Everything you need to know about my relationship with Haven:



I haven't played a single game with this faction since the expansion was released, not counting the "take to" matches. But when I encountered Haven players, they looked quite decent (although I mostly played on the Portal, which is also not the strongest faction).
The Sword is good, yes. I crafted two Mars and don't regret it; it's a great card. The only problem is with card draw; if the game goes into the late game, you need to add some Arthurs or something else.
And in general, I'm currently running a neutral deck. I initially made Sah for the Dragon, but it turns out I use it more in the forest. It's a fun deck, but it depends a lot on the draw.

Also, today I met a Russian nickname in the Ranked mode for the first time, and it was quite... original.

Yes, indeed.

Something feels off today; I think Havencraft is R.I.P.

Nah, not really... My Haven deck is still performing well, not worse than Dragon, and it hasn't become weaker with the nerfs. Although, I'm not playing with the Summit build; maybe that build isn't as good right now. And you shouldn't underestimate Snow Queen; it's the best Haven has for the early game, and I didn't hesitate to craft it.

In this regard, something like the Queen seems more dangerous – this kind of mechanic has the potential to be easily exploited. A new card comes out, they don't keep an eye on it, and that's it.

I disagree; the Queen itself isn't that easy to use. You need 10 power points, two other cards, a neutral and a class card, plus you have to discard cards... You play it at best once per match, and even then, it doesn't always guarantee a win. But yes, it's a great card and can definitely win battles.

Regarding Sword, yesterday I tested a hybrid of aggro and neutral cards, and it's working very well. It easily defeats slow decks, and with Maisy, it can even compete with Daria. A regular mid-range deck is also good; Mars carries it. I haven't tried it with Arthur; maybe it would be even better, but in principle, you can manage without him.

Yeah, before, the dragon didn't really stand a chance against a Haven deck that wasn't bricked, except for the Arriet combo on turns 12-16, which you had to collect in your hand, and even then, the deck with it wasn't that great. Now, at least you can win with a mill deck. And before the Darredebils, Haven had a top 1 or 2 win rate according to Japanese stats.

Well, and I still haven't crafted Snow White, I don't understand the point of this card.

Try starting with Summit, Snow White, and Turtle. Although Haven enthusiasts have always prayed for it, I only understand and "respect" such value.

Also, today I met a Russian nickname in Ranked for the first time, and it was so... uh... original.

TOXIC? (NEIRA)

I made quite a comeback in Heroes...

Try starting with the Summit-Snow White-Turtle combination. Although Haven enthusiasts have always revered it, I personally only understand and "appreciate" such builds.

I don't know. I've never seen this Snow White bring any benefit to the opponent, and spending a lot of vials for an uncertain result... But I'll think about it.

I have two Arthurs in my deck (they dropped randomly), but I don't remember ever using them, lol.

It was amusing when a player used some kind of hybrid mid-range and neutral melee deck against me: he plays a round table, summons Cinderella first, then a Tempest Lancer, and Cinderella flies back into his hand. P - sequence.

Why even keep Cinderella in a non-neutral artifact?
Although, I remember once encountering her in the arena, and I even intentionally moved her into my hand a couple of times, although I did misplay her once.

I once assigned her to a frontline guard general, and she fled after his death, during the enemy's turn.

I broke the ladder, guys. I won 10 times in a row with my aggro Arthur-sword build. (Well, not exactly mine, I borrowed it from a Japanese player with the nickname Agni).

Meanwhile, in Star Trek, I met an old acquaintance.

For the first time in all my Heroes of Might and Magic playtime, I finally decided to try the Japanese voice acting, and I've been playing with it for the past three days. My initial impressions are that the voice acting for many of the bronze and silver units seems bland and monotonous compared to the English version, but many of the gold and legendary units sound brighter and more interesting. And yes, as much as I love the English voice acting for Ceres, I have to agree that the Japanese version suits the character better.
But what I can say for sure is that in the Dashko meta, you should definitely try the Japanese voice acting, if only to hear how the clay golems scream.

Meanwhile, I met an old acquaintance in Star Trek.

Is Erasmus being treated for cancer?

In Dashko's meta, you should definitely enable the Japanese voice acting just to hear how the clay golems scream lol.

But Dashko’s English voice acting “slightly” annoys me, while I like the Japanese one. I played quite a bit with both last year.
Before Chronogenesis and at its release, I played for some time only with voices enabled. However, a couple of weeks after the chrono release, I turned off the sound completely. Because when the meta is terrible, the voices of annoying cards can sometimes be really irritating. Now the meta is much better than it was in January, but still, it feels calmer to play without sound, just listening to some streamer or podcast, or even in silence. When a new pack comes out, I will turn it back on.
I also disabled legendary animations, by the way, about a month ago, when playing with dragons, and it annoyed me to spend several seconds watching the animation of half the cards in my deck, lol.



Decided to play for the first time in a month outside of dailies and collected a good haul. Hey, offenders, where are you? It's a pity that one victory wasn't enough for a 100% win rate. Fortunately, lately, portal dailies have been dropping often too, so I still play ranked a little bit.
Farmed about ten chests in a few days, and apart from the initial two with the сливсоэмблема emblem, they were all basic ones, worth 30 rupees, except for the last one, which was worth 50. Hearthstone players, explain yourselves! You probably wouldn’t even dare to dream of something like this. How can I do the daily quest again every three days? Wow! My heart is pounding with such generosity.

And just some minor humiliation of the offenders (no one will watch).
For some reason, everyone gives up quickly these days, and also leaves during the timer; does the chest system demoralize them so much? I saw complaints about it on the internet, but I don't understand the point - after all, you get the chest if you lose, why be upset? On the contrary, everything has been adapted for casual players.

Alright, Arisa with -16 HP clearly didn’t surrender on her own.
