Almost done with Warrior & Priest - less than a 100 wins away from the 1k mark. Hunter & Shaman are in the 200 wins away from a thousand ranked win. And then Mage & Druid are a little behind, with just over 600 recorded victories with each.
Mage is in a good spot - wildly speaking - to pursue that goal. Embiggen Druid should also help reaching the milestone. Galakrond's list gave my warrior and shamy a little boost, but that was momentarily. Hunter is still highrolling its highlander's glory ... and well, I'm a little bored of playing priest for that last sprint to a 1000
It sounds like OP needs more taunts in his deck and needs to be mindful of being below ~10 HP. Also, according to HSReplay, Leeroy is in ~44% of all decks. If you are being this paranoid about him, you need to just assume they have em and take the necessary precautions. Otherwise, your entire post just comes off as you being unprepared. Go back to the salty threads where you can blow steam off.
Is it boring being finished off by the same card since vanilla. Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't even care if they basically made a new one every year but I am so sick of Leeroy at this point that I would jump for joy if he got HOF'd and I know Gadgetzan and Mally are not problems right now but their infinate abusability has limited spell design since vanilla too, also boring now. New shit same ish effects who cares, just ditch the tired out vanilla cards already
I disagree, I think having some limited amount of burst damage in neutral/evergreen is healthy for the game. Aggro decks are a necessary component to the balancing act of aggro-control-combo, and without evergreen cards to provide a baseline, it'd just mean more expansion cards have to be printed to fill that void.
We would still have Wolfrider for an evergreen burst neutral. Wolfrider did see lots of play back in the days of Deathrattle Face Hunter, so it's not unplayable. It's just massively outclassed... by Leeroy.
While evergreen burst is important, it shouldn't be Leeroy. He's too abusable to be in Standard forever.
(I also wouldn't mind some buffs for awful cards like Nightblade, but I don't think that's a unique opinion).
True the Elusive is a problem at the moment. I had an awesome game just now and I just lost because he topdecked an elusive with enough power to destroy my nexus. Before that happened, we both had some awesome turns where a single missplay could be the end. Really hope they do something about Elusive units especially when they are buffed to infinity and have lifesteal.
At the moment I build and play the Mistwraith Deck from above and damn its so much fun to play it.
just because magic has a lot of counters and you play around it doesn't mean it is the right thing, the game is already back and forth attacking and blocking is doesn't need a counterspell for one region that is wraping the meta around itself sometimes you need to vegenance your OP counter,you lose,
you use avalanche against agro he counter, you lose, it isnt possible to bait deny every single time, it isnt about power alone is about the feeling of hopeleness, you try to play the game but your OP counter your key moves for 3 spell mana, and can develop a board afterwards if every region had a counterspell it would be fine but right now it isnt fair that ionia is the splash into your deck for deny region. i am salty so take my opinion with a grain of salt XD.
Another [Hearthstone Card (Alexstraza) Not Found] deck, but with a cheap and extremely simple strategy: Mana Bind.
The boss always casts Heartseeker on turn 8. So you just play Mage, freeze everything, play the secret at 8 mana, drop Alexstraza on the next turn and kill the boss with your balanced 0 mana 'deal 25 damage' spell. Easy peasy. Just reset if you don't get the cards.
Mountain Giant is the least likely to be moved to the Hall of Fame due to Valdris Felgorge having just been released, but an 8/8 on turn 4 because your opponent has a full hand, of most likely answers to whatever you're about to play, always feels bad. I know Splitting Image Mage has fallen to the way side since Doom in the Tomb, but it still felt horrible to go up against.
Mountain Giant - think he is been around for far too long.. time for him to move to HoF, it would give design space to buff handlock even further.
So you want design space for handlock but without mountain giant? Handlock only existed throughout time cause it could pull a mountain giant early on and free molten giants later with taunt given to them. They already nerfed them and removed them from the game. Only mountain remains. Handlock is just on the brink of playability cause of mountain giant on turn 4. Remove it and say bye to the archetype
I disagree handlock in DoD got a lot of support,
Mountain Giant while very strong is not the cornerstone of the deck, and the deck can function without it as long as it has other tools likeTwilight Drake, healing and aoe.
HoFing Mountain Giant would create a design space to create other powerful cards that care about hand size, without making it that a 4/3 mana 8/8 comes to play too fast, I play hand lock a lot, really like having as many options as I can and then decide the best tool for each situation.. mountain giant is kinda boring at this point.. been playing the card since naxx.
Also it has been proven to be a problematic card back in RoS. so every card with evolve mechanics (which blizzard loves) is problematic with it..
Innervate should be rotated with the addition that it should be un-nerfed. It hasn't seen play since the nerf and I just really miss utilizing it to it's full potential.
Wild Growth, again with it being un-nerfed. Breath of Dreams powercreeps it so hard now and Wild Growth just feels dead. Un-nerfing it would fit in Wild Non-Dragon Druid decks.
Divine Spirit AND Inner Fire. We all know the combo, it's just not fun on the receiving end.
Acolyte of Pain or any other neutral draw engine. Acolyte has been used in many, many decks to the point where it's "almost" an auto-include. Azure Drake was one of the first cards moved to the Hall of Fame, and it was because it was an auto-include in many decks, why doesn't Acolyte get treated the same way?
Big Game Hunter once again, with him being un-nerfed. I can't recall the last time this guy was relevant, even with Embiggen druid on the ladder he's still not seeing play. Unless I'm just not paying close enough attention.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Leeroy Jenkins should definitely be moved because of the burst damage. Sure it's a fun card to teach new players the appropriate time to play certain cards, but he's frequently been on people's nerves for way too long.
Alexstrasza because that much burst is not fun. If Leeroy is constantly called out for out of nowhere burst damage, Alex should be too.
Malygos hasn't had THAT much of an impact on some metas. But I feel like he limits design space in a way because of the +5 Spell Damage he has. I have a feeling that there were several cards in production and Team 5 said "Wait, Malgos exists, scrap it."

A lot of you will probably disagree with me which is fine, but all of above it just opinionated.
Innervate is used in quest druid to complete the quest also to play with Nourish.
Wild Growth I disagree, it's a decent choice off zephyrs. (sorry if I butchered his name)
DS & IF I don't think both need to be HoF only divine spirit, inner fire is good when you can limit how much hp a minion can gain, besides there are other hp/attack flip effects in the game.. and they are fine, divine spirit is the one which is wrong.
Acolyte of Pain- every time he is used differently he is far from auto include.
BGH.. I think he should be buffed to 4 mana.. but he is relevant off zhephyrs.
Alex- a fine candidate for HoF (also I get 3200 dust :D but that's another story)
Malygos- but he costs 9 mana.. how many cards are actually limited by this 9 mana card.. think he is fine cause every time he is played it's a different deck
Mountain Giant - think he is been around for far too long.. time for him to move to HoF, it would give design space to buff handlock even further.

I just played a Magic game where my opponent countered every single thing I did for 5-6 turns, but I still managed to beat him. I'm not convinced that Deny needs nerfed after facing MtG Counterspells for years. However, I do think players will start to expect their opponent to have one and play around it better. You should keep in mind that Deny is on Riot's watchlist and they are considering increasing the cost or using another tweak to balance it. In the meantime, just assume your opponent has a Deny in hand and you'll be a lot less frustrated.
This This This!!
God damn, ppl are just not used to play against counters. Ppl are very used to Hearthstone, where you do what you want on your turn, for all you HS players who never played Magic before, go give magic a frickin try for some time, and see what it is to play against counterspells, and how to play against and around them. And I'm not talking about 3 counterspells in one deck (like in Deny of Legends of Runeterra, where you can ONLY use 3 in an entire deck of 40 cards), I'm talking about a bunch of counters.
And one more thing for all you Deny haters.... have you actually looked into the decklists that contain Deny? Many if not most, ONLY contain 2 frickin denys..... 2 frickin cards!!! And you all are complaining because you couldn't play your pretty spell the turn you wanted....
Funny thing is, no one is talking about other spells, that are really impactfull, and are Burst spells, which can't be denied...
To answer your initial question @Suchti0352 In most cases, rolling an Obsidian Statue out of Shadow Essence on turn 6 is gg. Some Mass Dispel for ... reason (Silence) is also golden. Archmage Vargoth & Resurrect do wonders together given a deathpool of statue that is. For that one, if I recall right, my wining strike was from Skruk own's buffed minions, thanks to Death Grip.
Just got around to playing him in Heroic and current Quest Res Priest worked on the first try without any problems at all. Doesn't matter how big the minions are when you've got 5 Convincing Infiltrators + a Catrina Muerte to keep bringing back the ones he's killed...
This is pure gold, after xy nerve-racking tries I did it on 1st try with Big Rez Priest. Thank you both for the idea, it even works for other stubborn bosses :)
I don't really understand why people want to HoF Malygos.
Has Malygos ever been oppressive? It's never been regularly in the meta. At best, it's probably been top tier for short periods of time.
Even if a Malygos deck is to appear in the meta, what's wrong with it? What's wrong with Combo wincon in general (one should be much more concerned by which Control tools a Combo deck can effectively use in their deck)?
Sure, he forces the devs to pay attention in printing cheap spells that can target face, but is it even a problem?
I mean, there's currently no Malygos deck in Wild meta at the moment, even if we have a much larger pool of spells. Like, not just no Malygos on top tiers, but no Malygos at all. It's off-meta.
I could understand HoFing Leeroy Jenkins, but vaguely tbh. He's just a fairly recurring card, but people notice him just just because it kills them. If Leeroy wasn't a finisher, less people would point at him.
Is it boring being finished off by the same card since vanilla. Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't even care if they basically made a new one every year but I am so sick of Leeroy at this point that I would jump for joy if he got HOF'd and I know Gadgetzan and Mally are not problems right now but their infinate abusability has limited spell design since vanilla too, also boring now.

Yes i agree - the Exp. System could be better or at least get some improvement. Maybe other/better rewards or like mentioned above like they did it in overwatch with some kind of Star Ranking.
But before they do that i'm still hoping that they improve the Craft/Dust system :)
I created a Gnome and wanted to name him FieserFritz (German for Nasty Fritz) but the name did not work or was taken - can't remember so i messed around a little and came up with FieselFitz.
That name also sounded perfect for a Gnome and even if i use other Names on other platforms this Name is usualy my Username in any type of fantasy game :)

So, how long is Deny gonna stay at 3 mana?
just because magic has a lot of counters and you play around it doesn't mean it is the right thing, the game is already back and forth attacking and blocking is doesn't need a counterspell for one region that is wraping the meta around itself sometimes you need to vegenance your OP counter,you lose,

Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
I f***ing hate Leeroy. Played about ten games, lost six of them, all to Leeroy, and all before turn 8. That is all.
I think my daily quest didnt count somehow ...
I had a daily to attack with 20 minions form *insert region i forgott but i took the right one because quest is gone and it counted ot the progress"
when i finished my quest i had exactly the 1100 xp earned i needed to get the golden chest from my regional rewards.
the progression bar fills, the quest is over but i didnt get a reward.
Also when i go back to the regional reward it counts that im still missing about 1000 xp to that chest....
so i not only didnt get my chest, but also i didnt get the 1000 xp which is also something id love to have :)
can anyone help me or has anyone experienced something like that?
or am i just simply missing something?
thanks and have a beautiful saturday
