It's much worse. Snowfall was the only card Shaman was built around, because it was a board lockdown plus a wincon all in one... that you could repeat up to four times. By removing the "wincon" part of the equation you end up with a deck that can't win anymore (surprising, I know!). It's pretty decent at losing slowly, though!

Also as a part of this, the evolve package has turned out not to be good enough in the meta. Mage, hunter and druid all basically don't care and they're the Classes That Matter right now.

you should be happy - priest is back to tier 1.

Feature Update: In-Game Reporting

In-game player reporting is now live for all players. You can now report friends, current opponents, and past opponents from the friends list menu. Grounds for reporting include inappropriate names, inappropriate chats, and inappropriate gameplay. Now we can all work together to make sure the tavern is a safe and inviting place for everybody to play!

hmmm... maybe this will work for me finally...

After finishing the puzzle, I can not help but wonder if one of the next expansions will add an Renathal-like card that expands your board space to 10.

more like with bgs, it'll likely cost us instead of being a card. only $19.99 per season for three extra spaces - what a steal, think of the value (and def. not pay to win, no no, they would never do that)!

someone just used that minion that repeats the last battlecry you played to repeat theotar. They obviously didn't get to choose and my order in the court got swapped for their sire denathrius. they immediately conceded. weird, crazy, wonder why

I can't imagine running that minion alongside theotar. That just sounds like an accident waiting to happen

they probably thought it'd work like when you use theo + brann. good for you though!

while getting theo absolutely sucks, and him being neutral means you see him absolutely everywhere, the disruption that he brings is still a better thing for the game than some of the other cards / tech they have printed in these recent sets. things have gotten so bad, mage now has an official counter minion secret that they can run 2x of, and that's even after running the okani with brann package as well.

you're gonna need at least 19 armor for the combo to work (tony, jailer, starfish) and it doesn't always work, but when does ... :wave:

you have a backup with zok and alchemist so if you instead can make a huge hp minion stick, just flip the stats on the next turn for an otk.

Am I the only one conceding as soon as the opponent is revealed to be a blood DK? I have no desire to play through a 35 minute game. Had runs where I had to concede 5 games in a row, but I'd rather not climb than spend 3 hours playing 5 games.

nope you're not alone... reminds me of barrens priest.

as it stands right now, it seems that most of the game modes are busted: standard is being dominated by dk (see pic below), wild is being overrun by druid (due to twig, sphere and instrument tech), and arena is bookended by cards such as pack the house and also dk once again.



all in all, looks like a great start to the new expansion. but how about them new signature cards eh?

It takes longer to get them to 0 level and some games you can't afford to hold on to them that long.

No surprise on the DK nerf, they should have done that in the first go round.

eh? they should've been hitting dk cards instead of just chipping away at other decks (which still aren't really competitive compared to dk) and that "nerf" is probably actually a buff because it'll just further help bad [dk] players mulligan better.

Yeah I like this expansion except for Blood DK. They have way too much health and they can answer to seemingly anything with the amount of discover they have.

that's pretty much this expansion. festival of death knights. hopefully it is fixed soon, but this last patch wasn't it.

on another note, tony druid is now putting in some work, making more folks break things and punch walls. the latest development has been the inclusion of mosher and attorney, which basically act like a one sided board clear that leaves you with a big boy to smash their face with, or as another finisher after jailer is down since the mosher will be immune (to most removal). very satisfying to use. something like the following:

it really depends what bracket you're in, but dk is all over ranked. unfort. it worse as you climb, quick snapshot of just the last day in americas region:



it's gotten better only slightly, with dk dropping off by a few points but it's still dkstone (except at the lowest and highest ranks). ymmv depending on where you play, but safe to say, it's still dkstone until they figure out a way to unfuck the other decks or take a big bat to dk. to me, the bs with dks is the same as the brain damage and frustration with control priest, just wrapped up in a slightly different package. basically this:

three card nerfs: overseer frigidara from 5 attack to 3, rowdy fan from +4 attack to +3, twig of the world tree got the expected nerf to "refresh your mana crystals"

wide variety of buffs. lots for warrior, including verse riff/bridge riff/voone/power slider, and thori'belore can now be revived infinitely
