Here at <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cold's Gold Factory</a>, I've already given a lot of tips on <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to-earn-gold-in-heroes-of-storm.html" target="_blank">how to earn quicker gold in Heroes of the Storm</a>, Blizzard's newly launched MOBA. I've also covered the <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2015/01/earn-more-gold-daily-quests-Heroes-of-the-storm.html" target="_blank">quest holding strategy to maximize gold earned from HotS daily quests</a>. Today we will talk about a simple, and often overlooked, way of earning a quick and easy 1000 gold for free in Heroes of the Storm.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Get 1000 Gold From The Tutorial In Heroes of the Storm</h3>
Since the Technical Alpha period was so long for testing Heroes of the Storm, many of us had already completed the tutorial at least once and maybe even a second time through, to try out the changes that came along with the different patches within the Technical Alpha and Closed Beta phases of testing.<br />
<br />
One thing that has been recently overlooked by the older players that have been in Heroes of the Storm for a while is that since the game has officially launched <b>Blizzard has added gold rewards to each of the tutorials in Heroes of the Storm! </b> Hell it took me a good 3+ weeks to even figure this out myself, since I have no reason to go back and ever do the tutorial after the number of real games I've already been playing. Well, there definitely was a reason for me to go back and repeat the tutorials one last time: <b>To Earn My Free 1000 HotS Gold!</b><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
How To Replay The Tutorial In Heroes of the Storm</h4>
<div>
With all of the changes to the UI displays in the game and can get a little confusing to find the tutorial as an established player. The easiest way to get back to the tutorials is to hit the F10 (Function 10) button on your keyboard. There you can select the tutorials option, which will lead you to the screen show in the header image of this post.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see there are actually 3 separate tutorials (out of the 4) that will all award a small chunk of gold for you to use buying heroes and master skins within the game. </div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Introduction</b> - 250 Gold Reward For Completion</li>
<li><b>Basic</b> - 250 Gold Reward For Completion</li>
<li><b>Advanced </b>- 500 Gold Reward For Completion</li>
<li><b>Training</b> - No Gold Rewards</li>
</ol>
</div>
<b><i>Pro Tip:</i></b> To make the tutorial games go a lot faster, just stack your hero onto another lane that already has a pair of AI players on your team. The AI is pretty bad in Heroes of the Storm and the tutorial AI is an absolute joke, so stacking your team together and just pushing one lane hard will get you a quicker win and earn those free gold rewards that much faster.<br />
<br />
<br />
So even if you are a veteran player, don't forget to go back and re-complete the training tutorials to <b>earn your free 1000 gold in Heroes of the Storm</b>. New players should automatically be seeing the tutorials and gold rewards as part of your introduction to the game, but it is easily overlooked by those of us that have been playing for weeks or months already. In order to earn the gold the gold amount must be shown just like in the image. If there is no gold listed, then that means you have already completed that tutorial and already earned the free gold.<br />

<b>Heroes of The Storm Daily Quest Gold Strategy</b></h2>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Gold Gain in Heroes of the Storm</h3>
The amount of time you will spend grinding for gold earnings to unlock heroes in Heroes of the Storm will be insane if you plan to spend no money on unlocking heroes. As I discussed in my previous post on <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to-earn-gold-in-heroes-of-storm.html" target="_blank">Grinding For Gold In Heroes of the Storm</a>, there is a nice chunk of easily obtainable gold that is earned from both leveling up your account and leveling each hero to level 5. However, once those 1 time gold gains are exhausted, you are left with only per match gold rewards and daily quest completion as your two primary source of gold income in HotS.<br />
<br />
There is a strategy that you can incorporate into your play time to give yourself a slight advantage in the amount of gold available to be earned from completing the daily quests on Heroes of the Storm. With the Heroes of the Storm closed beta starting soon (Tuesday January 13th, 2015), it is important to keep this daily quest holding strategy in mind to maximize your ability to earn gold in game.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at the Daily Quest Gold Strategy and how it works.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Heroes of the Storm Daily Quest Gold Rewards</h3>
There are currently only 9 different options for the daily quests. These daily quests can be held in queue with up to 3 different daily quests at a time. Currently daily quests do not give the option to re-roll any of the daily quests, which are assigned randomly at a rate of 1 per day.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
The 9 HotS Daily Quests and Their Gold Rewards</h4>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Play 8 Games in Any Mode - 800 gold</li>
<li>Win 3 Games in Any Mode - 600 gold</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Play 3 Games as an Assassin Hero - 300 gold</li>
<li>Play 3 Games as an Warrior Hero - 300 gold</li>
<li>Play 3 Games as an Support Hero - 300 gold</li>
<li>Play 3 Games as an Specialist Hero - 300 gold</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Play 2 Games As a Warcraft Hero - 200 gold</li>
<li>Play 2 Games As a Diablo Hero - 200 gold</li>
<li>Play 2 Games As a Starcraft Hero - 200 gold</li>
</ul>
<br />
So the daily quests in Heroes of the Storm reward anywhere from 200 gold to 800 gold for completion, which is a large variance in total rewarded gold for a single daily quest completion.<br />
<br />
Most players will play the game and either complete their individual dailies each day as they are awarded, or they will save a few and knock out a couple at a time. However,there is a way to increase your odds of being randomly assigned the higher gold reward quests.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/SkNISUZKRkpDR0lOSkpPQ0dIR0dHRw" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Heroes of the Storm Clothing Store" border="0" src="http://www.gopjn.com/b/SkNISUZKRkpDR0lOSkpPQ0dIR0dHRw" title="Heroes of the Store Gold Making" /></a></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Keeping Quests In Your Hold Bin To Increase Gold Earned</h3>
To give yourself a better shot at getting randomly assigned the 600 gold or 800 gold quests, you shouldn't just complete a quest a day. You should actually let all 3 of your quests accumulate and only complete 1 a day, while leaving 2 low paying quests in your hold bin. Ideally, you would want to keep 2 of the 200 gold reward daily quests in your hold queue so that your odds of getting the higher gold quests assigned is improved.<br />
<br />
This daily quest holding strategy does work and it will increase your average gold earned over time. The longer you are able to maintain a 2 quests hold bin the better your chance of getting better gold rewarding quests and thus the increase in gold earned over time from daily quests.<br />
<br />
If you never keep a daily quest held and always complete your single daily quests every day, then your odds of getting the 800 gold reward are 1 in 9. If you hold any two other quests, your odds increase to 1 in 7 of being awarded the 800 gold quest. This works because there are no duplicate daily quest assignments.<br />
<br />
So the ideal option is to hold 2 of the 200 gold quests, but that means you would be only playing heroes from the 3rd expansion (the one of the 3 that you are not keeping held). Obviously, you won't be able to hold 2 200 gold quests forever, because you need to level all heroes to level 5 for optimal gold gain and sometimes you will be forced to finish those quests due to the selection available in the random hero rotation. Even though you can't maintain this strategy forever, the days that you can use it will help to increase your overall gold gain in Heroes of the Storm and should help to slightly decrease the time it takes to unlock your favorites heroes for free.<br />
<br />
Another way to look at the numbers are with average possible gold gained per potential daily quest.<br />
<br />
If we leave all daily quests slots open, then the average of the assignable quests (9 of them) is 355.55 gold. If you bank 2 200 gold quests, then your gold potential raises to 400 gold on average for your 3rd quest (7 possible now). An easier to maintain option would be banking a 200 gold reward quest and a 300 gold reward quest. This strategy would make your average assignable gold reward to be 385.71 per quest. This is most easily accomplished by hold the 300 gold quest for playing Support Heroes along with the 200 gold reward quest for play a Diablo Hero because there are no Diablo Support Heroes in the game yet!<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
In Closing</h4>
<br />
Blizzard has given us enough free and easily earned gold to get us a few of the major heroes in Heroes of the Storm, but we will need to grind out a lot of gold earnings in order to completely play for free and unlock enough heroes to play in ranked and draft modes (10 owned heroes are required, not including free rotation heroes). The easily earned gold is heavily front loaded and the grind will be long and hard to unlock heroes once you have exhausted all of your easily earned gold sources. Then you are left with only game rewards and daily quests as your primary sources of gold income in Heroes of the Storm.<br />
<br />
We can use the Daily Quest Hold Strategy in order to increase the potential amount of gold earnable each day through daily quests, as well as allowing us more chances to be assigned the 600 and 800 gold reward quests each day. The grind for free character unlocks is outrageously long (think 160+ hours or 400 versus matches on average (with 50% win rate) so any bonus to gold earned is going to be very rewarding in the long run.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this post and that it helped to enlighten you on some of the ways to help increase your odds of getting better daily quests assigned and ways to <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to-earn-gold-in-heroes-of-storm.html" target="_blank">increase your gold gains in Blizzard's new MOBA, Heroes of the Storm</a>.

<br />
<br />
Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard's newest game currently in the Technical Alpha Stage. This MOBA style game is free to play, but there are additional skins, heroes, and mounts that are able to be purchased with cash or gold in the store's in game shop. Just like you can <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/09/Hearthstone-Beta-Gold-Grinding.html" target="_blank">earn gold in Blizzard's game Hearthstone</a>, you also can earn gold in Heroes of the Storm. Grinding for gold within Heroes of the Storm will allow you to unlock mounts, skins, and heroes without spending any cash. Sure you can eventually unlock many items without spending any real life cash in the game's store, but that would take you quite some time to grind out that much gold.<br />
<br />
The items in the cash shop are not cheap; some heroes cost 10k gold for a single hero alone without any new skins. That's just the price for the single hero, so it is going to take a lot of grinding for gold to unlock everything you can obtain in Heroes of the Storm without paying. And by then, there will be even more heroes, mounts, and skins to keep grinding out gold to unlock these new additions. Be Warned - Some items are only available for cash and cannot be purchased for gold.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at all the ways you can earn free gold in Heroes of the Storm as well as some tips for efficient gold grinding to make unlocking the heroes for free much easier. These numbers are tips are based off of the current build for the Heroes of the Storm Tech Alpha. Blizzard has stated their will be no more wipes of accounts, so these numbers should be pretty close to the final launch build.<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>The Ways You Can Earn Free Gold In Heroes Of The Storm:</b></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Player Level Rewards - Once per account at each gold award interval.</li>
<li>Hero Level Rewards - Once per each individual character.</li>
<li>Daily Quests - Repeatable quests that unlock one per day.</li>
<li>Game Rewards - Playing matches earns gold.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Earning Gold With Player Level Rewards</h3>
As a player you have an overall player level. As your player level increases from playing matches, you unlock various player level rewards at certain levels. Included in these rewards are nice chunks of gold, in addition to unlocking more free characters slots. <br />
<br />
<b>Here are the current Player Level Rewards:</b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Level 2 - 1000 Gold</li>
<li>Level 4 - 1000 Gold</li>
<li>Level 6 - Unlock Daily Quests (Each Rewards Gold)</li>
<li>Level 8 - 2000 Gold</li>
<li>Level 10 - 2000 Gold</li>
<li>Level 12 - Extra Free Hero Rotation Slot</li>
<li>Level 15 - Extra Free Hero Rotation Slot</li>
</ul>
<br />
So in addition to unlocking the daily quests, which will award more gold, you can earn a free 6000 gold just by leveling up your player level simply by playing the game.<br />
<br />
<br />

Each hero in Heroes of the Storm has his own level, that raises as you play that hero more. You earn experience from each match that you use that hero. As you level the hero up, you unlock more talent choices, skin and mount options, and a character portrait. What we are most interested in is that for each hero, you are awarded 500 gold once that hero reaches level 5. So you can unlock a free 500 gold for every hero added into the game just by playing each hero to level 5. At Blizzcon 2014, they've already announced 4 more new heroes that will be added to the game, so that is another free 2k gold you can earn from playing the new heroes to level 5 as well.<br />
<br />
Currently there are 32 different heroes in Heroes of the Storm (including the recent Jaina addition), which means you can earn a free 16,000 gold just by leveling all heroes to level 5. Thrall is going to be available on the launch of the closed beta, which adds hero #32 and another chance for a free 500 gold. The new heroes tend to take 5-6 weeks before showing up in the free heroes rotation slot options.<br />

Making Gold From Daily Quests</h3>
<br />
Daily quests in Heroes of the Storm are unlocked once you reach Player Level 6. You will receive a random daily quest each day and these daily quests can award anywhere from 200 to 800 gold each. You only can hold 3 uncompleted daily quests at a time, but let me tell you these daily quests are stupid easy! <br />
<br />
Only one of the quests require you to win anything, for most of the Hots daily quests you only have to play! For example, one quest is "Play 2 games with a Warcraft Hero." It's not Win 2 games, but just Play 2 games. Some require you to use a specific type of character, like "Play 3 games with a Specialist Hero", or "Play 3 games with a Warrior Hero." You also don't have to log in each day to collect the daily quests. As long as you have room in your 3 quest hold bin, you will still get the daily quest added to your queue. This daily quest system is one of the easiest I've ever seen in any Blizzard game.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Playing Matches Awards Gold</h3>
You can also earn gold in Heroes of the Storm just from completing matches. Currently you receive gold from completing a match in Cooperative or Versus modes. In Cooperative Mode you get 10 gold for a Win, none for a loss. In Versus Mode you earn 20 gold if you lose. If you Win in Versus Mode you get a 10 gold bonus, which makes the total 30 gold per Versus match won. So playing Versus other players will always be the best option when you are grinding for gold in Heroes of the Storm.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Co-Op Loss - 0 Gold</li>
<li>Co-Op Win - 10 Gold</li>
<li>Versus Loss - 20 Gold</li>
<li>Versus Win - 30 Gold</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Tips For Unlocking Free Gold In Heroes of the Storm</h3>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Focus On Getting to Player Level 6 To Unlock Daily Quests.</b></li>
<li><b>Complete Daily Quests. </b>Or at least never let your daily log get filled where you are missing out on potential gold from quests that you have no room for.</li>
<li><a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2015/01/earn-more-gold-daily-quests-Heroes-of-the-storm.html" target="_blank">Follow the Daily Quest Hold Bin Strategy</a> for increased gold gains from the daily quests.</li>
<li><b>Play Each Free Hero Just To Level 5,</b> Then Switch To Another Free Hero.</li>
<li><b>Mix Up The Hero Types That You Play.</b> If you just played a melee warrior to level 5, don't do another melee warrior next. If you leveled a Warcraft hero to 5, don't choose another Warcraft hero next. This is because you want to minimize the chances of having to play a character for the daily quests that you've already leveled to 5. If you knock out all of your warriors first, then you don't have a fresh warrior to level to 5 while doing the daily quest for that warrior.</li>
<li><b>Advance Your Player Level So You Get All Free Rotation Slots Unlocked.</b> More heroes to choose from means more heroes to push to level 5 for free 500 gold each week and helps provide more options for daily quest choices to help minimize leveling characters you've already pushed to level 5.</li>
<li><b>Play Versus Mode. </b>There is no reason to play Cooperative mode. Versus awards a lot more experience and much more gold per match.</li>
<li><b>Always Invite A Party Member To Be Your Friend. </b>Having a friend in your group earns you +50% bonus experience.</li>

<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">My Must See List Of Halloween Movies</span></h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week for 5 Fandom Fridays we are picking our <b>Top 5 Must Watch Halloween Movies</b>. I've hand selected a list of Halloween appropriate movies for the Halloween season. Included in this list we have some favorite horror movies that are just perfect for Halloween movie watching. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>My Top 5 Halloween Horror Movies</b> in no particular order are:</h3>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Trick Or Treat</li>
<li>Something Wicked This Way Comes</li>
<li>The Thing</li>
<li>Saw - The Complete Series</li>
<li>House of 1000 Corpses</li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Trick 'r Treat is my absolute favorite Halloween movie ever created. Sam (pictured on the DVD cover) is one of my favorite characters from a fantasy or horror movie. In Trick 'r Treat you see Sam all throughout the movie, but don't find out how awesome he is until the very end of the film. He is so awesome they even made a <a href="http://amzn.to/1FIQO8b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sam Funko POP! Figure</a>. I enjoy the directing style of Trick 'r Treat because there are 4 separate story lines that all link together in the end. It really is both my first watch and a must watch movie for the Halloween season.</div>

<a href="http://amzn.to/1sa3EBH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Something Wicked This Way Comes</a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't let this Disney movie fool you! This is one awesome fantasy-horror type movie that takes place right around Halloween, as one of the boys was born a minute before Halloween and the other a minute into Halloween day. Something Wicked This Way Comes was originally a <a href="http://amzn.to/1scWFrR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">book, written by Ray Bradbury</a> and he also wrote the screenplay for the movie, so it is a very close adaptation. Mr. Dark is another one of my favorite evil characters and the Mr. Dark's Pandemonium Carnival has inspired many of my Cthulhu and Ravenloft gaming adventures. By far the best Disney movie ever made, Something Wicked This Way Comes is another great classic for setting the mood this Halloween season. Why is there no Funko POP! Mr. Dark yet?<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
You can't think of Halloween movies without immediately thinking of the horror genre of movies. Horror movies and Halloween are a close knit link, so of course I have to include the best horror movie ever made in my list of top movies for Halloween. The Thing is one of the best horror movies because of the fear, paranoia, and overall assault of your sanity that comes along when watching this great film. Trapped in an ice station with something infecting and evolving you and your companions one by one. Who will be next? In most horror movies, the characters do stupid things to get themselves killed. In John Carpenter's The Thing, the characters choose the actions you would expect a real person to make and still end up in trouble, which makes it that much more realistic and scary. Best horror movie ever! <a href="http://amzn.to/1D1IZpS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The music from the film</a> is damn creepy too and makes great background music for a Halloween party or trick-or-treat night.<br />
<br /></div>

</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The SAW series of movies was always special for Halloween, as each individual SAW movie was release on Halloween weekend. You may recall all of the previews that ended with "Coming This Halloween." I really enjoyed the entire series of SAW, as there was a ton of foreshadowing in each movie that you didn't realize was there until you've seen the later sequels. The SAW series was great because it turned horror into intellectual torture horror. Just how many crazy puzzles can Jigsaw come up with? At least they do have a <a href="http://amzn.to/1tfEojS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Funko PoP! for Bloody Billy</a> the iconic character in the SAW series,</div>
<div>

<br />
<br />
Rob Zombie's directorial debut was an instant cult classic. This sick and creepy slaughterfest takes place during Halloween and is packed full of sick and twisted horror and gore filled fun. If you enjoy grindhouse horror, then you simply can't miss the prequel to <a href="http://amzn.to/1sd8e2c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Devil's Rejects</a>. It's in House of 1000 Corpses where we first meet Captain Spaulding, Baby, Otis, and the rest of the Firefly clan. The best evil clown around, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Funko%20POP%20Movies:%20Captain%20Spaulding%20Vinyl%20Figure" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Captain Spaulding has his own Funko POP!</a> Be warned, this film isn't for the more easily disturbed. Bring an apron and splash shield because this one gets really messy! Mwahahahah!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Geeky Clothing Items I Need In My Closet Immediately</span></b></h2>
<br />
<br />
This week's topic for 5 Fandom Fridays has us looking into our favorite geeky items that we would love to buy for ourselves. Of course these would also make great gift ideas for others that have similar interests, but today is all about me and what I would like to own. Here is my list of 5 of the coolest geeky clothing items that I would love to have in my closet.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Official Knight Hoodie</span></h3>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/official-knight-hoodie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Hoodie Shaped Like Knight" border="0" src="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/official-knight-hoodie.jpg" title="Official Knight Hoodie" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Official Knight Hooded Sweatshirt</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<a href="http://amzn.to/1vXPdo5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Official Knight Hoodie</a> is just plain awesome and is a must have for any fantasy fans. You can't get any geekier than this grey fantasy knight armor based hooded sweatshirt.<br />
<br />
It is complete with a knight's face shield, pauldrons, and gauntlets. If I had the knight's hoodie I would also buy the <a href="http://amzn.to/1vPmX7l" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Broad Sword Umbrella</a> for the complete knightly look.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/2013/12/the-official-knight-hoodie-a-must-have-for-fantasy-fans.html/" target="_blank">Official Knight Hoodie</a> is definitely medieval wear for the modern man. You could fight your way through the cold with this awesome knight hoodie, or slay goblins on your way to class. <br />

<br />
This <a href="http://amzn.to/1sf4R0w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">League of Legends Volibear T-shirt</a> is my favorite of all of the <a href="http://amzn.to/1oSehZR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">League of Legends shirts</a>. Volibear is my absolute favorite League of Legends champion to play. I like the blue color for the Volibear Tee the best, as it is available in multiple colors.<br />
<br />
Of course, I need to get a shirt that represents my favorite League of Legends champion since I've been mainly only playing League these days. It's a lot of fun and very competitive, which suits my gaming needs. Check out other cool <a href="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/league-of-legends-gifts-tshirts-hoodies/" target="_blank">League of Legends Hoodies and Shirts</a> and there are even cool <a href="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/11-fun-cozy-league-of-legends-hats/" target="_blank">replicas of League of Legends Hats</a> that you can wear.<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A2ITTU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B007A2ITTU&link_code=as3&tag=oldsgolworla-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Melting Rubik's Cube Tee</a> is my favorite shirt that can be seen on The Big Bang Theory TV show. That's right! It's one of the many <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/11/gifts-for-gamers-t-shirts-worn-by.html" target="_blank">tee shirts worn by Sheldon Cooper</a>, who is one of the best comedy sitcom characters on television.<br />
<br />
I like the Melting Rubik's Cube Tee because it looks like the fusion of a Rubik's Cube and a Gelatinous Cube from Dungeon's & Dragons. Or it could be a play on it being an ice cube and therefore it is melting.

Who doesn't want to see Cthulhu eating a bunch of white girls ordering cappuccinos and pumpkin spiced lattes? Instead of the iconic Starbucks white girl with long hair, this logo shows Cthulhu with his long tentacles instead. Such an awesome improvement. I stop at Starbucks many times a week on my way to work and I would love to see the look on their faces when I walk in wearing this sweet Cthulhu Starbucks shirt. This is such a great piece of <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2014/10/art-call-of-cthulhu-posters.html" target="_blank">Call of Cthulhu Art</a>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Zombie Herd Long Sleeve Shirt</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The <a href="http://amzn.to/1CWgFHj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Long Sleeve Zombie Herd Shirt</a> is pretty sweet and would make a great <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-ultimate-zombie-lovers-gift-guide.html" target="_blank">gift for any zombie lovers</a> or <a href="http://giftsforgamersandgeeks.com/the-walking-dead-mega-gift-list/" target="_blank">gift ideas for Walking Dead fans</a>. Zombies are all the craze these days with the success of The Walking Dead TV series, but I'm yet to own a zombie shirt. That needs to change! I like the colors used in this long sleeve Zombie Herd shirt and I also like how the zombies in the background are shadows, with only the detail on the closest zombie. That helps to portray the message that there are a lot of zombies coming, but this one is right on top of you. <br />

<br />
<i>Well, hello again!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It's been a while since I've posted anything with a regular consistency, since I got completely burned out on Warcraft and no longer play the game. I've written some posts here and there on various games, but have been wanting to get back into a bit more regular blogging. With winter coming and more down time at work, I've got a bit more available writing time on my hands and have been itching to get the blog posts rolling again. I've started to get my creative juicing flowing again and have decided to participate in a new community building project.</i><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Gateway Fandoms That Made Me Who I Am Today</span></b><br />
<br />
The first topic in the 5 Fandom Fridays series is designed to explore the things we love that helped turn us into the geeks and nerds that we have become. It's sorta hard to narrow it down to 5 things, but the 5 I've chosen have definitely helped shape me into the geeky, nerdy guy that I am today.<br />

I have always had a very competitive nature and gaming has been one of the ways to compete with family, friends, and even strangers for as long as I can remember. From the earliest of ages, I was the neighborhood kid that gathered the local kids to group up and play sports together, started the local board game groups, gathered friends for my own amateur card game tournaments, started up the neighborhood role-playing group, and so much more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always been interested in games of all types, including but not limited to: <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/11/gifts-for-gamers-top-10-board-games.html" target="_blank">board games</a>, role-playing games, trading card games, <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/11/gifts-for-gamers-top-5-table-top-card.html" target="_blank">table-top card games</a>, miniatures games, mobile gaming, video games, and PC gaming. Hell, I've been involved in damn near every type of gaming there is except for LARPing. Those guys are real nerds! ROFL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I play games almost daily.</li>
<li>I write a blog about gaming: <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Cold's Gold Factory</a></li>
<li>I co-host a variety gaming podcast: <a href="http://eviscerated.net/" target="_blank">The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast</a> (NSFW)</li>
<li>I've been ranked as high as #17 in the world in Magic the Gathering (Old School Type 1)</li>
<li>I placed 5th at the MageKnight Nationals at Origins.</li>
<li>I've made millions in gold in World of Warcraft.</li>
<li>I own a bunch of gaming inspired clothing.</li>

My passion for electronic music surges through my blood and ears almost daily. Ever since I heard my first 4 on the floor beat, I have been addicted to House Music. I've danced my nights away for 9-10 hours straight at plenty of old school raves and warehouse parties. I've collected a massive amount of dance music for many years. Having also been trained musically in school, I was a quick learner when it came to stepping up a notch and becoming a DJ myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having originally started working with Technics and Vinyl as a French House DJ, lately I've transferred over to DJing digitally with my trusty <a href="http://amzn.to/1rOrwPZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Traktor S2</a> and a slew of the hottest, freshest tracks I can find. My favorite genre to mix is Complextro, which is a sub-genre of house music, but I spin almost every genre on my sets on the Eviscerated Gaming Podcast. Each week we close the podcast episodes with a recorded set that I mix live and the genres vary from week to week as I explore all types of electronic dance music. The segment on EGP is called Electronic Education and I also have a stand alone <a href="http://edmdjmixshow.com/" target="_blank">Electronic Education Podcast</a> where I focus on Electro House, Progressive House, and Complextro in addition to featuring other DJ guest mixes. Both EGP and EEP can be found on iTunes and Stitcher Radio.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are into electronic music as well, then I am always linking my mixes out on my personal/gaming twitter account (<a href="https://twitter.com/SSmith0911" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@SSmith0911</a>) and my music account (<a href="https://twitter.com/ElectronicEDM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@ElectronicEDM</a>).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I am a DJ.</li>
<li>I listen to dance music almost daily.</li>
<li>I was an old-skool raver.</li>
<li>Even at 40 years old, I still go to clubs to dance and hear touring DJs.</li>
<li>I record music mixes weekly.</li>
<li>I spin on live shows, live streams, and record weekly mixes for EGP.</li>
<li>I spend more on new dance music than I do on clothing.</li>
<li>I carry the Circle of 5ths with me everywhere I go.</li>
<li>I have no fewer than 20 of my own mixes on my phone at a time.</li>
<li>I'm happy staring into a blinking light, if dance music is playing.</li>

I've always had a great love for trying new foods, reading food labels, experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, and exploring in the grocery store, deli, or import market. I enjoyed food and the sciences involved with food and nutrition so much that I majored in Food & Nutrition / Clinical Dietetics. I know more about food and nutrition than most people. I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Dietetics.</div>

As a result, I developed a desire to see and try all kinds of new foods and restaurants, since I wasn't allowed to growing up. I am always on the hunt for new restaurants opening up here in St. Louis and I love to try out food festivals and tasting events.</div>
<div>
I talk way too passionately about food and restaurants and I am the guy who scopes out all the new places and then tells everyone else about the great places or dishes I find.</div>

The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=hp%20lovecraft&linkCode=ur2&sprefix=hp%20lo%2Caps&tag=oldsgolworla-20&url=search-alias%3Daps&linkId=3YHQWGHEAOWMPGPU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">short stories and books by HP Lovecraft</a> are some of my favorite books I've ever read. The twisted, dark, macabre stories of demonic creatures and creepy settings have always been great reads, especially if read by candle light on a stormy night! I have spawned many other Lovecraft fans through lending my literature and teaching others about the Cthulhu Mythos. </div>

What I find awesome about Call of Cthulhu was the fact that the average life expectancy of a character was half a gaming session, which allowed for a lot of sick and twisted fun for the Keeper (CoC equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons' Dungeon Master). Contrary to other types of role-playing games the best characters were not the biggest, baddest, strongest, toughest characters you could make. The strongest and best characters where actually the ones with the highest speed and danger sense as running away from unspeakable evils is almost always better than trying to fight or going insane from the unspeakable madness. Mwahahahahah! So yeah, I owe a lot of my being a sick and twisted individual to HP Lovecraft and The Cthulhu Mythos.

I'm what they refer to in Philadelphia as a "4 for 4 Guy", which means I'm a fan of all 4 of the major Philadelphia sports teams. I love the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers. The crazy thing is that I picked what teams I liked when I was a child before I could read and the decisions on which teams would be my teams were based on either my favorite players at the time and/or the teams uniforms and colors. It just so happened that all the teams I liked with the cool uniforms or players turned out to all be teams from Philly! And I've been a 4 for 4 guy ever since. Go Philly!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had never actually been to Philadelphia until this year (2014), when my girlfriend took me to the Eagles home opener for my 40th birthday weekend. We had an absolute blast and I've grown to love the city and the Philly teams even more. </div>

<b>How To Get More Experience In Your Hearthstone Games</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Earning experience in Hearthstone is important to newer Hearthstone players because leveling your decks is how you unlock the free basic cards. For the more experienced Hearthstone player, experience is required to unlock the golden versions of the class cards, as well as golden versions of some of the neutral minion cards in the game. How do you earn more experience so that you can unlock your golden cards faster and get that deck to level 60? Well, there are 4 main elements that figure into how much experience you earn in a real game of Hearthstone. I say a real match, because joining a match where one player concedes before round 3 doesn't award nearly as much experience. Here are the 4 primary factors that contribute to how much experience you will earn.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>4 Key Elements in Earning More Experience In Hearthstone Matches:</b></h3>
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Playing Versus Human Opponents Awards More Experience (Past Level 10)</li>
<li>Winning A Match Awards More Experience Than Losing</li>
<li>The More Cards You Play, The More Experience You Earn</li>
<li>You Get More Experience The More Enemy Minions You Kill</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Playing Against Humans Awards More Experience Than Playing AI</h3>
You earn less experience against the AI, than against human opponents. Once you reach level 10 with a deck, you will get nerfed experience if you continue to play versus the AI. It's perfectly ok to play versus the AI up until level 10, then switch over to playing humans. Up until level 10 the experience award is the same versus bots or versus humans. The bots are more easily exploited to earn maximum experience from the other key elements below. <b>After Level 10, Play Against Humans</b>.<br />
<br />
BOTS SUCK<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Winning Awards More Experience Than Losing</h3>
Ok, this should be a no-brainer. No matter what game mode you are playing in Hearthstone, you will always see a bigger experience award for a win. If you are losing and you are trying to maximize your experience earned in your Hearthstone matches, then <b>You Should Never Concede</b> because of the next 2 key elements.<br />
<br />
WIN, WIN, WIN<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The More Cards You Play, The More Experience You Earn</h3>
You earn extra experience for every card you play in your Hearthstone games (and again if re-casting a minion returned to your hand). That's one reason why you shouldn't concede. Even if you are losing, you should try to play as many minions and cast as many spells as you can before the match ends in order to earn the most experience possible. It doesn't matter what cards you play, because they are all worth the same amount of experience. So if the match is over and you are just waiting to lose, <b>Play As Many Cards As You Can</b> before your death.<br />
<br />
The same holds true if you are winning! Even if you already can kill the opponent on this turn, playing more cards before you deliver the lethal blow, will earn you more experience for the match victory. <b>Always Dump Your Hand Before Giving The Lethal Blow</b>.<br />
<br />
CAST ALL THE THINGS<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The More Minions You Kill, The More Experience You Will Receive</h3>
Killing enemy minions awards experience for every enemy killed, including totems and other token creatures. (Token creature: A minion originally created by a Hero Power or summoned from a Battlecry or Deathrattle effect.) Every minion you destroy awards the same amount of experience, so it doesn't matter which ones you choose to destroy. This is another reason for not conceding too early. Even if the match is lost, you can earn more experience be killing some of his minions before the end of your turn. So if you are completely dead next turn, don't concede and don't just attack the player. Use your minions and spells to destroy some of the enemy minions to maximize how much experience your losing match will award you. <br />
<br />
If you are winning, instead of just immediately dealing lethal damage to the opposing player, wipe out more of his minions before delivering that final blow so that you too can earn more experience for your Hearthstone victory. So remember whether you are winning or losing, <b>Kill More Minions Before The Match Ends</b>.<br />
<br />
KILL ALL THE THINGS<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
End of Match Trolling Versus Experience Farming In Hearthstone</h3>
One of the common misconceptions that new players have is that their opponent is trolling them when they should just go ahead and kill the new player off and end the match. Many times you know you are dead, the opponent has lethal damage on the board, yet he continues to cast spells and play more minions when he doesn't even need to because we think he's just showing off, gloating, or trolling us.<br />
<br />
"I'm already dead, you wanker! Just kill me!" We've all been there and thought it. Just put us out of our misery so we can move on to the next game, right? Wrong! Think about those <b>4 Key Elements In How Hearthstone Experience Is Earned</b> that we just covered.<br />
<br />
Instead of getting upset that your opponent is trolling you or just showing off instead of dealing you lethal damage, let's assume that she's trying to maximize her own experience earned in her Hearthstone match. Or we could assume that she's working on completing her daily quests so that she can <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/09/Hearthstone-Beta-Gold-Grinding.html" target="_blank">maximize her gold earned while playing Hearthstone</a>. Most likely, she's probably working on her daily quests and trying to earn more experience at the same time. So try to give your opponent the benefit of the doubt. They are working on unlocking their decks and golden cards too.<br />
<br />
And you should be doing the same thing to maximize your experience earned in each Hearthstone match. Don't concede too early. Play your cards and take out as many minions as you can before you lose. And even if you are winning, dumping your hand and killing as many minions as you can will earn you more experience and shorten your grind to 60.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
The "It's Just Bots" Fallacy in Riot's MOBA: League of Legends</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=5325fd152ca6b662425758" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn1X1ROcZx6yiaI_widIMvvtF8ap1dUazuzxjlc8F4Yv5gh6Rc_ItKExUUYJ4ZCJjTc1qrbAZyZy6d-LP1p4JQovHfeBXF3he8kVlOL19Jo6Nyi_NhlmtUXmzMd55lBzr38ia7OH161EA/s1600/play_league_of_legends.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
League of Legends Basics</h3>
League of Legends is a MOBA (Multi-Player Online Battle Arena) that I have been playing as my main game for the last few months. League of Legends is an absolute blast and the game really tailors to my competitive nature as it can be highly competitive, especially within ranked play. Before you can even think about trying out Ranked Play Mode in League of Legends, you must first get your Summoner (this is what they call player accounts in LoL) level to 30 and only then does the option of beginning to start competitive ranked play become an option on your game selection screen. <br />
<br />
Prior to reaching level 30, you must continue to play the various game modes and accumulate experience for your summoner, unlocking Runes and Mastery skill points along the way. This grind to 30 is best used as a learning experience for newer players to figure out the game mechanics, start to understand the meta-game involved with competitive play, and serve as times to help identify which Champions (the characters you select to play in a given League of Legends match) best fit your own play-style, as well as which roles you prefer to play on your team. You see, League of Legends is a team game, or team sport. So you must work together as a team in order to achieve victory. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Random Teammates in League of Legends Aren't Always Friendly</h3>
Problems start to arise within all the forms of the games due to the inclusion of all types of players into these same matchmaking queues. League of Legends has been known for having a horrible community of players, probably because of the mixing of very competitive players and brand new fresh players, both of which can be paired in the same non-ranked matches. Add in the ability to queue up with your brand new friend, and you've got a mixture of all types of skill levels within the same non-ranked games and tempers can flare when someone is holding the team back, or worse, feeding the opposing team and making them stronger. <br />
<br />
Luckily I haven't seen much in the ways of the horrible nature of insults that such a "toxic gaming player base" is known to spew out at other players (probably because I'm still grinding to level 30), but I have seen my fair share of whining, bitching, nagging, and attacking other players for their Champion choice, play style, or inexperience in playing League of Legends properly. While I tend to try to be one of the team leaders and more helpful players for those that appear inexperienced, I do try hard not to get frustrated with new players who don't seem to understand exactly how to play League of Legends properly. New players don't frustrate me nearly as much as the more experienced players who think they are some special snowflake that got stuck playing with us inexperienced losers.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Learning Through AI Bot Matches in League of Legends</h3>
As stated before, I tend to try and help out new players that I get matched with on my team while playing un-ranked games in League of Legends. We were all new at one point in time. Many of us resorted to learning the game on our own through trial and error. When trial and error wasn't good enough we turned to the internet, online champion builds, and strategy articles to try and get a better grasp on the game mechanics because the in game tutorial can only teach you the absolute basics of the game and most other players aren't helpful or aren't teaching new players how to properly play League of Legends during matches. <br />
<br />
Within most game modes, you have the option of playing versus humans (PvP) or playing vs bots (AI). It is best to start learning how to play LoL in the matches versus Basic level bots and then work your way up to Intermediate bots, before advancing on to the hardcore PvP mode versus other players. The bot options are there for new players to learn the game, for any player to learn a new Champion, a new lane, a new play style, or test out a new item build. Bot games are practice modes within 2 levels of difficulty designed for teaching and learning. The biggest problem with teaching and learning in the AI bot games is other experienced players and the commonly thrown out statement "It's Just Bots!"<br />
<br />
<h3>
The "It's Just Bots!" Fallacy in League of Legends</h3>
Bot games are for learning the game or learning a new champion. Bot games are for teaching your newly installed friend how to play. Bot games are for teaching team make up, how to last kill, proper phases of the game, knowing your role, learning to team fight, and advancing your skills. Bot games are where you take that new recruit you signed up so they can learn before being exposure to PvP mode. For some though, bot games are for farming IP (the currency you get from matches that is used to purchase Champions, Runes, and other items in the League of Legends shop. And for other more experienced veterans, bot games are just a faceroll where you can't possibly lose, or so they believe. Then when things get ugly and the team gets behind because not everyone is as proficient as the snobby veteran player, the fangs can come out and the bitching, whining, nagging, and harassing starts. <br />
<br />
There are many players that understand that the AI bot games are for learning, teaching, and improving your skills. There are also many players that commonly spout out "It's Just Bots!" anytime someone asks a question, asks for help, or questions someones choice of Champion to be added to the team. "It's Just Bots!" is not a statement that helps anyone. There are plenty of matches that my team has got their ass handed to us by an AI bot team. Bots aren't a pushover. Bots aren't always easy, especially if fed. Bots definitely aren't an easy faceroll to a newer player. There are plenty of times that Mr Badass hasn't been able to carry the team, even when facing ""just bots", so stop with the damn "It's Just Bots!" attitudes please!<br />
<br />
When teaching or helping newer players learn the game, the best results will come from teach them the proper ways to play, which includes what team makeup is expected on your team. <br />
<br />
For most teams in PvP mode, you will expect to find:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 Top Lane Fighter/Tank type</li>
<li>1 Jungler</li>
<li>1 Mid Lane Mage / AP Carry</li>
<li>1 Bot Lane ADC Marksman</li>
<li>1 Bot Lane Support</li>
</ul>
<div>
So when your team queues up as 4 Fighters and 1 Tank (happened just the other night), don't be surprised when the match goes poorly (we lost). Of course, what was the response during the team building phase when I asked, "Is anyone going to play an ADC, Support, or a Mage?" Yup, you guessed it. "It's Just Bots!" Well, those bots just kicked our ass and you've contributed to wasting all of our time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Stop With The "It's Just Bots!"</h3>
<div>
The "It's Just Bots!" excuses need to stop. You can't expect players to perform up to your standards in PvP, if you are constantly reinforcing poor choices and bad behaviors in the bot training matches. I'm willing to bet that the "It's Just Bots!" crowd is part of the same crowd that bitches and whines when players aren't performing properly in PvP and Intermediate bot games. You people are part of the problem! You continually allow poor team construction and improper Champion lane placement and then bitch and whine when that same player continues to do what they've been allowed to do in the games they've played so far. You can't just flip a magical switch and say "Ok, forget all of the bad habits we taught you in bot matches and start to play correctly now that we are in PvP matches". It just doesn't work. You send mixed messages and those lead to new player frustration and in turn, more frustration for experienced players when matched with improperly taught newer players.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So let's stop with the "It's Just Bots!" mentality and instead focus on teaching newer players the proper way of playing from the start. The entire community experience and player skill level will improve as a whole and new players can more quickly become quality contributing members of any team. Teach them properly and you too will reap the rewards. If you continue to shrug off those "just bots", then the new players will continue to learn poor habits and the experienced player base will continue to be frustrated with the new players joining the ranks in the of League of Legends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Teach a new player how to play the game properly. They may be the guy responsible for saving your ass or winning the game, as opposed to feeding the enemy and costing us all the match. It's not "just bots", it's a tool for teaching how to play the game properly.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Today's feature is a guest post from <a href="http://wownewsteam.com/">WoWNewsTeam.com</a>. I am still accepting guest posts, if you too would like to reach a larger audience than your normal blog. Just contact me for details.</span></i><br />
<br />
In this farm entry, I’m bringing back one of the oldies.
If you haven’t heard of it, the BWL (Blackwing Lair) magic farm is by far the best place to snag up as much runecloth as your little bags can handle. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes to get the hang of it. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll likely walk away with more than enough transmog pieces to keep the auctioneers busy for weeks.<br />
<br />
But enough hyperbole, let’s get into the basics.<br />
<br />
<b>The BWL Magic Farm and You: How It’s Done </b><br />
<br />
This farm takes place in the crimson laboratories in BWL. Skip to 2:59 to cut out all the YouTube chatter. The strategy is simple, your goal is to kill the Blackwing Technicians, all the while, keeping the Blackwing Spellbinders alive. Which is easy, because the blackwing spellbinders are immune to magic.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="221" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/q3LHYPpG6Lc" width="341"></iframe><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>But Why Not Kill the Spellbinders?</b><br />
<br />
Meaning if you only kill the blackwing technicians, and then drop combat, the technicians will instantly respawn. The goal is to not harm any of the spellbinders. The respawns work kind of like how a raid boss’s adds will respawn after a wipe. Except this time instead of wiping we’ll intentionally drop combat so we can start the encounter over. If done correctly, you can farm the technicians indefinitely. Their respawn rate is only limited by your ability to drop combat.<br />
<br />
<b>Learning The Pull: The Biggest Obstacle. </b><br />
<br />
All farms have obstacles, no matter how small or insignificant. For this farm, the most difficult part is learning the pulls (second to finding the loot of course). For the most part, the general pulling strategy starts at the entrance of the room and ends at the stairwell corner. Your job is to agro both floors of engineers and bring them back to the corner cut-off. That way, you can LOS them until their all gathered up for your AOE. (For assistance refer to 3:39 in the video)<br />

<br />
Also, feel free to aggro the bosses, but refrain from killing them. Yes, they may do some nasty damage, but overall, the bosses help you pull faster as you drag them between both floors. Also, if your health
drops too low, start killing the goblins as you pull them back to the stairway. Doing so will relieve some pressure, and you can always just go back and loot them the next run.<br />
<br />
<b>Getting The Right Classes: The Only Drawback. </b><br />
<br />
<i>One major drawback here.</i> Not everyone can do this. You do need to have a character that can drop combat multiple times in a small session. That limits eligible characters to:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Night Elf Priests (Shadowmeld) / Spectral Guise </li>
<li>All Priests (Spectral Guise) </li>
<li>Night Elf Druids (Shadowmeld) </li>
<li>Hunters (Feign Death) </li>
<li>Mages (Invisibility) </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
The other characters that may have combat-dropping abilities, lack the magic damage needed to avoid the spellbinders. And while it’s not impossible to micro-manage your targeting, it does make this farm much less efficient.<br />
<br />
<b>Exploring The Loot Tables, Drops and Runecloth </b><br />
<br />
So as for the rewards...<br />
<br />
You can expect around 1700 pieces of runecloth in an hour, and about 9,000g worth of mogging goods if your lucky. The other miscellaneous goods consist of elementium ingots, pristine blackrock diamonds, and a very small chance to get your hands on a skull-flame shield.<br />
<br />
But as for the excess runecloth, and all the other things you could do to squeeze gold outta this farm..
I think it’s best if I let Cold give you the details from previous posts or you can stop by my website and let me teach it to ya at: <a href="http://www.wownewsteam.com%20/" target="_blank">WoWNewsTeam.com</a><br />

Either way, It’s all in good fun.<br />

<i>Thanks for the guest post on the great Runecloth Farming spot Steve! I really don't like to ever use gold per hour numbers and especially don't use them on farming spots, mainly because you can't quantify the value of random drops. So take this for what it is worth: A great spot for farming runecloth with chances at transmog gear and other goodies</i>. <b><i>Your actually gold per hour may vary.</i></b> -Cold</div>

Demand and Loot Code Use As A Blogger or Podcaster</h3>
<br />
As a World of Warcraft blogger, I learned one thing early on: <b> Warcraft players love their <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/p/wow-tcg-codes.html" target="_blank">WoW Trading Card Game Loot</a>!</b> Many players are willing to buy multiple booster packs and cases of WoW TCG boosters just for a chance to win some loot codes. More specifically, players are always on the hunt for the super rare and expensive mounts and pets and buying the actual booster packs for a chance at opening a rare is often a more affordable option for many players, since prized treasures like the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018A1U7S/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0018A1U7S&linkCode=as2&tag=oldsgolworla-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spectral Tiger Mount</a> can cost $500 or more.<br />
<br />
As a Warcraft blogger, I also learned another key bit of wisdom: <b>Buying WoW TCG loot cards for giveaways is an incredible efficient way to expand and advertise your blog</b>! I've often purchased handfuls of WoW TCG pet loot cards to use as contest awards and giveaways. Whether you are holding a blog birthday celebration, looking for new followers on twitter, need ideas for podcast giveaways, or are <a href="http://aweber.com/?366896" target="_blank">building your email newsletter</a> subscriptions, <b><a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/07/guide-to-wow-tcg-pet-loot-codes.html" target="_blank">WoW TCG pet codes</a> and <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/08/wow-tcg-loot-card-codes-vanity-items.html" target="_blank">WoW TCG vanity codes</a> are super efficient advertising tools to incorporate into your advertising budget</b>. <br />
<br />
Many times you can find pet codes for under $5-$10 each on Amazon and I've bought some pet codes for as little as $1.99-$3.99 each. That $5 investment into a giveaway is super cheap for advertising that actually works to bring you new and returning traffic as well as new subscribers. And for the big celebrations,<b> giving away <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/08/wow-tcg-mount-loot-codes.html" target="_blank">WoW TCG Mount cards</a> will really bring the traffic and subscriptions home</b>, if you wish to invest a bit more for those more expensive mount codes.<br />
<br />
So if you are a World of Warcraft blogger or podcaster, then I highly recommend grabbing some WoW TCG loot cards to use as giveaways and advertising tools. It's a great low cost marketing investment idea that actually works.<br />

The 2 Main Types Of WoW TCG Booster Pack Buyers</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some players prefer to gamble for a chance at winning, as opposed to buying the loot cards specifically. This can be a lot of fun or a headache if you gamble and don't get what you want. Try to remember that this is a form of gambling, not all booster packs are going to contain loot cards, and it's never cool to leave a horrible review on a booster pack purchase just because you didn't get the loot card you wanted out of your booster packs! I see it all too often!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>This guide should help to serve two types of buyers: The Gambler & The Add-On Shopper.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Gambler </b>is the Warcraft player that loves to buy the WoW TCG Booster packs and cases of boosters in hopes of pulling an expensive loot card to either use for their own Warcraft characters in game or to have a real life investment item that they seek to flip for a real life profit. Yes, there are players who buy cases in hopes of finding a rare mount to sell for cash. When the booster pack cases are on sale and deeply discounted, this tactic has the potential to be very rewarding. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Add-On Shopper</b> is the Warcraft player who is already shopping on Amazon and buying something for themselves that isn't that expensive. Amazon has a policy that you get free shipping on many items if your pre-tax shopping total of Amazon purchased items is $35 or greater (<i>current policy and subject to change</i>). The Add-On Shopper knows about the free shipping requirement of $35, so when his shopping cart totals to just $25, he adds a few unopened WoW TCG booster packs to his order to bump the total to just over $35 to get the free shipping option. This option is a wise one because instead of throwing away money on shipping alone, you spend a tad bit more and get booster packs and can gamble for a chance to get one of those expensive mounts or pets! <i>Remember to think like the Add-On Shopper when your next Amazon purchase totals just under the free shipping threshold of $35</i>. </div>

Which WoW TCG Booster Packs Contain What Rare Loots?</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those players that are interested in buying their own WoW TCG booster packs, it helps to have a breakdown of what exact loot cards can be found in which booster packs, since there are a ton of already released expansions for the Warcraft trading card game and not all of them contain WoW loot codes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rarity is also important to keep in mind. The rarest of the loot cards will almost always be the mounts within that expansion. The vanity items and pets will usually be either common or uncommon distribution, but the mounts will almost always be the rarest and hardest to find. While it is possible to buy just a single booster pack and get a rare mount, it is also very unlikely. Buying a case of TCG booster packs increases your odds of getting a rare loot card, but still is not a guarantee. Although buying a sealed booster box is a guarantee that you will receive some loot cards, it doesn't guarantee that you will get a mount card.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Make sure to check the prices between booster packs and cases because some of these sets you can buy a full booster box for under $25!</div>

<br />
<br />
Path of Exile is a game that we discuss a bit on the upcoming episode of <a href="http://eviscerated.net/" target="_blank">The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast</a> (Will be episode #83). It's basically a Diablo-like clone, but is more what you would have expected as a continuation of Diablo 2, unlike that garbage that is the official Diablo 3 game. <br />
<br />
One of the cool things about Path of Exile is the built in streaming capability, so this last day off from work I gave it a whirl. I did some live streaming of Nonmail, Nev, Farli, & I running around in a 4 man group of fresh characters. That was a lot of fun, but later that night I decided to roll a new alt and try out the Witch class. I recorded the session and have uploaded it here for anyone to check out that may be interested in the game.<br />
<br />
I completely missed the automatically placed basic weapon that is placed at the starting spot on the beach next to the corpse / zombie, so I ended up killing the first boss completely naked and unarmed, with only my fists to defend me. I do discuss some of the basics of game play, the awesomely massive passive skill tree, and some of the games mechanics at the start of the video. So check out the video and see if Path of Exile is a game that you too may be interested in playing. I've been enjoying the game and a new change of scenery.<br />
<br />
You can try to catch me streaming live or watch playbacks of older streams on my channel: <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/cold0911">http://www.twitch.tv/cold0911</a> - I'm going to try to get set up to stream some of my other games like Wildstar, Hearthstone, & more.<br />

I've been playing these 3 decks for a while now and the recent nerfs to other classes, as well as the changes to some of the Hunter's cards, have made these 3 my top performing decks by far. I decided to share them with you so you can see what I've been playing and hopefully will help some of you newer players with deck ideas. Feel free to copy these decks, make changes, and adjust them to your own play style preferences.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Cold Cocked - Hunter Mid Range Control / Trap Deck</h3>
Remember how much you hate playing against a Hearthstone Mage Deck because all they need to do is 20 damage to you, then kill you with a Pyroblast? Yeah. We all do. Well, this Cold Cocked Hearthstone Hunter Deck works very similar to the Mage Decks. This Hunter deck uses removal, traps, and creatures to control the board, while plucking away with the 2 damage to opponent Hunter ability. The goal is to control the game and keep plucking away at their life total until you can get them down to 22 life, then it's time for the big ass stompin' dinosaur King Krush to come in and seal the deal. <br />
<br />
This deck combines elements of control along with efficient creatures and many possible combo set ups to catch your opponent off guard. With the right opening hand, this deck turns into a hunter rush deck with removal for support or can play the control stall game and bust out some heavy damage in the mid to late game.<br />
<br />
The single Houndmaster works ok in the deck, but is really just a place holder for Leeroy Jenkins, which I do not own yet. This deck is a lot of fun to play! <br />
<br />
Some possible fun combos that can appear while playing include:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Snake Trap w Knife Juggler and / or Starving Buzzard.</li>
<li>Starving Buzzard w Unleash the Hounds</li>
<li>Unleash the Hounds w Knife Juggler</li>
<li>Beast w Double Kill Command for 10 damage</li>
<li>Eaglehorn Bow with 5-6 durability from Trap triggers</li>
<li>Unleash the Hounds plus Scavenging Buzzard</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbParX0_wnc6Qm_dGxnWPOhvL-93y5eZkqIxtwDOmSkAtVNInJir3p2TA59838JJ7-klF1lmt_JVp_6FeUbiIZ8W2JyJULq4yu3NwGUYPLo1ns7cf5IUpLUQYo_beaCUI634YnB0XYU8/s1600/Hearthstone-Paladin-Pally-Deck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hearthstone Rush Paladin Deck" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbParX0_wnc6Qm_dGxnWPOhvL-93y5eZkqIxtwDOmSkAtVNInJir3p2TA59838JJ7-klF1lmt_JVp_6FeUbiIZ8W2JyJULq4yu3NwGUYPLo1ns7cf5IUpLUQYo_beaCUI634YnB0XYU8/s1600/Hearthstone-Paladin-Pally-Deck.jpg" title="Hearthstone Weenie Paladin Deck List" width="176" /></a>Paladin Rush Deck</h3>
<div>
This Hearthstone Paladin Deck is designed as a speed rush deck. The goal is to get an early tempo advantage with cheap cost, efficient pesky creatures and never ease up off of the accelerator. Speed beatdown is all about mantaining tempo, trading smart, and keeping pressure on the opponent so that he can't get a good defense set up, or must make poor trades to stay alive. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This deck can dominate the early game, push into the mid game for the kill. If you get to late game without winning, you can get into trouble as the late game is where speed rush decks stall out. Avenging Wrath and Lay on Hands are there to either help finish the game out or help to give you a bit more staying power in the later half of the game. Aldor Peacekeeper and the Equality / Consecration or Wild Pyromancer combos are a couple of answers to other player's big beefy minions and legendaries, should they appear. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tirion, Ragnaros, and / or Leeroy Jenkins would all make great additions to this deck if I owned any of them!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remeber, when playing this deck:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Push, Push, Push!</div>

Shaman Control Mid to Late Game Wins</h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This deck is a ton of fun to play and can be a nightmare to your opponent as there are a ton of removal spells, AoE board clearing, and some late game nasty heavy hitters. The goal with this deck is to control the board and let your opponent whittle his hand down to nothing, then you take the game over with your own minions and or remaining direct damage to finish out the game.<br />
<br />
This deck was made after all of the Warlock Murlock Rush Decks became so popular and it pretty much destroys all types of rush decks. So if you are tired of losing quickly to swarm decks, then this is the deck to try out! Big Taunts, AoE removal, and weapons that can kill 3 minions alone spell disaster for weenie rush decks and it is so much fun to have a full hand of cards against a petered-out rush deck that's stuck top-decking without a hope or prayer. <br />
<br />
A late game Al'Akir with Rockbiter Weapon and Flametongue Totem gets really nasty really fast, especially if the opponents has little to no cards left after your AoE and efficient removal whittles them to nothing.<br />
<br />
Earth Elemental is just plain Beatdown and can end the game early if cast on turn 5 and your opponent has no answer. It's not uncommon to drop an Earth Elemental on both turns 5 and 7 and you can almost hear your opponents whincing when they hit the board!<br />
<br />
Wild Pyromancer & Hex Combo will clear any (unstealthed) minion or legendary thrown at you. Fire Elemental is just plain Beatdown as well. Give this deck a try and I'm sure you will have as much fun playing it as I do.</div>
<br /></div>
<br />

I know who bought this and he blames this purchase on his wife. Lol. Sure ;)</li>

Doody Head! Have a peek at this silly game. It's even nuttier than you'd think. Someone wears a skullcap with velcro and you throw fake turd piles at their head.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Hearthstone Beta Key Contest<br />First Person To Solve And Claim The Key Is The Winner!</h2>
Hey gang! I've received yet another official Hearthstone Beta Key for Blizzard's closed beta. Just like the first extra one I got, I'm giving this one away to the first person to solve my trivia contest. The key is currently unclaimed and ready to be claimed by the first person to solve this puzzle.<br />
<br />
All of the answer have been discussed within one of our episodes of The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast, while some of the answers can be found within the show notes for the individual episodes. If you are regular listener of our podcast, then these questions will be much easier for you. Good Luck!<br />
<br />
<b>Why have a puzzle instead of just giving the Hearthstone beta key away?</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I would prefer the HS beta key to go to a follower or fan of the site or podcast, as opposed to some random person who is only here for a free key.</li>
<li>The puzzle puts the key code out in the open and removes the option of selling the key. First one to solve the puzzle and add the code to their Battlenet account gets the key. If you solve it, but don't add the code, the code will be added by someone else who solves the puzzle before you can sell it off.</li>
<li>There is no way to create and spam fake emails or fake accounts just to get extra entries into a giveaway contest.</li>
<li>A puzzle will be a lot more fun and feel more rewarding that a random drawing. I got a ton of praise for my last contest puzzle giveaway, so I'm back with another.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<b><br /></b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Hearthstone Closed Beta Key Code:</b></h3>
The Hearthstone Beta Key Code is 25 digits long. There are 25 multiple choice questions all pertaining to The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast. Each question is multiple choice. Just plug the number associated with the correct answer into that digit of the Hearthstone Beta Key code.<br />
<br />
<i>Example:</i><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><i> Roses Are Red, Violets Are _____.</i></li>
<ul>
<li><i>1 Green</i></li>
<li><i>2 Blue</i></li>
<li><i>5 Orange</i></li>
<li><i>8 Purple</i></li>
</ul>
</ol>
<div>
<i>The correct answer is Blue, so you would plug the number 2 as the first digit in the key code. Then you would solve for the rest of the digits as you answer the other questions.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
**********</div>

<b>Hearthstone Tips - Top Common Mistakes</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Improper Use Of Weapons</b></h2>
<i>This is another post in the Hearthstone Tips series on <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/11/hearthstone-tips-top-mistakes-i-see.html" target="_blank">Common Mistakes I See From Hearthstone Players</a>. Be sure to check out the first article, where I cover Top 1st Turn Player Mistakes in Hearthstone. </i><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Improper Use Of Weapons</h3>
Weapons play an important role for some of the classes in Hearthstone. Both the Rogue and Druid have weapon based hero powers and the Paladin, Warrior, Rogue, and Shaman all have weapon cards that can added to their Hearthstone Class Decks. <br />
<br />
All too often I see a common mistake made with weapons as players waste them on attacks against the opponent instead of using the weapons properly. I've even seen players use their coin on their first turn just so they could play a weapon a turn early, yet all they do is attack their opponent (or take it "to the face" as I call it) and waste their weapon.<br />
<br />
In order to learn and understand how to properly use your weapon, you should remember these 3 key points:<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Weapons are mainly for killing minions.</li>
<li>Don't waste your weapon on an opponent unless you are killing them soon.</li>
<li>Hold your weapon until the turn you will use it.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Weapons Are For Killing Minions</h3>
Sure, a weapon in Hearthstone can be used on either a minion or on a player, but they are far better used as minion killers, until you get the opponent close to death. Weapons should mainly be used as another form of creature removal. The downside when attacking a minion with a weapon is that you will take the minion's attack power as damage when you hit the minion. Maybe this is why some newer players don't use the weapons properly on minions and just use them against the opponent. Even though you take the minion's attack value as damage, taking that damage one time while killing the minion is much better than allowing the minion to survive, thus allowing it to continue to be a threat on the board turn after turn. So kill the minion, take the damage once, and remove that threat from the game. Don't ignore the minion, waste the weapon attack on an opponent, and then let that same minion attack you multiple times! Kill the minions with your weapons.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
When To Use A Weapon On An Opponent</h3>
Weapons in Hearthstone should primarily be used to remove threats from the game, but they also can be used to damage the opponent. You shouldn't be attacking the opponent with your weapon unless you are going to be killing them on that turn or you have enough damage to kill them the following turn. Wasting a weapon on an opponent early is a poor move because you are better off removing a threat and often times the early weapon damage you did will be healed up before the game ends anyways. There are certain special circumstances that are also acceptable for attack an opponent earlier than the killing blow, like attacking with the Truesilver Champion to get the +2 Life gain, just to survive another turn, but you should aim to only hit opponents with weapons when they are within reach of you killing them soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Hold Your Weapon Until You Are Going To Use It</h3>
There are two main reasons to not actually play your weapon until you are going to swing it. Those two reasons are: Protection and Suprise. Playing your weapon too early leaves you more open to having your weapon destroyed by an opponent's Acidic Swamp Ooze (Battlecry: destroy opponent's weapon) and you definitely want to get at least 1 attack out of a weapon you've played or it was a wasted play.<br />
<br />
Don't underestimate the value of surprise either. Playing your weapon too early gives the opponent a chance to hold in their hand the creatures that would die to the weapon. Then as soon as your weapon is out of durability, those minions will be summoned. Oh, you wasted the weapon attacks against the opponent and he played his threats after the weapon went poof? He played it smart; you didn't. No one is going to cast their 1/3 Northshire Cleric while you have that 3 attack weapon out. Let them play it first, then cast your weapon and kill it before the opponent can protect it or buff it's health up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
In Closing</h3>
Hopefully, you have a better understanding of how to properly use your weapons. Just remember that weapons in Hearthstone are mainly used for killing minions, since this removes threats that can hamper you over the course of multiple turns. Don't attack the opponent's face with weapons until you are close to delivering the killing blow. And make sure to hold the weapons until they will be used, so that you maintain the elements of surprise and protect your weapons from the Oozes.<br />

Preventing Mistakes Is Crucial To Winning In Hearthstone</h3>
Hearthstone is a very competitive online collectible card game. How you understand and play the game will have a direct result on the outcomes of your matches with your Hearthstone opponents. A simple mistake can be the difference between you earning a win or a loss, completing your daily, earning better awards in your Arena run, or being more efficient at <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/09/Hearthstone-Beta-Gold-Grinding.html" target="_blank">grinding for gold in Hearthstone</a>. All too often I see a common set of mistakes being made way too often. I'm not just talking about mistakes made by brand new players either. I've been paired up against a lot of the same players over and over and I can attest that not everyone learns from experience either because I continue to see the same poor mistakes made by some of the more "experienced" players as well. <br />
<br />
I've designed this post as the first in a series of <b>Tips For Playing Hearthstone Properly!</b> These posts will be designed to <b>Help You Learn & Think More Competitively</b>. Being a good Hearthstone player takes practice, as not everyone will be a 3-Star Master in Constructed or a Arena Grandmaster 9 wins player overnight. The best way to improve your game play is to practice. By playing more matches against real opponents, you will exposed to more play styles, strategies, and combos. During your matches you should be focused on the match so that you can learn something, instead of being absent minded and semi-AFK multi-tasking while you play Hearthstone. And remember what an old Magic the Gathering mentor told me, when I was constantly beating all of my hometown friends:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"You won't improve your own game, unless you are playing against players that are better than you."</blockquote>
So get into the Arena Mode and practice, get into Play Mode and practice, and go into Ranked Play Mode for even more practice. If you are paying attention and focusing on the matches, you will learn. Just make sure you are present and focusing on every move in the match. Sure, playing fun / themed decks against your friends may be a lot of fun, but you need to be playing competitive matches against competitive players in order to improve and learn more about the game and improve your Hearthstone playing skills.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Common Mistakes Made In Hearthstone:</h3>
I will go over some of the more common mistakes that I see made constantly in hopes of helping you to not only correct these mistakes, but also to help you start to think differently about how you are playing Hearthstone. I understand that these mistakes may not be so obvious to brand new Hearthstone players, especially ones that have never previously played any other collectible card games. Just remember that even the seasoned professionals, were all beginners at some point. You can get there too with some of my help. These tips for correcting your mistakes will be relevant for both Constructed Play Mode and Arena Mode Hearthstone decks.<br />
<br />
So let's look at some of the the<b> Top Mistakes I See Hearthstone Players Make</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Poor 1st Turn Play Choices</li>
<li>Not Knowing When To Coin</li>
<li>Adding Poor Card Choices To Their Deck</li>
<li>Casting Minions With Battlecry Effects & No Targets</li>
<li><a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/11/hearthstone-tips-mistakes-improper.html" target="_blank">Improper Use Of Weapons</a></li>
<li>Not Knowing When To Attack Minions Vs Opponent</li>
<li>Buffing At the End of Your Turn</li>
<li>Casting Direct Damage Spells Too Early</li>
</ul>
<br />
Let's debunk a few new player myths too, before we discuss the above mistakes:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>You Do Not Have To Play Something Every Turn</li>
<li>You Do Not Have To Spend All Or Most Of Your Mana Crystals Every Turn</li>
</ul>
<div>
Both of these common misunderstandings lead to making poor choices or force new players to waste good cards early or play them sooner than is ideal. If you continue to think and play as if you must spend as much mana possible every turn, you will find it hard to be a good competitive player and your win / loss ratio will reflect it. Sometimes the best move in a turn is to simply do nothing at all or just use your Hero Power for the turn and pass. You simply must stop thinking that you have to play a card every turn. Right now. STOP IT!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok. Now you can progress onward to being a better Hearthstone player.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Poor First Turn Choices</h3>
What you do on turn one will hardly ever win you the game, but it sure can play a strong role in you losing the game. On turn one, I commonly see horrible card play choices that often tell me that I'm going to win this game because this player doesn't understand how to play Hearthstone.<br />
<br />
<b>Common Poor First Turn Plays:</b><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Cast <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=389/elven-archer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elven Archer</a> / Shoot Me For 1 Damage</b>. - No, No, No! Just because the Elven Archer only costs 1 mana, doesn't mean you should waste it by playing it on turn 1. You should only ever use the Archer's battlecry effect on your opponent, if you have enough damage to kill them off within a turn or two. The 1 damage is MUCH better used to kill off an opponent's minion. You can kill a 1 health minion or use the 1 damage as an extra point of damage to kill a minion that already took damage. The Elven Archer can be used in combination with another creature attacking or used in tandem with a spell that needs just 1 more extra point to kill a minion. Never waste your Elven Archer on turn one on your opponent. I see these wasted all too often on turn 1, as I drop a 2/1 or 3/1 creature on turn 1 or 2 and proceed to hit the opponent multiple times with a minion they could have easily killed had they played smarter. So instead of wasting it on an opponent, use that 1 point of damage to remove a threat from the board.</li>
<li><b>Mage Cast <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=564/arcane-missiles" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Arcane Missiles</a> (with no minions out). I Take 3 Damage</b> - Wasted! Arcane Missiles is best used as a minion removal spell. Again, removing threats from the board will save you taking damage over multiple turns and is much more beneficial than a few cheap potshots against the opponent. Arcane Missiles can kill multiple creatures, especially if the opponent has a bunch of cheap 1 health minions out. Too often I see Arcane Missiles wasted on turn 1, then next turn I drop a <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=976/murloc-tidehunter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Murloc Tidehunter</a>, which is a 2/1 Murloc that also summons a 1/1 Murloc along with it. Shoulda saved that Arcane Missiles to kill off both Murlocs and do damage to me. Another reason not to waste Arcane Missiles early on is because it can also be buffed by minions that add to your Spell Damage. Each extra point of Spell Damage adds another 1 damage Arcane Missile. Cast it too early and you get no bonus from Spell Damage. I've even had a guy cast Arcane Missiles, then Coin, then a 2nd arcane Missiles all on Turn 1. So you Coined to waste both Missiles on me for 6 damage and you only have 2 cards left? Lol. Let me drop all these minions now. <i>This same issue can also be seen wasted with first turn cast <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=877/arcane-shot" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Arcane Shot</a>, <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=279/holy-smite" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Holy Smite</a>, <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=239/rockbiter-weapon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rockbiter Weapon</a>, <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=1050/claw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Claw</a>, and other damage spells that are better used to eliminate minions as threats instead of hitting the opponent too early in the match</i>.</li>
<li><b>Mage Cast <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=1084/mirror-image" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mirror Image</a></b> - This always brings a laugh out of me. Mirror Image is a pretty crappy spell that shouldn't even be in your deck the majority of the time. At worst it is a stall tactic and buys you a turn or two. At best it is used later on to protect some key minions from attacks for a turn or two, but I never see it played as minion protection. Instead of playing a card to stall your opponent, you are better off adding a removal spell to your deck to deal with what you are having to stall against in the first place. Playing Mirror Image on turn 1 is a complete waste. You don't have any creatures out to protect, the Mirror Images die easy to almost all AoE spells, and me ramming them with minions to kill them is only slowly your demise, while you hide behind your shoddy Mirror Images. The Mirror Images also give a false sense of protection because you have 2 taunters out, but they die so easily, I often destroy them both with AoE along with whatever was cast later and they don't even stop a creature at all.</li>
<li><b>First Turn Coin / Use Hero Power</b> - There is no Hero power worth wasting your Coin on. Don't do it. Save your coin for turns that you can get something out early that is worth getting out early. Or save the Coin for pulling off a 2 drop combo that you were 1 Mana short of casting. No Hero power is going to win you the game by wasting a coin just so you can Hero Power on turn 1.</li>
<li><b>Cast Minion With Battlecry Effect With No Valid Targets</b> - You just wasted your minions Battlecry effect! You want to get the best use of minions with battlecry effects. If it has a helpful effect, don't cast it until you can positively effect another minion of yours. If it has a negative effect, don't cast it until you can negatively effect an enemy minion. The battlecry effects are built into the casting costs of the minions, so casting a minion and wasting it's battlecry effect is almost always a bad play choice. Some examples of minions that you will see wasted on turn one include:</li>
<ol><ol>
<li><a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=242/abusive-sergeant" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abusive Sergeant</a> - He's much better used giving a temporary buff to a weak minion that you can use to suicide-ram a much bigger minion.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=443/hungry-crab" target="_blank">Hungry Crab</a> - Wait at least a few turns to see if some Murlocs get played by the opponent.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=997/bloodsail-corsair" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bloodsail Corsair</a> - It's ok to cast against weaponless decks, but hold it versus Class Decks that commonly use weapons.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=389/elven-archer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elven Archer</a> - This is the most common 1st turn mistake.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=132/voodoo-doctor" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Voodoo Doctor</a> - This is the 2nd most common one I see cast and wasted on turn 1.</li>
</ol>
</ol>

My best performing deck so far in Hearthstone's Play Mode is the one I am currently playing. The Priest Card Drawing Cleric Deck that I am playing is a modification of some of the basics only Priest decks that you can find online on various forums. Of course, like any wise player, I've adapted my own deck to include cards that I deem as better choices and that fit better into my own personal play styles. Let's take a look at the Hearthstone Priest Deck that I used to rather easily hit 3 star Master in hardly no time at all.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Priest Card Draw / Control</h3>
This Priest deck relies on efficient minions, card drawing potential, the Priest's Hero Power to heal, and trading minions wisely to achieve victory. The <a href="http://www.hearthhead.com/card=1650/northshire-cleric" target="_blank">Northshire Cleric</a> is awesome for gaining a card advantage over your opponent, if they are unable to get rid of it quickly. There are only 7 non-basic cards in this deck and the cheaper basics only version is almost just as good as this deck. I will provide options for a similar deck list that uses only basic cards later in this post.<br />
<br />
After the main wipe and patch in Hearthstone, Priest decks have risen to popularity because they now have on of the best sets of basic cards to choose from as a priest. Many of the basic minion cards work well with this type of Priest deck, so it is a common class that a lot of players have been trying out. The synergy and card drawing ability can be so good that even poor players can earn wins with this deck due to the sheer ability to gain such a great card advantage over your opponents. <br />
<br />
There are many matches where my opponent will be down to 1 or no cards without any minions, while I have a hand of 5 control spells and an answer to anything they can lay on the board. <br />
<br />
The weakness in a Priest deck is with creatures that are 4 attack power, since neither of the Shadow Word spells or the Shadow Madness can target them. So those 4 attack creatures either have to be killed with smart minion trades (and healing) or smoked with a Shadow Word: Death, should the opponent foolishly buff one out of the 4 attack safety zone. Then there is always the option of Mind Control if it is late enough in the game.<br />
<br />
Another important aspect of this deck is it's lack of true fatties. So any other Priest that you are playing that likes to hold their Mind Control for a big fatty to steal, will never see one and will often have to steal back the minion that you stole from them in the first place. Then once they steal it back, you SW:D the thing and laugh.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at this Priest Deck:<br />
<br />
<b>Minions</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2x <b>Northshire Cleric</b> - Runs the main card drawing engine. </li>
<li>2x <b>Amani Berserker</b> - Can hit for big while damaged, then be healed to protect.</li>
<li>2x<b> Novice Engineer </b>- Card drawing efficient low cost minion.</li>
<li>2x <b>Ironfur Grizzly</b> - Cheap taunter used to protect your cleric and other minions.</li>
<li>2x <b>Shattered Sun Cleric</b> - Great minion that gives a buff to another minion that can swing the tempo into your favor.</li>
<li>2x<b> Lightspawn</b> - Can get even bigger with a PW:Shield buff on them. Often will soak nasty removal spells like Hex and Polymorph and often trade multiple cards to kill.</li>
<li>2x <b>Sen'jin Shieldmasta </b>- Top notch taunter for protection.</li>
<li>1x <b>Darkscale Healer</b> - Comes in and heals all your minions and you. When cleric is out can really get you a lot of cards drawn.</li>
<li>2x <b>Silver Hand Knight</b> - One of the top cards in Hearthstone in my opinion. Such efficient cost and summons a pair of minions, which will often swing the tempo back into your favor.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Control</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2x <b>Holy Smite</b> - Cheap, early removal is important to fend of the common 3/2 minions that hit turn 1.</li>
<li>2x <b>Shadow Word: Pain</b> - Kills anything with 3 or less attack.</li>
<li>2x <b>Shadow Word: Death</b> - Kills anything with 5 or more attack.</li>
<li>1x <b>Shadow Madness</b> - Used to kill 2 of their creatures by stealing one to suicide into the other. Can really wreck someone's day.</li>
<li>2x <b>Holy Nova</b> - AoE spell that also heals. Works great when a cleric is out.</li>
<li>2x <b>Mind Control</b> - The most cried about card on the forums right now. The threat of even having one in your hand changes how your opponent plays against you. Often used late to steal an important taunter or a big fatty and crush the opponents last minute win or turtle attempt.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Buffs</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2x <b>Power Word: Shield</b> - I normally don't run buff cards, because they tend to lose you card advantage, but this one draws you a card so it replaces itself. When combined with your Priest hero ability to heal, it can really swing the tempo in your favor and allow for your minions to kill more than one enemy minion, while staying alive. A buffed 1/5 Cleric is a lot harder to deal with and a Lightspawn turns into a 7/7 with this buff. Got a 4/4 that needs to kill another 4/4? Buff yours to 4/6, ram it, then heal away, and draw a card if your Cleric is out. ;)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Cheaper Priest Deck With Basic Cards Only</h3>
<div>
If you don't have the expert cards required to complete this deck, then there are some very similar and efficient swaps that you can make for a Priest deck made with only the free to play basic cards. Here is a list of what to replace in this deck to run with all basics. This list also shows what to replace as you do start to get some of those other expert level cards. </div>
<div>
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div>
<i><b>Example</b>: If you get an Amani Berserker, swap it in for a River Crocolisk.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2 Amani Berserkers -> 2 River Crocolisks</li>
<li>1 Shadow Madness -> Add a 2nd Darkscale Healer</li>
<li>2 Lightspawn -> 2 Chillwind Yeti</li>
<li>2 Silver Hand Knight -> 2 Gnomish Inventor</li>
</ul>
<div>
You can play around with the Priest deck build and see if you like the Chillwind Yeti or the Lightspawn better in your deck. Both have their advantages and weaknesses. The Yeti can't be nerfed by a Silence, but the Lightspawn can be buffed to get even bigger, while both often trade for more than 1 creature.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Have fun with this great Hearthstone Priest Deck! I will see you at the top of the ranked ladder.<br />

Hearthstone Impressions & Thoughts</h2>
<br />
If I had one statement to describe Hearthstone I would say that it was made to be played on a tablet. Everything from the design choices with the size of elements on the screen to the cost structure is perfectly suited for a mobile game. If they don’t launch with an iPad version I think they are sorely mistaken in their strategy.<br />
<br />
Now that is out of the way I will take the liberty of being long winded. Before I get into my various thoughts I’ll preface with some information. I have had Hearthstone beta for almost a month. I spent time in ‘Play’ mode without having bought packs; I have completed around 7 Arenas, and then did buy ~$16 in packs. I haven’t played enough to get a single character into level 30+ but do think I have a solid basis for opinion without having drained myself of the gameplay before it even comes out. I will try to limit comparisons with tabletop card games to the areas of game flow and design while areas relevant to the format will mostly be compared to <a href="http://www.wizards.com/magic/digital/duelsoftheplaneswalkers.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014</a> which I believe is the closest ‘competitive match’ to Hearthstone.<br />
<br />
<b>First Experience:</b><br />
<br />
Immediately upon entering the game you are forced into the tutorial which uses the Mage class hero. I would have liked to be able to pick which class you start with as some people are very attached to their ‘favorite’ class. Tweaking the tutorial slightly to integrate different class cards would not have been difficult, but since the head start you get is small anyway this isn’t a big issue. The tutorial itself is adequate for teaching the basis of how the game progresses. After the initial matches further instruction takes the form of various voiced pop ups explaining game elements and directing you to what the game wants you to try next. Here I do wish that they did a better job at directing people through the ‘My Collection’ area where you build decks and create or disenchant cards (which is a system in which you destroy unwanted cards to get ‘dust’ used to create new ones).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Modes:</b><br />
<br />
You get three modes of play; Play, Practice, Arena. I suggest anyone start by reading something like <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/09/Hearthstone-Beta-Gold-Grinding.html" target="_blank">Cold’s Hearthstone Gold Grinding post</a> or you are going to start at a major disadvantage in certain modes. Practice will unlock all your heroes while introducing you to their powers and basic cards. My one wish here is that there was a ‘Master’ difficulty where the AI had great decks and made better decisions so you could use Practice mode to actually practice new deck ideas. Currently even on ‘Expert’ the AI is some of the worst I’ve seen. MTG:2014 I think gets the right balance here where some of their AI scenarios really keep you on your toes so moving between the games I can see the difference.<br />
<br />
Play is your basic player vs. player (PvP) mode where you take either the base decks or custom ones you’ve created from a selection of basic cards and ones you’ve unlocked and it randomly matches you against an opponent. You can play unranked or ranked but at the moment in beta there is really no reason at all to play ranked matches. All ‘rank’ does is count your wins (not losses) and give you a medal at a certain number of wins that doesn’t influence the game beyond matching. There are daily ‘quests’ which are little challenges to for example win 2 games as a certain class and these do not even require playing in ranked mode.<br />
<br />
Arena is a ‘draft’ style mode where you are given specific heroes to choose from and must construct a deck only out of randomly generated card choices that it provides you. Your first Arena entry is free and<br />
beyond that will cost you a little more than the price of a booster pack to join in either gold or cash. You play matches until you either win 9 times or lose 3 times and are given a reward based on how many wins you had including packs, gold, dust, and special ‘golden’ cards. This mode is a real treat as it best tests your ability to construct decks effectively and respond to uncommon card choices and combos. While not on par with real draft style formats in tabletop card games I will go out on a limb and say I enjoy it better than the sealed format of MTG:2014, mainly due to the range of available cards where you do not see the same things every match.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<br />
So is the card game actually fun to play? Let me explain how it is different from other games in good and bad ways. Your resource for casting cards is fixed. You do not waste room in your deck on resource cards eliminating the struggle MTG has of getting potentially too many or too little resources. In probably the largest move it has eliminated interaction totally. What I mean is there are no responses or playing of cards during your opponent’s turn. You do have ‘Secrets’ which play like Trap cards in Yi-Gi-Oh but you don’t choose the trigger it just triggers off the next action described on the card (such as when the opponent attacks). You basically just set back and watch what they do and try to think of how you’ll respond on your turn. As a plus you do not have structured ‘phases’ to your turn so you can attack or play cards in any order you like which is nice. It does take a strategic layer out of the gameplay I think though.<br />
<br />
All of the next paragraph is subject to change especially with the first balancing patch coming soon, but right now whichever player sets the tempo in I’d say the first 3 turns is usually going to win which has left a couple of classes that excel in board control, lead mainly by the Rogue, as the top dogs. Two drop minions define the game with powerhouses like <a href="http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/422-knife-juggler" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Knife Juggler</a>, <a href="http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/54-pint-sized-summoner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pint-Sized Summoner</a>, and <a href="http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/417-defias-ringleader" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Defias Ringleader</a>. There is also so much drawing power for some classes (example: <a href="http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/101-starving-buzzard" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Starving Buzzard</a>) compared to other card games that classes that lack it like the Warrior are often left at a card disadvantage. There are many cards that are under cost for what they do as well. This isn’t simply due to rarity either as many of the legendary cards (the top rarity) are fairly useless flavor cards.<br />
<br />
The elephant in the room is obviously whether the game is ‘play to win’ or not. They have given you a method of obtaining any card you want through the disenchant system but do not be fooled as it will take forever to assemble a range of fun decks to try like this. If you pour all of your resources into one class you can get a wide array to choose from fairly quickly but at the cost of gimping every other class for a very long time which not only isn’t very fun but will bite you with the hero class specific daily quests. I would not however call it completely pay to win as some classes perform nicely with few rare cards and there is Arena mode which if you are good enough can be completed on end with little to no cash investment. Paying the money out buys you mostly time and variety of play. This can be a problem itself though…<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Final Thoughts:</b><br />
<br />
The problem I am experiencing with Hearthstone and from listening many seem to be is that there isn’t enough to keep the average person signed into the game. Blizzard needs that casual person as they will be the ones periodically paying little micro transactions and if they aren’t logging in to the game they aren’t being tempted into paying. My first suggestion was achievements. I was very surprised that they did not have a loaded and fully functioning achievement system yet. They are easy to implement and they know<br />
from WoW and other games that people go crazy for completing as many achievements as possible. This is a perfect way to tease someone into the transactions. Example, you need to play in say 5 Arenas and just need one more and have no gold you are very likely to just pay $2 to get in instant gratification style. As I mentioned at the top getting this game onto tablets ASAP must be a priority as the stop and go simplicity and shorter matches are perfectly niche for that market.<br />
<br />
To keep someone that is into card games and to provide that extra something for others I hope that expansion sets bring varied gameplay mechanics and new modes would set it above the competition. People have mentioned easy tournament interfaces as a possibility for a new mode and I like this idea.<br />

Hearthstone Basic Mage Aggro Deck -<br />Basic Cards Only Mage Deck</h2>
Since I've been playing in the Hearthstone Beta since the release, I've been trying to share some of the tips and tricks I've learned for Hearthstone. I understand a lot of you do not have Hearthstone Beta keys yet and this information will be of good use to you once you get into the Hearthstone Beta or the game goes into Open-Beta (which may be sooner than we thought). <br />
<br />
In the first article I've written about <a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2013/09/Hearthstone-Beta-Gold-Grinding.html" target="_blank">Grinding For Gold & Boosters In Hearthstone</a>, I had mentioned:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If you want to <b>Grind Gold in Play Mode:</b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><br /></b>I recommend building a speed deck. Pick one of the faster decks that can bring out a quick force of minions and then support those minions with your own creature control, direct damage, and removal spells to clear the way for your minions to attack quickly. In my opinion the 3 fastest decks for this strategy are Mage, Rogue, & Hunter. All 3 have direct damage dealing Class Abilities and Class Spells that include plenty of creature control options. You should build a deck with small cheap creatures, lots of removal, and some direct damage spells.</blockquote>
<br />
In the comments of that post, I was asked "<i>what would you include in a speed deck for Mage, Rogue, & Hunter?</i>" I promised a few sample deck builds for Hearthstone beginner decks as examples of what I was recommending be used for grinding matches quickly. This post is the first of 3 example decks made completely from Basic Hearthstone Cards only. The Basic Cards are unlocked by leveling the decks, which you advance in experience regardless of win or loss record, so everyone has easy access to unlock these cards. The Mage deck is forced on you in the tutorial, so you will already have many of the Mage Basic Cards unlocked, which makes it the easiest transition from the tutorial to constructed play. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Basic Mage Deck Strategy</b></h3>
The goal with this Basic Cards Only Constructed Mage Deck is pure aggression. In the earlier article I recommended a quick deck that would turn over matches quickly, a deck that would either win or lose quickly. If you are grinding for gold, then you want quick matches to increase your games played per hour. Long lasting games that you lose are crippling to your gold per hour grinding earning potential, and long lasting games that you do win aren't worth the time required. You are better off getting more matches in. More matches means more chances to win.<br />

This deck thrives on efficient minions, direct damage, and removal spells. You goal is to kill the opponent as quickly as possible, mainly with your minions. You use the direct damage and removal spells to clear the way for your minions to keep attacking. Creatures with taunt should be your prime targets for removal spells. This deck is purely offensive, with removal to keep the offense pushing forward. Direct damage can be used to clear threats and taunters or be turned directly against the opponent to finish them off. The Mage's ability to shoot anything for 1 point of damage is very helpful in clearing threats, since the 1 point can be coupled with another spell that deals damage. The constant ability to do an additional point of damage per turn late game can also be all you need to finish off an opponent that barely survives your swarm.<br />

<br />
Make sure to use your <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=389" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elven Archers</a> intelligently. I've seen way too many players cast a first turn Elven Archer and shoot me for 1 damage. That's just horrible play. Hold onto your Elven Archer and cast him when you can use the 1 point of damage to kill another minion. That way you've not only added a threat onto the battlefield, but you've also removed one of your opponent's threats.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=445" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Reckless Rocketeer</a> is a great mid to late game finisher. The Reckless Rocketeer is also what I call a "tank buster". The Rocketeer can be summoned and then it's Charge ability allows you to ram a minion with taunt to clear the way for your other minions to continue with the beatdown. I love blasting <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=157" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lord of the Arena</a> and other big taunters with a Reckless Rocketeer to clear the way for my minions to keep up the full press.<br />
<br />
There is only a single <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=1004" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flamestrike</a> in this Mage Deck because you will usually have the match close to over by the time you could play it and you definately don't want to get stuck with two in your hand. I did include 1 because it can be such a game changer in the later-mid game and it will grant you victories. The primary goal is to never make it that late into the game, thus only 1 is needed.<br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em>
Getting down a few early creatures (<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=976" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Murloc Tidehunter</a> & <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=257" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Razorfen Hunter</a> are great for this) and then buffing them up with a <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/hearthstone/card=1401" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raid Leader </a>can be overwhelming for an opponent lacking speed or early creature removal.<br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em>
Remember, when you only have access to the Basic Cards, you aren't going to be as competitive until you can unlock some of the booster packs and get better cards. So get your grind on and get to earning gold and unlocking those Hearthstone booster packs.<br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em>
<em></em>Happy Hearthstone Grinding!<em></em><br />
