Honestly with that in mind it's a wonder how this got past the design phase. If I saw this card being worked on you bet your ass I'd be concerned about this card and tweak it. But there are so many flaws about this card that it seems the design of this card had very little thoughts behind this other than: Let's give something to mill players and no input from anybody else.
Blizzard: "What is gameplay balancing, we have never heard of this concept?"
It's so much fun to play control decks when at least 5+5 cards of your deck get burned. It doesn't even help playing aggressively because your big threats get shit on by Cascading Disaster. Thanks for invalidating one third of the aggro-control-combo triangle.
One could almost start believing this game is designed by incompetent morons with absolutely zero clue. The previous fuck-up of this proportion was Jade Idol, which was also a single card that invalidated control decks. Blizzard sure loves to keep shitting on control decks.
you could legit write an essay on why this card is a design mistake and you probably wouldn't be able to cover half of it
the only way this ever becomes...acceptable is if it gets changed to always still remove 5 cards from your deck. This way you can still be a bitch, maybe by emptying your deck and then equalizing fatigue (as a warlock you WILL be deeper into fatigue vs other control decks), or if you know all your remaning cards are useless then you play it and it's a winning trade AND this still would disrupt combo decks as you don't need your deck to beat them, all you need is your disruption cards (these decks/cards are fun as well right? Coinflipstone is fun right?)
Also an added bonus would be that you could no longer just put this in ANY slower warlock deck, play him whenever (After getting corrupted obv) and expect it to work. Instead you would need to build your deck around this (at least a little bit) and think about when to play it instead of: "card go purple--->me go play"
Shudderwock was (and if more people played him in wild he would still be) a problem only because of a bad interaction that allows you to play infinite copies of it.
if that got taken away the card would be one of the most fun in HS history (only problem would be the loatheb shenanigans but I feel like that can be handled with some minor tweaks)
I hate this card.
Praying for the day this abomination of a card gets a proper nerf, gutted like a fish. This card gives me the chills just thinking about it, a feeling reminiscent of Coldlight Oracle and...dare I say... Shudderwock
Fuck this card and to anyone who plays Felosophy, Demonic Studies, and fucking Sathrovarr just to get more copies of Tickatus to literally bully slow decks, as if they don't get bullied enough....I hope many bad things happen to you for the rest of your timeline let's just say that.
Can't stand even 1 month of this card even existing, let alone A FUCKING YEAR of this.
I'm all for heated competition but having 15 cards eliminated from your 20 or so remaining cards on turn 7 doesn't make me think "what epic fun that was!" more like "we're not even playing the same game here... guess i'll go do something else til they figure it out."
I'll admit hitting my 'Thun with an ill pot to pop off another 30 felt pretty insane but I immediately thought of the druid boards I've seen that would have no problem absorbing that kind of damage and then there's ole Tickers prancing in to end your game before turn ten is even on the horizon. gg
Fuck this retarded card. Just destroy 1/3 of the opponents deck. So fun to play against. On top of that it's an 8/8 body for 6 mana. Should cost 9 mana so you have to play something really big to activate. You won't put too many 10-mana cards in your deck. That way it isn't a guaranteed win.
This is a very good card, because my wife has all the time complained that how much I play HS, now there is a good reason to make wife happy and stop playing HS
when animals will nerf their crap I tired play with slower control decks against this abonimation
did you decided to play a deck with C'Thun, the Shattered? here a warlock deck with Tickatus beat it!
Everyone complains about this card while i'm happy that i have it in my collection.
I really think that card is not overpowered in any way.
I wonder when this crap which costs 6 mana 8/8 stats which mills 20 cards will be deleted from this game with "devel OMEGALOL per" who "designed" it
So fun to run into Control Warlock players in casual with this bullshit. Card should be removed, why would Blizzard print an interaction like this?
"control" OTK mill I'd say
If you have any friends who play other card games who ask you " Hey is HS good? Is it worth playing? what does the future of the game look like?"
Just send them a screenshot of this card. It answers all the questions. No. Its run by people who dont have a clue. It has no future outside of appealing to kids who like pretty animations."
This is the dumbest card ever made
The only reasonable explanation for existing this card is some kind of sick design competition, to who will design a card, which would be referred to classification by "the most ultimate invalid card ever made in HS history".
Can't find it anywhere, but in a Q&A I remember there being mention that, along these words, "We make cards like Tickatus for the players that like the mill archetype, we want to appeal to all players" so yeah, they are probably gonna repeat this. If they do repeat this mistake and don't fix this card properly until The Barrens expansion I will quit HS solely due to this card alone. And it takes ALOT to get me to want to even take a break from HS for awhile.
THIS CARD IS ACTUALLY BROKEN AF ITS BS HATE IT NEEDS BIG NERF ASAP
Why is this so cheap imagine drawing 5 cards with a 8-8 body for 6 mana. Needs to be 3 cards and cost 8
