There is something that triggers a primal depression in me every time an opponent drops Ticketus... it's like the biggest middle finger and I don't know what I've done to piss them off ;_;
...and when they pick up the double-battlecry passive it feels personal
and this is why i play that card in every type of control warlock list both standard and wild. its not about winning, its about people like you my friend. making people ragequit. i dont play duels but after this post i might try it in there too.
best thing to do in wild is t9 brann + tick = 50% of people just quit. its beautiful, i love that guy so much, its only golden card i play.
So heartless... I just want to play my Control Priest in peace! </3
Also I try not to ragequit, I just take as long as the timer will allow me per turn to make you EARN my salt :P
thats okay, its yours 90 second, thats not problem for me. i try not to make plays (unless they are m only way) for first minute or so and take time for thinking about oponents possible plays/counters.
im even okay with odd warrior bots roping, i just do other things on pc.

That's not salt. Don't put yourself down. What you register is pure injustice. Tic is a sign of absent ethical consideration. It's poor human development.

I know it's a bad card design- in fact i thought Blizz had tried to nip mill decks before so it seemed weird they'd release this?vMaybe I'm wrong. Either way raging only invites trolls, I just wanted to add my angst to the list lol

There's a difference between the mechanic of "milling cards" and "mill decks." Certainly the latter employs the former to achieve its ends, but the problem lies in the truly excessive amount of mill from the deck, and not the comparatively tame amount produced by cards like Tickatus.
Blizzard has done a lot to disincentivize decks like Mill Rogue that forced you to draw cards at an absurdly accelerated rate (while often refilling their own deck, so as to not fall behind in fatigue). These decks are frustrating to play against from top to bottom, with no reasonable counterplay, and that usually warrants intervention from Blizzard.
Contrast this with Tickatus, who needs much more deck support and has much less replayability. Sure, Y'shaarj brings him back for another round, and that's annoying, but you can keep playing your deck in the meantime. In other words, Tickatus is a powerful card, but he's not an automatic death sentence. There are plenty of games that can weather Tickatus's shenanigans. This is not the case for Mill Decks in general, which rely on hyper-aggro as the only possible "counterplay," and that's not even reliable.
whats weird is that ppl in standard only play control warlock cause of tickatus, like the deck is bad, it doesnt control anything, its bad against midrange and aggro. its only good vs other value decks cause it runs twisting nether for late game clears and jaraxxus to make constant threats and then tickatus to clear their decks. however the deck is bad so bad that ppl only play it cause of tickatus effect. in fact there have been many matches where my opponent is either dead or playing tickatus means he is about to die and they still play and either concede after the cards are burned or just die the following turn cause they spent 6 mana doing nothing on turn 7.

Meanwhile my decks suffer less from mill dedicated decks than from decks that only have one (four at most) cards dedicated to mill.
Seriously, you can dump-off your hand as many sorts of control deck and have a fair chance on winning vs a mill deck, done that plenty of times. And mill decks vs aggro and even midrange decks are suicide.
Meanwhile, you just get comfy as warlock because can take more than 20 control and removal cards knowing Tickatus+Y'shaarj+(if greedy)Felosophy+(if wild)Brann+(if you are abhorrently greedy)Raise Dead will inmediately trivialize every control matchup ever.
It's an absolute blunder in design, and can't even understand how somebody at the table considered it was something they could make a card.

The salt is real, I can't deny it
