Nybble posted:lol, this rips. Turn 1 is a bit tight with the shortened timer on mobile, but you can definitely get the OTK on desktop. speaking of "better on Desktop" - the Duos Battleground is actually really good if you use the pings and icons to communicate with your partner. It's really well thought out, there's even some indicators for Partner Double/Triple minions if you aren't paying attention to their screen, so it might be okay even passively paying attention. Definitely give it a shot, especially if regular BG is a bit boring. Nybble fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Pro tip for pings on mobile in Duos: You have to use a two-finger tap for the menu to come up. Also my partner came up with a mechanism to print massive minions every round with golden Orc-estra, Brann, and the Naga/Dragon spell craft to activate battlecries. They were creating 300/300s every round and sending them over to me. Absurd

EDIT: Wrong thread I will say though, I’ve made my own spin on elemental shaman and it’s been quite fun playing and beating top tier decks with it. Shudderblock into Kalimos for 18 face damage never gets old when I can pull it off

don't think i'll play 32 mini cards this week lol. insane they did this. probably won't win 10 games either. didn't finish all 3 last week either. if i did i wouldn't play 32 loving minicards. also, just remove the double zilliax module. change it to... i don't care. all it's there is to combo with stealth and be unfun.

Whether it’s good or not, losing matches because a Stealth Zillax doubled itself then got Windfury is incredibly uninteresting. There’s so few meaningful ways to interact.

I'll probs finish up all the quests in an hour or so. Takes like 3-4 hours total? Just about doubles the time to do them. The win 10 in Ranked is bullshit for people who don't have good decks. Anyway have a new deck: ### DB DK Head # Class: Death Knight # Format: Wild # # 2x (1) Irondeep Trogg # 2x (1) Staff of the Primus # 2x (2) Cult Neophyte # 2x (2) Dirty Rat # 2x (2) Distressed Kvaldir # 2x (2) Down with the Ship # 2x (2) Far Watch Post # 2x (3) Chillfallen Baron # 2x (3) Coldlight Oracle # 1x (4) Helya # 1x (4) Maw and Paw # 2x (4) Tomb Traitor # 1x (5) Loatheb # 1x (5) Magatha, Bane of Music # 1x (6) The Headless Horseman # 1x (7) Mutanus the Devourer # 1x (7) Patchwerk # 1x (8) The Primus # 2x (11) Chained Guardian # AAEBAfHhBAj6DqbvA+bkBZP7Be3/BYuSBr2xBq/0Bgv4B/foA+GkBIf2BPX3BYL4BfL4Bbv5Bev/BdCeBtGeBgAA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

Imo it should be nerfed/killed because that kind of deck just shouldn't exist in the game. Plenty of other fun and interesting combos in the game.

I had been grinding a Plague Deathknight deck towards legend and constantly bouncing between ranks 1-3 in diamond, and then I decided to just craft the last couple of rares for a Zilliax Rogue deck and hit legend in only an hour or two more. It's really hard to deal with for other players outside of racing for lethal and hoping the Rogue doesn't don't draw enough of the right components in time. Killing Zilliax is a lot easier said than done when it's not only ~7 health with stealth and elusive, but also has reborn so killing it just resets the clock on its growth until you do it a second time. If you don't kill it twice in one turn the Rogue player might get a reborn sparkbot to give it another shot anyway, if not divine shield. The Zilliax will usually hit the board on turn 4 (3 with coin) too, so however you plan to kill it needs to not cost much mana on top of drawing it early. The most absurd part of the deck is definitely pulling a windfury sparkbot, it's not consistent but if you pull it the game is just over. If you don't want the deck concept to be completely shut down then the windfury sparkbot would have to be replaced at the very least. Stalling out the perfect draw scenarios by increasing the mana cost of the "double attack" Zilliax component would probably help a lot without killing the deck completely, Zilliax being on the board already when you hit 4 mana is pretty hosed.

I've lost a few to the rogue deck and sap was the problem for me. Without untargeted removal a taunt minion is your best defence but they can just sap it, twice in a row in my case. I always thought sap was a druid card, had to look it up just now to see that it's a rogue one.

Balance changes sound like a good idea. Its got a bit like solitaire where the decks are fun but there isn't enough counter play. Just hope there are still some fun decks left afterwards.

Weirdly this month I ended up enjoying the power and simplicity of the current meta decks that I ended up jamming dragon priest enough that I accidentally hit legend with it and now (less successfully) have been running painlock post legend. So by personal metrics it’s been a great meta. Fine with getting a bunch of refund dust and some new things to experiment with next month though. Just hope they don’t manage to leave something strong untouched by mistake and have to do an immediate 3rd round of changes

I agree with this. I think the meta would really benefit from a full balance patch, so while this is daunting, I think it’s long term very healthy

This meta isn’t nearly as bad as Stormwind, but that’s a low bar That blue post is interesting because it indicates a complete philosophical adjustment rather than tinkering around the edges and hitting outliers. Maybe we can finally get off the “nerf the best deck, everything else moves up in rank” carousel for an expansion or two. I wonder if we’ll see any complete reworks as opposed to number adjustments. They very rarely do that, but it’s tough to imagine them getting where they say they want to be by just turning their usual knobs.

bravesword posted:This meta isn’t nearly as bad as Stormwind, but that’s a low bar Agree, Stormwind was too linear with the feed-forward quest rewards and the solitaire nature of them. I feel like they have a lot of interesting and theoretically balanced cards in the current Standard meta, but maybe too much variance? Even if I have a 55% win rate, the 45% of the time losing to repeated Sunset Volleys from tentacles or two turn 4 7/7s from Forge of Wills, or an Odyn Warrior that curved their early armor and removals... it just feels bad. Another advocate here for Casual Wild.

I wonder if they'll do : Wheel of Death - damages both players until one dies - so they can race you for health and it only works as a counter to extreme control decks. Rogue zilliax - only stealth for one turn. Reno hero - wipe both sides or something thematic like leave one minion on each side (like an actual standoff). Maybe remove limitation on next turn play or change to 'you can only play 1 minion' vs only room for one.

GTO posted:I wonder if they'll do : My big bet for wheel of death; make it so it triggers on the OPPONENTS turn, not yours (extra turn to counter, gets rid of Drakkari shenanigans in wild). Reno yeah, I'm expecting 'clear both sides' would be a fair thing. Timewinder, I'd expect either more dragons to activate, cost increase, or both. It's too easy to fire off. For the wild changes, I am absolutely hoping that Time Warp and (possibly) Ice Block are once per game effects; And that the effect of Shadestone Skulker should, realistically, only trigger once, even with Snowfall in place. I'm not sure Naval Mine alone is the right card to target. (Comedy option, though, make Naval Mine target both heroes). Floop should probably refresh, rather than gain mana, so you don't have stupid 70 mana turns. Olpainless fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Apr 24, 2024 |

GTO posted:I wonder if they'll do : The deck already runs a bunch of the magnetic spider bots to allow for swinging to clear taunts or hit face before stealthing back up, so that wouldn't do a whole lot. The spark bots can roll non-duration stealth too. Making wheel of death inflict damage instead of killing the player makes the identity of the card a lot more boring. I would assume that the simplest nerf would be to extend the turn timer before it kills you, but that would actually require their art department to redo the wheel for the animation so that seems unlikely. I'm kind of curious if it would still be a remotely viable card if it destroyed the other player's deck too instead of killing them.
