Wait, Everyone Can’t be Legendary?

know you’ve seen it. Guide for guaranteed legendary! It’s SO easy! Just follow these 3 simple steps!! I also know that it doesn’t work for most people. Most people who try to get to Legend never make it.

Real talk. Good stuff.

Thanks! I felt there were plenty of beginner guides and plenty of guides to push rank 1-3 to Legend, and not enough for players that mastered the basics. Glad you enjoyed.

Great article! Created this account just to say that.

Great article. #s 1 and 3 really were big for me, in terms of my growth as a player.

It started as simple as “I want cardbacks!” Naturally, the evolution of that goal was about an hour of Zoo to get me to 20. Then it was, I really enjoy HandLock, but the intricacies were still vague to me. So I said, “Ok, Win or Lose, I just want to play HandLock until I hit 18.” I learned so much about how to play the deck, what it was good against, what it was crap against, how to mulligan properly for each class and likely matchup, which is an invaluable and difficult lesson to learn for each deck.

And in regards to #3, the decks I had mastered were almost all control (PyroPally, Ramp Druid, Control Warrior), and almost all slow, which made even things like grinding to 20 at the start of a new season tedious. I know by turn 4 whether I’m going to win or lose with Zoo or Murlocks (God help me, I love Murlocks =/), and so games take 5-10 minutes. But a Control Paladin game was going to at least 8 Mana Crystals (unless it was a real stomp, and even those were rare), which meant every game was between 15-20 minutes, win or lose. But knowing all those different decks gave me a flexibility to keep advancing. I began realizing ephemeral stuff like, “I’m rank 15, it’s 2am on the East Coast of the US. I’m running into a lot of Priests. I should swap in an extra silence and a 4 attack taunt, in case they try to go off on me with a Berserker, Oasis Snapjaw or a Lightspawn,” or even, like you said, realizing that if I had passed a certain threshold, within a rank or two, I was going to be running into decks that were direct counters to mine, so time to change decks.

Anyways, sorry for the ramble Great article, and I look forward to reading more great stuff from you!

Very good article, the bit about anxiety rang true for me. I am a casual Hearthstone player so if I get on a 3 to 4 game win streak the fear of losing the next game and falling into a losing streak has probably caused me to make silly mistakes. So going to relax and not worry about losing, and if I lose loads there is always tomorrow.

Very insightful! Thank you good sir for the share!

I’m a filthy casual trying to reverse my ways. This has put me on the right path!
