So I literally just had this game:



I’m sure we’ve all had bigger minions, but the thing is, playing on my iPad, I can only play so many elementals in a turn, even when they are FREE lol. It was all I could do to throw out 10-15 minions every turn and call it day, with literally infinite money, and no time to really ponder over triples and prizes.

I also played a dude in another game that had a setup almost identical to OPs picture, a whole board full of 10000 stat braggarts… but with no divine shield. And he got easily wiped by my full board of poison lol.

Fixed!

They’ve gotta have stats on the number of people that quit lobbies right? I would loving love to see the stats on which anomalies are quit the most.

I finally got a “unused money carries over” game. It was pretty interesting but I was just totally guessing at when to strategically save money. Not sure how to develop a strategy or meta for a mode you only see 1/100 games.

Just got domed for 40+ damage on turn 11 against an Undead player with Recurring Nightmares. I got 6th with double golden Tethys, double Blade Collector, and a golden Courier on board :shepface:

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Totem Shaman feels like a real sleeper hit for me, rode it at 73% WR up to D4 even before the big warlock nerfs (which felt like the worst matchup).

Totem Shaman has been consistently solid for quite a while; the main issue with it is that there’s nothing really new about it, so it’s kind of boring. It plays no Titans cards and almost no Festival of Legends cards, just Magatha and sometimes Backstage Bouncer. Its only big boosts this year came from the Core Set refresh.

I’ve been meaning to mess around with a variant that uses Golganneth and an overload/Horn of the Windlord package, just for some variety, but it’s never really seemed like the most fun thing to play at any given moment.

Did they change how Magnetic works in battlegrounds? The Foe Reaper and the Beatboxer should be roughly the same size here, but the Beatboxer is only getting the base stats of attached mechs

Recurring Nightmare needs to read: “Summon a tier 1 Recurring Nightmare”

It’s ridiculous that you can kill 15 of the drat things but still take 48 damage because their last minion had 6 of them jnside.

Recurring Nightmare buff is baffling but I guess they seem to be buffing 7-stars in general also. I hope it's just something minor like a stat buff to compensate for Primus going away.

I like that they're adding back Drakkisath and Tavern Tempest though

this happened to quite a few cards they were toying with in testing and accidentally pushed live. timber wolf became a 1/2, swipe went to 3 mana, glaivezooka gave a random friendly minion +2 attack, some others I've forgotten, let me look them up... dragon's breath to 5 damage, and jinyu waterspeaker to 4/6. dragon's breath, swipe, and glaivezooka are reverted; timber wolf, firelands portal, and jinyu waterspeaker are here to stay.

All three of the Wildseeds, as well as the Wildseed weapon, have gotten nerfed. I wonder if that’s the record for most nerfs on a card/mechanic. The Caverns Below got hit twice, The Demon Seed… three or four times?

I guess the price of Hunter having such a generically strong, non-synergy-based suite of cards is that you have to start nerfing stuff that looks pretty innocuous in isolation.

…I kind of feel like Trial by Fire needs to be reverted. That’s a classic example of a card that wasn’t seeing play because its deck was bad, not because it itself was bad, but they buffed it and now it’s off the frigging chain.

Only tiers 1-4 is a weird one. Especially when you have some minion types that have key combo pieces in 4 and others that need 5 or 6. Like Beast has Banana Slamma and Rattler but mechs have, uh, the 5 damage guy, I guess?

That’s the end of hound hunter. I didn’t think the previous round of nerfs warranted the level of drop off it’s had but now it’s had its flat out been castrated; and a lot of slower control decks (and probably some faster ones) will be thrilled. Secret hunter will probably still be fine.

Totem shaman is looking like a good new (old) aggro choice. We’ll probably see an uptick in Paladin too. One less deck that can pull an otk straight outta it’s rear end will suit a ton of decks.

…Ehhhh. Hunter still has a lot of very strong cards. There’s a reason it could play Renathal with no real dip in card quality. The new Companions is definitely weaker, but you can still set up burst kills with Selective Breeder and it takes some of the sting out of drawing Krush too early.

What this change does is give control decks more of a cushion, since the burst kill requires more setup instead of being pretty much automatic as long as you haven’t drawn Krush. Things like Priest and Blood DK have more of a window now. You might see Always a Bigger Jormungar come back into the deck to give it more reach, now.

The Wildseed change seems very unnecessary though. Might see that one get reverted sooner rather than later.
