So Zephrys gives my opponent lethal and my opponent starts trading all over the board instead of going face. I eventually won. Brian Kibler's first rule: Always look for lethal.

Has anyone gotten a Finley hero power for a banned tribe btw? I assume they thought of that and I've picked him a few times and not gotten anything like that but I was thinking if they were gonna gently caress that up that'd be how

I just want them to add pirates to the ban pool tbh. Absolute garbage unless you get a direct synergy hero.

Hooktusk should get a nerf too. IDK if making it cost 1 would be too harsh but I can't think of anything else other than making it not discover, and then it's almost the same as Maly.

Im not good enough at battlegrounds to know if it's the real deal strat or not but I got absolutely hosed on by the first arenna I saw who on turn 2 had no minions and presumably just refreshed 3 times turn 1 and 4 times turn 2. She lost maybe fifteen HP those first five or so fights and then steamrolled an obscene winstreak

I tried my hand at making my own deck after using deck lists for DH, druid, and drat near everything else. I was playing with quest warlock but it always felt like I needed a perfect hand/draw for it to work right, so I combined it with Galakrond and made it Highlander for laughs.

It works... surprisingly well. There’s an answer for almost anything you play against, and only DH has given me real trouble because they’re so much faster. I didn’t have a chance to play much today but I think I went 5/2 with it over the course of the day.

her hero power lets you turn tokens into token generators for extra gold, or tokens or other useless minions into potential triples. Staying at low tavern tiers to generate endless giant saurolisks is a popular strategy. Also her hero portrait is tier 1

Basically, if you level up with her early, you've played her wrong. Stay on 1, get Saurolisks, Wrath Weavers, and deathrattles, token if no choices. Hero power tokens and deathrattles for more Saurolisks, Weavers, and deathrattles. Once you have golden Saurolisks and Wrath Weavers, level up to 3 to get Goldgrubbers on golden upgrade, 4 eventually for golden Goldgrubbers. Never move past 4, laugh as your board outscales everything except Poison Divine Shield Murlocs

I always level with her and I don't think I've lost a single game. In the late game you can buy high tier minions just to discover the ones that you need from lower tiers.

Technically it’s a nerf because it slows down synergies with other DH cards, but 4 damage on a 2 mana card that can be split in half is still very very good.

I think this is more of an indirect nerf of Altruis (and to a lesser extent Glaivebound Adept) than a direct nerf of Twin Slice.

Don't forget Satyr Overseer.

I like that they've basically come around to the thing that everyone playing realized on day one; that Demon Hunter as conceived is fine but Demon Hunter as released is a hilarious disaster for the game. Nerf 'em all, let God sort them out.

Not sure what they were thinking giving this adventure deck almost no playable cards on T1 or T2.

also the writing isn't even campy fun this time around. It's just bad rhyming exposition.

Warrior is really good against DH

so by nerfing DH and reducing the number of people who'll play it they also make Warrior slightly less good overall

Yeah basically Armoursmith+Skipper farms demon hunter which has a lot of early burst but burns out really fast, especially after the nerfs to their midrange demons which made them unplayable

This change honestly just puts Warrior alone at tier 1, the class has been targeted for the last two months yet just keeps improving its matchups with refinement

I feel like a good nerf for Hooktusk would be to not allow Tier 1 units to be targetable by the hero power (which makes sense, there's no such thing as a tier one lower than Tier 1). Might be too aggressive a nerf though.

I am stuck at diamond 6 in wild. Odd DH is not doing it for me. I keep eating poo poo to Reno on curve or bomb hunter. Is there another wild deck that’ll push through? I’m not expecting the nerfs to do much to the wild meta.

Vicious Syndicate just put out a Wild Data Report a couple of days ago, if any of those decks gives you any ideas.

Pirate Warrior can have some insane burst and early pressure, but it’s also kind of hampered by not being the most consistent deck. Especially since it doesn’t run any removal at all.

Also playing 6 fights in a row with the same deck is kinda lame. I'm starting to see why this was free content. I'd be pretty pissed if I paid for this.

Also the final fight is the real bullshit.
