Tickatus is a 6 mana pile of stats that has no effect on the board. It's nutty against Control and Combo decks, but it's an active detriment to have it in your deck against Aggro. If there's been one thing that's been consistently true in Hearthstone's history it's that Aggro is a much more important factor in deciding what's playable than Control is. The only reason you see the card a lot right now is we're in the expansion launch window where people haven't figured out how to optimize Aggro and thus are playing a bunch of greedy jank. Once people inevitably realize that the best way to climb ladder is to swap out the weakest X cards from Soul Demon Hunter with X cards from Darkmoon Faire and mindlessly hit face in 5 minute games rather than bother with thinking and making decisions in 20 minute games the meta will turn aggressive once more and Tickatus will only see fringe play.
I agree that the card is strong but im glad it exists. I love seeing priest getting absolutely fked by this card. Damn priests with their infinite value, mass ress n shit. Please no nerf to this card.
Tickatus was print to kill every other control deck. Like, there is mathematically no chance to win as a control deck, if your opponent can burn 5 of your cards 3,4 times a game.
Corrupting 6 mana is a JOKE. The only good nerf would be to make it an 8 mana 10/10. That way, it still can beat 90% of control decks, but at least we'll get to develop a board to defend yourselves with.
Like, literally, I played dozens of games so far (control warrior) and I never one once nor will I win. So I just started concedeing when I see a Warlock. I don't need that type of headaches in my life.
If your deck is built so reactive that you’re losing to the warlock doing “nothing” for 5-6 turns, that’s your decks fault. I mean hell, someone mentioned drawing him off dark portal. That’s a turn 4 “pass” tempo-wise.
I can already see the decks people are playing getting pissed at tick. Priests and warriors LOADED with 20+ cards that are just reactive answers. Be proactive, not reactive.

You are literally asking for control decks to not run control cards.
Remember when they printed Illucia and everybody lost their shit even though she is not that good. Well, Ticktatus is 10x more annoying than Illucia and is actually viable.
I don't usually complain about "problematic" cards, because in such cases there have always been ways to counter it. Now Tickatus is something you can only counter by killing your opponent before they actually get to play him. He totally destroys the purpose of playing anything that's not Face Hunter and actually cares about cards in it's deck. In my opinion such a card simply shouldn't exist, even if they made it a 1/1 or 9 mana it would still be achievable and a card with such an effect should just be deleted from the game.
It still is a 6-mana do nothing that affects the board, which means you can also kill your opponent after they play him.
In any case I don't think Tickatus is a problematic card, not more than Mecha'thun was for example. If it destroys control decks it's because it is effectively a combo deck and this is what combo decks to, deal with it
It completely kills any sort of control decks like priest. I know I know, fuck priest right? But really, how can anybody think this is a balanced or interactive card? Blizzard forcing me to play aggro

HE's right...stupid braindead decks with only discover shit and other stuff that's outside of the main build of are already strong. Tickatus remove part of this by killing some cards strategy while you still has you lackeys, copied cards from enemy deck and other bs these braindead "value" decks are doing these days. And still ppl say they are "FUN DECKS" . Imagine you are playin a bad game like this, more than 30minutes for match losing or winning and now with this new trash system you really don't win anything, only lose time of your life doing that. I don't see a peron who plays something like this and live this way as a normal or even a good person. I guess Ted Bundy would play priest if he was alive today.

Or you just learn how to play the game. There are more than 135 cards on total in this game.
"or just learn how to play the game...." that's not very helpful, nor friendly. looks like, you don't want to discuss, just trying to make people uncomfortable.

Let me guess: You either are trolling like crazy, have been banned several times and this is your 27th account, because you can't stop or you're a complete beginner, when it comes to interact with people and by now, you've learned only a single way; and that's insulting...
The only people who like or approve of this card are the aggro players. They are well aware of just how broken this effect is, but they just like to see control decks suffer. Classic aggro player bullcrap.

I love the idea of tickatus.

Meant to respond to someone how to delete this?
Put your spoiler here.

The same dev that thought cubelock was a balanced deck...
It completely kills any sort of control decks like priest. I know I know, fuck priest right? But really, how can anybody think this is a balanced or interactive card? Blizzard forcing me to play aggro
Just another trash deck that's good against trash decks...Still get beaten by most of ODD pallys and Secret mages in wild.
HE's right...stupid braindead decks with only discover shit and other stuff that's outside of the main build of are already strong.

against Bomb Warrior you could burn your own cards
