VS Data Reaper Report

Submitted 5 years, 2 months ago by

Here's one of the most reliable meta reports, for anyone who wants to have a look. Some pretty interesting things happening in the meta presently, particularly with regard to the newest addition to Tier 1 status, Aggro Warrior. Data Reaper Report

It also makes note that the meta is just about to get completely shaken up when the wild cards enter the standard game.

    Aggro Warrior or Highlander Aggro Warrior are both super strong at the moment.

    I piloted Highlander Aggro Warrior from Rank 10 up to Legend (my 1st Legend, yay!).

     

    I have mixed feelings about this. I love Highlander Aggro Warrior deck, and with 23 Wild cards coming into the Standard meta (until the end of this expansion - mentioned by Blizzard CC) - the meta can change completely...

    I like meta changes but... man it really is a "Feels Bad - moment" - when you just master your favourite deck, there would be 2 more months of the meta to enjoy it... but instead it is about to change, probably in a big way.

    Agreed - really looking forward to the meta shakeup, but frantically trying to hit dad legend before the new cards throw everything into chaos!

    May all your legendaries be golden.

    I wouldn't be too worried. I don't see Aggro Warrior getting any weaker. At worst N'zoth decks become popular and you're gonna lose games that you can't close out before turn 10, but that's just regular aggro problems anyways

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Well... I am more worried about Flamewaker coming back into the meta. I think this card by itself - can change the meta.

    Some Aggro and/or Tempo Mage can appear, and Flamewaker can help to push other aggressive decks out of the board...

    We can't be sure, because they nerfed Mana Wyrm some time ago. But I still think Flamewaker can reshape - what aggressive decks are at the top.

    I definitely will use Flamewaker to stir things up! I have had it with all those quest decks and Aggro Priest. It is time Mage reclaims its rightful position: at tier 1! Be prepared to be finished off by fireballs and ragnarosses! Not to mention the potential of Sorcerer Apprentice icm with a Luna and this card to just gun them all down in one turn.

     

    Or a [Hearthstone Card (Flamewalker) Not Found] being followed by a puzzle box? Do these spells count as well?

    Unfortunately (or fortunately, for your opponent) they don't count... only the Puzzle Box counts as 1 spell

    But flamewalker will definitely be a good addition to mage, though I don't know if it will be enough to bring it back to a competitive level. But one thing is sure: those who love casino mage (like me) will have tons of fun.

    Flamewaker's condition is "after you cast a spell". That means the player playing a spell card from their hand, which puzzle box or Tortollan Pilgrim don't do.

     

    However, as written, Unseen Saboteur ought to trigger Flamewaker if your opponent plays it against you with ole' walkey on the board.

    Or a double machine gun with Flamewaker and Magic Dart Frog. I am sure that will piss off some lackey addict.

    So I tried some Flamewaker! Did not work out in reno, yesterday evening, lost all games. But this morning I created a deck with spells, cyclones, Apprentices, Flamewaker, Flakmage, secrets package, Emperor Thaurissan, Antonidas and fireballs. Boy did it deliver. Crushed an aggro warrior, destroyed a quest shaman and obliterated a quest priest. Did not refine the deck yet even.
