This, but removing the Priest, Aggro Priest, and the Aggro Druid is rare as gently caress. (I've literally played against it twice.)

Everything else is Spooky Mage and Ramp.

I play against them a decent amount, its bizarre and at this point I just mulligan as if the druids aggro every time Im in shithouse legend though, running between 5k and 8k

And now Ive played 3 implocks in a row.

Brann should never have come back to the core set and it's not like there's some weird reason why. He limits design space and is too powerful but it seems like Team 5 enjoys the game being a swingy mess more often than not.

I guess I read the runestones patch notes wrong. I was under the impression only battlegrounds stuff would be purchasable with runestones but no, now everything in the shop except for regular packs has this mobile game garbage currency attached to it. Not like you could buy a lot of stuff with gold before but this is what I would call "Not a great look".

EDIT: Yea so everything that used to have a $ price is now...runestones.

I see that you can get runestones from bg quests, so that's something. I dunno, maybe the standard reward track won't have any bg stuff anymore which would be good. I'd imagine they'd keep the big and merc stuff on it though to promote playing multiple modes

My playing generally hits the same trajectory. After a month or so of a new expac mostly playing standard but then swap to bgs because the meta gets stale for whatever reason.

Yes the way they design sets/cards/rotations doesn't really seem like they have much of an overarching design plan. Like I'd imagine that they would lay out exactly the archetypes they want to push for a given year and set the core cards with that in mind.

First game against a Jailer opponent they played a minion with taunt and even though there was no indicator that my minions or hero had any valid targets I could still attack face. Well done Blizzard.

Immune negates Taunt. That's how it's always been. Why? Well you see Immune isn't just "Prevents all damage" It prevents your opponent from performing any action that would target the creature. Since taunt requires you to target it, Immune negates the taunt, so you can go face.

Edit: Nathanos is completely broken. If your deathrattle minion has any negative status (silence/frozen) Nathanos gains that status as does the deathrattle you get in your hand. lmao. Good job QAing your code Team 5, jfc.

lol, let me tell you all about going 13-0 to Legend with Fel Relic Demon Hunter. As soon as you can leverage Relic of Dimensions the games over, you're ability to high roll is insane. That 13-0 was 1 Mage, 3 Hunters, 2 Priests, 1 Warlock, 2 Rogues, 2 Druids, 1 Demon Hunter and 1 Shaman, a pretty decent spread of classes. I Stopped last night at Rank 2 3 stars and finished tonight.

yep, can confirm first hand that trying the dr. boom lab experiment puzzles will likely brick your game and you'll then need to contact blizz support for them to manually unlock your account. i too was trying to catch up on old content and multiple time in previous patches tried to finish the ones i was missing only to have the game lock up in an endless loop.

fwiw, the rest of the solo content seems to be ok still and i didn't have any troubles with the other adventures (so far).

What the gently caress would even cause that?

I was just thinking of going back and doing some of the heroic stuff I missed but yikes

Speaking of druids, I was playing a completely ridiculous Yogg Druid deck in Wild that can only win off Yogg yolos. Last game I had 28 spells and yogg threw out two yogg boxes, the Warrior conceded before everything resolved :(

For Beast Hunter I can see them nerfing the Bear wild seed to 4 toughness and reverting the buffs on Harpoon and Pet Collector but I'm not sure the deck actually needs to be nerfed, it's biggest strength is consistency with all the tutoring. I guess turn 4 Hydralon's don't feel great though.

Edit: haha beast hunter has a favorable matchup against every meta deck besides aggro druid and naga/bless priest. yikes.

I'd say it absolutely should be taken into account. If a deck has favorable matchups against everything the design team has failed at either making other compelling decks that are competitive, or are bad at considering overall power level of standard in general when designing expansion cards.

I think it's more the latter than the former.

I hadn't heard about this but when he pulls Hydralodon the arms don't get rush so I would assume whatever the issue was is fixed.

I mean, rules as written that makes sense. The hydralodon gets rush, but the arms are separate creatures and so don't get that buff, and the battlecry doesn't trigger so the arms don't get rush that way. It's annoying, but I don't think it's a bug.

Yea that's what I was saying.

I was assuming the bug was iceman giving rush to things it shouldn't, like the hydra arms.

Edit: lol iceman. Leaving that.

You two are conflating what the bug is. The hydra arms shouldn't get rush when pulled out from a wing commander hydra, which is what currently happens. I was taking a guess that maybe it was giving them rush when it shouldn't be, but I don't think anyone's actually said what the bug IS/WAS.

The only thing google's giving me is a "bug" with lake thresher and some texture bugs

Any strats against Implocks and Priests? Think I'm just bad at the game :D

You have to mulligan hard for the low end of your deck and hope you can curve out while still working towards building threats. It's difficult. I'm 3-2 against implocks, aggro druids are more or less the same. Priest I haven't ran into yet but hope youve got a devouring swarm and use your school teacher's to try and get another one or two so you can snipe their giant nagas with the spiders.
