How to train your SquishieDragon
Intro:
Welcome to the Legend of the Innkeeper. We’re glad you could join us for our 77th episode.
This week we are talking about… Squishie’s interest in the game.
Updates:
What did you do this week?
Top 3 of the week
Vastidious – Booty Bay Bodyguard – You can hire him… until someone offers him enough gold to turn on you.
SquishieDragon – Ironforge Rifleman – “Ready! Aim! Drink!”
Espo – Elven Archer “Don’t bother asking her on a date. She’ll shoot you down.”

Captain Blackheart’s Treasure ~ The captain left treasure for Everyone, but mostly for you! Each turn, open a chest of three random cards and choose one to put in your hand.
You start with a deck of 30 pirates that are 2/3.
You don’t draw a card from your deck at the beginning of your turn, instead you choose.
The cards that you’re choosing from are from the entire collection, not just one’s you’ve collected.
Reveal is a fun, yet disappointing, mechanic for this brawl.
Fel Reaver is amazing in this!
Getting Better
New player woes and feeling overwhelmed. Easy ways to grow your collection.
* Quests! On average, you should be gaining 50 gold a day from playing and that’s even if you don’t play each day! Almost never complete the 40 gold quests, reroll them until you get a 50 or higher. If you don’t, leave it until you have only three 40 gold quests and must complete one in order to gain a new one. Always do the 7 wins and Watch and Learn quests with friends. These are worth 100 gold and are extremely easy to complete.
* Tavern Brawl! You may have to involve a friend or the internet’s advice, but try your best to complete this for the free pack.
* Save your gold for Adventures! They may seem like a long ways off, but the fun and cards that you get will far outweigh the wait. And the encounters and bosses can easily be beat with just basic cards. Do a simple Google search for the encounters you are wanting to beat and you’ll find a basic deck build for defeating that boss or encounter.
* Dust golden cards! Craft all the common cards first. Most of these can be used in some way, either for fun or profit, or both! Again, Google is your friend. Research some of the most popular common cards that are used in viable quest completing decks.

They care about casual- and that’s good ***** 5 stars
Love the show! Been listening since I started playing Hearthstone and I always learn something new. Great move with adding new host SquishieDragon, who has just started playing. The problems she faces reminds me of when I started, just hoping I could get past level 20 and trying to build a decent deck with basics and a few other cards. Can’t wait to hear more!

Great show, great hosts, great FUN! – 5 stars
I have been a listener for about 6 months now. I have listened back through episode 60 (through today), and cannot get enough of the show. I think you guys are great hosts, and fun people. Thank you for not talking down to new players; I love to recommend the show. I have been playing CCG’s for over 20 years (when MTG came out), and Hearthstone has me hooked! Even though I am not new to the CCG genre, I enjoy your show that caters to new players. I like to play for FUN, more than I like to play competitively, which is what your show is about!!
