Too random for my taste. Miss out on your ramp, and you're in for a bad day. Also, if [card]strength in numbers[/card] dont get you your big taunts, you're also in for a bad day.

Its not surprising to see dhunters up there on the top, but the nerfs will serve only to slow down their game against control and do nothing to reduce its ability to outright tempo out nearly every other deck that requires a board to succeed, except perhaps egg warrior. Surprisingly the real culprit here is [card]warglaives of azzinoth[/card], which when …

Wouldn't surprise me if the devs have only just been reminded that [card]juicy psychmelon[/card] existed. Kael'thas might actually break the speed record for the quickest double nerf in hearthstone history.

To be honest hero power at 1 is pretty broken. It allows for so much flexibility, and technically making inspire cards absolutely a nightmare to face against. Ive always thought Illidan's hp, though underwhelming, is already the best in the game for an aggressive class simply because of its efficiency.

It kinda reminds me of rogue's hp at the …

Then he'd just destroy any control deck, and being in an evergreen set that's not good.

At the moment, his only weakness is that he's a 9 mana equip a 3/8 weapon. Take that away and [card]lord jaraxxus[/card] will legit be in contention in every warlock deck right now.

A lot of these nerfs seemed...underwhelming.

[card]Altruis the outcast[/card] and [card]kael'thas sunstrider[/card] had their mana cost increased by 1, [card]glaivebound adept[/card] to have that apparently paltry slap to the hand by having his 7 attack reduced by 1. All this seemed to be to be balanced to ensure a slower dhunter aggro deck (due to the not insubstantial nerf …

"target a friendly minion. Set all enemy minions health to 1 and equip a 1/4 weapon"

Lol.

Just one question: How does all these cards make up an OTK scenario from 30 health?

Edit: yeah turns out I had to only click to get the guide. Thanks Thonson.

[card]sacrificial pact[/card] can still do things even if it only targets friendly minions. Its played unironically in galakrond control warlock in DoD. Healing 5 health for 0 mana is nothing to be snuffed at.

If there's a deathrattle demon like a 1/1 for 3 mana that spawns a 5/5 on death, I'd play sac pact just for that.

I prefer it at 3 so some silly combo can still be done with albatross. Also, allowing it to come out 1 mana earlier means its more effective at doing what it's supposed to be doing in the first place, mostly to block [card]zephrys the great[/card]. Blocking zephrys 1 turn earlier can be decisive in some games.

Agreed that dhunters will probably be too weak for wild, but as a new class introduced a few weeks back and being vastly outnumbered in terms of cards and years I think its only to be expected.

There's plenty of expansions in the future to prop up dhunters in wild. I think the priority should be on standard first.

After some thought I kinda agree somewhat with you on [card]bad luck albatross[/card]. Maybe a nerf to albatross to a 2/2 for 3 mana is perhaps a little too far. Conventionally a tech card should be around 1 mana slower than vanilla, so maybe as a 3/2 is more appropriate.

Mecha'thun warlock already play cards like [card]emperor thaurissan[/card] to …

We can give Blizzard a pass on that though, it's good to see them quickly reacting to their new class.

 

YOU can give them a pass if you want, Flux, but personally I feel like I'm getting whiplash from trying to play this game. This …

There's already very few hearthstone tournaments, and what with this virus around we're basically stuck at home for most periods, and then the idea is to ensure that we get to watch only the very final moments of the entire thing?

That's a bad move in my opinion. I was looking forward to grandmasters since DoD, and to find …

[card]Battlefiend[/card] - either 1/2 or 2/1. If the idea is to preserve dhunter competitively, then it would be a 1/2. Its still not that weak as a 1/2 honestly, but will definitely hit the class.

[card]Altruis the outcast[/card] - this one is obvious. The nerf will remove its ability to hit the face. Honestly, that was what's broken about …

Vanessa VanCleef at last? Or maybe its Eudora from RoS adventure. Also, what happened to the supposed mage skin, Celeste, or something like that.

Judging historically, it might be a hearthstone only character, something a little light hearted.

Always nice to see more tournaments from hearthstone. Its been kinda barren these last 2 years. There used to be a time where you can watch hearthstone tournaments every 2 weeks or something.

There's an old saying "assume the best intentions of those who engage in discourse with you. Respond to the STRONGEST possible argument that they would present, not the weakest...otherwise you are talking past each other, not to each other."

I don't know why you're starting off with this, considering that in your original post …

Its just one of those things that I think should be general enough so it stays in evergreen, so we're not playing that same congo with priest's many many many AoE cards in wild.

On that note, acolyte fits in well. I think the real intention is to highlight class limitations/weakness, with some unintended effects (I seriously doubt control …
