awesome, big priest gets 1 mana increase that will make zero difference meanwhile apm druid gets banned out of the fucking game despite taking 10x the skill to pull off. so sick of seeing every single interesting combo deck not just nerfed but completely banned from existing, this is not how you balance a game, you give other decks the tools to combat the combo decks instead of deleting them.
every other archetype can get whatever they want but as soon as any combo/tempo deck gets any amount of play it has to be nerfed to nonexistence or banned completely. even naga mage, the highest skill cap deck in standard gets slapped for being too strong. does it not occur to anyone at blizzard that there might be players whose primary interest in the game is playing decks that reward you for being able to play well and quickly with big tempo turns or cool combos? finally for the first time since apm mage was ruined combo players had a high apm combo deck to learn and play and get better at and they just have to ruin it.
listen my balls are swollen like grapefruits from this news and im very excited
but who the fuck let iksar back into the office to make Kabal Crystal Runner a 6/5? this deck already ruins my games brother this is the last card that needed a buff
blizzard can still space out their content without shutting down twist for a month. going into this we expected to see a new format every month, not have to wait a month with no twist for every new format.
they without a doubt could have come up with something interesting for august and it wouldn't have taken away from the expansion because obviously people are going to be more focused on the completely brand new massive standard expansion than they will be twist regardless of what the new format is. twist also could offer new ways of using those new expansion cards. nothing about twist inherently takes attention away from the new expansion.
dungeon runs are completely unique content from traditional hearthstone; twist is traditional hearthstone, just with a less conventional format. there's absolutely no reason (other than laziness/greediness) to not make a twist format for a month. if anything, they're missing out on a potential way to further promote the new expansion.
the titan idea is great, clearly taking inspiration from planeswalkers in mtg. however, whatever underpaid card designer decided to give the druid one a free reno is actually smoking meth, completely terrible idea. everything else is cool, but that shit is going to be broken if it launches with that.
insane to me that they're not nerfing Hollow Hound, in my experience hound has by far been the most influential card for both hunter and dk. if you get it on 6 against any aggressive deck you usually just win, especially since it almost never dies from the first attack so your opponent likely has to attack into it to kill it.
