@shell thunder nice name OMEGAKEKW

shell thunder
#

dude i fucking hate scabbs

#

so much

signal edge
#

You wanna see a super satisfying moment?

shell thunder
#

ye

signal edge
shell thunder
#

yeah bolner shaman is cool

signal edge
#

Do you see the perfect lurker?

shell thunder
#

yeah lol

#

just watched feno do it twice to a dude lol

#

card is nice

signal edge
#

The animation is also really satisfying

#

I have a hot take

#

Bolner shaman is better than thief rogue

shell thunder
#

probably

signal edge
#

I know stats show that poison rogue is a bad matchup

#

But I think we adjust the playstyle and it's a 50/50

shell thunder
#

thief rogue just does a few thing that make it so resliant

#

so it has the most insane early game of any deck in the game rn, so it can just win the game on turn 3 with panda + gnoll

#

it also has random generation from swash, recon, and wandthief that make it insanely hard to play around

signal edge
#

Bloom into caverns is also insane tbh

shell thunder
#

it has the best hero card in the game that punishes you for developing into them

#

and then they have an infinite damage otk with MR smite

#

like the deck just doesnt stop

signal edge
#

I look at swash and thief like I look at rtb

#

It averages out

shell thunder
#

bruh im getting

#

felfire in the hole'd when im on beast druid

#

and im getting twisting nether'd as handlock

#

i dont feel the average

signal edge
#

Well they don't tend to play the dead card

shell thunder
#

thats true

signal edge
#

It just stays in their hand

#

And that happens quite a lot

#

So swash does look better than it is

shell thunder
#

still incredibly frustrating losing a game to it repeatedly

signal edge
#

Although burgle got slightly improved no?

#

What I mean

#

Is you can generate hero cards

#

I don't think that was the case for death knights

shell thunder
#

well remember back in the day

#

your burgle cards could get packfiller

#

packfiller doesnt exist anymore

signal edge
#

(which is good)

shell thunder
#

yes

signal edge
#

Remember worgen greaser?

shell thunder
#

ye lol

#

im not saying its bad

#

its just like

#

burgle is way way better

#

when all of the cards are good

signal edge
#

It is yeah

shell thunder
#

like look at the deathrattle pool for recon

signal edge
#

I still cannot believe they printed rend

shell thunder
#

compare that to how it looks in wild

#

almost every recon hit is good

signal edge
#

What was in their minds when they were making rend

shell thunder
#

rend blackhand?

signal edge
#

Ya

#

Oh you need a dragon to activate

#

And on top of that

#

It only targets legendary minions

shell thunder
#

lol yeah

#

its a bit of a mystery

signal edge
#

Brode era had a lot of those

shell thunder
#

like

#

burgle rogue doesnt have these cards in the pool

signal edge
#

Well there is definitely trash

shell thunder
#

or this

#

yeah but theres WAAAAY less trash than there once was

signal edge
#

Like the 0 mana spell that destroys your own minion

shell thunder
#

the card quality has gone way up since the past

#

theres still stinkers but its way higher

signal edge
#

Well there's also more synergy specific cards

#

So you can get a synergy card that doesn't work

#

Listening to J alex talking about barrens priest

#

Sounds like a nightmare

#

Samuro into apotheosis into a heal board clear

#

And if you're a slower deck

#

They just illucia you

#

Dreadful times

shell thunder
#

yeah barrens priest sucked

#

it was a "all discover"

#

no draw

#

all removal

#

no threats

#

control deck

signal edge
#

Glad I skipped that meta

shell thunder
#

if you wanted to combo kill

#

2 mana illucia destroy your combo

#

if you went wide, apo samuro reno full clear

#

very exhausting deck

#

and they always discover an answer

#

renew into soul mirrorx3

signal edge
#

Absolute life drain

#

At least devs are really responsive

#

I kinda wish wow devs were active with the community like the hs devs are

#

Not that they need to

#

But it's kinda nice to have gs devs constantly communciating

#

And boar still streaming for example

shell thunder
#

ye

#

ive said it for a bit, wud be nice to have a wow dev u could speak to

signal edge
#

To be fair it does seem like the wow community is a bit more vitriolic

#

Like

#

Why did ppl got so mad about the 9.2 reveal vid?

shell thunder
#

the wow community is equally as unbearable as the HS community is at its worst

signal edge
#

It's the art team showing pride in their work

shell thunder
#

but yeah

signal edge
#

And community goes "hurr durr nagrand is more alien"

shell thunder
#

the art team showing their work off, having cool water that u can walk on, and showing the new zone

#

"UH ACTUALLY YOU GUYS HAVE MADE THIS KIND OF WATER BEFORE WHAT A FUCKING IDIOTIC COMMENT"

#

like get a grip dude

#

its cool water

#

LOL

signal edge
#

Yeah idk what you want from the art team

#

They won't fix systems

shell thunder
#

i mean people are just dumb

#

i remember preach saying shit like "covenants will ruin raiding and M+ because you will need venthyr teleport to beat some fights"

#

meanwhile there was 0 fights in the entire game, or dungeons, that u needed venthyr port to skip

#

people just want to cry and complain

signal edge
#

I do think wow community can be more extreme simply because of the emotional investment with so many years

shell thunder
#

ye iirc the poe community is way worse to the point where the lead game designer had to tell his dev team "yeah dont go on reddit, i will deal with it"

#

because it was getting so toxic

signal edge
#

Hs community has it's moments but I still feel like devs can say random stuff and ppl won't be inquisitors about every word said

#

Like you take an Ion interview

#

He simply says "pull the ripcord" as a fancy sentence

#

And that becomes a movement

shell thunder
#

the hs community can get pretty stupid

#

i think iskar said "i like secret mage"

#

and then everybody on reddit for a week was like

signal edge
#

A chad aggro deck enjoyer

shell thunder
#

"YEAH THE LEAD GAMEDEV LIKES SECRET MAGE HE HATES CONTROL HE SAID IN THIS REDDIT POST THAT HE WANTS CONTROL PLAYERS TO ACTUALLY WIN AND THATS UNFAIR BECAUSE HE JUST PLAYS SECRET MAGE ALL THE TIME"

#

and its like dawg

#

calm down

#

its a card game deck

signal edge
#

Secret mage with aluneth is fun tho

#

You're racing against the fatigue clock to burn your opponent

shell thunder
#

ye lol

#

explosive runes YEP

#

damn feno has been climbing huh

#

rank 8 rn??

#

hes barely even playing rogue too lol

signal edge
#

Yeah and the best part

shell thunder
signal edge
#

His streams are fun

#

Because he's having fun

shell thunder
#

45/43

signal edge
#

Feno deck roulettes

shell thunder
#

my biggest issue with HS streamers is that htey never shut the fuck up complaining

#

feno doesnt

#

other than saying hes unlucky

#

which is funny

signal edge
#

Idk the only constant compmainer is theo

shell thunder
#

depending on the day, pizza will nonstop

signal edge
#

J alex, meati, feno are fine

shell thunder
#

kibler depending on the day

#

maybe i just catch him at bad times

signal edge
#

I haven't watched pizza in a while

#

Idk kibler has been chill recently

#

He obviously has the control bias

shell thunder
#

thats good at least

#

i just remember old metas he would complain nonstop

signal edge
#

But his yogg druid videos on YouTube are really entertaining

shell thunder
#

ye

#

his youtube vids are good

#

i mean this meta is good so its hard to complain too much

#

but i watch pizza a lot usually

#

and i watched him last night and for 2 hours he was just talking about quests making the format "feel the same"

#

and iw as like

queen wraith
#

Geno's streams have been hilarious recently

shell thunder
#

play 5 games against burgle rogue, every game is the same

#

trade trade panda gnoll

#

scabs on 7

#

thats how good hearthstone decks work

queen wraith
#

Like the clip of him talking about poison rogue weapon on 3 each game

signal edge
#

I will say, I'm happy that pizza is getting more viewers
I watched him when he averaged about 50
Now I see him around 400-500

shell thunder
#

they do the same thing every game

#

ye its good for him

signal edge
#

He grinded and earned those views

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

constructed has some good streamers rn

#

i like theo even tho he complains all the time

#

he was playing ramp druid v ramp druid all day the other day and just perma not guff

#

opponent at 18 mana hes at 10

#

lol

signal edge
#

I like that theo plays the wow soundtrack in his streams

#

Brings a nice vibe

shell thunder
#

ye lol

#

i like when the tracks play the legendary card sounds

signal edge
#

They're on point

shell thunder
#

what a fun hearthstone card

signal edge
#

Looking scary post rotation

#

When power level will be lower

shell thunder
#

idk why they just remade barnes

#

already was a terrible card to play with before, where it had to get nerfed in wild

#

so they just reprinted it

#

im also literally just hardstuck diamond

#

i cant climb to save my life

signal edge
#

You should pull through with thief rogue

#

I mean drek looks cool in the concept it was printed

#

Being the polar opposite of vandarr

#

Aggro vs control

shell thunder
#

except its just barned

#

its 4 mana flood the board with stats that shouldnt be in play

signal edge
#

And drek is always accompanied by 2 wolves in wow and the hearthstone art

#

So summoning 2 minions makes sense

shell thunder
#

thats great

#

it shouldnt be barnes

signal edge
#

Right now the power level is so high thay drek is not a problem funnily enough

#

But as zacho said

#

It's a card waiting to be nerfed

#

Vandarr is the cooler card anyways 😎

quaint aspen
#

🙈

shell thunder
#

i cant play hearthstone

#

IDKL HOW TO PLAY AROUND

#

EVERY HEARTHSTONE CARD

#

ITS IMPOSSIBLE

#

FUCKING

#

MR SMITE

#

NAJAK

#

LKIKE

#

LITERALLY HOW

#

THERE ARE 5000 ROGUE CARDS

#

I HVAE TO PLAY AROUDN

signal edge
#

The deathrattle pool is shallow enough to fish for specific cards

shell thunder
#

i cant play around

#

najak

#

heal

#

liket

#

ehres too many

#

theres like 20

#

how do i play around a pool of 20????

quaint aspen
#

youre not supposed to win every game

signal edge
#

You slam the opponent

shell thunder
#

but this is like eveyr game

signal edge
#

How's todays stats looking?

shell thunder
#

like 3-7

signal edge
#

Kinda reasonable lol

#

You get those kinds of days

shell thunder
#

this is every day t ho :(((((((((

signal edge
#

Idk your stats you shared yesterday look ok

#

Dragged down by fel dh I think

shell thunder
#

im negative with every deck except handlock

signal edge
#

They are close to 50%

#

If you're around the 50% winrate mark then you're above average tbh

shell thunder
#

maybe hs just isnt my game anymore

#

im just making barely any progress

signal edge
#

You can take a break till nerfs

#

Which might come Tuesday

#

No rush to get legend

shell thunder
#

i cant even win with thief rogue

#

my hand is wicked stab wicked stab potion of illusion mr smite maestra on turn 6

#

no gnolls no pandas no scabs no draw

#

iduno man

signal edge
#

I can login NA and spectate for a bit

#

Not available on vc but can just type

shell thunder
signal edge
#

if that's thief rogue stats

#

you've gotta be doing something wrong

#

even if opponents are lucky

shell thunder
#

my last 5 cards in deck were agent agent gnoll gnoll scabs

#

in the shaman game

signal edge
#

and in the other games?

shell thunder
#

just shit play ig

quaint aspen
#

I lost poison vs thief yesterday because scabbs was literally my 30th card lmao

#

had 5 left I passaged on 8 mana I see everything except scabbs

shell thunder
#

2 flows first 7 cards

signal edge
#

that's normal

#

pretty much every mage I face

shell thunder
#

very fun game

shell thunder
#

turn 6 mozaki

quaint aspen
#

lmao wild

shell thunder
#

is that tax dh

quaint aspen
#

I just copy pasted it from reddit

shell thunder
#

its tax dh

#

how is it

quaint aspen
#

seems ok but wild is a shitshow anyways

#

like I played reno priest now im playing cthun hunter I have no idea whats in these decks

#

seems good against ignite mage and quest warr which is more important

shell thunder
#

yeah the 6 wild decks are like

#

pirate warrior
odd hunter
whatever version of OTK mage people feel like playing, apm, ignite, flamewaker
Shudderwock shaman

#

im forgetting 2

shell thunder
#

watching feno lose to swashburgler as much as me is giving me a lot of relief

quaint aspen
#

21-8 with this wild dh now, not bad

#

undefeated against pirate warr starege

quaint aspen
#

k just went d5 to legend without a loss wild is an interesting place

shell thunder
#

LOL

#

what if pirate warrior in wild is just as counterable as it is in standard, its just people in wild are stupid noobs and havent learned the matchup

quaint aspen
#

tbh I drew weblord almost every game against them

#

that just wins the game on itself almost

shell thunder
#

i like how terrible cards when they came out have become wild staples

#

like the weblord

#

or even poison seeds

#

unplayable trash during nax

#

but are core to the whole "tax" archtype

#

poison seeds defines slow druid

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Poison rogue getting more and more popular

#

This must be stopped!

shell thunder
#

this ugly disgusting

#

gnoll poison rogue

#

is so strong

shell thunder
#

@signal edge can u watch this replay

#

and tell me if im going crazy

signal edge
#

Sure

shell thunder
#

am i misplaying

#

or is this guy just the luckiest player on earth

#

overgrowth > guff > solar ward into really good 8s, and 2 strongmen > into amazing yog > amazing yogg

#

like did i fuck this game up

#

LOL

signal edge
#

I'm not a fan of the tamsin hero card play honestly

#

Giants sitting at 3 mana for 2 more turns was painful to watch

#

I tend to keep her as a finisher card to draw 3 into fatigue in slower matchups

#

And I feel like dropping giants earlier would've created you a more comfortable spot

shell thunder
#

but he has turelion is the issue

#

so even if i double giant there he just trades

#

lol

signal edge
#

It's a bit hard to see cards left in deck but I think you could've gotten around with a soulrend

#

Also

shell thunder
#

just double rend instead of tamsin

#

?

signal edge
#

Hm yeah

shell thunder
#

also ive played 5 druids today and every one of them have guffed me on turn 3

signal edge
#

I think we go for giant pressure into fatigue wincon

#

Yeah getting guffed sucks

#

It's not kurtrus powerlevel

shell thunder
#

well down to d4 now

signal edge
#

But

#

Guff is by far the best card

shell thunder
#

ugh

signal edge
#

At least you're not at high legend facing nothing but mozaki and poison

#

God why did those 2 decks become popular

shell thunder
#

id rather be in legend so i can just try and learn shit

#

rather than instantly queuing into unfavourables, and then they draw the nuts vs me

signal edge
#

I think warlock has game vs druid

shell thunder
#

not when they play guff

#

on turn 3

signal edge
#

But yeah druid can suck for everyone when they roll the win with yogg

shell thunder
#

yep

#

and yogg (:

signal edge
#

Yogg rotates so I can put up with him for the remainder months

#

I will miss yshaarj tho

shell thunder
#

just want to get into legend this month lol

shell thunder
shell thunder
#

yeah so

#

gnoll poison rogue?

#

actual nonsense deck

#

that deck is way too good

#

u draw gnolls, and suddenly you have good early turns

#

also unironically, at least at lowerish ranks, you cant mulligan for it

#

if i saw a rogue on ladder and i had viper in my mulligan, im keeping viper

#

but because maestra you literally cant keep viper

quaint aspen
#

I saw people running double viper even now in top100 lmao

shell thunder
#

turns out poison rogue shouldnt have access to vanish

#

considering we arent getting nerfs this week

#

which is kinda.. bad news

#

does just rogue ever get demloished by these nerfs

#

like gnolls cloak and scabbs

quaint aspen
#

I mean did you see the pics

#

of 55% rogue in top100

#

shits getting nerfed

#

they just might take the easy approach first like theyve done in the past

#

and not just nuke stuff insta

#

funny how fast the lock wep got nerfed to 5

shell thunder
#

well its ofc getting nerfed

#

but people originally said "oh they nerf cloak and gnoll"

#

but now its like

#

i think people are tired of scabbs as well LOL

#

even if they "dont want to nerf hero cards yet"

quaint aspen
#

I think it was scabbs and gnoll, but poison has just gained alot of playrate

#

in last 10~ days

#

so now its just EVERYTHING

#

like it shifts fast lol, I literally played jace first 2 days of this season and it was semi-miserable

#

dhs playrate has to super down 10 days later

#

but I did see people even playing weapon dh on streams, and that monsanto guy playing some aggro builds

shell thunder
#

the problem is that thief rogue used to be favoured

#

but thief rogue has an OTK

#

so it went from a 70% to a 50%

#

and then it loses to mozaki, and poison

#

and you kinda die to druid

#

and you kinda die to paladin sometimes

#

fel dh farms handlock fwiw

#

DH is a bit sad rn which sucks

#

2 expacs in a row ive wanted to really play a fun DH deck

#

but both fel and dr were just a bit too weak for my liking

quaint aspen
#

I met a mirror match in wild

#

first dh opp in 45 games

shell thunder
#

give me a list

#

maybe i play some tax dh

quaint aspen
#

I dont even know why its good but im happy

#

I get to farm some dh wins

shell thunder
#

well when your opponent cant play cards

#

turns our its easy to win

quaint aspen
#

I mean its not super tax

#

its more like tech by some random guy

#

AAEBAaOtBAbfxALR0QPj1AP36AO7igSHiwQMiA6m7wLgvAPUyAPyyQOC0AP51QPz4wOQ5APIgASEjQTJnwQA

#

its only 1 post, 1 rat and 2 weblords

#

oh and 1 robes

#

like I could probably improve it easily, 2 need for greed seems pointless

shell thunder
#

what do u keep

quaint aspen
#

companion, deadeye, vanguard, glaive and drek, weblord depending on opp class I guess

shell thunder
#

all these 1 ofs make me sick

quaint aspen
#

wild is just a joke

#

its 3x easier than standard

#

I dont even know what rat is good for except like cthun druid

#

oh ignite mage I guess but for some reason I havent played against any almost

#

my mmr too low prob

shell thunder
#

bad quest players

#

both pirate and hunter

#

mage

#

druid

quaint aspen
#

I just play cards and somehow have 80% wr

shell thunder
#

does this deck need rat to win vs mage

#

lol

#

i feel like u just kill them anyway

quaint aspen
#

ye weblord fucks them aswell

#

whole turn to play that guy to cast iceblock from their deck

#

but yeah Ive played 45 games, last ignite mage I met was like game 4

#

so not enough data OMEGAKEKW

shell thunder
#

i dont feel like making kreen

#

this seems good

quaint aspen
#

kreen actually nutso

#

neophyte in wild, is that a card

shell thunder
#

bouta find out

#

this list on hsreplay uses it

quaint aspen
#

id play atleast 1 need tho

#

seems to be a really good topdeck on like 5-6 mana

#

atleast from xp

shell thunder
#

mk

quaint aspen
#

oh right stillsteeper forgot about that card

#

on hsreaply

shell thunder
#

ye

quaint aspen
#

the free stats on hsreplay are so garbage tho lmao

#

and even more garbage where you have 300 game samples on wild below plat

shell thunder
#

ye lol

#

tempo storm says that this deck is tier 4

quaint aspen
#

this guy did straight up not have a good time

shell thunder
#

glide with 2watchposts down is very funny

quaint aspen
#

if I didnt lose that 1 game against pirate warr my win streak would be at like 25

#

t4 deck my ass

#

bro against pirate warr

#

wanna take bets what turn he concedes

#

dude plays brawl these wild players are something else

#

wild is just not a real gamemode I swear

shell thunder
#

LOL

#

ZIHI

#

LMFAO

quaint aspen
#

this is like mlg highlights in one game

#

this guy playing like 6 tech cards, me bricking my own drek'thar with kurtrus minion

#

rating his quest reward

shell thunder
#

lol ye

#

dude dreadprison glaive, and the vanguard feel like such good cards

#

i need some aggro dh in my life

#

in standard

quaint aspen
#

wtf is up with wild mmr

#

I only jump 20-30 ranks per win at 1k

#

anyways 12-1 in legend, clearly tier4 deck

shell thunder
#

yeah gnoll poison rogue is a nonsense deck when u draw flow

shell thunder
#

ugh

#

feels gross being 11 days and getting legend

#

but did it with gnoll progue

#

nonsense deck

#

you literally just draw cards until you kill them with garrotes and fireballs

shell thunder
#

@quaint aspen this deck is the nuts

#

ive never played against this deck so i dont understand why my opponents are just stunlocked when I play it

#

but it keeps doing it

shell thunder
#

notice anything odd about this decklist from feno

#

bit of PTSD KEKL

shell thunder
#

not that im out of ranked and just in like 2k legend, theres a lot of fun stuff going on i feel

#

theres a lot of fun dumb stuff in this game rn but its just thief rogue and mozaki and poison just kinda ruin the fun

#

like evolve shaman, big beast hunter

signal edge
#

yeah might take a break until they nerf those 2 decks

#

thief rogue is a tough matchup I can handle it because it's mostly board based

#

mozaki and poison tho 💀

#

hopefully it's just one more week for them left

quaint aspen
#

unless theres way less people in legend on na, but I doubt its a big difference

shell thunder
#

Honestly I think they should nerf garrote again

#

I feel the "draw your entire deck guild trader garrote" is just going to define rogue for awhile if they don't

#

The 3 cards deal 24 damage for 8 mana

signal edge
#

Rogue does lose incredible amounts of draw post rotation tho

shell thunder
#

but itll always be the looming win condition of rogue

#

maybe its just too weak post rotation because rogue doesnt have the draw to support it

#

but "drawing your deck and playing a 24 damage combo" i feel is going to be ever green in any rogue deck that has the ability to efficiently cycle

#

i mean theres barely any reason to try and talk about what the game looks like post rotation

#

but if they keep the "miracle" package of auctioneer and 0 cost spells

#

you can jsut go back to that, the format will be much slower allowing a card like auctioneer to do well

#

i just dont think "draw my deck and now i have a 24 burst combo" is going to be bad

signal edge
#

I don't mind garrote defining part of rogue tho

#

Only thing I ever hated was the cloak of shadows into scabbs chains

#

Maybe we can see some deathrattle rogue post rotation

shell thunder
#

i think garrote as a card kind of defines the speed of the format in a not great way

signal edge
#

Idk i think garrotes prevalence will tie somewhat to warriors existence

#

Or druid

#

If armor gain is more relevant, garrote will have a tough time

#

Also the card draw loss will insanely reduce the card draw speed

#

Combo speed*

#

And I'm not sure if one expansion is enough to make up for it

signal edge
#

Also

#

It's time to bring out the good ol' face hunter out and shank some poison rogues

quaint aspen
#

offically wild main

signal edge
#

Become a classic main now

shell thunder
#

the was mentioning nerfs coming tomorrow

#

pepeW please

#

scabbs actually has to go to 9

#

minions PepeHands

signal edge
#

did you see the new meta score from vs?

#

poison rogue overtook thief rogue in win rate

#

we have to kill that deck swiftly!

shell thunder
#

oh christ man

#

people started playing the gnolls

#

dude

#

why does rogue have umbral owl but bigger, and it comes down on turn 2

#

??????????????????

#

and why does it have vanish, except good

signal edge
#

I don't mind the gnoll even if it's op

#

fighting a thief rogue feels good

#

but poison rogue is incredibly toxic

shell thunder
#

O_O

#

bruh

#

LMFAO

#

NO WAY

#

that is disgusting

#

wait

#

isnt the report tomorrow

#

LMFAO

#

is the meta going to be 50% rogue

#

at 1k

#

LMFAO

#

DUDE

#

ITS ABOUT TO BE ROGUE TIER 1

#

EVERYTHING ELSE TIER 3

signal edge
#

yeah

#

VS report comes out in 10 hours

shell thunder
#

is this the strongest deck in HS history

#

i havent seen a meta like this before

#

but i havent been as active in the past

#

kinda checked out during galakronds awakening

even paladin on launch

shell thunder
#

i really hope blizzard realizes the consistent mistake of reprinting iceblock like effects

#

and trying to make "make a huge funny weapon" rogue decks

signal edge
#

I mean cloak is thematic af for rogue

#

I don't mind them making risks

#

kingsbane was fine during it's existence in standard

shell thunder
#

i dont think ice block should be in the game because the only place ice block goes is in decks that are trying to abuse it

#

these decks are always just "make giant shit and ignore your opponent"

signal edge
#

not true tho

#

ungoro mage utilised ice block

#

but it didn't rely on it

shell thunder
#

well when its a secret its a bit different

#

like, ice block is way better than cloak

#

cloak only goes in "ignore your opponent" decks

#

either way

#

i feel like a lot of changes are going to happen

#

i feel like they nerf gnoll cloak scabs, and like shank or something

signal edge
#

yeah but aren't those changes happening next week?

shell thunder
#

i heard theo saying "nerfs tomorrow hopefully"

signal edge
shell thunder
#

duno if he was being ironic

#

oh yeah flow ofc

#

i understand not wanting to "overnerf" cards

#

i feel like just nerfing it to 5

#

just to say "stop"

#

would be nice

signal edge
#

poison rogue and mozaki mage can be overnerfed

shell thunder
#

yeah

signal edge
#

they are very unhealthy

shell thunder
#

just awful decks

#

they should be +2'd on manan

signal edge
#

it's not the common "oh I hate thie deck because I lost to it"

#

it's literally watch your opponent not interact with you and play with himself

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

i also dont really like edwin being a pirate when rogues have infinite mana to combo him with smite

#

the interaction was cute when you had 10 mana

#

with 12 mana and prep its like.. christ

signal edge
#

I actually don't mind edwin smite

#

I think it's a very cool late game burst

shell thunder
#

its cool for me a few times

#

but when im playing a deck that cant apply pressure

#

its just like

#

a tad annoyingn

signal edge
#

and gives interactivity throughout the game where you check how big can his edwin get given his cards in decks left

shell thunder
#

maybe its just the gnolls do way too much damage

signal edge
#

idk feels like I can play around the card combo all the time

shell thunder
#

and it feels like ur always dead to edwin

signal edge
#

I don't think I get edwin smited often tho

#

simply because

#

I force pressure

#

so they have to drop an edwin way before scabbs comes online

#

and once edwin is gone you worry about smite shadowstep and wicked stabs

#

and they might throw shadowsteps on other miniions so

#

idk

#

matchup feel super winnable

#

and extremely rewarding once you beat a thief rogue

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

but like

#

poison rogue exists as well

#

and thief rogue also just randomly gets a lot of wins because of variance

#

because its burgle rogue all its cards are kind of like little puzzleboxes

#

sometimes you legit get random cards that instantly win the game

#

ive seen feno lose to shit like ramming mount off swash

#

ive lost to so much random shit like that lol

#

so like even if your favoured the deck is really good at just getting wins it doesnt deserve to win

#

like if ur paladin and ur opponent rogue gets the priest mindcontrol death rattle

#

ur so so so behind

#

its kinda like deck of lunacy

#

ur a deck of good cards, and you have a vEY VERY strong very dumb card that will win you games your deck cannot win

#

im very excited to see the nerfs either way

#

originally i expected cloak gnoll nerfs

#

but now i feel like a lot of stuff will get nerfed

#

im excited

#

a lot of cool decks exist

#

just the accidental perfect 30 from VS

#

literally ruined the meta

signal edge
#

the perfect 30 was made by J_ alex tho

#

that guy experimented a ton with the deck on his streams

#

even when thief rogue was considered tier 3/ tier 4

shell thunder
#

well, jalex put in a lot of work optimizing the list

signal edge
#

he kept improving it

shell thunder
#

ye

#

he was just starting to work in prep

#

i remember

#

he refined most of it

#

but then VS made it SUPER public and really suggested double prep to be core

signal edge
#

I think he was the first persaon to spot the maestra gnoll interaction as well

shell thunder
#

i remember some lists floating around idk if it was him

#

it was right when secret burgle rogue started to see play

#

some ppl were using maestra some werent

signal edge
#

Kinda scary how ppl are unaware of mozaki mages power

#

"oh the deck is not performing well rn, it shouldn't get nerfed"

#

"I play at gold and I always aggro the mozaki down"

shell thunder
#

a lot of great lines in here

#

The class sections in this report only specify some adjustments we’ve found that are necessary to somewhat survive in the current meta. Most classes are doomed and cannot adjust at all. The main message is that by playing a non-Rogue deck, you are putting yourself at a clear disadvantage.

#

This is game over for the format. Poison Rogue with Maestra and Wildpaw Gnoll is one of the most broken decks in the history of the game.

#

literally no words

signal edge
#

That video dude

#

So depressing

shell thunder
#

im so surprised dude

#

a 7 mana vanish, that ramps you at develops is OP

#

nobody at blizzard could have figured that one out

signal edge
#

It was intentionally powerful

#

I don't think anyone saw gnoll coming tho

signal edge
#

Alright

#

No patch notes today it seems 💀

shell thunder
#

💀

#

I will continue to say that aoe board clears shouldn't also make minions unless they are reasonably costed

#

It's obnoxious as fuck with shit like tamsin

#

Back with owllock when they play tamsin and make 2 imps and ur a board deck the game is actually just over

#

I dont like these "remove everything and develop" cards

signal edge
#

I don't mind them honestly, some are just overpacked for their cost

shell thunder
#

Yeah

shell thunder
#

im a professional hearthstone complainer

#

but i knew rogue was nonsense

#

i played like 10 games of that gnoll poison rogue and i was like "yeah this is actually just unbeatable"

signal edge
#

The 2 strongest decks merged into one

#

And became the ultimate deck

#

It's really oppressive but also funny at the same time

shell thunder
#

it is quite funny

shell thunder
#

Man if control warrior had draw. I feel like it could stand a chance against rogue

shell thunder
#

it might be one of those cases where a class is broken so you just start saying every card is OP

#

but man

#

cutlass is kind of an insane card

#

not only is it a pretty good weapon for fighting super early boards

#

it also just cheats mana

signal edge
#

Control warrior being meta would bring an interesting dynamic

shell thunder
#

card draw in the miniset 😳

signal edge
#

Yeah I don't like outrider's

#

It's so clunky when you wanna run bulwark and rokara

shell thunder
#

ye

signal edge
#

Yooo I got nohandsgamer

#

He was so tough to beat

signal edge
#

@shell thunder bro I tune into kiblers stream and he want maestra nerfed instead of gnoll

shell thunder
#

Maestra gnolls are a cool combo

#

Maestra gnolls that cost 0 mana on turn 2 are not cool

shell thunder
#

kibler is really good at pointing to the wrong problem in decks

#

i dont want to rag on specific people too much but it seems to be ver common

#

brain kibler finds a deck he doesnt like, whether its actually OP or counters his playstyle, and then will identify the wrong card

#

why is mozaki mage OP? too much draw!

#

not that incanters flow makes their deck not cost any mana

#

or mozaki as a card

signal edge
#

Is that a copy paste?

shell thunder
#

no lol

#

not this time

#

actual opinion

#

i like kibler he has cool decks

#

he just seems to misidentify why decks are OP

#

look at what draw has done to ramp druid

#

look how many versions of ramp druid there are

signal edge
#

That's a good thing

shell thunder
#

yeah i agree

#

the fact that there are 10 druid deck is great

#

but a lot of that is because they have guff with life tap

signal edge
#

Rogue drawing a lot wouldn't be an issue if scabbs didn't give so much gas on the right turn

shell thunder
#

poison rogue isnt OP because it has draw

#

poison rogue is OP because it has 2 ice blocks, a vanish that develops, infinite mana because cutlass and scabbs, and its impossible to apply pressure because gnolls

#

poison rogue is the perfect HS deck

signal edge
#

Yeah

#

Card draw made the game much more interesting

#

Just look at multicaster

#

In shaman

#

And mage

shell thunder
#

yep

signal edge
#

And honestly if you wanna play a control deck that fatigues the opponent

#

It's theoretically easier to do that

#

Since decks tend to draw a lot and often fairly close into fatigue range

#

It's just that mozaki and poison exist and have a tight grip on the late game

shell thunder
#

yeah

#

its just that there is so much lethality tied to draw

#

like you can fatigue a thief rogue pretty consistently

#

because they have infinite draw, but if you mutanus their edwin/smite they lose that burst

#

u can actually just run them out of stuff

#

unless they get stupid shit like the shuffle 3 primes

#

but like poison rogue draws everything, and then it gets access to a 24+ damage burst combo

#

and when mozaki mage draws most of its deck, it can do 70+ damage

#

like ive played a lot of fatigue game,s they can pretty fun sometimes

#

paladin, druid, dh, some of these games literally go down to last 5 cards

#

or straight fatigue depending on how aggressive they are drawing

signal edge
#

Yeah I love running a thief rogue down of resource

shell thunder
#

its just very hard because swashburlger always finds a way (:

signal edge
#

I play quest shaman so

#

I can counter the scamms

#

With my own scamms

shell thunder
#

yeah if u can flame their opener ur kinda winning

#

because u just make flame imps, and wolfs

#

and they have to scabbs

#

and then u just charged call it

signal edge
#

You should've seen the game vs nohands

#

He double yogged me and I still won

#

Crazy match

shell thunder
#

quest shaman is great

#

i hope they print more cheap good overload to make the deck still work post rotation

signal edge
#

Yeah just not great vs mozaki nor poison

#

I faced 3 mozakis in a row today

#

Always one turn short from killing them before they kill me

shell thunder
#

yeah turns out when u dont have to spend mana and when u draw 1 card u win the game is pretty good vs a control deck

shell thunder
#

😬

#

uhhh

#

25th is when nerfs happen

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

actual brutal announcement

signal edge
#

Aight imma keep jamming quest shaman in the meantime

#

I can live through this

shell thunder
#

dude people in the vs discord are fucking unbearable sometimes

#

LOL

shell thunder
#

banned again

queen wraith
#

i've been playing a homebrew secret pally in wild and it's been doing insanely well

shell thunder
#

Wtf

#

U got mysterious challenger in there

#

?

queen wraith
#

yea it's nice for when i dont draw well

#

it's won games when it works

#

basically just pure pally but with secret focus

#

I'm not sold on the rhyssa, i feel like it could be removed but idk what to replace it with

shell thunder
#

Love challenger

#

I love secrets

queen wraith
#

its such a fun deck

shell thunder
#

Yeah wild is kinda fun rn

#

Not sure if it's because it's actually fun or it's different

signal edge
#

I've been enjoying shadow priest in wild

#

Hyper aggro deck

#

But with so many mulligan possibilities

lucid violet
#

look at this big zapp pogO

shell thunder
#

Wtf

#

He's huge

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Low sample size wild tier list

shell thunder

More variety than standard

rewarded for being a man of the people

shell thunder
#

secret passage low key needs a nerf i think

#

low key

#

@lucid violet

queen wraith
#

ok hearthstone is bugged af right now

#

just had a secret passage that didn't return any of the cards i got from it back

signal edge
#

Gnoll itself has many bugs

queen wraith
#

yea

lucid violet
shell thunder
shell thunder
#

i watched dog see the reveal for the buddy system

#

he literally skipped thru the video

#

didnt watch it for a second

#

said "i dont get it, what does this system do"

#

LOL

shell thunder
#

Scabbs to 8, Gnoll to 6 mana 3/5, Cloak to 4, Sorc to 4, Rapid Fire to 2 mana Twinshot deal 2, Flow to 4, Rokara hero card to 10 armor, Raid the docks not 1st phase text nerfed but idk which one exactly and how(it is not shown

#

LEAKED NERFS

#

@signal edge @quaint aspen

signal edge
#

noo they nerfed docks

#

rokarra buff is pog tho

#

where did you get those leaks from btw? 👀

shell thunder
#

@signal edge

signal edge
#

ooooh

#

looks convincing

shell thunder
#

lol a bit

signal edge
#

I hope almost all of those nerfs ar ereal

#

just not the warrior quest

shell thunder
#

rip warrior

#

LMAO

signal edge
#

I mean

#

rokarra buff

#

btw

#

did you get free dust?

shell thunder
#

yeah lol

#

something about rewards for getting lokolar from packs or something

signal edge
#

I still haven't 😔

#

think eu gets dust later

shell thunder
#

i hope that beast hunter deck gets some time to shine

#

its really fun

#

did some friend games

#

ramp druid vs beast hunter

#

very fun

signal edge
#

not sure if thief survives the double nerf honestly

shell thunder
#

itll still be good

#

itll just be counterable by deck

#

cuz without this mozaki and poison rogue shit

#

handlock gets good again

#

which is a bad matchup but garrote will come back probably?

#

idk maybe ur right

#

what combo/control punishing deck is there

#

just handlock?

#

what beats handlock

#

ramp druid?

signal edge
#

shaman goes toe-to-toe with warlock

#

and control warr with rokarra and galv could burst thr warlock down

shell thunder
#

Still no draw

signal edge
#

I feel like

#

They should preemptively nerf tamsin hero card

#

I've got a bad feeling about her once nerfs go live

queen wraith
#

Why did rapid fire get hit?

signal edge
#

Quest odd hunter in wild is pretty dominant

shell thunder
queen wraith
#

guess my mmr isn't high enough in wid to go against players playing it then because i hardly ever encountered odd hunter lol

shell thunder
#

Yeah

signal edge
shell thunder
#

Nice

signal edge
#

Idk

#

It's gonna disrupt the fastest concedes in the west

#

Doesn't allow you to embrace your saltiness you know

shell thunder
#

Lol ye

shell thunder
#

feno: "this meta is boring now, every game is rogue and everybody knows how to play the deck now so you cant even beat the noobs with it anymore"

signal edge
#

I mean yeah

#

High legend meta sucks

#

Because ppl are trying to qualify for that master's tournament

shell thunder
#

it mega sucks when its 50% rogue :p

signal edge
#

Well it sucks that poison is so prevalent

shell thunder
#

also feno said exactly what i said a few weeks ago smilers

#

"If rogue doesnt kill you with gnolls, it kills you wish scabbs, if it doesnt kill you with scabbs itll kill you with edwin smite, if it doesnt kill you with edwin smite itll just discover a win, deck always finds a way to win"

signal edge
#

And that's not inherently bad

#

Just power level needs lowering

#

But the play pattern of the deck is very healthy and you have lots of agency in that matchup

#

We reached 50% boys

shell thunder
#

LOL

signal edge
#

Best BM emote in the game

#

Top deck lethal and remind your opponent of your skill

shell thunder
signal edge
#

Tournament realm?

shell thunder
#

Some dude posted it in twitter

#

P sure it's just the name they use for their PTR equivalent

signal edge
#

@shell thunder not sure why you defended kibler so hard on the vs discord tbh

#

I watched his video and it's so fried

#

nerginf guild trader and leaving cloak interaction the same

shell thunder
#

I mean yeah I think that's dumb lol

#

It's more so the people that were calling him a dumb person for having a different view on what should be nerfed

#

And also the people that were saying "I didn't even watch it and I know his take was dumb"

signal edge
#

he does have a consistent track record of suggesting nerfs that benefit his playstyle

#

let's nerf mozaki mana cost so my control deck can mutanus it

shell thunder
#

Ye

#

They should nerf mozaki though just to make sure these decks fuck off

#

I'd rather never have to deal with mozaki and progue

#

Just execute them

signal edge
#

devs mentioned they want them as niche decks in the patch notes

shell thunder
#

I love the line in the patch notes "we like poison rogue :)"

signal edge
#

I don't think so

#

there are ppl who really like the deck

#

so devs are just saying "we're not gonna delete, but it should stay niche"

shell thunder
#

That's cool, but the deck is flawed by design

#

I don't think HS should be designing decks for people who like poison rogue

#

By design its un interactive

signal edge
#

idk maybe they looked at kingsbane rogue

#

which was very liked

shell thunder
#

Yeah but with the current card pool it's just garbage

signal edge
#

and I mean kingsbane post leeching poison nerf

shell thunder
#

The current card pool is always going to guide the deck into cloak cloak scabbs garrote

signal edge
#

i think the most interesting comment was

#

Wildpaw Gnoll was intended to be a strong payoff for Maestra of the Masquerade’s fun effect, but it has been overperforming in this role

shell thunder
#

So many people saying "fix the bug"

#

Even though on reveal they called out the interaction

#

Lol

#

It is cool

#

I'm glad they didn't remove it

#

When rogue isn't 50% of the meta, maestra is cool

#

And between double agents and gnolls, thief Rogue has the tools to be a real deck

signal edge
#

yeah I think this is one of the coolest interactions in the game

shell thunder
#

Ye

#

I remember cooping my friends to legend before it was everywhere and it was always funny

#

Even watching feno play with it with the bad secret build, shit was fun

signal edge
#

I hope thief rogue survives

#

What I'm not looking forward to

#

Is if garrote becomes the go-to rogue deck again

shell thunder
#

Scabbs nerf fucks it too

signal edge
#

Yeah scabbs still op tho

shell thunder
#

Well yeah

#

The diff between 7 and 8 is actually infinite though

#

So many games I've played where thats the turning point

signal edge
#

Just the hero power itself helps a lot with combo setups

#

But yeah turn 7 is really impactful

shell thunder
#

It's weird that almost every deck feels like it power spikes on 7 lol

#

And scabbs perfectly lines up for it

signal edge
#

It foes feel like you start gaining the edge vs thief rogue around turn 7

#

And then they scabbs you

shell thunder
#

Ye

signal edge
#

Also

#

Feno looked drained af yesterday's stream lol

shell thunder
#

5+ hours a day of 60% rogue will do that

#

Lol

#

Esp when you just know the game is over turn 2/3 because gnoll gnoll

#

Its funny I was watching him "these top 100 players never calm down"

#

Dude panda gnoll gnolls him

#

And then queues up again into a 269 rogue

#

Literally the calmest rogue of all time

#

No passage

#

6/6 Edwin on turn 6

#

No scabbs

signal edge
#

Beast druid does look promising tho

#

Post nerf

#

Definitely crafting that deck

#

But I ain't crafting gidra

shell thunder
#

The gidra list is shit

#

I actually do not believe VS saying that's the best list

#

Everybody posting results with the deck is not playing that garbage anymore

#

Either way the new wave of "best decks" seem a lot more beatable than rogue rogue

#

It'll be refreshing

signal edge
#

It definitely feels that the deck has some wonky card slots

#

Needs refining

Can cut ram for troggs since they farm stuff like druid

But yeah idk I can't get this deck to work with any list

I just don't draw the combo pieces together

#

And have to just owl without elune

And then die

And then I can't stick a board for long enough to get anything more than draw 2 off composting

when is the battlegrounds patch going live?

oh come on

tuesday is when i can play ffxiv Sadge

blizzard making sure to release the patch so you won't play ffxiv

shell thunder
#

I like that every patch "fel dh looks the nuts"

#

And there's always an accidental counter deck that's tier 1

#

Lol

signal edge
#

yeah, ramp druid should keep fel dh in check

shell thunder
#

It's a fun deck I hope it's good

signal edge
#

You say it's fun

#

But

#

Then you don't draw kurt nor Jace

#

And you lose because the rest of your deck is bad

#

Not a fan when a deck has too much emphasis on very few cards personally
