poo poo, they really gutted out poor S'theno. At least cope of quel'thalas is still usable.

Must be some incredibly broken interaction in testing for the next expansion. I think that Zero cost DH/Warrior spell really put her over the edge (again)

Was Hope of Quel’Thalas really that big of a problem in Standard? I never see it in Wild unless i'm the one playing it.

Maul is the only paladin card I’m not sure about, because the deck already has such good 3 drops. Might experiment with dropping it.

It's weird, because it's not an enormous nerf but I also don't understand why they're doing it at all. Maybe Hunter has a weapon theme or attack power theme next expansion that would cause this to be busted or something, no clue

It's part of some Hunter decks that are currently doing well, and I guess they wanted to touch the cards they intentionally overtuned before they touch the cards like Hollow Hound that are actually the most powerful plays.

It’s a generally strong card that got a lot stronger with hollow hound because buffing the rush/lifesteal/cleave minion pays off in dividends It’s mostly (alongside the pozzik change) a preemptive nerf to make sure hunters don’t dominate once pure Paladin takes a backseat

Hilarious - Playing Mech Paladin (Seems to have survived the changes, if anything it's better now) and got some absolute salt from a guy playing, of all things, Dew Process Mill Druid, a deck whose entire concept is 'Be a massive oval office to everyone you meet'.

Yea, as soon as I realize I'm playing a mill druid I'll usually concede. They're just not fun to play against. I've got better things to do with my time.

Ran into a Mill Warlock the other day in bronze Wild with Shellfish and that deathrattle copy guy and a Tamsin? I forget, I drew like 20 cards in one turn though, was actually kind of funny as long as I never see it again.

This is near the top of the hsreplay stats for d5+ last 3 days. Was new to me, played 2 won 2, opponents seem not to know what to expect. Feels like it could be refined a bit. Doomkin is a gameplan ruiner for your opponent. Mull for ramp, Doomkin and whomper. You don't really want your low cost minions at the start. ### Thaddius Druid # Class: Druid # Format: Standard # Year of the Wolf # # 2x (0) Aquatic Form # 2x (0) Innervate # 1x (1) Sir Finley, Sea Guide # 1x (2) Astalor Bloodsworn # 2x (2) Attorney-at-Maw # 2x (2) Chitinous Plating # 2x (2) Fanboy # 2x (3) Hedge Maze # 2x (3) Wild Growth # 1x (4) E.T.C., Band Manager # 1x (2) Coroner # 1x (6) Rivendare, Warrider # 1x (8) Ozumat # 2x (4) Widowbloom Seedsman # 2x (5) Death Blossom Whomper # 2x (5) Nourish # 1x (6) Doomkin # 2x (8) Mish-Mash Mosher # 2x (9) Flesh Behemoth # 1x (10) Thaddius, Monstrosity # 1x (10) The Jailer # AAECAbSKAwblsASm7wTipAXCpQX9xAXOgAYMiZ8Erp8E2p8ErsAE1d0Ewd8E+uIEje8E1JUFu5gF1sYF7YAGAAEDvM4E/cQF5JwF/cQFxaUF/cQFAAA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Edit: I did not see the post above me!

It can be hard, but pick a deck and stick with it. Really learn it, learn the matchups, and post replays because other people will identify different lines of play. And if you start to tilt, take a break. Don't try to win a game then quit, don't play n more games, just walk away for a bit. That helped me a lot.

It’s best not to jump around from deck to deck in a play session. Pick something that you think is going to be your best bet, and stick with it. As packrat said try and learn the different matchups and really understand how the deck plays. Edit: and read the VS report and use their deck lists, don’t try and home-brew your own

Was in the same place with Big DH, took me a long while and shitload of frustration until something finally clicked and I reached dad legend last month... and right now I'm at the same place with hound hunter. Theoretically I know how this deck works, it's like my brain gets dumb anytime I play it.

I've been working on getting up to 60 with Death Knight this weekend and the nerfs apparently have made Blood DK very strong. I don't ladder so I'm not sure if it is everywhere there but it feels like you have to try hard to lose with it against most decks.

Pure pally is still very good and with spell DH gone Blood is by far the strongest deck vs pure pally so it’s going to have a strong presence. Not seeing it at all really at legend though - I’m at the bottom of the barrel though in the 3000s. I think at the spot I am it’s just people having fun rather than trying to get as high as possible.

Relatedly, I heard the internal MMR has a floor at 6k, and the lobby difficulty lined up with that in my experience on my initial climb: A difficulty spike as you get away from 6k, and then roughly the same difficulty, or a very gradual increase, for the next couple of thousand MMR.

I actually forgot how many super solid cards Paladin has gotten over the past few years. To list a few stand outs from each non-Standard set: Ashes: The Libram package, Murgur, Hand of A'dal Scholomance: Barov, First Day of School Madness: Lothraxion, Yrel, Oh My Yogg, Hammer of the Naaru Barrens: Cariel, Conviction, Sword of the Fallen, Knight of Anointment, Galloping Saviour Stormwind: City Tax, the Handbuff package, Righteous Defence Valley: Lightforged Cariel, Stonehearth Vindicator Point being I'd day one try Pure Paladin, assuming they don't hit the payoff cards.
