Posted Mar 7, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)I just want a control meta for once. I am afraid that aggro will benefit more from the adapt mechanism than slower decks would. Will see how it plays out but my gut tells me there will be a new type of cancer in town.

Posted Mar 7, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Apart from jade druid being a viable deck this is a fairly control meta compared to previous ones, the aggro decks start becoming more slower and play finja, and the control decks can fit in more greedy combos and cards, think of renolock plaing their 20 damage again.

Posted Mar 7, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Exept for the warrior one which will say stupid things like: 1 mana, quest if you summon patches then deal 15 damage randomly spilt among your opponents face and summon 2 7/7's with charge.

Posted Mar 6, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)I don't know. I don't like the slow daily reveals because it hurts my brain to read some of the ridiculous assessments that are made when not taking into account cards yet to be revealed. I would enjoy if they did a stream and then dumped all the rest on facebook immediately after. Then we could have a bit more time to form ideas and strategies knowing the cards in the set. Especially during a standard rotation, where we need to take into account a lot of cards leaving the format as well.

Posted Mar 6, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)2 weeks is not a long time to wait for a game. 2 months is not a long time to wait for a game. 2 years is a long time to wait for a game. Negative perspective is the key to unhappiness.

Posted Mar 6, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Might be super random, but last week someone conducted a survey in the hearthpwn forums and posted the results a couple days later, but got very little attention.

An additional category for "Super Cool Forum Threads" would be interesting.
