Hi everybody, I’m pretty new to this game, I’ve been playing for the past couple months and just doing dailies/weeklies so I can buy the adventure modes, but I downloaded the free frozen throne campaign and won some card packs from that which was pretty cool.
But the problem is that because I’m not Bronze rank yet I can’t open or even look at the cards that I won! I’m trying really hard to progress through the apprentice ranks but it’s taking forever. Since there’s 50 ranks and you need to win three times each that means you need to win around 150 games to get to Bronze! Not just play 150 games, actually win them.
Now I’m not terrible, I win probably as many games as I lose but even after months of doing dailies I’m still at rank 21 apprentice or something like that. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?
I think you can still make decks with the cards you got though. But if they are from Frozen Throne they are not allowed in Standard mode. To use them you need to switch to wild mode.
Seems strange that it should take so long. When I started it was before the current system with so many apprentice ranks. I remember it was very quick to get to “normal ranked” (now called Bronze). I think it was only 1 day from what I remember.
Players still in apprentice ranks don’t have access to wild. They have to advance out of apprentice ranks first.
It does seem like you might be doing something wrong, but it’s really hard to say what. What kinds of decks are you playing? Winning more than 2 games in a row also gives extra stars, so you can advance more quickly (this is the case in higher ranks, and I think this is the case in apprentice).
Yes I noticed the extra stars after I had a particularly good run of something like six wins in a row, but even then I think the stars topped out at two per win? (Not one hundred percent sure about these numbers since I wasn’t really tracking it.) Which means that it’d still take me thirty more wins to get to Bronze and I just don’t play that much multiplayer since I’d rather play the solo adventure stuff.
It doesn’t bother me that much to be in the apprentice leagues for a long time, I just kind of wish that I could build a deck with wild cards. Oh well.
If you’re winning as much as you’re losing, that means you’re playing well.
You can always try to improve your decks but that’s not so easy as a beginner player.
The good thing about apprentice ranks is that you can never lose stars so if you play enough games, you will be able to graduate.

i was wondering, how many starts do i get after i gradute from apprenticeship ? (do i get 9 stars at bronze 10 )
You get one bonus star when you get out of apprentice.
Yes apprentice rank 20 on my second account. Wait… what’s that… YOU CAN SKIP IT! ?
seriously almost broke my keyboard…again, when I saw it
Be happy, I got out of apprentice and now the only one I can beat is one of Blizzard’s bot accounts, and I can only beat them about half the time. Any regular human player beats me by turn 8 at best. I play to kill time and for no other purpose at this point. This is a game for people that want to spend money.
