Yeah, it's a random N'Zoth golden portrait: it's not specified, but I received reports of people getting different portraits. For example, I received the new N'Zoth art.
To be honest, Sorcerer's Apprentice dodged the nerf so many times in the past - even if it is not problematic now, there are fat chances that it will be again in the future.
Not saying that Questline Hunter should not be nerfed because it will make the class unplayable, but rather than nerfing that deck will give us yet another unplayable class.
If a deck is broken, the fact that it's that class' only viable strategy isn't a valid excuse to leave it as it is, but at the same time it makes me sad that there aren't any other valid alternatives...
Roasting Naga Demon Hunter cards because I can't think of any other way to make myself feel better about losing to DHs who don't need to play well to win:
Dreadprison Glaive: I appreciate that Blizzard feels it's necessary to teach Demon Hunter players that they should be hitting minions instead of just brainlessly jamming into the face.
Multi-Strike: If I worked on Hearthstone, I would send daily memos to my coworkers, "Don't Give Demon Hunter Windfury." I would have no other responsibility in the company. I would work in HR, and any designer caught attempting to give Demon Hunter Windfury would have to attend a weekend seminar where all they would do is try to climb Standard Ladder against Demon Hunters with Multi-Strike. I would not have a salary, but would show up early every morning with a fresh batch of memos.
Predation: So apparently what Blizzard learned from Eye Beam is, "Make it hit face, too." And here I was thinking the lesson was "Don't make 'Deal 3 damage' Cost 0, you morons."
Kurtrus, Demon-Render: Blizzard decided that Bakuing the Hero Power wasn't good enough, so they made it refresh like Shadowreaper Anduin or Questline Hunter. I see nothing wrong with emulating some of the most broken strategies in the history of the game, this should all work out fine. I really enjoy fending off Demon Hunter's aggression, including an on-curve Drek'Thar, only to lose because my opponent has Lady S'theno and a couple of spells in hand. How nice for them. On top of that, they get to summon two X/4s with Rush, where X is the number most likely to frustrate their opponent.
Lady S'theno: Infinite Attacks to clear the board while also triggering Kurtrus' Hero Power? No, this is perfectly fine. This stupid garbage is so overtuned that Naga DH players are unironically running Archdruid Naralex for the 36% chance they hit Nightmare because Blizzard made this deck so easy to auto-pilot to wins that the players had to step in to make things a little bit more challenging for themselves.
Drek'Thar: HSReplay says that Drek'Thar has a 68% mulligan winrate, but "only" a 61% played winrate, so I'm going to spend the rest of the month trying to tell my Demon Hunter opponents that they're costing themselves 7% of a win every time they play Drek'Thar. Maybe it'll work.
This is pure gold.
Also, I agree with every single word written here.
Hey, glad you appreciated it!
Avalon you're a handsome genius.
Regular Brawliseum usually has a free ticket, so its accessibility is way higher than the Heroic version.
Good job Nirast!
Not gonna lie, when I saw the thread's title I thought it was going to be spam lol - I am glad I was wrong ;)
I have bad news for you sir.

Heck, N'Zoth Task 9 is fricking difficult - I cannot complete it, no matter how hard I try! Any tips please? <3

Yay!
It felt good seeing that I actually nailed a few ;)
No Fel Warlock buffs sucks, but what can we do...
Thanks!
Nerfs will go live basically at the same time as the patch notes
Usually yes. Maybe they're still refining some parts of the patch.

What Druid nerfs would you like to see?

Those snipe moments feel so good! Blademaster Okani is another great card choice if you want to see your opponents suffer lol
I thought about Shield Shatter going to 4 damage, but I wasn't particularly intrigued by it.
You're right though: it's a valid alternative if you want to tone down that card!
