Sometimes the key to victory is as simple as taking a step back and reevaluating your approach. In this week’s Well Played we look at how adding one or two tech cards to your deck—in this case, Quest Rogue—could be the perfect answer to a losing ladder run or a seemingly unconquerable class counter.
Next time you find yourself questioning your card choices, hopefully you’ll consider the addition of some synergistic tech to compliment your deck.
Rastakhan’s Rumble is almost upon us, and it’s time for YOU to be a part of the action – and earn a card pack when you show your support!
Showing your team spirit is quick and easy, and there’s no war paint or tusk-polishing involved.

Read moreAggressive, or “aggro”, decks are the easiest to play in Hearthstone, right? Not necessarily. While the general plan of an aggro deck is clear—get your opponent dead as quickly as possible—in execution it is more complex... especially when you are facing off against another aggro deck. Watch the first video in our three-part Well Played: Aggro Mirror series to learn how to navigate this tricky situation.
That’s it for this week! Tune in next Wednesday (and the next!) for the second and third parts of our Aggro Mirror deep-dive.
