Nah Murkeye is Wild format only now.
Murkeye is a huge portion of the burst from that card. It also makes the second Anyfin a lot weaker too because you can't get double Murkeye for like 30 damage.

Hm. Cursed is a good card if you get it early. It controls the flow of battle and if your opponent doesn't get rid of it, they take alotta damage.
Wow. This just keeps getting fucking worse.
This new expansion had really better not be a TGT style dud.
sent you a request from owzers, i'll give it a try if you still need a watch.

Well, in fairness, part of why TGT fell flat was because it couldn't measure up to how broken Naxx and GvG were. And I'd much rather see sets that are similar to TGT power level than GvG power level.
Yep, I keep trying to make decks without gvg/naxx cards, but they are very inconsistent against the gvg/nax stuff.
You really feel it when you start over with a new account and use one of the Trump free decks. Matchups that should be easy, you simply have no answers for. Druid is the major exception of course, because nobody expects trees on ladder.

So no recommendation on which of the 3 booster packs i should buy?

I guess I should craft greenskin for the free parrots
With Standard mode coming soon and Goblins vs Gnomes and Nax adventure going strictly to the "wild" mode, i'd get Classic packs until you start having most of the rares/commons you want from them.

Ok thanks. I dont really mess with rank since i get smoked 9 times out of 10 in casual but standard it is!

Honestly, the lower ranks of ranked mode are generally easier than casual, especially this late in the month.

Oh wow really? Well ill give it a try tomorrow! I hope you're right, it would be nice if i could win more matches, played 5 games today and lost all 5, 2 out out of those 5 i didnt even get to damage the enemy hero. I despise decks that revolve around taunt. Im used to losing and all but god damn it's the worst when you go the whole game and you couldnt even do 1 damage to the enemy

Don't forget to work on board control and making positive trades over hitting face

Another combo deck bites the dust, i bet freeze mage is also going to be nerfed

no, only the 2nd shadowform does
that is dumb, because justicar empowers your hero power if its finley'd.
just be consistent.
the card text says "a better version of your STARTING hero power", but if you finley into another hero power, that gets buffed.
they should just either do one or the other. either buff your starting hero power or buff your current hero power.
i'd prefer the second because that makes fallen hero x 2 + justicar the dream.
Think of it as "Basic" hero powers are buffed; i.e. the ones you can start with.
That said, I agree the wording could be better. I think "basic" would be better.

they better....

Reward cards should be evergreen
Still salty about that comeback bro..
Combos left in standard right now.
Worgen. Are they going to remove charge spell? I wouldn't be surprised, limits design space and all that.
Malygos decks, notably rogue. It has never been a imposing deck, just like worgen, I don't think so.
Freeze mage. Alex is probably getting nerfed. So yeah.
Faceless, Arcane Golem/Leeroy/PO. I think PO needs to be 2 mana actually and Arcane Golem generally is too good. Making the combo cost more is possible I guess.

frodan already stated that blizz doesn't like the nonwinnable/favored matchups so freeze mage is gonna get changed. Don't know how though

Yong Woo was on the Well Met podcast the other day and he essentially said the combo decks the Hearthstone team wants to see flourish are ones similar to post-nerf Patron Warrior, so I would expect decks that rely on charge or spell burst to slowly be eradicated from Hearthstone.
Ice blocks, it's always ice blocks. That was an echo mage too that managed to get back to back ice blocks.
Gadgetzan to be nerfed into oblivion confirmed.

Here is where he talks about it if people want more than just my general paraphrasing.

Hard to say that when we don't know what the nerfed cards are going to be. If they make big nerfs to Molten Giants or stuff like Knife Juggler... who knows what the strongest decks will be.
Saving that podcast in case Blizzard prints cards that are basically reprints of preview cards (ie. Ice Rager).
John Woo specifically said they aren't going to be reprinting new versions of older card so if they do that then it's time to bring out the blast mic.
Also if what the guy is saying is true... no way does Freeze Mage survive the culling. He specifically said that lots of damage with little to no board is a big no and no while specifically calling out charge and spell burst strategies.

Where are these mythical "next card drawn after map was the monkey" shenanigans for me? It keeps ending up at the bottom of my decks
Every time. Playing her on 4, getting the card in the last 5 of my deck.
There were a few discussions on this topic on reddit.

TLDR:
Well, I guess if you really want a gold version. You can also just craft the golden Murk Eye straight up after the format split rolls out.
Since I have no Golden Classic Murlocs, it would cost me 4000 dust to get him. Its just not worth it.

IIRC, they said ~20 cards are getting adjusted. It isn't too hard to recognize which cards are on everyone's mind.
