Hearthstone is so fucking fun.

This is the first card game I've ever played. I got into from watching totalbiscuit's series lord of the arena on YouTube and I recommend it to any who wants to get into the game.
I like this game because games last 5-30mins usually around 15 and you can quit a game at anytime if you have other business to attend to. It's f2p but doesn't feel p2w at all. I've got a large collection of good cards and I've only bought 3 arena runs. I love the randomness and strategies involved and some of the complexity of some turns that will win or lose the game for you. I find unlocking and collecting cards very satisfying. Before this game I mostly only played fps and RPG games.
I've been lucky and have 4 legendaries Gruul Leeroy jenkins Harrison jones Lorewalk cho not really a good card but could be fun.
Anyways share your experiences with the game.

I played a ton during the beta... got most of the cards.. played a ton of arena.. best arena run I went 12-0 with a shaman (my FIRST time playing a shaman too ) mainly because I got FOUR fire elementals (OP as fuck in arena) 2 bloodlusts and a few other things.
Since the game was officially released I haven't found much time to play it, but I still find it very fun for all the reasons you mentioned.
What's funny is many nights I usually end up watching Hearthstone streamers on twitch (kripp, massanSC, trump mainly) , while I play other games I dunno what it is. But I seem to enjoy watching other people play it more than I like playing it myself. I learned to play well mainly just from watching streamers.. but then I stopped playing as much and just watching them every night.
It's a really well done game though. Very easy to get into, and not P2W like you said. Well sure.. some 12 yr old could get daddy's credit card and buy a shitload of decks and get all the cards.. but even with all the cards, that doesn't mean you auto win every game. Deck building in itself is an art form.
I love the fact that even with an OP "flavor of the month" or meta class or deck, no matter HOW good your deck is, or how OP your class currently is... you always have a counter deck/class. Even if you are the best player in the world, with the best deck possible, and play every game PERFECTLY.. you will still lose some games just due to the random luck factors, as well as your draws... and your opponent's draws.
I HATE it when I think I have the most amazing dream hand possible, I play my creatures perfectly, but then the opponent draws all the perfect answers to destroy my board presence. But then again, that's also what makes the game so exciting.. you never know how a game is going to go. I LOVE it when the opposite happens but in my favor. When you topdeck the perfect answer to your opponent's play, such a great feeling.
I love the super complex crazy plays and combos you can do
I also learned to NEVER just give up. Even if you are down to 2 HP with nothing on the board.. the opponent has 30 HP and 2 minions on the board with 5 attack each... never give up... that next draw could completely turn the game around in your favor and lead to victory... I have seen so many games completely turn around when you think there is no hope left, in my own games and in every streamer's games. Of course there are some of those situations where its clearly 100% impossible to win and you just concede, but I've learned to never just give up if it seems to be going way downhill, it's not over until you have 0HP.
Very exciting and interesting game. But like I said I get more enjoyment out of it currently just watching streamers play 
I need a Leeroy Jenkins.. he's currently one of the top legendaries that I see in a ton of constructed decks. I'd probably have it if I actually played lol.

Yeah I agree with that. I've had some amazing combos that won me the game when it looked like I was done for.
I watch trump's YouTube channel a lot. I'm so used to it being edited down into nothing but action I might have a hard time getting used to the stream

He's a great player though, probably one of the best in the world. I don't know why I don't see him in all the tournaments. Ek0p is also probably one of the best players... but that guy is an annoying egotistical dickhead.. I can't stand his personality. Krip, Trump, Amaz and Artosis are probably my favorites. They are all super amazing players and really chill and HUMBLE about it.

Game is fun, although sometimes I get mad at it and bitch about how it's pay to win because I'm bad at the game and need to git gud.
I haven't played much in the past few weeks, I was playing Malygod slightly before/just as it was getting popular, then stopped when everyone started playing decks to counter me.
I just think it's hilarious playing a deck where you do like 25 damage in a single turn. Huehuehuehue.

I was mainly playing control warlock during beta. But then I did aggro zoo/murloc warlock deck for a while and that won me a ton of games... got to Rank 1 with it in ranked, but I felt dirty playing it.
Last few times I've played I've been playing Miracle Rogue (with Malygos...need a Leeroy bad.. ). Really fun to play when you get a good hand. It's hilarious busting out an auctioneer, concealing him, and then next turn drawing card after card after card after card casting spells. Sometimes the deck sucks ass when you get a bad hand... but it's godly when you have a good hand.
This demonstrates pretty good what it's capable of:

Yeah this is definitely on my to-play list when I feel like playing Hearthstone again, my only two legendaries are Leeroy (found) and Malygos (crafted), so miracle rogue is a good option for me at the moment.
Leeroy + double preparation + cold blood + cold blood + shadowstep + leeroy + shadowstep +leeroy is fucking op. And you can still do a lot of damage with just shadowsteps even if you don't have the cold bloods.

Never played that. Honestly I thought collectible card games were boring and never saw the point till I played hearthstone. I think it helps that it's digital. Every card has it's on unique sound or saying if it's a minion. Minions make a sound or say something when you play then, when you attack with them, and when they die. It adds a nice atmosphere to the game. There are also a lot of cool looking animations. The mechanics are solid. It's also free to play. I haven't bought any card packs with cash and I've got a nice collection going.

I played for a few weeks as a hunter, it's a fun game but I got kinda burnt out on it.
Plus a few of my friends have pulled me back into yugioh...

I was referring to the card game that's in final fantasy 9 called Tetra Master. I might check this out sometime.

Never played it either. If you liked playing Magic, you'll probably like Hearthstone. A lot of the top Hearthstone players right now were former Magic players.
Even if you've never gotten into card games, Hearthstone is extremely easy to get into and it's quite fun. Very well done game.

Colton #1192! Please add me!!!!!!!! I'm like rank 11 or so on Ladder so I'm super mediocre. I think mostly because I have good decks lolz. I have HORRIBLE decision making though.
