matchups. I also don't like Shaman because unlike Druid and Paladin, Shaman can take Dr. Boom and Highmanes very easily, while still being able to counter Undertaker. The deck is primarily face, but can also midrange very well.

If I don't have Dr. Boom but have the rest of that deck is there something I can sub in to make it still work well or does that just kill it?

I don't have the other useful legendaries like Sylvanas, Ragnaros, or Black Knight either.

You could try a second Ironbeak Owl. It fulfills an entirely different roll, but could be a game saver. Better than black knight because it's cheap, still gets around a taunt, and is a beast.

I'd sooner add a Sea Giant I think. Fulfills a similar role, and you might even get it out sooner in some cases. I don't think it's as good as Dr. Boom, but it works.

browarod · « **Reply #622 on:** January 20, 2015, 04:40:35 PM »

I don't remember if I have a Sea Giant or not. If I do I'll start with him and see how that goes, otherwise I'll add the Owl. Thanks for the suggestions!

Master KChief · « **Reply #623 on:** January 20, 2015, 05:17:16 PM »

I'm always back and forth with the 2nd owl. If the curve was a bit lower as opposed to being more midrange the 2nd owl would be a for sure auto include. And there are so many times I wish I had the 2nd owl to push through that last little damage through taunts.

As for a substitute for Boom, that's very hard if not impossible to do, he's just too unique and good. Sea Giant is questionable without Snake Trap, but that might be an avenue worth exploring because it also has synergy with Knife Juggler. Boom however would be one of the best Legendaries to craft right now if you have the dust, he fits in most if not all top tier decks right now.

browarod · « **Reply #624 on:** January 20, 2015, 09:52:11 PM »

Yeah, I'm trying to work up dust again but I don't have much, certainly nowhere near the 1600 needed, haha. I'll put Boom at the top of my "to craft" list.
