Don't know why you're downvoted. Especially in Wild, playing a 9 mana 8/8 turn 9 without anything else can be game losing (talking about its current state where Dragons cost 1).
She's really not that powerful. In the current wild meta games never even make it to turn 9.
Renolock has enough big demons to cheat out already, and they're mostly trying to get tickatus out as fast as possible nowadays anyway.
Reno priest only gets slowed by her because it's one more card you'll have to get through after you use Polkelt before you get to the cards you want.
So the only deck I'd imagine that would really want her is reno mage (LPG variant of course).
Other than that I don't see many decks adopting her, even after the buff.
Quality commentary, hopefully some quality gameplay. You can actually learn something about playing certain matchups to help you do better in your own games.
I guess Kingsbane decks would take this card even without minion buff. I don't remember Oil being played at any other deck deck in Wild (although I like to put it in where I can). The big difference between Oil and Nitroboost is the original form, as Corrupt condition will be much more relevant at 2 mana. I often play Oil just for the weapon buff, and Nitro requires to be corrupted in most cases.
I think Deadly Poison is superior to both cards due to being combo activator and more easily cast off Secret Passage. (If Nitro will be 2 mana)
Winners were drawn and contacted. I listed them in the comments on the Path to Ascension and we'll have an article up today with their names in it and some commentary on our HS giveaway.
I hope this gets nerfed. I played a Stealth Rogue deck myself and the amount of burst damage is ridiculous! E.g. one game at start of my turn 5 the opponent is at full health 30 HP. At the end of my turn he's at 16. At the start of my turn 6 I have no board and a 6 damage weapon. I kill him in that turn with 11 damage from hand (2 Southands, Nitroboost and Sinister Strike). The second Southand came from 0 mana Cuttingclass into Swindle. That's not healthy for the game.
2 games later I kill a DH in turn 7 from 16, because I got two Evis and one Sinister from Secret Passage. A Shaman in between was at 8 helath in his last turn, which was exactly the damage I was showing. But with Nitroboost and Evis in hand I could have killed him from 16, too.
I don't think, that SSS is the problem here. I played 2 Hooked Scimitars and only 1 SSS. The Scimitar does a little less damage then the Sword (8 vs. 10 unbuffed) but needs only 2 turns for that which can be deciding. And it reduces your Cutting Class to 1 immediately.
I dislike people taunting me during the game or telling me that I made a mistake so I auto-squelch everyone I play. Call it bad manners if you like, but I just want to play a game without the harassment.
I think it's very bad manors to drag out the game by playing every last card before making the lethal kill. If you have lethal...end the game...but now (thanks to Blizzard's exp system) everyone makes every play they can before ending the game so that they can get more exp.
This is why I either concede before they kill me or just x out of the game. I never squelch people though I have done so about twice ever
I can't remember Masters Tour ever having drops. Only Seasonal Championships in the past had them, and World Championships continue to have them to this day.
The main problem about SSS is not the cost or the attack increase, it's just how much hits it provides for the cost. Just by reducing the durability it's going to be much less obnoxious to deal with (at +2 attack the total damage shrinks from 18 to 12 which is much less absurd)
Agreed. But at least its not impossible to interact with. And I think its better to wait until Barrens is out before cards should be nerfed anyway, its like 3 weeks away.
Really hope they also nerf the sword as well. That thing is going to be a pain to design weapon buffs around in the future and I really don't want to have to run double Ooze in every deck just so I don't lose by turn 6.

I think they might do just that.

Assassin's blade is literally a nerfed SSS. So unless the plan is to remove 1 durability from SSS, I just don't see how they can do it.
