Now I'm not doing arenas anymore, rather playing shaman-only and climbin the ranks I'l rank 11, and I feel I'm constantly improving. The strategy can go far deeper than what you think, memories and amoffett

I'm not dismissing the game, or trying to say it's easy or anything like that.

But in Hearthstone there's just under 400 different cards, to be used in 9 different classes. There's only so many decks you can build. When you get better cards, you replace the bad cards with the better cards. When you're playing a game, you have a good idea what cards your opponent has, what you can expect to draw.

Compare that with MTG, where there are over 10000 cards, and seemingly limitless strategies, and it's not even close. There's also so much more going on in a game of MTG, turn-by-turn.

This is my problem with Hearthstone: it's not MTG. That's what I'm used to, and so playing something that's close, but is essentially watered down and simplified to make it easier for people to pick up, just makes me want to play MTG instead.
