I would personally bring back none of those. Stuff I'd like to see come back is Echo of Medivh and the two neutral Troggs, Baron Rivendare. Stuff that is unique, has a niche and can help support a deck, but wasn't OP and in nearly every deck at the time.
no to all of these.
actually lightbomb can stay.
give priests more options than to just be thieving pieces of shit.
Doesn't matter, you'll still have Excavated Evil when I play Patron and Entomb when I play Grom. Greedy fucks.
Cabal cards love Minibot.
Playing Priest in Standard format is rough. I think even if Lightbomb were still in the meta, it can't remove a lot of new cards since their health values are higher than their attack values.
I find myself using all my time every turn since Priest decks don't allow room for error compared to other classes.
If you're playing a N'zoth deck on Priest, then it's a lot easier. Just play deathrattle minions.
Laddering doesn't seem like an option for players who only spent money on adventures if they want to play control.

I am DONE with arena until they fix these fucking servers. I'm losing one or two games every single run to disconnects. This is fucking absurd.

I'd love duplicate back too.
And yeah I really wouldn't want any of the Super strong cards back, there's a reason they rotated out immediately. Minibot and deaths bite are broken, Loatheb was in almost every single deck, he should've never been a 5/5 for 5, that's too efficient.
I want stuff like hobgoblin, explosive sheep, ships cannon, jeeves, Kezan Mystic, tree of life, feign death, echo, bolvar, voljin, ancestors call back. Cards that didn't dominate the meta but are unique and fill an important niche in the meta.

I am pretty sure I just went 29-1 with Target Dummy and Bolster in the Brawl, and it took under an hour... Whilst watching TV and eating food.
So they published every deck list players are bringing to Spring prelims tomorrow, now everyone knows what they're playing against, it's kinda boring now.
I guess when you showed up on stream you were in a disadvantage before and they want to remove that but if this is the norm in future, all the mind games with bans and such is gone.
edit:
like, this guy is bringing malyrogue with doomsayer, how cool is that. now it's spoiled.

This Brawl is great, but Mech Hunter is scum. Even if it can be countered, it's scum.
Lol why would they do that? -_- ruins the whole surprise factor for some of these guys.
According to xixo Twitter it seems like they had known about these since he said he can't link the decklists but he had them as of early yesterday.
He even posted his lists happily on his own Twitter before these were posted and he's fairly competitive and hasn't done that before a tourney before so idk
The same way you conuter every flood deck:
Old Deathwing + Innervate.
IMHO the bigger problem with the HS tourneys is the Conquest format. In that format all players are encouraged to bring the most generic "ladder" decks that can beat any other deck so even if you know their exact decklist it doesn't matter because most people aren't going to be bringing in decks with secret tech cards to hard counter other decks. Compare this to Last Hero Standing where you can easily 3-0 another player's line-up if you tech your decks out and that's where making unique decks comes into play.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This Brawl is legit.
While there are some cheese combos there are some other random ass combos that I see that make me go woaahhh never thought of that.

One or my favorite combos so far has been Quick Shot and Brave Archer. I've been lucky in my match ups though.

How can you even hope to beat Metal Leaper with that?
It enabled midrange Paladin to be a thing. I liked that deck. =(
apparently this shaman deck is really good? /and cheap/ It's not aggro. it seems to beat other disgusting decks like new zoolock very easily.

Can't view at work, or I'd let you know.
Are you playing an anti-aggro deck? If so, that's why. ;-)
I play Zoo but you know its can be nice to not face control deck with gazillion board clear and match ended quick win or lose

Yeah it'll handle the new Zoolock well because you've got a lot of board clear options.
Having Doomhammer + 2 Rockbiters means one you hit 7 mana you can lethal from 16 health, but I rarely have a situation where saving the second rockbiter is a good play.
Bloodlust gives you unexpected lethal setups too.
Azure drake and your totems help you get max value out of lightning storm.
Cult master makes trading your lower mama minions efficient, and of course the more bodies you have up by the time you have Bloodlust and/or Rockbiter, the better.
I'd almost call it a tempo Shaman deck, because it requires you to have more of a board presence than the other guy but it lets you set that up rather easily.
My deck is similar, but it's more totem / midrange. I don't have Faceless but I have Thunder Bluff Valiants, and the 1/1 for each totem card I can't remember the name of. No Cult Master, another Mana Tide Totem. A Master of Evolution and a second 1/1 totem buff instead of the Azure Drakes.
For me playing around board clears is the most difficult thing about Totem Shaman. Too easy to put everything on the board and buff it, only to get hit with Consecration, Blizzard, or Lightning Storm.
Lightning Storm decides most Shaman dittos. Don't let those spell damage totems stay on the board!
Having netdecked it I can tell you from personal experience it's a trash deck that consistently loses to rank 18 players.
Nice joke.
Win faster, card draw didn't really matter in arena.. its nice but really you want ti decide game in 10 turn
Rogue should never pick Sprint
Card draw in body is ultra nice tho

Midrange Paladin was my ladder deck for like 3 months before Standard. The deck got absolutely gutted. I want to try N'Zoth Paladin, but I need to craft Rag Lightlord, N'Zoth, and 2X Forbidden Healing. That's 4,000 dust right there for 1 deck. I have it, but I don't know if I want to commit that much dust to a single deck, especially when N'Zoth is the only card that could actually get played in other decks.
I remember Trump trying to convince people that statistically it wasn't a bad card, but I argued that the times it screws you over would be so FeelsBadMan that no one was going to want to play it.
Kripp knows what's up: Servant of Yogg-Saron Blows
There is just no way to make mini Yogg into a playable card with that effect. It either swings so hard for you or against you that the outcomes are too disparate. When it goes bad it will GO BAD. It has too much potential to be a game losing play, and sadly that isn't what you want in Arena or constructed. Unlike Yogg itself which comes much later and has so many effects that it ends up balancing out the bad with the good. The mage one is just too random in a bad way.
Fun and Interactive. Thanks Blizz!Tacitus_ said:
FIrebat just did 28 damage from hand with spells
To be fair he had double spell power in play
and 2 spare mana :lol
Edit: Follows up with OTK Rogue (Maly) and OTK Priest.
i got to rank 10 with midrange hunter this month, then i hit a rut.
decided to try out miracle rogue and im back at rank 18 im obviously bad, but man i suck with this deck. its really fun deck though and i want to learn it, but its a bit soul crushing winning like 1-5 with it.
feels bad.
