Hello all. I want to say that you should buy packs if you enjoy -
-Playing hearthstone matches frequently
- and enjoy different types of fighting styles.
The thing is - you should buy packs to get cards to build a bunch of different kind of decks that are fun and have unique ways to play and win.
You probably shouldn’t worry about winning or trying to hit legend, that is a lot of anxiety stress and problems.
You can try to grind to legend, but i think buying cards to play fun decks is more important than buying cards to win and hit legend.
You don’t need a lot of legendaries or important cards to make a fun deck, but it helps to have a few key component cards.
i think a reasonable goal is to hit gold rank every season while having fun. That is not a very high rank, and you get dust from your rank chest.
If you don’t have fun playing hearthstone matches and don’t have fun playing fun decks, then you will not last very long playing hearthstone.
So what is a fun deck ? well for me, i like decks with either “a win condition” or a “combo condition” or “a flavored specialization”.
Right now i am free to play and i made a few decks. They are not very good and under 50% win rate, but they are fun.
I think the dragon combo pack is totally worth it. 45 packs for 30$ is a great deal compared to 50$ for 40 packs from 1 expansion.
Any ways, yes you want to build your collection so you can build fun distinctive decks with interesting fighting styles NOT so you can have a high win rate or try to hit legend.
It’s all about having fun, never forget that. Never stress out about winning or ranking up. I certainly have fun with flavored decks but it has taken me awhile to realize that.
Even better, you can put on your favorite streamer and play hearthstone while watching them.
So i hope this helps people. You shouldn’t buy cards for power and winning, but for options and deck creativity. That will make hearthstone / hearthstone matches feel less like work and more like fun.
Goodluck.
