![]() ![]() ![]() Trump won the "most educational" category in the Blizzard 2013 Stream Awards with a whopping 43 per cent of the vote. People watch his stream to learn how to get better at the game, and often donate money to the cause. ![]() His daily Hearthstone streams regularly attract audiences of over 20,000 people. He became the first professional Hearthstone player when gamer gear maker Razer sponsored him. Jeffrey "Trump" Shih is the world's most famous Hearthstone player. Then, on match four, I came up against another Paladin, and his name was Trump. My best record in the Arena is 12-1 - the maximum number of games you can win in a single run is 12 - and I thought I had a decent chance of getting close to that. That last one there, that's a big deal.Īnd so, confident of a few wins, I started playing, and soon enough I had three without loss. It included one Truesilver Champion, what many consider to be the best weapon in the game, three Consecrations, what some consider to be the best area of effect spell in the game, Avenging Wrath, which spits out eight points of damage to random targets, two Guardian of Kings, which heal the hero for six health points, and one Tirion Fordring, the Paladin legendary card. Last night, I ended up with a deck that was wonderful. Usually I end up with a deck neither terrible or great. I try my best to pick cards that combo with other cards, to maintain a mana curve and make sure I have plenty of late game big hitters. Usually I'm never happy with my Arena drafts. Last night I started a new Arena run and drafted a Paladin deck, mainly because I have a quest to win a few games with the Paladin, but also because the Paladin is strong in the Arena. You don't know if the Mage you're fighting will use Flamestrike on turn seven, because the Mage may not even have Flamestrike in their deck. There is a skill to their construction, because you have to pick one from three random cards until you have 30. You see the same decks over and over again, the same cadence to play, the same meta-game. The "constructed" portion of Blizzard's wonderful card game has gone a little stale. Last night I beat Trump in a game of Hearthstone, and my hands are still shaking.įor me, the Arena is Hearthstone's best mode. ![]()
