    Best cardback hands down, don't even @ me.

     

    It's the only one I've ever used since when I got it in far July 2018.

    If I'm not mistaken, around 3 hours and 30 minute from this comment

    Look (Insert Class Here) didn't get touched at all, but it is so oppressive right now! Have the devs gone mad or what??

    N'Zoth, God of the Deep with a scarf is the most amusing piece of information I'll take from this event.

    I wouldn't see C'Thun, the Shattered just as a win con: most of the times, its pieces may help you against certain matchup.

    Moreover, if you're Secret Mage you have Arcane Flakmage and Flame Ward (and don't forget Zephrys the Great) against Token Druid and in the mirror.

    C'Thun, the Shattered is useful only in Control matchups, when the games go on for many turns.

    If you're paired up with a Face Hunter or an aggressive deck in general, all you need is defensive spells - in this case, you'll never get to the point where [Hearthstone Card (C'thun the shattered) Not Found] will be relevant, so why not just using its pieces for something more helpful?

    Not exactly the best moment to have fun on ladder. We all have to hope that, once Worlds are over, the devs will gift us with a quick nerf patch.

    That Even Priest looks sweet - unfortunately, I am missing a few cards, but I'll try to replace them in some way and have fun nonetheless

    It is important to understand that we didn't highlight all the cards that might (or might not) need a change, but rather those who were perceived so by a bunch of pros in a Twitter discussion.

    Do I personally think VR is a strong card that allows insane cycle for aggro decks? Yes. Do I think it might need some change in the future? Not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it will happen.

    Which Paladin cards do you think are problematic? How would you like the devs to change them?

    From time to time, when artists publish their process to create a certain card art, we highlight that with a specific post.

    The thing is... most of the times we don't have access to such content with regular frequency.

     

    I agree it's a shame and I agree we should get (and highlight) more of these, but if you know how to do it/how to look for the material, I think you should definitely apply and see what happens!

    Warrior just got back? Warrior has been on the top of the meta for pretty much the entire year (maybe except some short periods like the Corsair Cache nerf before Scholomance release)

    No confirmation yet, but I have a very bad presentiment for you...

    I think Libram Paladin has some sort of hard counter in classes that can easily transform minions.

    The problem is that Shaman has just started being playable and Mage is in the trashcan right now.

    I'll just copy paste a comment I made on Reddit: "Twin Slice is quite tricky to balance since DH has a lot of attack-related cards: making it cost 0 allows insta-procs of Battlefiend, Satyr Overseer and Glaivebound Adept; making it cost 1 allows big damage and great synergy with the likes of Bladed Lady, Blade Dance and [Hearthstone Card (Aldrachi Warbaldes) Not Found]."

     

    Maybe your suggestion falls in the middle ground and is the most reasonable one, but I'm curious to see if and how the devs will solve the puzzle.

    I see where you're coming from, but it looks like that Warrior and Demon Hunter are gathering all the attention from the pros.

    I think Dragonbane is fine, just really good; on the other hand, I agree with your complaints about Phase Stalker and, especially, Voracious Reader.

    Looks like someone read the last VS meta report.

    We just reported which cards the pros were talking about.

     

    What is your personal opinion? Which Hunter/Paladin cards would you like to see changed?
