Still don't see patch in iOS app store, anyone seen it?
It downloaded automatically when I booted up the game on my iphone after 11am. No patch.
What? I don’t have to download a 3GB+ update for a handful of cards? What sorcery is this?
First impression is that the nerfs had an impact.
Played with my Dire Frenzy Midrange Hunter against an Even Paladin and lost due to bad draw and excellent RNG on his side (Poisonous from Stegodon with no way for me to deal with it for 2 turns into a perfect Tarim) but aside from that I actually had a legitimate chance now that he couldn't just pull a board out of his ass turn 4. Still feel like Even Paladin can be a useful deck, although it probably won't be anywhere near tier 1.
Second game was against Control Warlock. Guy had pretty good answers to all my stuff, but in the end I managed to pressure him with 4/4 Stonetusk boars and Zombeasts. He didn't use Lackey-Pact combo until turn 10, but I did have a silence ready to deal with it. Either way the -4 healing on Dark Pact felt like a HUGE difference and made it so I was actually able to keep the pressure on and not just have him casually heal up beihnd taunt walls.
Still curious to see how Spiteful Druid fares now
First game in playing Recruit Hunter I lethaled a warlock who would’ve had 2 life left before the Dark Pact nerf. A Guldan reply would have turned it ariund for him. Felt great.
Gah I wanna go back. As expected the game is filled with control priests. I've just played 13min game and wanna blow my brains out
poor baby. i know 13 minutes is about 20 times longer than usual for you, but i promise it will be ok. you might even like it.
I remember when 13 min was a short game. Control warrior / control priest games could go for well over 30m. People these days are spoiled and just want to smash their opponents face in asap. A year ago there was 1 pirate warrior, now every deck is a "pirate warrior".
Fatigue priest and fatigue warrior. Yeah that was a horrible meta. Agro is boring, but midrange... Malylock and tempo druid that was a good stuff..
aggro is fun because games are short and the decks are more fun to play
I agree. Also, you earn gold faster.
"Six cards have received nerfs. They can be disenchanted for their full dust value for the next two weeks.

Please be aware that Crystal Core is only a quest reward so first you must complete the quest to disenchant the card
uhm wut?
bro u r going to DE the quest not the reward, trust me, this works... no quest no reward to DE which is not possible :)
u guys get that he is trolling u, right?
I can't see that quest because Maiev, Lunara and Monster Hunt quests eat up my quests slots. Please Blizzard don't take away my quest slots.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Finally we can now start complaining about other decks, such as Tempo Mage (hahaha I'm kidding it's Face Mage), Murloc Paladin, Odd Paladin and Mind Blast Priest!
