The ultimate anti-weapon tech. Are you facing a weapon class? Rustrot Viper destroys the weapon. Are you facing a non-weapon control deck? Rustrot Viper can pseudo-cycle through your deck. Are you facing an aggressive deck and you already have that game winning board wipe in hand? Rustrot Viper's premium stats can delay your opponent just enough to reach your more powerful late game.
Wandmaker is an overall better card than this one, mostly because the body is slithly more impactul as a 2/2 and because the card you gain is usually a small but impactful card.
After Wandmaker rotates, Pandaren Importer can fill that slot as a 2 mana value generator, but for now, it's just an arena card.
Considering how hard Face Hunter tries to gain the board, having such a powerful "win more" tool makes this card pretty good. And yes, it's a worse Olgra, Mankrik's Wife when comboed with Barak Kodobane, but that is only because Barak Kodobane comes out at least on turn 5, when the +2/+2 base statline becomes less important (and even then, the Immune grants you at least one favourable trade against a cheater taunter).
I have moderate success with it so far. I’m hoping that they come up with more ways to support Pyke, because he is super interesting. Once you get him going, he’s a beast
I know you probably meant Zoe but that made me think of Lulu/Taric. Since Taric got buffed alongside Mountain Sojourners I thought there'd be more people playing it but... has anybody actually seen Taric decks or just Support decks in general? It's been 3 days but I still haven't managed to find one. I'm curious as to how well it's doing.
I’ve been experimenting with a Lulu/Pyke deck. I’m trying to experiment on ways outside of Lurk to level up Pyke
That's like trying to level up Maokai or Nautilus without toss cards, it can be done but it's not worth the trouble.
That's a pretty neat idea tbh, hope it works out. I tried to do it and I think Demacia has to be the way to go with some kind of Fiora/Pyke deck or Targon with the amount of gem creations they have. Pyke's normal stat is just way too weak for the cost tbh, if he was 3 Mana I think he'd be playable outside of Lurk decks, but that will obviously make complications with Lurk decks. Unfortunately, they made an entirely new mechanic for him and that means that it is exclusive to two regions and a separate card pool that hardly interacts with other cards making it incredibly limiting to find clever ways to build it.

I still think armor vendor is better, since it has better stats for its cost and the cost is only 1. Still this is a really good option if additional healing is needed, the possibility of healing 9 is a lot.
Crazy, complicated deck. I was running into issues with hand size (too many cards!) -- which in the scope of things is a god issue to have! But I won my first time playing it against a draw Rogue!
Support tribal will proably never be a good deck because of the strong interdependence of the units played in the deck. A support wants you to have at least 3 units around that then also have to be ready to attack.
That Mountain Sojourners got buffed is nice to have but won't turn the tides for support decks.
However:I have seen a lot of Taric so far, played by myself :) I have been playing TaricGaren buffs and it works well. It resolves around buff cloning and gaining a ton of extra attacks to make the temporary buffs really count.
If you are interested i could share the list later on.
That does sound interesting, please do. I would like to try it and probably try to include the buffed Mountain Sojourners if you haven't already.
Since the bundles gonna disappear from store at 3th August. It's probably released by then. And before that, whole 3 weeks of Fire-Festival. So this month gonna be lit. But I think only the first week of event where everyone gonna enjoy, the next 2 weeks? Not so much.
Probably start revealing new cards from as far as 26th.

Yeah Zoe sorry. Honestly, don't pay attention to the meta reports, like I'm absolutely slapping with kegs. Mogwai was playing yetis. Things are basically balanced right now so kudos to the devs.

Support for control warrior, nice! This can be seen as a better Shield Block for 4 mana, coz it still draws you a card, but you only get the armor gain later
New Neutral Minion - Impatient Shopkeep
Amazing in arena. Pretty underwhelming overall but does have its niche uses in standard.

New Warrior Spell - Heavy Plate
Perfect example of how a "weak" card becomes good because Tradeable gives the card amazing flexibility.

You drag the card over top of your deck to trade it

Several Passive Treasures Changes for Hearthstone Duels in the Newest 20.8.0 Patch and Their Impact
I agree, for now. Every Duels update should shake up the meta, but the HS community is really smart, quick to adapt and figure it out once again.

I fought a couple of Lulu/Shen but zero Taric.
