How is it more boring to watch than other decks? OTK is the only bad uninteractive part and without OTK it wouldn't be frustrating to play against. I mean, grim patron was created for synergy with warsong, no one thinks that grim patron is overpowered and now it's useless.
Except why would people run Control Warrior in a Patron-less meta. The whole point of playing Freeze Mage is that you're expecting less Warriors compared to other matchups, Zoo will rise up and Freeze is favored against that as well.
Correct. They took the OTK out by removing Warsong Commander. There wasn't another way to do it.

Warsong effect is an aura, fixed.
There was. Warsong Commander - Your minions with 3 or less attack have charge
But instead Blizzard opted for the most retarded nerf possible. Now besides Warsong Commander Grim Patron and Frothing Berserker are shit tier cards.
If Freeze Mage rises then CW is always there to keep it in check. That's the point.
Though you are certainly right about the return of Zoolock.

Fuck patron I'm so happy
Hey, my uncle works for Blizzard, and he gave me a sneak peek at other changes to powerful cards the dev team is working on:
Emperor Thaurissan: 6 mana 3/3, and the beginning of your turn you have a 25% chance to decrease one card in your hand's cost by 0-1.
Mad Scientist: 2 mana 0/1. Deathrattle: Draw a random secret, it costs (2) more.
Mysterious Challenger: 6 mana 2/2. Battlecry: Uninstall Hearthstone.

Mysterious Challenger: 6 mana 2/2. Battlecry: Uninstall Hearthstone.
MC already makes me want to do that.
I approve of this change.
So we are not going to see a Mysterious Challenger nerf until 2 months after the next expansion...
Also when's the Dr Balanced nerf?

Would be cool if they made warsong 5 mana 3/2, god tier trolling.
Possibly. They like to add in cards that can counter it first and see if they work.
They seem fine with him since he's a card that slots in many decks, but is not a dominant deck himself.
That's another issue I have with Blizzard they are way too reluctant when it comes to buffs and nerfs. Instead of trying out small card changes regularly they choose to nuke a card/deck once in a blue moon.
I never imagined that Blizzard would make the card worse than a Raid Leader when they could have started by reverting the buff they gave to Warsong and see where that went instead of the most heavy handed approach possible.
They have the ability to change what they want, but they take the most heavy handed approach which just gives rise to the next cheapest decks in the meta.

Warsong Commander should at least be a 2 mana, at least it can work with Grom in a single turn.
Anyway, I'm glad they will nerf it.

Card and deck are now thoroughly dead. But Blizzard always seems to go to extreme overkill when nerfing cards.

A part of me is happy because losing from an empty board with 30 HP is beyond broken but another part of me is sad because that means grim patron warrior as a deck is probably dead, this change kills the deck completely which is kinda a bummer because it was such a high skill deck and.......who am i kidding this is great, get fucked Patron and Xixo
so uhhhh. delete your patron decks, literally just dead.
what a stupid fucking nerf. I guess I should have expected it, killing decks that do interesting things is what blizzard is all about. One day they will have the utopia they're looking for where the game can be played by greedy algorithm. fucking idiots.

seems like people who are happy about this are the ones that are salty about patron warrior in general.
He's right though.
Most decks these days are very flowcharty. Only Handlock requires any modicum of thought or choice.
Any variation in actual games these days comes from RNG, rather than from deliberate player decisions.

Good point. The meta in hearthstone can change overnight.

Don't people realise that this will make secret paladin even more cancerous and it's braindead deck.

so is patron. it just requires a lot of adding to figure out if you have lethal. it's a bad deck with no hard counter. good fucking riddance.
lol
I think Blizzard really needs to change cards a lot more in general, but ok.
So, basically every competitive HS player?
Charge Warrior new meta.
I've played with Axe Flinger in aggro enrage Warrior before. It is probably better than Yeti in that deck, but probably not better than Shredder or Korkron Elite.

That's exactly why they keep adding RNG, to try and keep it from turning further and further into VS System.
I hate to see any deck get removed from the game, especially one that worked great against aggro.
The nerf seems extreme and it turns the warsong commander into something completely useless.
I think patron decks might survive, but they can't depend on 1 turn kills. They will reduce card draw and put in minions that fight for the board and they will need to include some late game to finish off the opponent.
They could also switch over to using the Charge spell, which still enables a OTK with a single frothing, but not 2.
