Comments
Blizzard can easily nerf Deck of Lunacy and the no minion mage archetype will still be strong, running C'thun instead of Lunacy is still a Tier one deck imo but fairer (Refreshing Spring Water makes the deck nuts). Paladin on the other hand needs a few nerfs imo, Pen Flinger is way too strong with zero mana Librams and the Secret Weapon is too strong for a 2 drop. If it just pulled a secret maybe but to equip a 1/3 Weapon, draw a card and play a 1 mana Secret for 2 mana is too much, its so good you don't really care which secret it is. Pen Flinger needs to be minions only.
Mage is very bad vs. aggro, but currently nobody can play aggro because of Paladin and watch posts.
I’m not running this priest deck but am running a control priest similar. Cthun, Yogg, ysera, malygos, all give you so much gas and value. It’s really fun. Especially in a meta that I’m having trouble finding any deck I enjoy. (Don’t know if anyone else feels the same, but I was so excited for this expansion and then it dropped and I have struggled to find a deck I enjoy).
Unsurprisingly, no hunter decks. The class was completely destroyed by bad cards in this expansion.
Yeah god forbid Hunter being bad after 2 years
Lock and Load Hunter is actually decent and very fun to play. Beast Hunter is not bad either.
Hunter is like 3rd best class according to HS replay in standard, but it is mostly face hunters which is boring... warrior got destroyed though...
True.
Along with Rogue and Druid, Hunter is the only non-Paladin class with a pair of decks in the green on HSReplays. However, the overall Hunter class win-rate isn't helped by having the worst deck in the class (Beasts, 45% WR) being played three-times as often as its two best decks combined (Aggro and Combo Hunter, both with 51% WR.) The most-popular Aggro Hunter list on the site plays nine cards from Barrens, while the Combo deck plays ten. While the class didn't get many smorc-y replacements for the cards it lost to rotation, some of the cards it received are certainly doing well.
Lunacy mage, but no libram Paladin?
We've covered Libram paladin enough :P. Paladin is currently destroying the ladder and certainly doesn't need any more help spreading the holy light.
And Lunacy mage needs it you say?
Yeah, Lunacy Mage is bonkers right now. I'm running into it about 50% of matches in Standard, and it's so good I started playing it myself!
Turn 2: Deck of Lunacy
Turn 3/4: Arcane Intellect/Refreshing Spring Water
Turn 5: you've already won
You are lucky they play just AI/refreshing on 3/4 against you and not Skull of Gul'Dan
Apparently they need to nerf Skill of Gul'dan to 2 mana, so Deck of Lunacy can't transform into it anymore /s
