Sorry about this I just need to rant. It seriously bothers me that people go on about how HS is charging you for card packs.

They aren’t forcing you to buy them for real money, you can play this game without spending any amount of real money, like my friend has been doing. The only thing he’s actually bought is LOE when it was released and he still has tonnes of good cards and relatively solid decks.

The game is not pay to win. A good deck won’t gaurentee you a win, rather it will increase your odds of winning. But, if you don’t know how to properly use that deck or you don’t know how to make appropriate plays then of course you’re not going to win

Yes, the game charges you money to buy packs, you know who else does that? EVERY OTHER CARD GAME! In fact, hearthstone is arguably more generous than stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh! When did Yu-Gi-Oh! Ever just be like “oh you were present at the time this set was released? Here have a really rare/expensive card”
While I do have my gripes with hearthstone, such as cards being expensive in terms of dust comared to the amount you get from disenchanting. I understand why they exist. Hearthstone is a card game and no card game is ever 100% free to play so please, for sods sake understand that.
