After finishing the free card quests and spending just a bit of credits on card packs (I was considering leaving most of it in case I return at a better time for control players who like to face off against other control decks) ... yeah, this news just makes my planned walking away easier.

In your face grinds aren't …

What's better than countering cards as a control deck? DISCARDING YOUR OPPONENTS CARDS BEFORE they can play them! Woe to OTK players in particular, as [card]Gnomeferatu[/card], [card]Skulking Geist[/card], [card]Rin, the First Disciple[/card] and the [card]Howlfiend[/card] + [card]Treachery[/card] combo are in this deck, waiting to ruin the opponent's hand or deck. 

This was a favorite of mine for …

Thought you might list wild decks as well.

Ran into a Raza Priest using [card]Archivist Elysiana[/card] last night when he ran out of ammo, er, cards; with that in play I thought my control mage was out of tricks to stay alive until he used Azalina Soulthief, sacrificing his four cards for my ... [card]Skulking Geist[/card]. Maybe he thought …

I am wondering if the new Setthek card, along with Lyra the Sunshard, could generate a wild spell priest deck. Probably too chaotic to be successful compared to how Setthek is helping me out in standard.

Other than that, it's Razakus or Big Rez, both expensive. Run into the former far more than the latter at least.

Treachery Warlock vs. Handbuff/Libram of Wisdom-spam Paladin. It degenerated into a quality clown fiesta.

Went into fatigue, a lot of board clears, a [card]Lorewalker Cho[/card] sighting, a use of [card]Void Contract[/card] by the paladin, milling on both sides and some great cards provided to me by Anduin, who gave me a copy of [card]Shirvallah, the Tiger[/card] for a useful …

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's still worth carrying [card]Unseen Saboteur[/card] in my Wild highlander packages.

Useless in Standard at the moment, but in Wild it has been an all-star and worth pairing with Brann Bronzebeard. Card has won many games against warlocks (Cataclysm or Bloodbloom goes off, you win; even had a miracle against Darkest Hour Warlock having his …

For one such as me who hates aggro and smorc and likes long control games, challenging OTK or off the wall memes, this is probably the lowest point in years. Just nothing BUT DH, hunters and rogue. Rez Priest is less exciting when you can't throw in Hakkar the Soulflayer to spice troll things up with highlanders and mirror matches …

Definitely 12. Mages can spawn spells and freeze the board pretty well in Wild.

We need a tech card that sets quests back in the next expansion. An epic or lower minion that takes two points away, that will help.

I've only succeeded in using [card]Unseen Saboteur[/card] three times against mages who've completed the quest; and [card]Dirty Rat[/card] …

Not feeling that need for a Sac Pact nerf. It just got back into vogue because demons are everywhere and being played by more than one class, and Lord J (who has pining the bench since Frozen Throne) needs another weakness other than 15 health.

And I'm not even playing warlock at the moment.

Don't diss [card]Unseen Saboteur[/card]. It wins lots of games for me in Wild. Standard just doesn't run old-school style OTK decks or feature control vs. control anymore.

(Sees another warlock's Cataclysm going off, a druid milling his own cards or wasting a Big Priest Rez before they've dropped a minion)

Fellow Priest players, Zetalot has returned, and his meme deck is fun and unusual, and it's streaky enough to consider.

So for those griping about being tired of Highlander or Rez, here's a new deck to try. Do mind the warnings (HSReplay at time of writing 49.6% of a small sample), but perhaps, it is the start of something …

Just watched Kripp get bored on Twitch; he was reading off stats. He faced 90% demon hunters and the class was according to meta statistics, with a 70-ish percent win rate, pushing every other class below 50 percent (Hunter was No. 2 with 49%).

He did have a nice streak using rez priest.

Have to say this might …

Wall of Text Incoming -- Hearthstone Opening Day Stats

Opened 90 Packs, all F2P. DID NOT BUY ANY SETS (1. Looked at the cards and just saw boring aggro, little support for control and no fun memes -- laughing as I see Kripp bored from endless demon hunter opponents and the class has pushed everything to less than 50% …

5 years, 11 months ago · on Best pack opening ever.

The damage after turn card and 10-damage on wake up minion do need to be greatly reduced.

Also, wasn't demon hunters identity weakness supposed to be card draw? Seems like they got a lot.

/can't let priest get card draw or face damage, though, that's the class identity

1-0 wild vs. an Odd-using Demon Hunter. Grants them +2 damage on hero power btw. I was using Highlander anti-OTK mage.

Once Frost Lich Jaina and the elementals started spawning, it was over. And summoning more 1-1s isn't smart against FLJ.

Illidan can silence taunts, but he can't do anything frozen. That new 8-mana freeze spell spawning two …

Yeah I got some success with stealing as Priest but I did come up blank with a time I tried to take a neutral card from AI Demon Hunter via Madam Lazul. Weird.

You can play against the Demon Hunter AI in practice.

Best way to describe it: runs out of cards fast, can pack the board like warlock while going face with weapons like warrior AI.

Relentless in trying to bring your health down like Hunter AI, but good taunts and board clears can pretty much make it easier than any …

Something to add: A possible reason to carry [card]Shadow Madness[/card] in the next expansion.

Most of the deathrattle cards that add a "Legendary PRIME" from the upcoming expansion can be stolen by the new, slimmer [card]Shadow Madness[/card], which historically shines against deathrattles (often in Hearthstone 3 attack or less) as you get the result if you kill the minion …

Nearly all the deathrattle "get a superOMGWTFBBQ prime shuffled into deck" can be stolen by Priest using [card]Cabal Shadow Priest[/card] or the new, slimmer mana [card]Shadow Madness[/card]. And Teron Gorefiend too.

Hope for control players still, but a lot of aggressive/tempo so far (as of 3/21).

Yeah lets print more cards that support a very funny and totally not broken archetype in wild.

Seriously, that archetype is so boring and overplayed

I play wild control mage WITHOUT QUEST and I'm getting compliments from opponents for not using that or secret …
