Yeah, as an independent 4 drop he's worse than mogu'shan warden. Then you either need to proc 2 deathrattles from smaller minions or one big minion to get value from him. And he has anti-synergy with a lot of cards like dancing swords or deathlord. He's a very situational card.

Personally I found they stealth nerfed it with the introduction of the 2/8 taunter and soon to be a 2/3 1 mana minion. On top of that Ghoul may strictly be for warrior but it is a strong anti-zoo card.
I am starting to see a greater variety of decks now that naxx has been released instead of zoo and miracle every other game.

yeah ghoul is pretty good in priest.
but i have a feeling that zombie chow and that undertaker are going to make zoo even more annoying.
I will be incredibly shocked if they nerf warlock/zoo, especially before Druid. It's more likely they do a class overhaul in my opinion. New hero power befitting the class, class specific cards completely redone and not as bad as the current ones. Hype it up as a major patch for the game like they did the WoW class overhauls and bingo.
Why does card dust value have any relevance? The difficulty of balancing the cards is not making the overall situation worse and to not be constantly tweaking things. The dust value is a non-factor as is.
We talk about Zoo more often than I see Zoo.
The nerf I think makes the most sense is that they discard cards regardless of whether or not your hand I empty. It stays a strong card for the cost, but running it with an empty hand would be a gamble.
I feel like the best part of Naxx cards is that it's made Control Paladin viable again. In 5 or 6 games I've only lost to a gimmick priest once and zoo once. It's still not super strong against zoo, but that's to be expected. Either way it's definitely a competitive deck again.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
First arena game, dude kills my deathlord and gets Ysera for it.
This fuckin game.
This fuckin game.
I think it's about 50-50. Depends on the start really. If they get a strong start and you didn't draw / mulligan into board wipe and early presence, it's a lost game. The other way around though, they'll have trouble going through the endless taunts and having to follow the rules.
True, against strong aggro control pally has, and will continue to struggle if draws don't go well. Control vs control though with Pally running Sludge and Spectral Knight I've found Pally is favored.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Does this mean "fuck Yoshichan" too?
Another Hearthstone tournament being streamed now.

1st game is Forsen vs Reynad.
edit: oh god they mixed up the players between Forsen and Reynad so the casters think that Forsen is playing Handlock when he's actually the Druid

Know what's better than two Druids of the Claw?
4 of them!
I'd take Claws anyday over Knight.
And first game perfectly illustrating what's wrong with Druid.

it's 9 mana for 14 damage stop being a baby and learn how to play against druid!
Mmh, I don't run Spectral Knight but I feel I've won most of my vs control matches with the kolento deck anyway.
No it isn't. It's 9 mana for 14 damage, unless you also happen to have any other minions on board, which is a very common occurrence.
And it's not even the combo I dislike the most, it's the Ancient of Cards.

it's a 7 mana 5/5.
Soulfire can fuck you up so badly.. I've had so many occasions that what I got was "deal 4 damage, discard Leeroy Jenkins." And one way or another, at least Warlock games are usually quick because they accelerate everything. I will take that over Priests running you down to fatigue game after game.
You might wanna read the card ability.
Did the anime fan art give that away?
Anything that makes Forsen look like a role-player is A-OK with me!
edit: Holy shit that Forsen come-back is amazing!

Is there any reason why they're using portraits instead of livecams for the player faces?
Why is everyone's neck SO LONG?
