Oenis posted:If they're hitting neutrals it sounds like they're going after denathrius? Maybe remove the initial 5 damage, or make it infuse 2 instead of 1? Or they could also maybe go after kael, but I haven't found him to be that backbreaking. Going after my boy theotar would be counter intuitive, it feels like it's the only thing you can use to defend yourself against the combo pieces, even if it's mostly used in mirror matches. Other than the ubiquitous legendaries (Brann/Kael/Denathrius/Theotar) I think the only other neutral card that sees major play is Insatiable Devourer; maybe they nerf the infused form to eat a random adjacent minion instead of both?

I still think Insatiable Devourer is a problem card. It heavily punishes one of the only ways to play around Denathrius (playing big stats to absorb the damage). It also makes Druid’s supposed weakness of lack of hard removal completely irrelevant, since now playing big minions against them results in a devastating tempo swing as they gain a 20/20 minion that clears your biggest stuff

peer posted:i think the fact that devourer is barely played outside druid indicates it's not in itself the problem, but rather druid's ramp-on-demand and endless boards of x/1s with rush I disagree about it being barely played, it’s a 2-of in both shaman and big hunter. I don’t think it’s as egregious in those classes since it’s easier to position your board against them compared to druid, but it’s still the most widely ran Nathria neutral card that isn’t a legendary

AnacondaHL posted:In general minor changes do way more than players think they do, but even moreso in this meta. Just one -1/-1 change killed Imp Warlock, for example. Imp Warlock’s hardly dead, it’s just in a much worse position in the meta. It’s always struggled against mage and edwin miracle rogue crushes it. It’s still one of the strongest counters to ramp Druid and still does well against most of the other decks, making it still a good deck to hit legend with, but when you get to the ranks where it’s all Mage/Druid/Rogue it’s better to run aggro Druid to pick up more wins against the Rogues while still beating Druid handily

Oenis posted:Also yeah Sylvanas is pretty good on paper (especially when compared to vanilla HS cards like assassinate or mind control), but when I look at how you usually die in this meta it's rarely from any single huge beatstick but most frequently a board full of varied minions of all sizes. Or face damage with spells, which this also does nothing against. It’s going to be massive for decks like Mage/Hunter/DH/Warlock which don’t really have any way to deal with a massive naga priest minion in the midgame

Veev posted:Also doesn't let your own secrets pop, not that I can see how that'd be useful. If you’re trying to have a bunch of secrets up at once for Orion/Chatty Bartender/Halkias I guess it works? But you still need to be able to kill it off once you play the payoff card. Seems more anti-secret focused to me

goferchan posted:What does the Cavalry Horn do for you there with a bunch of 1-drops in the deck? I don't think it's summons count as "played" for Kael I think the idea is that you play two 1 drops, break the weapon to pull out Kael, and then play jailer; the obvious problem is that if your deck is a bunch of 1 cost minions then it’s very likely one of them will get pulled by the horn instead of Kael

AnacondaHL posted:CAVEAT: Time's up though, everything could change tomorrow On one hand there’s a lot of cheap hard removal being added, which naga priest is definitely dreading. On the other hand hand, the “give a minion +2/+3 and only you can target it with spells” counters almost all of the hard removal that’s being added On the other other hand, if Sylvanas sees widespread play she’s going to be a huge pain since her battlecry can go through the “can’t be targeted” buff

Revert pet collector to a 3/3 (or 4/3), harpoon to a 2 mana discount Honestly I think the wildseeds are fine; they’re strong but usually slow enough that it doesn’t feel oppressive. If there’s a nerf to make I’d change Wild Spirits to only reduce the dormant time of its minions rather than all your dormant minions

Jolly Jumbuck posted:I like Castle Nathria in general, but have soured on Sire Denathrius. I used to like it as a closer for control decks, but mass token generation makes it too harsh in my opinion. Just like that one demon hunter card has "Infuse Demon" as an infuse condition, I feel like Denathrius should at least have "Infuse with a Minion You Played", or only target minions with its battlecry or something. I think starting with the battlecry dealing 1 or 0 damage would be a good way to tone down Denathrius’ power without redesigning or fundamentally changing the card

The animated portraits look like something from runeterra or one of the other CCG competitors, and the signature cards are completely indistinguishable on smaller screens.
