Had to log in just to say this: Inner fire combo isn't good by itself, there are times where its "ok" but then it immediatly becomes bad again as people starts playing around it. What makes it good are cards from other expansions, like the 2/3 sorc apprentice that priest has right now

in general I think the entirety of classic should eventually rotate out and a few cards from other expansions should make a comeback, but since that isn't happening I see no problem with Inner fire combo staying in the game.

 What? No! Jade Druid was ultra trash before UI, despite having a high number of people playing it, the winrate was one of the worst a highly-played deck had in all times (below 45%, one of the worst decks ever played by a big majority).

Only reason Jade Druid became so strong is because UI not only made it better, it also fixed quite a few of its problems.

 And yet, back in December 2016, Jade Druid was ranked in the Top 4 of best decks for the meta and was used to achieve Rank 1 Legendary.

Not bad for an "ultra trash" deck... ^_^

Druid was never gone, Jade stayed Tier One even after the nerfs

I don't think Jade has ever been out of top tier since its inception.
Pretty compelling evidence that it has always been way too strong.

Blizzard's half-hearted attempt at a soft-nerf with Skulking Gheist was laughable at best.
And now with the addition of Malfurion and that "0-Mana 7/7 for teh lolz" , it's gone from overpowered to plain stupid.

Not playable.

It's not worth it to discuss "sometimes-might-maybe-happen" scenarios in which this card is "ok" and not just terrible, this happens very often in both here and reddit.

this complain shows up every expansion after some time into it, and it will always exist.

my advice? take a break, hearthstone is only meant to be played competitively by people actually competing, otherwise you're better off playing other game.

if you hadn't included the bolded part i'd take issue with you, but minus the exaggeration that's been basically my thought since he was revealed as well. i don't think he's bad by any means - indeed, he can potentially be insane; but that's something you can say about a lot of cards - but the DK cards are very hit and miss. only a couple are good in basically any situation while most of them have serious drawbacks or are potentially unplayable. so overrated, yep. but i think there are many cards that have been way more overrated. not a must-craft or a must-include but certainly playable in many mid-to-control decks.

Yeah sure, Ysera sucks too in that case. 

Since the release of KFT I have been having ferocious discussions with some friends of mine regarding the card I believe to be the most long-time overrated card in history of Hearthstone: The Lich King.

Basically I have been saying that the card is not as good as people think, and that eventually everyone was going to drop using it on their decks in favor of actual playable cards, but I was constantly being talked back by my friends saying that I was completely wrong and that it was seeing play.

As the HCT tournament and lists got revealed, everyone (but me) was surprised  The Lich King isn't being run in even the most controllish and greedy of the decks.

While I admit TLK is indeed a finisher, those exist in Hearthstone in abundancy, and there are just way too many cards that are better than TLK. So, while you can use it in your deck since saying it "sucks" is just me exagerating it is no where near as good as many people made it out to be or still do.

Won my first game with Demon Handlock.

Playable, but overrated as fuck

 Do you mean you rate him as playable and not meta defining or he is meta defning but he still isn't as good as people think.  Personally I think the latter.  I think he is meta defining but not some god card people think him to be.

Playable, but overrated as fuck

I saw ppl saying the new priest legend is broken/good/OP when I believe/know its ultra trash.

I haven't seen anyone saying that this trash is good tho

the necros tho

Be patient in using them though. If they have 2 5/5's on board, take that 10 damage like a man. Next turn they usually develop a full board for you to kill over and over.

 Maybe it's because i come from MtG but i love in depth strategy articles. I've found very very few Hearthstone in depth strategy articles period, so I would love more of that.
