"This card was at (4) mana until near the end of final design. Was one of the more powerful cards in the set.Opted out of (4) because it was too generic use, powerful in almost any game situation, and too good at something Druids tend to lack "

Because mage isn't too fun to play against. I'll take meme cards in place of trying to counter burn mechanics.

Have you tried winning more games? I find the rewards get better as I win more games in one Arena run.

Admitting you made a mistake is harder than passing Calculus II when you have an ego the size of the moon. Dean and the dev team have never made a mistake in their entire lives, just ask them.

Blizzard's policy: Let's monitor the meta until next expansion comes!
Goodjob Blizz. Keep up with monitoring.

It's probably run just about as much as Azure Drake and it got removed for a similar reason I'm suggesting.

Absolutely not, doomsayer is well designed. And I doubt they were "limited" when they designed treachery, I'm sure they designed it with doomsayer in mind, with the understanding that the two would complement one another.

No.

It's one of the best and most unique control cards ever printed. I see no reason to - it's not oppressive or anything

Ugh, shut up with labeling everything cancer. This deck isn't even tier 4 atm, it is in no way cancer.

Is butt an ass word?

I ran over 30 ranked games yesterday with a double plague scientist elemental rogue build. 75% winrate to rank 5.

I straight up do not believe that Ultimate Infestation is not responsible for the win rate. Druid was the first thing I tried in Frozen Throne. I quickly stopped because it was boring. Why was it boring? Because if I drew a little ramp and Ult Infest I I'd win nearly every time.

Yeah, that's the issue I ran into running my own version. I solved it by cutting all minions but YShaarj and the statues. Now shadow essence will basically always pull a 5-5 lifesteal taunt and has a 1-3 chance of just winning the game on the spot by pulling YShaarj. It's a life saver in aggro matches.

Wow, I had no idea there was doomsayer hate out there. Too many idiots play this game

Don't underestimate the value of the being able to play them one turn earlier, too. By the time turn four rolls around, my guess is that your opponent will have a board that can favorably trade into two weak 2-3s. I think this card will only see play in decks that can buff it, but I could be wrong.

I wish it was summon a copy at the end of your turn. That way you could synergize with more than just handbuff.
