    You meant deckbuilding restriction like DK rune system ?

    Because, Some already have unique mechanics already,

    Demon Hunter - Outcast

    Druid - Choose one

    Paladin - Silver Hands

    Rogue - Combo

    Shaman - Overload + Totems(maybe)

    Warlock - Discard + self damage

     

    They added Overheal to Priest lately, maybe they add more to other classes aswell.

    I don't know why but Enrage was fitting Warrior a lot, I still can't get why they removed it. They removed it with the release of Frenzy keyword iirc. Maybe they thought playerbase would be stupid enough to be confused similarities.. Yeah, they always act like as if we are stupids..

    2 mana or 3 mana, it doesn't make any difference for Solid Alibi.

    Also, the problem with trading still persists which I mentioned in this thread;

    nice bug fix Blizzard.

    Yeah that's true. When OTK is a thing, this kind of cards become problematic but its not the only thing. Paladin was not able to reach more copies of Time Out! on its time which it also saw play in an OTK deck and you can reach Solid Alibi so easy with mage's huge discover potential and that's the real problem here in my opinion. You can use it without putting it to your actual deck and you are almost guaranteed to find one with Vast Wisdom. You don't even waste a deckspot to be able to use it. Of course you can't rely on it and it is better when you use your 3rd or more copy after your opponent thinks "ok, she is out of Solid Alibis now.

    It may not be creating a threat or clearing the board but it was screaming that it will be problematic when Vast Wisdom is printed.

    The real problem is not the Solid Alibi itself here. It is how it is synergizing with Vast Wisdom and other reach sources.

    You may be right about the plague deck might be useful against Solid Alibi but well, a well-timed Steamcleaner can save you from plagues and it just takes a single slot. Nothing can make you get rid of Solid Alibi or even 3x-4x ones. So, when a card has no counterplays, it becomes more problematic. Mages can play Solid Alibi without hesitation because they know nothing can disrupt it except Counterspell which is already a mirror match while other decks needs to think "oh, what if they have Steamcleaner in hand" or any other class, specific/neutral counters of what they are playing.

    Solid Alibi was needed a neutral counter or it had to be nerfed.

    In my opinion, Solid Alibi would be ok if it can't be discovered by other sources but with how it is and was, it was needed to be nerfed long ago.

    I never wanted a card to be nerfed before. So why do I request it now?

    Because, even Ice Block was problematic and they don't bring it back for standard for years but even Ice Block had counterplay with secret destroyer cards but Solid Alibi is just not counterable, you might laten it with increasing spell costs of your opponent or you might try sniping it with Blademaster Okani and that's all. The card is just uncounterable and maximum damage you can done to the opponent is 7 most of the time if you are playing a token deck or a deck who always fills the board and guess what ? They usually use Ice Barrier with it and they gain +1 Health on that turn instead of losing 7... or maybe you need a 30/30 C'Thun with no board or maybe 2x Astalor, the Flamebringer in a single turn which is only happening with 1/1000 of probability...

    The only other answer is another mage with Counterspell and OTK'ing her in a turn she didn't use it.

    I'm just surprised it was not a nerf candidate until now. There shouldn't be a card with no answers, especially when a class can discover tons of it.

    You can literally gain armor and use Solid Alibi and force your opponent to die to fatigue on paper.

    So I really request a card to be nerfed for the first time of my HS life which i was playing since beta. If there is a card which is overpowered but counterable, I usually don't request a nerf but this card is only counterable with itself and that happens if you are lucky enough.

     

    For Lab Constructor, I think;

    yeah, it snowballs a lot but it is so vulnerable, I don't think it needs to be nerfed and I don't think it will change anything for Mech Rogue. The most problematic part of Mech Rogue is Stealthed mechs and how you can't remove it easily with some cases and there are a lot of counters for that. If you plan your game good enough against Mech Rogue, you can deal with it most of the time with a lot of other decks, I could counter it with Hunter, Mage, Death Knight, Demon Hunter and Rogue and I'm sure of that other classes can deal with it too. Lab Constructor shouldn't be nerfed imo.

    Like Melliflue said, it just balances itself with draw engine etc. and it is just not the key part of the deck imo. The key part is Stealth in that deck and you will see that you will keep struggling against Mech Rogue in some matchups even it is nerfed after the patch.

    That is a lot of legendary cards in that deck...

    But I feel your deck has too many win cons in it. 90% of the time your end game can be simply just sargeras alone, so you dont really need to greed out so much.

    Currently, the most effective deck with that loken+fanottem synergy uses the chad deck core, maybe you can try that.

    That's also a way to use the deck surely but I just don't like the Chad deck. I am not a really fan of mana cheating.

    But I am trying different varieties. One is using summon/discover spells with imps to keep Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron summons, this one;

     

    And one with more control tools with more taunt walls instead of those little minions again to keep Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron more consistent with discoveries. I found Imposing Anubisath quite well with Forge of Wills. It has great tempo if you can hit 3 mana - 4 mana Tempo.

     

    All of these decks are good and bad against some matchups but I am confident to say that the Wall-Lock feels more controlish than the others.

    Imp Forgelock feels like a mid-range/aggro deck most of times and sometimes you just win with imps before you hit 7-mana.

    The first one; Forgelock feels like a meme deck right now after I tried the other varieties because it doesn't have the consistency the deck is looking for like linkblade91 said. I need to say thanks to him. I already wanted to try other varieties but he directed me to the right point with his comment.

    Like you said, Chad-lock style suits great with a deck like this. People might try and succeed but its just not for me. I also don't like the idea to bring Sargeras, the Destroyer to the board with Voidcaller. When you use just discard Thaddius, Monstrosity and hit The Jailer to the board even without Voidcaller, it is just the same win condition and the deck doesn't feel any different even you include Sargeras, the Destroyer and some new cards. It might be a good deck but I don't feel its style to play. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

     

    Also, It seems like Fanottem, Lord of the Opera + Lor'themar Theron is my obsession. I am pretty sure win rate of Wall-lock would increase if you replace them with 2 more useful cards. I just can't bare that Fanottem, Lord of the Opera sits in my collection and stay useless eternally so I just wanted to use it. :)

    Symphony of Sins might be great addition maybe with Sire Denathrius or some other good value card instead of those two. I just don't want to craft Symphony of Sins right now with a lot of cards(Titans) I want to craft around. :)

    Quote From DragonDraena

    I just played against a similar deck, and I used a fully infused Sylvanas to steal Sargeras. 

    When I used one of his available abilities, the pair of 6/6 minions appeared on my opponent's board - yikes! 

    Is that how all stolen Titans work, or just Sargeras because of the portal? 

    It may be wrong but I remember like my opponent couldn't send minions to Twisting Nether after Voidcaller summoned Sargeras, the Destroyer. I didn't experience Sylvanas scenario but that maybe how card just works.

    Though, I experienced that a Thief Priest was able to summon 2x Sargeras, the Destroyer stolen from me, I could destroy the first before my opponent uses other 2 abilities and he/she could use all abilites of the 2nd and although One portal was summoning 3/4 Imps with Taunt, the other was summoning 3/2 Imps so Abilites of Sargeras, the Destroyer won't stack. It only buffs Imps of the respected portal and they don't become 3/6 with Taunt.

    It's cool that you pulled it off, but surely you're running too many minions to pull it off consistently, no? It's very possible that Fanottem is not a Discover option because Watcher of the Sun, Suspicious Peddler, etc. are diluting the pool.

    It seems, if anything, that you were lucky to manage the combo this early at all :P

    Yeah probably luckier than you thought :) but Fanottem is not the only target, actually, I would be happier if i can discover Sargeras, the Destroyer. Fanottem is here just for fun but I saw that it is actually good. Even a 5/5 with Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron helps. I have 18/20 with this deck right now but well I am giving this to being at first day, people are experimenting or playing with older decks right now.

    I am looking at 30/30 Tentacle as a bonus instead of the aim of the deck actually. The deck is minion heavy because of consistency of Disciple of Sargeras and Soul Barrage and all minions help one way or another. Most helpful one is Ignis, the Eternal Flame. If you can craft a 5 mana 3/4 weapon with Lifesteal and 4 Armor with every hit, it completely saves warlock from low healths.

    Also I was not expecting to Kologarn to be as effective as others but he surprised me a lot.

    And for all other little minions, mulligan helps a lot really.

    Hello guys. I was just experimenting with new cards and I was able to hit my best setup for this deck. Here what it is;

    [img]https://i.imgur.com/lH8MpmH.jpg[/img]

     

    The setup was; Playing Lor'themar Theron and then playing Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron to discover a 30/30 Fanottem, Lord of the Opera to summon a 30/30 Tentacle with Taunt and summon a 30/30 Giant with Forge of Wills. I can't be so happy after I did this.

    Here is the deck I was using;

     

    If you want to give it a try, you can add Symphony of Sins to the deck, it is a good tool but I don't have one unfortunately. I would replace Elite Tauren Champion if i had one.

    Sleeper of the set is Relentless Worg imo. Good stats and a sticky one.

    And also I don't think Careless Mechanist deserves to be at the bottom of the set. That card is quite good for a Tempo/Midrange deck. I liked Bibliomite before, now gonna try Careless Mechanist. You won't need draws before 5 mana anyways in that deck and your opponent can't let it stay on board for 2-3 turns so it will do its job no matter what. You can draw after it dies or you can use discovers instead of draws. It even might be a sleeper aswell too. It deserves more points imo.

    I have an old laptop which is from 2010. I could play HS without any issues until last patch. With the last patch, I have this issue that as soon as I move a Tradeable card on my deck, the game stops responding. Forge works alright tho.

    I don't know maybe it is just my device but I remember like it was working normal before this patch. I can't be so sure tho since I rarely use this laptop.

    Did you guys who has an ancient laptop like this have same issue ? It is a core 2 duo, 4gb ram with Ati radeon HD4570.

    It is not a big deal tho. I am just curious that someone else also has the same problem. I will report it to Blizzard if it is not just me. If it is just me, I will try to fix the problem.

    Is there any confirmation about earthens are silencable or not? It says 2/2 with +2/+2 so I thought like it would be more like Pogo-Hopper than Jade Golem, silencable. If core body would stay 2/2 i will be happier, not really a fan of jade stuff, i don't even like relic DH's Relic of Phantasms.

    Now I need a minion that decreases the cost of Forge so I can use Lab Constructor without hesitation. Well, at least we can reduce the mechs costs' right ?

    really liked its potential.

    Whining and criticizing are two different things and i felt whining in your comment instead of a critique.

    It doesn't feel honest criticize when you see someone whines about a game 7/24 for years and keep playing and leaves whiney comments in a fan website of that game. I just can't bare people like this and can't stop myself to reply them in a bitter tongue. I don't usually write nowadays like before but I am following this site almost everyday. I was seeing your comments under almost any HS related article and most of time it feels like you were just ranting about it instead of criticizing. 

    I might be wrong of course. I maybe confusing you with someone else because of your nickname or profile picture. Even it may be that it was you and i am still wrong about you because of prejudices I have about you for your post comments.

    What I wrote above was not just a comment about this comment of yours. It was a pile which is gathered in time because it bothers me a lot when someone whines about a game 7/24 and keeps commenting on forums and keeps playing, they just should stop playing and ranting. That's simple.

    Sorry If i am mistaken. you can consider that as my prejudices that i have gathered from your post comments on other articles but this is how i feel about your comments if it was you.

    Well, i can understand a hyperbole from miles away but i just can't get it why it is used there and the reasoning. It just seems silly there.

    it won't be necessary if you use get for Schooling because of how long Piranha Swarmer is. It will 2 lines anyways. I can't see any inconsistency between Piranha Poacher and Schooling. one adds 3 cards so the word is plural and the other adds single card so it is singular. I don't think you can evaluate it as an inconsistency.

    I think so. If they decided to change the style, I need to admit that get suits better and saves space.

    I would like to see Tyr related with Silver Hand or Dragons. Missed opportunity imo.

    Why they didn't promote Dragonflight in Hearthstone is another big question for me.

    Well, it is not about your brainfart theory obviously. What I was speaking about was the attractiveness of the style, the charm. This is why there is an education for marketing etc.

    People looks first, then buys so you want your product looks good. Actually, this whole reveal season is here for same reason.

    Like I said above, 2 lines - 2 effects. Simple and looks better. Also they use "get" for other cards in Titans iirc.

    I can't really "get" why you said "I doubt the game will start crashing because of it" tho and also probably not any other company can find consumers like Blizzard's who always whines about almost anything but can't stop playing/consuming their product. A weird kind of obsession.

    How one can actually believe a company makes that kind of mistake with one of those brainfart moments is another topic all along.

    Ah and for Kologarn, you can't use "get" there because it works like Sap or Entomb for hand. I am not really sure the text is the end product, it was translated from some asian language i guess but seems ok for me, if you use a wording like "Rush. Whenever this attacks a minion, get it. Deathrattle: Give it back to your opponent" it would be total mess and wouldn't explain what the card actually does, how it goes to your hand and if it is returned to battlefield or opponent's hand. So, That's completely ok.

    But yeah, you are the greatest mind around that can only decide if it is a decision made to save on text space or a brainfart moment of Blizzard. So yeah, next time, shine bright on Team 5 and teach them how things must done.

    But you'll find yourself commenting under what they were decided to create which noone actually cares your opinions on them and will find yourself enjoying those brainfart people actually made for you to play.

    Enjoy the game created by a team which you 7/24 expostulate about.
