Slow down there, Wretched Tiller! Our farming friend was going a little too fast on his tractor and got caught by the Blizzard police and will be serving some time in jail next week.
Dean Ayala confirmed on Twitter this evening that a change will be arriving "sometime next week" for the interaction which may just be the easiest OTK combo to pull off in a game. Until that happens, we recommend staying away from Wild because the ladder is absolutely infested with vine hysteria! Not sure how the interaction works? Want to make people hate the fact they decided to queue? Here's how it goes!
- Play Wretched Tiller.
- Make the Tiller immune by playing Deathspeaker.
- Cast Hysteria.
There will, of course, need to be other minions in play for this to work as Wretched Tiller will need to perform at least 15 attacks, dealing 15 damage to minions in the process and 30 to the enemy hero. No details have been provided on how the interaction will be nerfed.
And Wild fans say Blizzard never gives them any nerfs. Sorry, I had to say it, you can't give me a podium and have me not make a comment like that. Love you.
Quote From IksarHS Looking to get a change out for the Tiller/Hysteria interaction sometime next week. Hope this farmer enjoys his time in the sun while it lasts!

Does anybody ever play Windfury with Tiller? Because that would break that interaction.
I do not think deathspeaker has been nearly as impactful as you think. I am almost certain that this is the first time it has ever seen play since it was released. I think changing tiller's effect is the way to go because deathspeaker sees play in arena and tiller hasn't seen play in years.
You dont play Arena then 😁
I don’t think it was oppressively viable, but I think there used to be a Deathspeaker + Knife Juggler + Dreadsteead + Defile combo. In general, giving Immune as opposed to divine shield can lead to unintended combos.
It was with Grim Patron not Dreadsteed, and you needed 2 defiles as defile cap at 14.
Also Dreadsteed got nerfed before defile came to prevent defile+Dreadsteed combo.
Don’t stay away from wild, it’s very fun to counter the tiller otk decks while you can with different ways like a rogue deck with Flik Skyshiv and Wretched Tiller and tons of draw or if you want a more generally competitive deck a hunter deck with tons of counters like Freezing Trap, Swamp King Dred, Snipe, and Desert Camel.
Mill Rogue eats it for breakfast, discard a combo piece and gg. I tried to counter it by increasing my chances in the mirror, some steal cards to fish for combo pieces in opponent's hand/deck to assemble the combo faster, and it worked for the most part 😁
How would Pressure Plate counter it? Wouldn't it trigger after Hysteria has already resolved and you are already dead?
Can confirm, Pressure Plate does not trigger until the opponent is already dead. I played one game of this combo and it was disgusting. I won on turn 7.
