Was talking about pally which has mostly switched to anyfin to counter the meta. Anyfin package is just better in the metagame right now.

Also yeah, Nzoth isn't leaving anything, i just think it will decline from being the premiere lategame wincon to being one of the lategame wincon with better fatigue lists, razakus and jades (UI) getting better.

Wasn't Anyfin always better? I've always found it far more difficult to deal with, at least.

Game is gonna be fucking horrific for nearly three months

Might have to go Wild or Arena for a while

Wild is way more toxic than Standard right now, unfortunately.

i swear, i don't see skulking geist anywhere on ladder when play other deck, but i switch to jade idol deck, everyone has one on curve. but, that's why i made hybrid naga giants crossed with jade deck, cause either way i bleed out a bunch of 8/8 cancer!

https://hsreplay.net/replay/9vANv5QBhNCVFtSxizVQdH

naga is super good with ultimate infestation, since if it draws any of the giants, they are almost guaranteed to be free. therefore u are getting half a hand full of cards, 2 5/5s guaranteed, plus free 8/8(s?). this will happen twice during the game if ur lucky and it forces tf out of removal which can let the jades start jammin. you can drop black knight or mulch for another giant for sure, but maybe the 4 mana ramp would be better since you just want to ramp , draw, and drop big things anyway.

here's my last game, this is why naga needs to die lol BUT, if you drop it and a bunch of 8/8s, you really force your opponent and if they don't have removal, it's just win. ultimate infestation on mana 6, + free 8/8s = yes

No answer to Naga is the worst. I can't deal with the 5-mana UI.

That deck needs to die before it was born.

 

[rahji]

played against a control mage. He was losing and played yogg and it casted sap on my buffed highmane, gave him an iceblock and cleared the rest of my board. wtf, the perfect answer.

next game: shaman evolves a 1 and a 2 drop. He gets wickerflame and millhouse manastorm. what did I get from my jeweled macaw? silverback patriach and pantry spider. Well, thanks rng!

people are lucky today

Oof this Brawl, really let's you see how Blizzard thought the classes would turn out.

How does the Priest Brawl deck not have Raza?!?

what were they thinking when they thought of making warlock recipe a zoo deck.

Good to get dust before the season ends. I need it to craft Raza as I'm close to golden Mage and I'm down to three classes to rank with.

You're telling me, why couldn't Shaman and Warlock be the Murloc classes?

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

My first golden legendary as well.

I think I got him on my very first pack actually.

Wish I played mage as much as I used to.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

because they were pushing totem shaman and spell damage shaman at the time. Discardlock for warlock.

Man Oktober Brawl has completely backfired it only shows the frustrations as a new player on ladder.

are people really watching it? I forgot after yesterday and I don't see much hype into it since the people playing are running terrible decks because of limitations

Watched Krip get annihilated with his budget zoo deck.

Should have done a 24 hour challenge where streamers use a new account and try to get as high on the ladder as possible.

Just getting to 10 is a fucking chore when you only want to play Tier 2 decks and not being a slobbering piece of shit Druid or Raza Priest.

Good lord, this Shaman deck in the brawl.

If this is how Blizzard envisions Shaman to be then this class is hopeless lol.

Ben takes a little more about the Naga sea witch change:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/6zw2kp/nerfs_will_go_live_on_september_18th/dmyl6ko/

one important extract:

We made the change because we think these rules are easier to understand because they're more consistent with other parts of the game, not because we wanted to buff Naga Sea Witch. We were worried about it's power level and have been watching the play/win reports in Wild. Right now it's not one of the best decks, but it could grow in winrate as players get more practice. If it does become a big problem, we'd probably nerf Naga Sea Witch, rather than reverting the rules change.

Yes people who play good decks are pieces of shit.

At least I have the common decency to avoid these decks, even with the cards available to me.

Who the fuck am I convincing, this shit happens every meta and people who abuse certain deck's slightly absurd power levels are never going away.

Fuck me for trying to have fun in Ranked, right?

 

[wiibomb]

if they ever change the card, I believe it will take at least 2 months from now... I think wild is optimized much slower than standard and they still need a lot of data to just consider the nerf

 

[G.ZZZ]

I hope they change it to "Battlecry: your next card cost 5" so i can still play giant hunter.

Hunter sucks feelsbadman

You're not a better person than me because you play a shitty deck and I play a good one. It's a game and I have as much right as you to play any deck I want and have the cards for.

Spent my entire lunch hour trying to earn my pack in TB. Someone on reddit said Mage was good, I love ele Mage, queued it up, didn't draw the DK even once. Everyone just went wide and burst me down and I never got board clears from glyph or from my deck.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I also just realized that, in addition to my shiny new golden Toni, I also have golden Open the Waygate. I'm almost tempted to craft two golden Sorcerer's Apprentices now, just to complete a golden Quest Mage set.

I had a Win 5 Druid/Rogue quest, so played as Druid. I won 5 in a row.

 

[wiibomb]

this is weird.

I found the hunter recipe deck to be good. I kind if want to try it for real since it has been so consistent for me.

I would change just come cards like abominable bowman and umbra, aside from that I liked it.

N'Zoth Hunter isn't that bad right now and after the nerfs come in it's going to be even better because you won't have to worry as much about aggro. It also shits all over Raza Priest from my experience because you get on board faster and they don't have enough ways to deal with everything you play. Not to mention Deathstalker is essentially GG if you get it up reasonably early.

I'll definitely have to make the deck to at least try it.

I don't have DK rexxar, but I'll consider crafting it after checking the deck post nerfs.

This just happened to me in Arena:

I'm on Hunter, opponent is Rogue.

Turn 1: Jeweled Macaw, get Hungry Crab
Opponent Turn 1: Coin, Bilefin Tidehunter
Turn 2: I draw Elven Archer
Opponent Turn 2: "Smart moves. I concede."

The tavern brawl cemented by desire to craft jaina. Lots of fun. Not all the crappy elemental and freeze synergy though.


It's also fun to play average decks against other average decks.

I'm super tempted to craft it, especially since I have a golden Baron Geddon.....but as I mentioned earlier, I don't really play Mage anymore since I already reached 500 wins.

He's used right now. You play Benedictus, and then Hemet Nesingwary. Now your deck is nothing but the expensive cards from both decks put together, so you have a high chance of getting double Lich Kings and such.

You play hemet to quickly get to your raza, shadowreaper and benedictus. Then you benedictus so you don't fatigue.
