#

fuck flurry man

#

that card is so fucking stupid

#

personal problem card for me

signal edge
#

Flurry was fine when freeze cards were scarce

shell thunder
#

nah man i hated it even back in stormwind

#

esp with shit like shivara, dawngrasp

signal edge
#

I mean I will never truly like freeze

#

But stormwind I could compromise

#

Now it's

#

Flurry into repeated blizzards

#

Into location

shell thunder
#

amplified, location, blizzard, flurry

#

yeah its dreadful

signal edge
#

Amplified is alright tho

shell thunder
#

its just redundancy

signal edge
#

And solid alibi on top just adds to the annoyance

shell thunder
#

almost forgot about that fun card for a second

signal edge
#

I don't think alibi is problematic by itself but when you add it with all the available freeze

#

It gets annoying

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

i mean im just not impressed with the last few balance patches

#

all the ones through stormwind felt pretty spot on

#

up until like, sunken city miniset

#

and probably the kazakusan meta quest rogue "nerf"

signal edge
#

I disliked the last 2 balance patches

shell thunder
#

yeah same

signal edge
#

Was pretty fine with the rest

shell thunder
#

this one is the deal breaker for me

signal edge
#

Deal breaker until next expansion that is

shell thunder
#

not like it costs me anything

#

wow gold = packs

signal edge
#

But yeah I have faith the new balance guys come around

#

Rn I'll just shrug it off as inexperience from their part

vague moss
#

i hope they can give more buff to paladin

#

just like i am still using mechanic paladin to win the game

signal edge
#

Because when gallon came to balance his initial patches were meh as well

vague moss
#

and the light force and dirty hand? plays shit

signal edge
#

Eventually the devs got to balance really well

#

Pure paladin needs actual cards

#

Not a value generator

#

Dude paladin needs more dude cards

#

Current dude cards are pretty good

#

Just not enough

vague moss
#

at least it has a good performance in Wild

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Yes it performs well in wild because it has enough cards

vague moss
#

i am a HS noob so i can't give more idea about i still stuck in bronze but i am quite like to play slow deck

shell thunder
#

control shaman was fun Sadge

signal edge
#

Yeah they kinda deleted one of the most interesting decks in the game

#

All because some droolers refused to play around it and just swarmed a full board and got punished for it

shell thunder
#

i mean hunter was fun

#

loved me some wild seeds

#

but nah man

#

gotta nerf it

signal edge
#

I think they will hit theotar as well

vague moss
#

for me theotar just a little bit

#

unhappy to meet

shell thunder
#

this is still my guess

signal edge
#

I haven't check stats on him

shell thunder
#

based on whats popular

#

and "feels based nerfs"

#

i see these

#

probably kael too

signal edge
#

But I think theotar is a powerful disruption tool

#

That can be played on curve with very little consequence

#

Compare that to mutanus

#

Dropping him turn 7 can be a really risky turn

vague moss
#

cn ppl thought i might be change to steal a random card

#

instead of choosing by urself

signal edge
shell thunder
#

thats what u think

#

reddit thinks kael is broken with all the mage shit too

#

mord, kt

signal edge
#

I'll just consult kibler on nerfs

#

He was a card game developer afterall

#

"oh yeah let's nerf wildpaw gnoll"

shell thunder
#

oh yeah dude

#

fucking gnoll

#

gnoll is gonna get nerfed too

#

i saw some ppl in the vs discorsd saying that card was toxic

#

its doomed man

#

every playable card is toxic

#

needs to get nerfed

signal edge
#

Let's go back to the wet noodle meta of sunken city

vague moss
#

disapawnted the only thing i do is to wait the new buff come

#

they said its going to release today

#

but it hasn't

signal edge
#

They locked in balance changes yesterday I think

#

Isn't patch on Tuesday?

shell thunder
vague moss
#

idk

#

i can't see any post about it so

signal edge
#

It was a tweet

vague moss
#

oh

#

no blue post?

signal edge
vague moss
#

oh i see

#

pls give the new skin of paladin

signal edge
#

They got one

vague moss
#

yea waiting for their sold

#

the priest one looks like a streamer in CN

#

most ppl like him

signal edge
#

Do you mean mage?

#

Mage got kaelthas

vague moss
#

nah this one

#

looks like a man streamer

#

omegalul her face

signal edge
#

I'll keep using kyrian tyrande

vague moss
#

l am waiting for the Zerilla

#

NotBedTimeYetMUM when will it sell again

#

my favourite skin is the Dark Zerilla and the Cat Illidan

signal edge
#

Probably not soon

undone furnace
#

As long as fucking mage gets nerfed idc

#

Mage has prolly one of the worst decks to play against EVER

#

Perma fucking frozen

vague moss
#

kekdog i play quest priest

#

its fun to against with mage

#

she just looking me finish my quest and healing myself

undone furnace
#

I mean u just lose to mage tho as quest priest more often than not cuz of their hero power scaling

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Secret mage 🤨

#

Oh that's just secret cards

undone furnace
#

I am so tired of mage

#

Please nerf that deck into the ground thank you.

vague moss
#

plz come new buffpeepofadesnap

quaint aspen

13hours!

#

@shell thunder dude watching reqvam rage while playing boar priest is hilarious

shell thunder
#

It's so good dude

signal edge
#

"why would I play this deck and rely to draw when I can drool on the keyboard and win like my opponents?"

thick crater
shell thunder
#

Warrior and dh still giga unplayable

#

Lololo

signal edge
#

dh might be playable now

thick crater
#

I'm still trying to figure out the point of printing kael'thas 2.0

signal edge
#

Kalethas into murlocula into big payoff

#

Like denathrius

thick crater
#

you can still bolner denathrius

shell thunder
#

Shaman though omegalaughing

thick crater
#

imagine them reverting drek'thar

dh instant back

Dev Comment: When we buff cards in underperforming classes, we rarely do it with the goal of immediately shooting the class to a 50% plus winrate. Our goal is to make the game more fun, something we can accomplish by bringing the class up to a level where players feel like there is something worth exploring. With the focus on high confidence changes in this patch, the change we were most confident we could give Paladin was something we’ve seen before—a reversion to a previous balance change.

#

i cant get over this comment

#

yeah man

#

+1 hp

#

really worth exploring for sure

#

i cant stand these fucking reasons they put now dude

#

"quest hunter is a frustrating deck to lose to"

#

what deck is fun to lose to

#

i see this every single set of balance changes

#

"x deck isnt fun to lose to"

#

no shit, its losing, losing sucks man

signal edge
#

I think nerfing quest hunter was a good move

#

It was potentially looking to be oppressively top tier

shell thunder
#

I mean that's a totally valid reason to nerf it

#

I just hate the framin of "feels bad to lose to 🤓"

signal edge
#

I think the pala buff comment made no sense but idk what you do to the class realistically when it lacks cards

shell thunder
#

Print a proper set for the class

#

Not overnerf feels shit

signal edge
#

Pala is kinda

#

One good miniset away from working

shell thunder
#

every class in the game is in that postion

#

im just actually stunned they couldnt manage to make 3 of the 10 classes playable in any capacity over the duration of an entire expansion

signal edge
#

Warrior did do from 30% to like 45% thanks to the buffs

shell thunder
#

on day 1

signal edge
#

Dh also was not that far from playable

signal edge
#

How winrate actually increased over time

#

But lack of card draw makes it really hard to do anything after the initial blowout

signal edge
#

@shell thunder aggro meta

😦

shell thunder
signal edge
#

It was an honor having him as a dev for hs

vague moss
#

yea iskar did a lots of great things

shell thunder
#

yo wtf

signal edge
#

He's been streami on and off for a while now

#

Keeping a low profile because of the stuff that happened

shell thunder
#

seems smart PEPW

#

i miss his streams tho

#

sucks hes a shitty person

signal edge
#

I cannot seem to remember what he did

shell thunder
#

pretty sure he was just abusive in his relationship

signal edge
#

I really miss quest shaman man

#

Wish we get more overload cards

shell thunder
#

holy fuck

vague moss
#

control shaman is still powerful even it lost snowfall

shell thunder
#

ye

#

high skill cap deck for sure

vague moss
#

it help me to reach gold

shell thunder
#

okay fel relic DH

#

so fuckingg ood

#

actually good deck

#

this is how u abuse relics

#

is jace

#

not the shitty denathrius stuff

#

look at these wins

vague moss
#

i don't have any dh cardborpamop

#

hardly see relic dh in asia server but its fun

#

multiple mechanic

signal edge
#

Yeah I am playing fel relic dh as well but VS doesn't seem to mention it

he says the banter list is erally good in the p2w channels

oh this is a slower version than I had

#

But i can see this one working

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Miniset in 5 days

shell thunder
#

oo

#

cards

shell thunder
#

okay so jailer is cool

#

but the only playable card im p sure is sylv

vague moss
#

disapawnted druid has too many "draw" card

rocky vale
#

curse imp lock lowkey bussin

signal edge
#

Yeah it's also a very cool deck

shell thunder
#

eh?

#

feels like a pretty average miniset

#

aggro dh got a big boost

#

shit warrior decks got a big boost, but idk if to a playable level yet

#

pal;adin actually got insane cards

#

poket for just every paladin deck ever, and for pure its huge too

#

pokelt into light ray light ray cariel countess/levithan

#

seems fucking brutal to deal with

shell thunder
#

bro LMFAO

#

feno "give halkias charge, hell yeah"

#

SMOrc 👍

#

rogue cards are so bad

#

they ahve to giga buff secret rogue dude

#

and secret mage

#

they always get super juiced

signal edge
#

I'm a secret rogue non-believer

#

But pokelt for paladin looks fun

signal edge
#

Ngl the meta before the miniset jas been really good

#

Hopefully miniset doesn't throw too much balance out of the window

shell thunder
#

dude i actually dont think i care about any of these miniset cards

#

its legit just the DH ones

#

its like

#

control pala support

#

control warrior support

#

control priest support

#

and then just a bunch of random shit that goes nowhere

signal edge
#

Dude pala support 😎

shell thunder
#

what the actual fuck

signal edge
#

jailer moment!

shell thunder
#

thats such a smart combo

#

order in the court to get

#

jailer, cariel, and then ur deck is empty so u get reno

signal edge
#

gigachad move

shell thunder
#

i mean its kinda checkmate for most decks right

#

heal to 80hp

#

have immune giants

signal edge
#

does mass poly break immune?

shell thunder
#

well yes

#

but people arent going to play mass poly in a hearthstone deck

signal edge
#

yeah but I mean effects similar to that

#

like starfish

shell thunder
#

well no

#

because the immune is an aura effect

#

itll transform the minions into sheeps, but the sheeps will be immune

signal edge
#

OH

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

LOL

signal edge
#

ok that

#

is awesome

#

i'm gonna play some jailer things tomorrow

shell thunder
#

the only cards are like brawl, nether, clean the scenes, whirlpool

#

gigafin

#

all targeted shit doesnt work

#

nether is an irrelevant meta card

#

so like meta relevant cards are brawl clean the scenes whirlpool gigafin

signal edge
#

yeah it's fine

#

cwarrior does not exist yet

shell thunder
#

bunny just killed a warrior

#

like brawl clears a board but it doesnt... solve the problem

vague moss
#

new mini set gives shaman nothingdeadge

queen wraith
#

secret mage is so bad but rolling objection multiple times off of orion is hilarious

shell thunder
rocky vale
#

Seems balanced kekw

shell thunder
#

nohands found the list

#

and isnt keeping secrets like an idiot every game

signal edge
#

Juicy pack

queen wraith
#

i've been playing with it and it's so fun

shell thunder
#

Secrets just end it

signal edge
#

Secrets don't beat hunter

shell thunder
#

nothing beats hunter

signal edge
#

Maybe thief priest

shell thunder
#

okay so this miniset sucks

#

bt enrage warrior

#

actually good now

#

im like 14/2

#

xdd

signal edge
#

The struggle against hunter is still there for warr

signal edge
#

@shell thunder dude hunterace streams are my fav atm

#

Really chill atmosphere

shell thunder
#

Yeah he's cozy

thick crater
signal edge
#

Hunter slayin

shell thunder
#

not surprising

#

miniset had no impact on the format

#

so the best deck before, is the best deck now

signal edge
#

Miniset did really help paladin tho

#

I think the 2 drop spell might have some really interesting implications in the future

shell thunder
#

it helped paladin yes, but it did nothing to the actual format

#

like what actually changed with the miniset lmao

#

paladin is still not good enough, its better, but still not great

#

same goes for warrior

#

same goes for rogue

#

rogue didnt even get anything though xdd

signal edge
#

Control paladin is good as long as you don't run the jailer variant

#

But yeah the emphasis on secrets did fuck rogue

#

(warrior after hunter nerfs should be much better)

thick crater
#

I would love for them to buff stenographer to 5 mana but it probably won't happen

signal edge
#

I think they should never print rogue secrets again tbh

#

Failed archetype and if it's viable it's very frustrating gameplay

shell thunder
#

thats all the secrets

#

but i like secrets

#

blizzard is just legit 5 iq when it comes to designing modern secret payoffs

#

hanar is a good card

signal edge
#

I don't mind them on mage

shell thunder
#

theres no fucking world halkias is even close to power

#

or digger compared to stunner

#

they just are braindead

#

and made a dogshit set

signal edge
#

Rogue needs a good set of it's looking super grim after rotation

thick crater
#

yeah even zacho made this point in recent podcast by saying that secrets are unfun to play unless they are completely busted and then they are played

signal edge
#

Just look at sunken city and nathria

shell thunder
#

i mean yeah the devs are just clueless

#

idk what happened from sunken city onward

#

but the ball has been totally dropped in regards to the balance department

#

i still cannot belive edwin got buffed

signal edge
#

Nathria is a pretty good set

shell thunder
#

i mean is it?

signal edge
#

Yeah I think infuse is related good

shell thunder
#

DH was unplayable, warrior was unplayable, paladin was unplayable, rogue was mostly unplayable

#

4 of the 10 classes were not viable

signal edge
#

The issues with those is incomplete archetypes

thick crater
#

renathal ruined narthia RHmm

shell thunder
#

well yeah... thats the devs fault

signal edge
#

But incomplete archetypes has been an issue for years

shell thunder
#

why push archtypes when they arent finished

signal edge
#

I agree I think minisets should be used more to shore stuff up

#

Which this set partially did

shell thunder
#

i mean yeah the miniset as well

#

the miniset was fucking awful

#

like what on earth are they doing with that rogue card

#

or any of the warlock cards

#

like i get the always doomposting about games but holy fuck man

signal edge
#

Sylv is pretty solid

shell thunder
#

just the balance paradigm and just overall shitty deck quality is just so fucking boring

signal edge
#

Jailer is a card worth watching out for

#

Dunno I think pre- miniset meta was dope

#

It's just that miniset didn't change anything

#

And gave hunter strong cards in an untimely manner

#

At least ppl can now stop complaining how control hunter is not a thing 🙂

thick crater
#

isn't beast hunter midrange?

shell thunder
#

i mean idk

#

the decks i wanted to play this expansion were all flops

#

so i hate it

signal edge
#

Play aggro druid

#

If you want board based

#

I have a hunch that with hunter nerfs you will see enrage warr and aggro dh pop off as well

shell thunder
#

well no i wanted to play enrage warrior, secret mage, secret rogue, aggro dh, and relic dh

#

1 of these is playble

#

I dont look at this expansion and say "oh my god im so excited to play a renathal pile"

signal edge
#

Relic dh is playable

shell thunder
#

which is basically all this miniset gave

#

yeah relic DH is now

#

its the 1 single deck thats fun for me rn

signal edge
#

Fel relic is my fav deck this expansion

#

Not the denathrius list

shell thunder
#

ye

signal edge
#

But the fast one

shell thunder
#

the dan list sucks

signal edge
#

I do think renathal should receive the bakugenn treatment

#

And be rotated early

thick crater
#

yes please

signal edge
#

I applaud the devs for a bald idea like renathal but I don't wanna see him in standard for 2 years

shell thunder
#

yep

#

just rotate it early

#

cba with that dogshit forever

signal edge
#

Also it might be worth exploring burn shaman with the new infuse spell

#

4 totems into bioluminescence

shell thunder
#

it was experimented with

#

doesnt win

signal edge
#

😔

rocky vale
#

Cheesin bruh

#

i drew another 5 drop

#

lmaooooo

#

into a 7 drop

#

there's like 23 1-4's what

signal edge
#

Theotar finally hit

queen wraith
#

6 mana 5/5?

#

my guess

shell thunder
#

It's just going to 5

#

Idk how anybody thinks more than that's happening

#

When's the last time a card has gotten a 2 mana nerf at once

#

Seems about right

#

I expect the miniset to continue to see very limited play

signal edge
#

they could nuke theo to 7 mana

shell thunder
#

(they won't)

signal edge
#

😦

#

I just don't like theo disrupting my cool midrange cards

#

like yoinking my olgra

shell thunder
#

Yeah lmfao I hate the card

#

Just only expect a single man's nerf rlly

queen wraith
#

so super recently

shell thunder
#

Oh fuck yeah

#

i stand correct

#

i think that case is a bit different but u got me

queen wraith
#

yea i agree, that was a niche change so brann+kt isn't a thing, but still an example 😛

shell thunder
#

ye fax

#

i legit just forgot they did that lol

#

i want 10 mana theotar

#

but im only expecting 5

queen wraith
#

i guess it really depends on how drastically blizz responds to the negative perspective but yea that's a much more reasonable nerf than 6 5/5

#

or any other nerf

quaint aspen
#

its probably gonna be 5 mana

#

otherwise it would be weird it wasnt nerfed last time and now nerfed by alot more

#

or well I guess with more stats it could go 6mana yeah, they just do weird changes alot thesedays

#

but atleast its more frequent patch balances which is good

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Is this j alex?

shell thunder
#

yeh

signal edge
#

Plaguemaw buff sounds awesome

#

Only buff I'd be against here is perpetual flame

#

Like it's super strong at 2 mana

#

1 mana flame sounds very oppressive

shell thunder
#

i mean good give quest shaman something

#

its got nothing, and other shaman decks never play it

#

it used to be 1 and saw 0 play

#

let it be this giga premium tempo tool for quest shaman again

signal edge
#

That's because quest shaman needs lightning bloom

shell thunder
#

well yeah but thats my point

#

if ur not gonna give us bloom, revert flame

signal edge
#

I've tried making it work but without bloom you are so slow

shell thunder
#

oh yeah for sure

#

thats why you should buff other cards that got nerfed

signal edge
#

And honestly your hand size is often not big so theotar can easily yoink your good cards

#

I did like his idea of unnerfing the quest itself tho

#

I miss playing quest shaman

#

Also

#

Bolner shaman

#

2 beautiful decks

shell thunder
#

yeah man

#

the format needs cool shit

#

the fact denathrius is the most common complained about win condition should be an eye opener to people

#

lol

signal edge
#

For sure

#

I like denny

shell thunder
#

so do i

signal edge
#

Game needs more denathriuses and jaces

shell thunder
#

i just think theres no lethality in the format, so denathrius is super good lol

signal edge
#

Actually we have like 0 combo decks lmao

shell thunder
#

denathrius decks lose to anything in stormwind

signal edge
#

Yeah stormwind would be too lethal

#

Think devs listened too much to combo deck complainers

shell thunder
#

thats exactly what happened

#

were not getting a stormwind ever again

signal edge
#

Vs did a little poll on ppls favourite expansion

#

Stormwind was voted the 2nd highest

#

First one being frozen throne

#

But you get the point, a lot of ppl enjoyed stormwind

#

Control decks also existed, they just had to run a win condition

queen wraith
shell thunder
#

im reading that jalex google doc post

#

the reddit thread that was posted

#

so many people seem to think that this format is "super powerful"

#

its weird the disconnect a lot of people have on the state of the game

#

not even saying that in a rude way

#

but so many people seem convinced that this standard format is "super strong" and a "victim of power creep"

#

and that cards like denathrius, and devourer are too strong lol

thick crater
#

denathrius already got indirectly nerfed though

shell thunder
#

lmfao yeah

signal edge
#

Ppl have short memory

#

Last year was a powerhouse

#

Scholo mixed with stormwind

rocky vale
#

Was frozen throne the one with all the death knight heroes that one was dope as fuck I loved it

signal edge
#

Yeah that's frozen throne

rocky vale
#

I feel like midrange stuff like that where you can go greedy and try and put in more control value/win cons is hella fun

#

The actual control matchups people have a problem with are stuff like warrior where it’s legit just armor / removal until you run out of cards

signal edge
#

Yeah problem is there's 0 combo decks and like 1 aggro deck

#

All other meta decks are renathal theotar denathrius package

#

With fel dh being the exception

queen wraith
#

KotFT was great except for raza priest being so good

rocky vale
#

It wasn’t even bis

#

Lock or mage was definitely better

#

Priest could just do really well in the grind game

shell thunder
queen wraith
#

i didn't have raza so I couldn't join in on the fun

#

so I became a hater PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver

shell thunder
#

i had all the op decks of that era

#

was a blast

#

jade druid, raza priest, cubelock

queen wraith
#

cubelock was a blast, loved that deck

rocky vale
#

Wild was crazy good then too since it was right before shit went full degen with giants or resurrect

#

Just the most insane raza nzoth priest control mirrors

shell thunder
#

why do i have a feeling denathrius is going to get nerfed next expansion

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Dunno I think koft was a big Batchest expansion

#

The death knight cards ended up being very damaging in future metas

#

And first month of koft keta was druid dominance

#

To a point where best jade druid counter was the mirror

signal edge
#

Official statement about drop chances

sacred pilot
shell thunder
#

death knight location template

sacred pilot
#

That looks like Dragonflight professions ui

shell thunder
#

Zeddy recently got banned from future blizzard events for leaking

#

Which happened right after his video which was "speculating" that death knights were coming back to standard in 24.6

signal edge
#

Coming back huh

#

So a certain package of cards instead of a new class?

shell thunder
#

It's probably both

#

My guess is a doom in the tomb style event

#

That brings back death knights, along with synergy cards so like, skull + voidlord + guldan

#

To build hype for the upcoming dk expansion

#

They've hinted the expansion is "larger than normal"

#

There's a dk location placeholder

#

And iksar said "new classes could be every 2-3 years, and this expansion would be 2.5 years so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

signal edge
#

Maybe

shell thunder
#

Thread good

shell thunder
shell thunder
#

nice decklist man

#

fucking viper, firesale, starfish, theotar big spell mage

#

just every tech card at once

signal edge
#

I've been jamming ramp druid

#

Deck feels very nice

#

Just don't run jailer

shell thunder
#

i tried playing aggro decks and then i lost

#

because i queued into bunker sargeant 40 card rogue

#

and shamans who draw 2 schooling + gnoll muck pools

#

or mages running fire sale

#

actually the most fucking insane players at top 500

#

or i played against a rogue who full kept this

#

so he destroyed my entire board on turn 4lmfao with double gnoll off the top

quaint aspen
#

I also played fire sale on an empty board

shell thunder
#

was not a fun experience trying to make aggro work vs bunker sargant rogue and keeping sbs

quaint aspen
shell thunder
#

so yeah i just play felic dh because it instantly wins vs all these moron decks

#

fucking bunker sargent

quaint aspen
#

arena gaming

#

im just afk at like rank 1k till next month just doing weeklies

shell thunder
#

i tanked to 1200 playing aggro dekcs

#

so

#

need to climb back up with felics

quaint aspen
#

not sure how big legend is on NA

#

but on EU 2k is safe 11*

shell thunder
#

think 1k is safe

quaint aspen
#

but yeah meta is all over the place

#

hectic, but better than hunter gaming

#

just bless priest even slightly more annoying now

shell thunder
#

its just the same meta as sunken city miniset post nerfs

#

just decks that are piles

#

now there are 3 different shitty aggro decks that die to 1 board clear in aggro druid enrage warrior and aggro dh which is cool

#

big spell mage good again

quaint aspen
#

its weird because mini set was so much faster than usually

shell thunder
#

naga priest good again

quaint aspen
#

so now were still like 50?ish days away from xpac

shell thunder
#

ye and the 24.6 event is suppose to be huge

#

considering they didnt mention renathal, nor okani, and those were fucking huge

#

and this one they specifically said "something big is coming"

#

and all the rumors and hints about DKs coming to the game

#

like as a new class

quaint aspen
#

yeah dunno a new class seem a little out of place almost

shell thunder
#

have u kept up will all the rumors or nah

signal edge
#

I don't think they should add a new class

#

When they struggle to maintain current ones

quaint aspen
#

yeah and it might set a weird precedent when then people will expect a new class every 2-3 years

signal edge
#

Aggro decks are pretty good atm
Just in terms of feel they are very feast or famine

#

Compared to something like stormwind taunt druid

shell thunder
#

basically iksar said "a new class should take around 2-3 years" this expansion is 2.5 years from DHs

they said this expansion is "the largest of the year"

there is placeholder art in the game files for a "death knight location"

somebody on twitter said they liked the card dark peddler, in which a game dev replied to it and said "yeah this card could use 1 more health i think"

and then theres been people who have leaked things in the past have made mention of "seeing the death knights playable"

signal edge
#

Which had hand reload

shell thunder
#

i mean i want to playt hese aggro decks but im not queuing these aggro decks into mororns playing all removal decks

#

i just have to play fel DH and kill them its the only thing i can do

signal edge
#

Fel dh is goated deck

shell thunder
#

like im literally queuing into doomsayer paladin

#

and doomsayer priest

#

and fucking bunker sargant rogue

quaint aspen
#

doomsayer pala sounds ok, wtf is doomsayer priest

shell thunder
#

like this is my pocket meta i have to just spam fel

#

lol

#

just dogshit removal priest

#

with renathal and no win con

signal edge
#

Probably thief priest

shell thunder
#

its just allr emoval

signal edge
#

Thief priest is basically an attrition deck

#

Just stall and yoink till opponent runs out of resources

#

Pretty sure the aggressive priest decks are the good ones tho

shell thunder
#

yeah imagine queuing enrage warrior into these moron decks

signal edge
#

Winnable

#

Just snowball

quaint aspen
#

yeah, havent watched alot of streams latetly just assumed it phased out when I mostly only watch super high legend in hs section

signal edge
#

And hope they don't draw the 1 mana board silence

shell thunder
#

retrog how do i beat 40 card thief rogues keeping double serrated bone spike

#

40 cards

#

keeping sbs

#

vs warrior

signal edge
#

Pray they draw bad and pray warrior gets reload next expansion

shell thunder
signal edge
#

I don't mind this meta tho

shell thunder
#

i ts fine

#

i mean ive hated the entire year so far

signal edge
#

Could use a couple combo decks in the mix

shell thunder
#

so this meta is no different realistically speaking

#

combo is giga dead

#

too many decks are just all in garbge with no reload

signal edge
#

Boar priest is ok

shell thunder
#

miracle rogue, bless priest, enrage warrior, aggro druid, aggro dh

#

all 5 of these decks are just "yeah i hope u dont have removal"

quaint aspen
#

boar priest is too high skill deck for 98% of hs playerbase

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

cba learning that

#

i just want like, handlock

#

i wanna play handlock again

#

and like, an aggro deck that doesnt instantly die to a board clear (that isnt implcok)

signal edge
#

Boar does have a favourable field atm

shell thunder
#

ye its good

#

just too tilting to learn

signal edge
#

Especially with implock being so popular

#

Thief rogue with 40 cards is an L tho

#

30 performs much more consistently

shell thunder
#

it was bad before the miniset

#

idk why itd be any different

#

ppl keep trying it every time idk why

#

its just bad

#

bro have u looked at rogues set this year btw so far

#

its actually i think the worst of any class by a lot

#

for standard ofc

signal edge
#

I think sunken city is hyperbad for rogue

#

Cn has some good cards

#

But secrets take up a big portion of the rogue set

#

And kinda do nothing

shell thunder
#

blizzard is so fucking dumb dude

#

howd they make the secrets so bad

signal edge
#

Probably because good secrets cause a lot of frustration

shell thunder
#

then why bother printing them at all

signal edge
#

I agree

#

Secrets feel very problematic

shell thunder
#

i mean i disagree with ur assessment either way

signal edge
#

Playing against secret mage was not a good experience when it eas meta

shell thunder
#

i hate that there are loads of archtypes that just get dismissed as

#

"feels bad to lose to"

#

maybe im different but i feel no differnet losing to secrets as i do any other deck

signal edge
#

Zacho did point out one thing about secrets

#

If secret decks are suboptimal in power they are not popular

#

Compared to something like

#

Ramp druid being weak but being overplayed

shell thunder
#

well thats usually because the secrets decks when they are bad are so unplayable its not even funny

signal edge
#

Only time secret decks are popular is when they are good

shell thunder
#

ramp druid is never a 40% winrate deck

#

secret rogue is

signal edge
#

Thief rogue is also overplayed imo

#

(the 40 card list)

#

But seemingly some decks are just more fun to play and see play despite their winrate

rocky vale
#

I agree playing against secret decks is cancer

#

Mage right now with counterspell and counter minion is great lol

signal edge
#

Miracle rogue popping off

shell thunder
signal edge
#

It appears you tilted and didn't stop playing

shell thunder
#

i mean maybe a little but i was getting exceptionally fucked

#

i kept drawing unplayable aggro dh hands

#

double predations no nagas

#

aggro mirrors with my only expensive cards

#

topdecking rokara when on 6 mana

signal edge
#

Ok but no way you're losing that much with felic

quaint aspen
#

rage queue Cheesin

shell thunder
#

just aggro matchups and u draw nothing

#

it happens

quaint aspen
#

feels like you post this every month almost

#

I guess you play alot of games so youre more likely to have stretches like that

#

but yeah just lookingthrew my stats

#

but im still above 50% wr over 100+ games

#

random sample from fel relic

shell thunder
#

i mean yeah

#

sometimes u afk for 4 turns

#

and ur opponent curves u with renathal

quaint aspen
#

and like recently ive played big mage for first time climbing to legend

#

went 50% first 20games, then just won like 8 in a row

#

and the afk games on relic hurt the most from experience atleast

#

nothing worst than having both locations and the draw relic in bottom10

#

feels like youre playing a different deck all together

#

and everytime you queue into bless priest you just insta lose unless you have the turbo extinction nuts

shell thunder
#

yeah i played a game both location 0 relics in 24 cards

#

legit bottom 6

#

like i kept location

#

no relics from school teacher anything

#

sometimes u just get fucked by draws

#

🙃

#

especially with shitty aggro decks lmao

#

but sometimes this happens

#

the combatant was a 6/11 btw

#

fucking bunker sargant

quaint aspen
#

bunker sergeant just makes no sense tho lmao, just some guy overthinking it

shell thunder
#

this is the 2nd ive seen in 2 days

quaint aspen
#

oh its a different game

shell thunder
#

yes ICANT

quaint aspen
#

what does it even kill I dont get it

shell thunder
#

this is what i lost to as aggro dh

#

🙃

#

but yeah enrage warrior when it works it feels pretty strong

#

only matchup i lost was not renathal

#

🙃

shell thunder
#

that card upsets me so proobably not

#

but maybe

signal edge
#

I mean even VS recommends it in their list

quaint aspen
#

they also have prosecutor in one list and okani in the topple one

#

explain that, their lists arent perfect

#

not a fan of finley in 30 version personally, but its only 1 card end of the day

signal edge
#

Prosecutor seems ok

#

Probably replaceable

quaint aspen
#

never said it wasnt, just seems weird to me that one list plays it and other one plays okani

signal edge
#

Finley in practice has been very valuable since you're fishing for relics

quaint aspen
#

yeah I get why its in the deck, but its never a keep so its just a weird countermeasure against bad draws

#

but you also have to draw him!

#

I guess every few dozen games you might have a game where he saves you from fatigue dmg

signal edge
#

The logic I could see vs okani is how it performs better in more defensive decks than it does in more offensive ones

#

But prosecutor being THE replacement is also questionable

quaint aspen
#

I guess they did write what classes each card is better against, then they just put 1 of them in each list for diversity

signal edge
#

They should probably put in both of them as flex cards

quaint aspen
#

Mel’Tranix shines against Rogues and Priests. Okani is most powerful against Hunters and Druids.

signal edge
#

In their lists

#

Rogue and priest is the field I'm facing mostly so meltranix is very fine for me

shell thunder
#

I think it's like

#

U have 2 slots

#

And u can run any combination of 4 u want

#

Finley, okani, maltranix and warblades

#

All are slightly better and worse in diff matchups

#

Maltranix is really good vs a lot of shitty renathal decks, especially with paladin getting more popular now

#

The topple version is more board reliant so okani helps with that to block removal and tempo swings

control is fine atm

#

attrition is not very prevalent which is fine in my book

weary turtle

arcanus repeticus

queen wraith
shell thunder
#

Yes and?

signal edge
#

Nah he's playing the chad 30 card list

#

That mage variant is an aggressive one

shell thunder
#

Burn mage

queen wraith
#

I mean, 2x snowflurry/flurry/alibi/location/cold case doesn't really scream aggression

weary turtle
#

Sounds like a lot of stalling to me

shell thunder
#

Why would this get made now HYPERCLUELESS

weary turtle
#

i hope there is a code for a diamond lich king when you get it

signal edge
shell thunder
weary turtle
#

yay

shell thunder
weary turtle
#

so rune mana?

#

i see the blue red and green thing next to the mana cost

shell thunder
#

watch the strea

#

mthey are exlaining how it works

#

duno yet

#

when u build a deck, u select runes

#

and ur deck requires these runes slotted in to allow you to use them

#

so u cant play a 3 unholy gem spell if u have 3 blood gems slotted

thick crater
#

holy shit so much stuff is happening dracthyr_blob_sweat

queen wraith
#

oh guff and UI at the same time

#

😦

thick crater
#

I wouldn't say UI is a good card now

#

"necessarily good"

#

ramp druid plays a bit different now compared to the koft

#

but spreading plague

#

yeah that is busted

signal edge
#

If I may be sceptical

#

I think the new legendary hero skins might rince the mobile fps performance

shell thunder

100%

shell thunder

1k wins

sacred pilot
#

@shell thunder did u see the hearthstone lead designer guy

#

His fucking haircut

weary turtle
#

the legendary hero skin is a brilliant idea but it looks so janky

shell thunder
#

looks a bit out of place for the aethetics of HS

#

i really like the base DK art tho

#

looks very good

#

looks like canvas

weary turtle

alex horley never disappoints.

nice you created timewarp

sacred pilot

No

#

Time warp is I get an extra turn

#

Paralysis skips their next turn

#

:)

weary turtle
#

haha

sacred pilot
#

Oh shit

#

What if there was a card that

#

Skipped both players next turn for like 3 mana

weary turtle
#

Death Knight should have an easier time finding Legendaries that fit them than Demon Hunters.

sacred pilot
#

That would be craaaazy

shell thunder
#

sap and para are the same thing

#

and sap already exists

#

and doesnt do that

shell thunder
#

para wouldnt do that either lol

sacred pilot
#

Guy i wasn’t being serious

#

Lol

weary turtle
#

like last guy was Xy'mox and has nothing to do with Demon Hunters

weary turtle
#

but i love Xy'Mox

sacred pilot
#

Yeah idk what the relics are

#

Honestly

#

How do those fit in thematically

shell thunder
#

it was a castle nathria expansion

#

and they needed a class

sacred pilot
#

Yeah

shell thunder
#

and all the other classes had shit done already

weary turtle
#

sire deanthrius' private collection

shell thunder
#

so it went to dhs lol

sacred pilot
#

Yeah

#

Nice

#

Dk legendaries shouldn’t be hard

#

You have like Sindragosa

sacred pilot

Literally all of the scourge generals

sacred pilot

Mage got sindragosa and KT

weary turtle
#

also p much gonna be mage again if they visit DF

sacred pilot
#

Damn near shadowmourne could be a legendary

weary turtle
#

Scourgelord Garrosh

#

it can be a standalone card tho

#

wake up babe, new mutanus just dropped

shell thunder
#

omega toxic card

#

hate all this disruption they continue to spam the game with

sacred pilot
#

Brann patchwerk

sacred pilot
weary turtle
#

mutanus is perfectly a fine card imo

shell thunder
#

this is way better than mutanus

#

way way way better

#

this has board impact as well

weary turtle
#

theotar literally was an example of why blizz was way too comfortable with distruption

quaint aspen
#

what is this new card rarity that you cant craft

sacred pilot
#

It’s not way way better than mutants

shell thunder
shell thunder
sacred pilot
#

It has waaaay less presence on board / stats

quaint aspen
#

no I mean some 18 cards that you cant craft?

sacred pilot
#

Like it’s better than mutants but

weary turtle
#

its good that theo got nerfed, card was easily busted and caused little to no tempo loss.

shell thunder
#

but it kills a minion on board

#

its just better lol

#

mutanus cant be played from behind

quaint aspen
#

theotar nerf didnt do anything, same decks that played it still play it

shell thunder
#

this can be

#

well yeah but the card is way worse

#

and a lot of decks have cut it

#

or should anyway

weary turtle
#

card is way worse

quaint aspen
#

like what deck

weary turtle
#

paying 5 mana for a 3/3 sucks

shell thunder
#

big spell mage doesnt

sacred pilot
shell thunder
#

30/40 mage dont

#

paladin doesnt

#

rogue shouldnt

weary turtle
#

besides, renathal is probably getting nerfed next but we will see

shell thunder
#

they should never nerf theo just rotate him early

weary turtle
#

its wild's problem now

quaint aspen
#

40 card mage surely still plays theo or

shell thunder
#

a lot of ppl might still be playing it but its really bad in stats

#

thats the general vibe of theotar lol

#

sure, the same decks still play him, but those decks got worse because they are running a 5 mana 3/3

weary turtle
#

theo can still ruin people's days

shell thunder
#

still a giga toxic card

#

just like patchwork

weary turtle
#

but paying 5 mana for a 3/3 is a massive hemorage on tempo

#

you are better off paying for a chillwind yeti

quaint aspen
#

you talk tempo like youre supposed to play theo on 5 everytime

#

if anything id say its more dependant on what the top decks are if you play theo or not

shell thunder
#

i mean mana nerfs always matter right lol

#

it makes bran theotar slower

#

its harder to steal cards like, nourish, or guff

#

its hard to spend mana on theotar, while also doing other stuff on the same turn

#

etc

weary turtle
#

i think i should probably, burn through some Nathria packs to refind theotar for my LPG mage

quaint aspen
#

I get all of that its not like im hardstuck plat, but people seemed to think the nerf didnt matter that much 1-2weeks after it happened

weary turtle
#

but i think i need mordresh atm

quaint aspen
#

so what changed since then

shell thunder
#

data happened

#

the same thing that happens with every mana nerf that happens in hs history

#

"this nerf does nothing, see , ill playt he card and do well still"

#

and then the data comes out and proves that in fact, a 1 mana nerf does matter

weary turtle
#

yo real talk whos gonna play keleseth in standard rn

#

i wanna see a comeback from the lad

#

keleseth, ShadowStep Shadowstep turn 2 pogs

shell thunder
#

the KOFT cards are so bad dude

LOL

weary turtle
#

hey i mean

#

i am still gonna use em in standard

shell thunder
#

i added that animated berserker card to enrage warrior

#

card was alright

weary turtle

i am making a Dead Man's Hand warrior like in the old days

what data are you talking about fg

shell thunder

spreading plague is p good lol

weary turtle

also Rotface is so dogwater

shell thunder

uh hsr and vs
