A post beta non-nerfed card format. You can even take ladder out of such a format. I just hate not being able to play certain cards or entire decks completely because a nerf essentially deletes a card in a digital format with just the wrong change made to it. At least in physical card games bans, restrictions, and erratas can't prevent you from at least playing the original versions with friends. That's far from the case in a digital card game.
Many of the current permanent buff cards are midrange in nature. You need an upside for tailoring the playstyle a certain way sometime. If you up the cost of those buffed minions you become that much more worse against any control deck with actual removal because you also lose the ability to reload the board/apply pressure as midrange more effectively than at the minions' initial cost.
If you go out of your way to BM me (more than just a single emote or two) and I am winning then I will drag out your loss and BM you back infinitely more. Once in arena I was going to finish my turn and take lethal when my opponent started BM emoting for no reason other then the fact that they lost. In response I drug out the game for an extra 12-15ish turns, destroying every top decked minion (including Ysera), emote spamming them, roping, card hovering/target canceling, and I even healed them for 4-5 turns into fatigue with no cards left before letting fatigue take them.
I'm an Ice Cream Shaman player so naturally if your aim is to act like a douche on the internet you can bet I have no worries about putting forth the extra time or effort for a counterattack ;)
I played Yu-Gi-Oh for many years. more than once during tournament play. Customary handshakes and good game was expected after each match, regardless of how you felt about the match.
Imo, Hearthstone shouldn't be the exclusion for that simply because it is an online game. In all other card games it is actually good manners to well played or good game your opponent. Looking back on my years in HS I find it silly how many arbitrary and presumptuous rules the community dictates to itself for 'reasons'.
We can make all of the arbitrary nonsense we want about the entitlement of only well playing someone if only we had a good game (or the opponent) or we can just be adults and follow common courtesy during competition. When you think about it that way the choice to pick should be obvious.
How consistent have you found the card as a stand-alone or as a combo? I'm mainly asking hoping that as a combo it isn't too problematic in hopes that Mechwarper doesn't end up getting nerfed in wild.
Spectral Pillager Rogue has been my all-time favorite deck for my daily wild memetown needs. Your opponent never expects the OTK that will eventually come
The deck has always had a soft spot in my heart and I hope it doesn't end up getting killed due to abuse of SN1P SN4P mechanics.
I think it should also be pointed out that even when someone netdecks a very strong deck there is still the upside for you that you almost everything in that deck and know exactly how the deck aims to play. If you bring a less popular netdecked idea your opponent may not have that advantage over you. So if anything it benefits you if your opponent netdecks against you.
Well...that is how Rogues are supposed to be. If you give them too many "Big" options the class will be even more broken. It's not supposed to get those cards. Warriors and priest get those cards because they have awful tempo or miracle cards. Mage is the middle ground between the two.
How is that an option for warriors and priest and not for rogue though? You can't just say warriors and priests are bad at a playstyle and that is why that should be more of those cards and then just say rogue will be broken if they stop getting pigeonholed into tempo/combo/miracle. Rogue doesn't even have legitimate board clears or class healing so I don't see how rogue control would be close to broken.
Right now HS is lopsided in regards to how it diversifies the playstyle and feel of its 9 classes. Rogue has perhaps been kept the most stale of the classes. Meanwhile, warrior, priest, and mage, look nothing like how the classes first started when in vanilla HS (moving from control-only, spell dependent, and/or slow combo to every single playstyle in the game and sometimes even giving massive class healing to classes that almost completely lacked it).
Coming from a heavy combo/OTK player myself, I'm actually glad combo isn't super popular right now. It is healthy for different playstyles to take turns controlling the meta. If one playstyle rules for too long then extra heavy nerfs/deck killing usually follows.
And by big I don't mean actual Big Rogue, but more along the lines of N'Zoth/Deathrattle Rogue or Jade Rogue.
Warriors, priests, and mages frequently get to spin the class identity/deck type wheel and completely change their playstyle, while rogue is kept stagnant for the longest time (tempo, combo, miracle).
Hey all, one thing that bugged me with our last stomping ground at Hearthpwn was the inability to properly label some of my decks with their proper, or less known, deck types. If they weren't listed in the list we had for that class then we just had to choose "Unknown". However, with Out of Cards I see that now there isn't an Unknown option when crafting decks (unless I'm mistaken, which is entirely possible) so I have to just select the deck description label that most resembles my actual deck.
Is there a possibility to create custom deck labels or expand the list of available deck creation labels?
Agreed. This isn't meant to be an insult, but some people are honestly terrible at deck building. Net decking opens up avenues for those players to actually expand what decks they might otherwise try or be able to build themselves.

Goodbye Big decks, hello GIANT decks!

Did Kripp actually get lucky or something? Did that cause this?
"Ongoing issues"
Although I have to really wonder why people ever thought a card would be eligible for dust refunds when it was made better, not worse.
