Yeah I watched a Zeddy video the other day (the salt master himself) in which he predicted that's what they'd say. Then "well we'll wait and see how the upcoming miniset affects wild before making changes", then "we've made a standard balance patch, let's see how it affects wild....". And "new expansion coming in a month we'll see how it affects wild....." and repeat etc etc etc.
This season I only had a 9* bonus, but still cruised to Legend easily using this off meta Big Shaman list. Most opponents will expect Murloc Shaman which messes up their mulligan strategy. Obviously, keep Devolve and Devolving Missiles against Token Druid and Hand Buff Paladin. Do not overload yourself the turn prior to your combo turn. Now just dodge Reno Priest (almost unwinnable matchup), take the wins against any other deck and climb the ladder all the way to Legend.
The fact that there are other mage archetypes right now astounds me. But that would kinda explain why they didn't just go hard on Incanter's Flow as well.
I havent actually matched up with a mage yet. Plenty of priests, druids, and rogue. But no mage.
Oh, and the broadcasts are definitely after the nerfs.
I don't realy get why mobile is such a problem. I played apm priest on mobile in the past and honestly, the fact that you can use both fingers for quick card slinging is allmost an advantage imo.
We could always create a forum post for this Noz event and invite ppl to play against. Sure it's not ranked, but least you get to experience the 15 second timer and it'll help improve your skills in the process
@IksarHS We know we'll get acheivements for old adventures eventually. But will they be retoactive? For example, clearing all levels of dalaran heidst with all hero powers.
@V3dn3y If it's tracked in game it should be retroactive. If it's not already tracked in game it likely won't be retroactive. (Source)
Hmmm this answer doesn't explain why we have to re-do the book of hero adventures when the achievements are added after completing the adventures. I've had this happen to me for the Rokara one along with Uther and Jaina adventures. When you complete the adventure, there's a crown on top of the hero to say it's complete, but I still don't get the achievements :(
Those broadcasts were before the nerfs. How often do you even queue into a spell mage? More than 3/4s of the time I queue into a mage it is spell damage mage.
Edit: Could have sworn they were before. My b. Considering how it has a bad matchup against Pally and an even (?) matchup against warrior, I am not convinced it is so strong.
So, they waited this long to knock down some oppressive cards in Wild, because they want to see how well Barrens adjusts the Wild meta? Mage & Paladin have dominating for a while. But at least there's less Priest / Druid.

Big Shaman (Season 86 - Legend)

This weekend is still heavy on no minion mage, what are you talking about?
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
No and no.
Big Warrior w/ Nozdormu
I started with low expectations (after a N'zoth druid desaster yesterday) but this deck has something to it!
Warrior mirror match: I pulled a Greyborouh from my "In Formation!" Who would have thought that it synergizes exceptionally well with Rattlegore?!
Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #18 - Balance Change Insights, More New Minion Types, and More!
yup, incanter's flow is definitely 'only borderline powerful' guys and is a better wild growth for spells
(when you win consistently turn 4-5 with apm mage)
might i add, blizzard doesn't care about 90%+ of all the other 'normal' players and what their experience is like
thanks, no really

At Legend those things run rampant because all their hardcounters get trashed by everything else

Spell Mage.
Only borderline powerful.
Are they on heavy medication? Have they not watched their own esports broadcasts?
