Current Events > Is Hearthstone worth getting into as a newbie still or will I be too far behind?

(+) Yeah! (+)

80/80

I played it a tiny amount when it came out and I enjoyed it, but I never really stuck with it. If I got back into it I wouldn't mind throwing a few bucks towards packs and stuff, but I'm wondering how bad off I am playing online with being so far behind on packs and whatnot. Also, any tips for a beginner?

I tried getting into it a few years ago and was totally overwhelmed by all the kickass cards everyone else had while I was still trying to build up my own collection. That was like 3-4 years ago i think. I gave up after awhile.

Granted, I didn't want to spend any money at all on it, so maybe actually spending money will help.

I've played since the beta, and I feel like if I had started later I would have fallen behind.

Currently there is a legendary you can craft called Whizbang, which is a one card deck that gives you a random one of the deck recipes every time you play, so it does let you play a lot of decks for only one card, and with each expansion the decks he chooses from changes. That being said, if you like a specific deck you just have to hope you roll it, and the power level of the decks vary a lot.

This is a good time to get into Magic Arena if you've ever been interested in trying Magic instead.

do you have $300 to spend to catch up and then another $300 every year to stay caught up
