You have 5 minutes before this planet is destroyed.

Proceed to battle it out for 5 straight episodes.

Broken only in celestial druid because this one card can basically draw your entire deck in one turn after playing [card]celestial alignment[/card] while condemning your opponent to playing only 2 cards the following turn to counter the bs that you'll be playing.

Is this even remotely fair? No. But then again, if you're playing celestial druid you're basically gambling …

[card]Deviate dreadfang[/card] is an okay card. Pretty strong but I dont see why druid would want to play this because it costs way too much. So team5 must have been haunted by the same exact problem because they immediately went and printed [card]fangbound druid[/card] in the same set. So, along with [card]living seed (rank 2)[/card], we're looking at potentially having …

Its a strong arena card while in standard its just decent. The real strength of the card is the rng effect attached to the 2/2 so you'll almost never kill the ooze unless you can deal with the 2/2 as well.

But I feel only paladin and dhunters can get the best out of this card.

Alright, so now that there's a proper thread opened up for discussion, I'm keen on putting down some thoughts on the overload mechanic. Let's start by addressing the issue which I have unfortunately exaggerated for effect by mistake previously.


I agree with your sentiment that no mechanic is inherently weak (or bad) because like most other things in hearthstone, …

4 years, 9 months ago · on Is overload a good keyword?

Its not just you. Assuredly many of us have been burned from opening packs expecting to get a legendary every 10 packs only to get one close to the pity timer.

But this is a problem more about the foundations of where hearthstone is built, card games in general, and legal-ethical related issues that comes with the idea of …

Its druid. Apparently theres some constitutional law in team5 that they must be utterly broken or completely helpless.

Guess its going to be [card]cult neophyte[/card] or bust once again.

It is a good draw card, but at this point priest doesn't really need something like this.

Although I will concede that this is absolutely what a tempo priest needs. Not so much just the draw, but also a decent body that will come back with [card]rally![/card], probably the best card to get out of your deck.

I'm …

It draws spells, and in dedicated decks that might as well be just drawing the highest win rate card in your deck like [card]wildfire[/card].

[card]Starscryer[/card] does the same but one turn earlier, but no one says you can't just play both. If it does hit a frost spell, you get a bonus - and a really decently good bonus …

Its certainly a card, but yes, its likely going to be overplayed and overrated.

You can use this to snipe your opponent's win condition, but in doing so you're practically skipping your turn since the big body doesn't have taunt or rush. Also, as this card gains traction, all your opponent needs to be is to simply ensure that …

The extra 1/1 is really just a bonus that will almost never be relevant unless you're specifically facing poison rogue. It does tutor a spell from the deck, and I'm not completely dismissing the possibility that its simply used to draw key spells like [card]wildfire[/card].

You play this card, draw 2 cards, one of which is almost always be [card]cagematch custodian[/card] which will then proceed to draw another card.

Well, let's say that this card will be in shaman for the entire 2 years until its finally rotated. How many shaman cards can ever say the same? This godlike card is simply what shaman …

Lol, so the entire internet (myself as well) screamed to the gods that shaman drew like the last piece of trash stuck on the compacter and then team5 overcompensated by practically printing what amounts to [card]ringmaster whatley[/card] levels of draw power with [card]primal dungeoneer[/card]. Now I'm absolutely convinced that shaman will be on top, led by burn shaman.

Other …

Thanks. Are Zhym and Swidz's relegation confirmed? I mean, isn't Ayrok technically only 1 point below Zhym and 2 points below Swidz?

If Ayrok loses to Frenetic, then he'll have only 6 points right?

Short preview. I guess the giant murloc isn't a shaman exclusive. Oh well.

It also shows its costs, and attack value. Probably more meme and interesting than outright muscling its way into your deck list kind of legendary.

Isnt any druid that's not token basically plays nothing for 3 turns?

I went with the flashy, more memorable title. So I guess I should expect someone to pick on it.

Obviously its hyperbole, its a sweeping statement. The main problem with the overload mechanic is that the tradeoff is often poor and hearthstone has moved beyond what it was when overload was invented. Back in the day, it was acceptable …

Just a few comments;

- Handbuff is impossible in dhunters simply because [card]illidari inquisitor[/card] exist. I'm looking more into cards that give dhunters value or control, maybe some sort of board clear option or discover. Its not what we expect out of the class, but not impossible.

- Shaman only needs one other card draw option to be …

Definitely agree, but I see no hope of this ever coming to be.

For arena its kinda justified, since there is usually a good consensus on what is a good class, but for duels where its largely constructed, I don't see why its not just 'pick the class you want'. This is particularly problematic for duels, since if you …

Shaman lacks so many things its not even funny. But I do think that the one thing it does have is a win condition. [card]Doomhammer[/card] is still one of its best cards, and if you somehow manage to get this on and not oozed out, it can pretty much win the game for you.

To be honest, I think …
