[Hearthstone] WOOOOW, Golden Legendary!

Never thought I could climb to Diamond 1 so quickly in a competitive game - it only took one afternoon and one evening, I think? And once I stopped, it was three years later.

I happened to see Hearthstone's return event in short videos, and the 2000+ cards made it hard not to log in and claim this benefit.

But I didn't expect that in the new environment, my old deck could no longer compete on the battlefield. Compared to the official loaner decks, my old cards felt like they'd been hit with "Polymorph" - everything felt underpowered. Couldn't beat Mages, Priests summoned faster than me, missing several core cards, and reading new mechanic cards after not playing for so long made my head spin.

I had to join the team using official loaner decks to occasionally win a game or two. After two days of intense card playing, I closed my eyes and saw golden legendaries everywhere, but my body told me if I didn't rest soon, my Deathrattle would trigger. I had to drag my exhausted body to sleep at midnight. Fortunately, after sleeping for one turn, I could Charge directly into the tavern at 6 AM.

Just like that, I spent two days of my National Day holiday. Compared to reading all-English technical documentation, Hearthstone card text is a bit easier to read - though only in terms of recognizing the words. My opponents' various combos left me overwhelmed.

It's only Bronze rank! Is it really necessary to end the battle before turn 5...

The more setbacks, the braver! That's what I thought.

The result was I played until I felt sick. Unfamiliarity with cards also led to several games where I could have won, but calculating buff stacking damage values made my brain feel overloaded. Damn, does my brain only have 3 mana crystals?

Stay away from Handbuff Paladin! The Holy Light will pollute your brain!

I need to take a break...
