Wild Quest Mage is dead... Hell... It's about damn time!
I personally didn`t have a big problem with Quest Mage playing Aggro Priest for myself.
Still I love see this deck dead, because it gave a lot of deck types no chance. Without Quest Mage the meta should be get more diverse therefor I welcome the death of this deck.
Dragon Aggro Priest should probably be "dead" also, because 8 dragons is too much / too slow for an aggro deck I think.
Dragon Combo Priest could still be a thing and Aggro non dragon Priest should be still viable - especially with the buff to the angel.
At the moment I don`t play Standard (the meta it is too slow for my taste), but I have fun with Shadow Surimi Priest in Wild (became Legend this weak).
Normally I am always happy about nerfs because -> free dust.
At this point it is very difficult to "balance" Wild: When one very strong deck is nerfed, another deck takes its place. In Wild there are always some decks, which feel "op".
For this reason "balance" in Wild can in my opnion only be to prevent one deck to be so totally broken (most of the time combo decks), that the whole meta is warped around it.
At the moment there is no such deck, so Wild is "pretty balanced" at the moment. Still there are some decks which could be nerfed to give Wild a little bit of "fresh air" -> I think Bomb Rogue, Aggro Priest, Quest Mage, Even Paladin and Quest Warlock are candidates. We will see which decks get nerfed...
"The answer is simple enough, for me at least: I'm uninstalling Hearthstone."
Did I write the wrong internet address? Did I land on hearthpwn.com? Another "I quit HS!" post in which someone explains at length why they are quitting. Whatever... bye! For my part, I keep playing Hearthstone. I play since Open Beta have all cards I need, have a few k gold and over 100.000 dust. The game became 100% free to play for me since years. Negative changes to quests, real money offers and pre order nonsense don`t bother me. HS is much more generous than in the early days. Most players seem to have forgotten this or haven't been playing the game long enough. Of course, not everything is good and that can also be criticized. But it's definitely not so bad that you have to stop playing because of it. But instead of trying to find a balanced view that also looks at the positive aspects (e.g. that there are many more balance updates than in the past), people just complain about comparatively small things.
Hmm, I don`t think Cabal Lackey is viable anymore. It is really bad now compared to Anonymous Informant.
It is a relevant nerf to Secret Mage, but the deck will still be viable.
I don`t like the change to Shadow Essence. I don`t think this will make a difference. Big Priest will still be the same level of annoyence than before.
I am very excited about the new Wild expansion an the new Version of Twist.
Old Gods is my favourite expansion of all time. I really hope C`Thun will be viable again.
I am especially happy about the new expansion, because even after I bought all the Titans packs I needed, I have over 9000 gold left at the moment and over 100.000 dust (yes, over one hundred thousand) and I don`t know what to do with it. I am happy to spend some resources. :)
Wow, completely deleting Pillager Rogue and Quest Mage... this was unexpected for me.
Discard Warlock should be way less good now, but should still be "playable" - maybe with a more minion heavy build again.
Sadly no nerf to Big Priest again. Yeah, yeah, I know Big Priest is no top deck at the moment - but still the most frustrating deck (for me) to play against if it highrolls.
This game mode was fun for me for like 5-6 weeks. Then I completely lost interest in it. I only come back to it to complete some quests quickly.
I hope they put this mode in the "other game mode" section and get another mode back on the "front menue" like Tavern Brawl, Arena or the single player mode.
Is there any way to beat Renathal Reno decks with aggro after this patch?
80 HP is way too much to stand a chance it feels like :( ...

Contro, control, control cards... how long can this go on?
I hope there will be more skins at the same time.
There are some old skins I whould pay gold for if they were available.
As a Wild main player I don`t care much about Standard.
It is my "side mode" if I want to have a break from Wild now and then.
Can we lower the starting health instead?
In modern Hearthstone there are waaaay too many tools to gain health and armor.
In "good old HS" health was a resource you have to think about and manage it. There were only a few cards to push or refill your health.
But nowadays most classes can just spam removals and health gaining cards with very little or even no relevant board interaction at all.
All this overpowered control tools make modern HS in a lot of games very uninteractive.
Oh and yeah, I take all the downvotes from the control players out there. Throw them all over me! :)
It is a relevant nerf to Secret Mage, but the deck will still be viable.
I don`t like the change to Shadow Essence. I don`t think this will make a difference. Big Priest will still be the same level of annoyence than before.
All other changes I can agree with. :)
Soooo much duuuuust! ^.^
With all these nerfs Pirate Rogue should be playable again and I can continue my effort to get 1.000 Rogue wins. (I hope so.)
So many changes will change the meta for sure.
Feels way faster than Old Gods Meta back then.
Still I am able to climb with my Jade-C`Thun-Rogue so far.
No strong deck, but I have fun at the moment.
Sadly most of the new cards will be useless in Wild. :(
Only Invigorate is a significant buff to Druid - which didn`t need it at all.
Maybe 2-3 of the other cards could be used ... we will see.

Solid Alibi -> 3 mana
Lab Constructor -> 5 mana

2 Mana Soul of the Forest?
This is insane! x_X
Wow, a really strong 1 drop for Pirate Rogue. O.O
Ok, this Pala legy looks interesting. Even in a normal Pure Pala deck this draws you 1-2 cards (maybe even 3), which make the card allready good.
If I don`t buy the mini set, I will craft this legy for sure. :)
The legendarys are looking "meh" for me so far.
I am not sure if I should by the mini-set or not. :/
What do you think?
