I'm curious if/how people think this will effect the elements player base?

No linux client, otherwise, it's good game.

Wrong subforum.

How do I move it?  Where does it go?

An admin will move it to the Off-Topic section.

Btw you are talking about Heartstone, right? I got a key some time ago, I didn't like it much. The card pool is very restricted, you WANT to use cards of different heroes and you can't. Also, only 2 cards in a fixed sized deck doesn't let you build a solid strategy. The max amount of monsters you can have is too low... everything is bad. Oh, the servers are good, you can see EVERYTHING your opponent does with no lag or issues.

Interesting.  Thanks for your insight.

I've been playing it for a couple weeks. I enjoy it immensely.

I really love the strategy and decision making aspect of it. Unlike card games like Elements where deckbuilding and prediction skill is arguably more important in PvP, Hearthstone emphasizes your decision making ability (of course deckbuilding is still important, but not as much). Arena is definitely the best part about the game. I think once there are more cards released, the game will get much bigger as the card pool is limited right now.

Funniest game so far. Up against a Priest with Pala in Arena. Draw Molten Giant with Holy Wrath for 19 damage on his Lord of the Arena. Attack with everything to take him down to 17 HP and play Eye for an Eye. He attacks next turn with his 15/7 Gurubashi Berserker, then concedes xD

I mainly play Mage, but Pala is turning out to be better when you don't have many rares at all.

Play it.
Love it.

Alright, I might have a contender for funniest game yet. Playing Priest against a Shaman, combo Silverback Patriarch with Power Word: Shield and 2 Divine Spirit (24 HP). Next turn, I draw another Power Word: Shield and play it, then Inner Fire. 26/26 with Taunt hits him, then I Mind Blast for the 5 turn win. Draw luck is so much in this game x)

I really should start taking screenshots of these hilarious games.

I kind of not like the 2-card restriction, it's just meh? It's really popular in school, but for me it was only fun for the first couple of days. Then it got boring so I gave my account to someone else.
