I was mulling over this earlier and thought I'd pose this to the community. Is there anyway to prevent a battlecry from firing? I seem to recall Dirty Rat was good for this albeit randomly. My line of thinking here is that secrets have responses, and you can of course silence a card with a horrible death rattle.
I’ve always wanted this type of tech card. Battlecries are one of the most powerful mechanics and it would be fun to be able to counter them. Even making a neutral that cancelled all cries while it’s down would be cool because you could play a demon warlock with a number of the bad demons.
I was mulling over game design in all honesty. I was thinking on the nature of the "interactivity" that the HS Designers take into account. Secrets and deathrattles can be addressed but an opponent can't do anything to stop a battlecry triggering. In thinking such a thought, I'd thought about the Rat and wondered if there was anything else I'd missed.
Basically, no, because Battlecries trigger first in the order of operations in the game. So the only way is to cheat out a card using something like Dirty Rat.

Thus was my take as well. Thank-you for confirming.
The only anti Battlecry tech card that I can think of is Nerub'ar Weblord.
I came here to post this.

It would be cool if there was more tech choices for preventing battlecries. I'm thinking a secret may be a possibility. It could be a mage secret that prevented the battlecry from activating and then activated it on your side instead. Example Healbot would heal you for 8 while if you prevented Fire elemental the target would be random.

Welcome to the Pit Lord meta... and also those minions affecting themselves could be messy.
Just blocking the battlecry from happening would be nice. Is there even a single deck out there without a single battlecry these days?
Afternoon all,

I think at the moment you only have Dirty rat.
You could of course also take Kazakus into account when you played darkness first. Always funny to see but not what you are looking for.
Maybe they could create a secret which says that the next battlecry of your opponent will not trigger.
Or a minion, which has this as a passive.

Something like "Dark Ranger" card with passive effect to disable all card effects when on board (both sides) might be fun/frustrating ;)

heh, that doesn't prevent or counter battlecry cards, it only delays them :(
