Druid is overplayed compared to its actual strength right now. Wait until next week and you will see a different story

Been playing Prestor Druid with the new miniset cards (Dew Process, Attorney-at-Maw). Not sure what the most optimal list is but honestly most of the cards in this deck don't matter anyway.

This thread has such an irrational hatred for druid lol, beast hunter is like 1/5th of all decks on ladder and everyone is still complaining about post-nerf guff for some reason

Format needs more lethality so badly. Every deck being a giant minion pile is so boring.

#2 could be done by paladin when the game launched, so I'm not sure how indicative of anything it is.

Why would they nerf it? It's a completely reasonable aggro deck.

I played that list a bit, seems good. Shaman's zoo/burn deck is starting to get interesting. I need more reps with it, but it seems like it can get under paladin, burn out warlock, and concede against warrior.

This deck is extremely legit and only really struggles against control warriors who know the matchup and focus on armoring up. Highly recommend people to try it - barely costs any dust and is very high power level.

there are at least ways to counter (or at least play around) these things though

with an OTK out of hand literally the only option is “kill them first”

Or armor up?

I’m so happy about this, this has probably been the most destructive expansion for the long-term health of the game since they did the Stormwind quests

I’m not sure this is how HL Warriors are winning games?

It’s weird to me because the last balande patch did a pretty good job at actually reasonably nerfing a bunch of power decks. That’s good! It opened up the meta a lot! But they barely touched HL Warrior, and now that’s the top of the meta. Predictably.

They hit all the board clear but none of the lategame value. Only way to beat it now is to go under. This is why guaranteed lethality is healthy for a format

I've actually been having quite a bit of fun with the Hero Power/Spell Damage/Dragon Druid deck. It has a lot of wacky plays available, it can push enough damage fast enough to pressure Warrior, and it's flexible enough that it doesn't feel like there are any truly hopeless matchups. The biggest problem is that, as it's playing three different "packages" that don't have a lot of overlap, you run the risk of drawing, i.e., spell damage payoff cards without any enablers, or not enough Dragon cards to trigger all the "holding a Dragon" bonuses, but I've found this to be surprisingly uncommon. (Chia Drake feels so much less anemic as a 3/5; it's unbelievable.)

Agreed, I love this deck. Aviana gives it at least a fighting chance when games go long, too. Feels like it has a good matchup spread.

The problem is the lack of lethality in the format. If you could OTK the warrior then they wouldn't be able to sit around and milk all that value. But they killed wheel so oh well.

Toyrantus seems like a good card not only lategame but also on curve, especially if you ramp into it. Rare to see a card that is good tempo and lategame value all in one.

wtf

standard is so weird

Secrets aren't exactly strong at the moment, and it's very possible anti-secret tech will be in the mini-set if they think the secret package is strong enough to require it.

Zarimi Priest isn’t fun to play. It’s mindlessly throwing down creatures and hoping you don’t get wiped, which is even worse now because the nerf means you don’t have access to tempo zarimi plays where you just want the card/ramp/board instead of a finisher kill.

Sloppy posted:

They overshot bad on the Zarimi nerf, I don't think he's been online once in aggro priest for me since the nerf (in like 30 games). Going to cut him, not sure what for yet though.

According to the new data reaper report, Zarimi priest is the strongest deck in the game right now. You need to run Clay Matriarch after the nerfs, but that's all that it needs.
