Anathemos is correct. Games simply do not reach fatigue anymore. Another reason why he does not see play is because there are not really a lot of good cards to corrupt it with that also make up for the fact you are only playing about one or two cards a turn. Tickatus also does not impact the board, which is important because the current standard meta is very board centric.
Its probably not good, and probably never will be good in standard. The premise of Tickatus as a good card is completely in either controlock, or in some kind of discardlock, and both aren't always consistent in standard. Especially in this meta, tickatus might well just not exist, given that so many decks just counter controlock so well.
I wouldn't craft it if I were you. But if you have spare dust, and feeling like you'd rather be happy meming than winning, then why not? Just be aware that the next expansion is in a month's time, so dust spent now feels kinda moot.
My understanding is, Tick isn’t that great a card. He’s widely hated because people really don’t like it when their decks get messed with, but he isn’t part of a winning deck. (Think about how many games you play where you don’t get to your last five cards—though it feels bad to see the cards burn, it doesn’t actually affect you if you don’t draw to the end of the deck.)
On the other hand, lots of players like messing with their opponent’s deck, so Tick does see play even if his decks aren’t great. If you like watching the other guy’s cards burn, go ahead and craft it!
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to keep track of your earnings during the event. I've been clicking on a few profiles under houses of interest and lights are on, maybe 3-5 a day. As for site travel, I'm not active much on the forums, but I do visit the site every day and read the Hearthstone news. So I'm missing out on a ton of trick-or-treat candy, but I find visiting that many profiles for just 1 candy each too time consuming.
First idea is a bit simple, but I really liked the art and wanted something flavorful with it. Looking for a better name, but I can't think of anything that fits quite right atm.
If we're not going to put them in Un'Goro, I think the secondary location for a Hearthstone dinosaur would be the Druid's Rastakhan set. Gonk, the Raptor and Wardruid Loti are both dinosaur-based, among others, so this seems a natural fit.
Savage Striker is similar, so I think this card could be seen as a replacement. The Striker is not a Beast, though, because I guess it's the character riding the dinosaur, so I wonder if this should not be a Beast too *shrugs*
First card is a bit similar to my entry in last comp, but I actually had it designed from a long ago. The flavor is that whenever it touches another color (ie another class), it camouflages.
The second one is a bit more straight forward in the dino flavor, but I'm afraid it collides with Oondasta
It's inconsistencies like these that detract from Hearthstone's world-building for me. I appreciate that some players enjoy deep-diving into the WoW lore behind the cards but really what's the point when the game doesn't even seem to respect it's own lore?
Not super happy with the art or name, but I like the overall design. It's basically a Flame Imp that draws a card, which I think is balanced, since Hunter doesn't have much healing.
My best run with Diablo (8-3) so far was just a result of slapping together all the effective face damage spells that both classes have. Power Overwhelming, Heroic Strike, Hellfire, etc. And then you get the treasure that doubles your first spell each turn, and bam, wins!
Twice the class card pool equals twice the available face cheese, who knew?
Yeah, so pretty much every game is a 20 minuite drag out value war.
Bandlewood is popular you can run it with Heimer or Swian or Poppy or anything else.
The only thing that matters is that you maintain infinite card advantage until you hit your finisher, or maybe you don't and it doesn't matter.
Targon does this pretty well also, and so does shadow. Not a lot else to say, like even overwhelm decks and aggro decks rely heavily on cycling now.
Using cards like lecturing yordle or the 7 mana shurima card, so how does everyone feel is this fun?
Like now that I understand what the game is I can patience my way through a handful of games a day by running rebel lists but thats about it.
It all feels exceptionally slow...and rather redundant, like what deck are you running? Who cares as long as it's 50 - 80% cycling...woo good times.
Then there's obviously the rally Zed decks which are the only lists fast enough to contend with what people are playing.
I really hope the next expansion includes less cycling and more cheap aoe or box style affected, or something like cyndervines from magic that punishes opponents from playing too greedy.

Too slow. They kill you too quick for it's affect to matter.

Tickatus question
Hi,
I am about to craft a legendary demon, and was thinking of Tickatus. That got me thinking:
1) Usually I am crafting the wrong card, so wanted to know if anybody is playing the dude?
2) On HSreplay he is performing lower than I expected, why?
3) With this big boy on the list, why distruptlock doesn't see a comeback?
Any thoughts?
Thanks for sharing :)

Very good news. Some of us haven't even had a chance to play it yet. 1 month seems like a good amount of time for an event like this.
