Posts not related to magic belong in the Blind Eternities forum, Please read forum descriptions before posting. Also Magic is far better than hearthstone.

I think HearthStone is a great game. Honest, MTGO should be ashamed at how poorly they're doing in comparison.
Personally, my favorite class is the Mage. My first booster pack I opened some Crazy legendary mage that makes Fireballs whenever you cast spells. He's still my only legendary and as a result my Mage deck is head and shoulders above the other decks I have.

Hearthstone is kind of bad because the classes are poorly balanced and variety in the game is small.

I agree with Chief. In addition, if you thought legacy names were bad (Omni-Tell, Maverick, Solidarity), wait until you see some of the confusing things that people name Hearthstone decks.

Right now the big leg up magic has over hearthstone is the diversity in the card pool. Magic has cards from 20 years of sets, while hearthstone has cards from like 2. I think the game is fun, but it could absolutely use some balance work, and once more new cards are added it could be an excellent game.

Magic will always be better, and that's from an objective standpoint

Not saying I don't really enjoy Hearthstone, but in Magic there's more things they can do and it has a bigger more dedicated fan base, and a development team that cares a lot more. Blizzard is just taking Wizards ideas and turning them into their own.

That's not an objective standpoint at all.vishnarg
Anyways, hearthstone is young so the cards will lack in depth compared magic but the game still attacks a lot of people due to take mobile game and online actually working as compared to mtgo.
Also this thread was meant for actually talking about the game and decks they play so I'm sure OP really appreciates this.
DerpyEfalant I play freeze Mage and some Aggro hunter deck I'm not sure has a name. What about you?

Sorry, this was meant to troll. But was my better alternative to MTGO, plus it ended up having different strategies. This is definitely a hiatus to Paper Magic. (Even if Magic is far more better. -_-)

It's not a bad game. It's just not as good as magic. Also blizzard are just poor at balance right now.

The #1 reason I play Hearthstone in addition to Magic is because I can get a game started up literally whenever I want. It's entertaining, easy to play, and fast paced. It's also not to hard to build several worthwhile decks while going entirely free-to-play. Most of my Magic-playing friends also play Hearthstone, and it's been a great way to chill out and play some games with each other when we're online.
Flamewaker has been my new favorite card since BRM came out. I honestly feel bad for my opponent whenever I play it. Flamewaker -> Coin -> Arcane Missiles is an amazing early game board wipe.

Hahaha what a pleb, playing aggro mage and not freeze mage. That's adorable.

I've got a mech mage deck that's really fun to play and I really enjoy how fast paced the game goes once you know what you're doing. I also really like that it's on MACS, ANDROID, and PHONES. HINT HINT WIZARDS.
But seriously I think my favorite thing about it compared to magic is the interface. Like seriously, that "Ok" button that you use like 500 times a match to pass priority is TINY in Mtgo. Seriously the first thing I would change. Think about it, why make what is probably the most important button in the game and make it about 1/1000 the size of the playing field? Playing Hearthstone, I see so much of what Magic could be. The game is better than most MTG competitors, but it's not MTG. It's the interface and the availability that makes it stand out.

@vishnarg: I also play mech warrior, spellpower druid, and control hunter. Basically, I play Hearthstone like I play Magic: like some kind of damn weirdo. =P

@Rhadamanthus&Other I play Warlock Merluc. Best aggro deck ever. Just don't play mage, and everything is going to be fine.
