You wouldn’t play Tickatus on curve or even include it for the stats. You have him for the discards and want to activate it. The challenge is to draw it and have a card to activate the corruption.
AAAAAAAND here we go again, another thread, another Priest player crying cuz warlock became their ultimate predator.
Tickatus has a very clear purpose: to allow ppl who hate Priest, like me, to make them suffer in agony for playing the most obnoxious decks in HS. You're just getting your just desserts, the earlier you accept it, the better.
Can a mod start locking these threads? They even tried to stop the crying by making an "official Tickatus" thread, it didnt work. LOCK THESE UP, force them to go to that thread for god sake.
right, let's just play something else than competetive, as long as tickatus is in it's current state. I'm not spending time playing anything but bg's now. Since getting destroyed by Tickatus is too frustrating. You got a tactic? not anymore, and look, I also got tempo swing. Let me see your answer, oooh I removed them both, how unfortunate mwahahahahaa..... Phuuuuuuuuieeeeee... Actually let's play aggro for two years, who knows, I might learn to love it at some point, you know, that buttocks clenching rock paper scissor approach to the game. Or remove tickatus, and let us get beaten by great play, instead of just copy paste control warlock win win against anything slightly greedy.
I used to be annoyed at some druid players that relied too heavy on being lucky with draws/deck card order, you hardly play against these players anymore, the meta has shifted, and they all crafted a Tickatus. Easy game, easy life right? It is all just fine and dandy, everybody's happy...

That is a narrow thinking you know! I am playing self made quest rogue and that damn tickatus removes my 10 card every game. I am playing spell mage and tickatus removes 10 cards and make it impossible to win. it literally punishes every deck that is little bit control not even have to be full control deck but a little bit because warlock have tons of healing.
Something really good is coming for Control Warlock after rotation i can feel it, jaraxxus being a hero card now you can may play the witch to pull demons from deck/hand the new 4/10 taunt demon looks very solid both for pull from the witch or just easy way to corrupt tickatus...
I agree 100% with the OP. I main control decks, and so its been a terrible HS experience for me becuz of Tickatus.
As a solution, I put in Archivist Elysiana but that only gave me a small chance at coming back.
The main problem is the card is allowed to be playing more than once a game. Allowing discovers from 1 mana spells etc... it not ok.
Like the OP said, it completely ruins the xp for all control players.
Control used to be about resources, knowing your opponents deck, well timed plays, using your health as a resource etc... and especially counting fatigue ticks.........sure some games you could lose to sudden RNG, but you could still stick to a game plan and win.
The game of HS doesnt allow this to happen very often these days. Too many cards like Tickatus can swing the game or win it on the spot, single handidly.

why do you give a shit what people chat about here? you think theres a lack of space online? lol like the internet doesnt have anymore room for these letters? grow up and stop expectin others to do what you want. this site and forum purpose is to talk abou the game itself. to think you can only talk about a subject5 once is ridiculous for HS. The whole game is a cycle of the same shit over and over, so the topics are gonna come up more than once.
If you dont like it, dont visit or read it. Simple/

Drawing it and duplicating it multiple times is very easy
I think Tickatus is the worst-designed and most broken card in Hearthstone for sure, and could rival the worst card in any CCG.
It absolutely should be a corrupted 3/3 or 4/4. And it DEFINITELY should ALWAYS remove the player's cards, as in it will always remove 5 cards from the player who played it, but if corrupted, then it also removes opponent's cards.
I don't think I've ever hated a Heartstone card as much as Tickatus. Cards that pull a single card from your deck or hand into play are costly or have potential downsides, but this is insane.
How about leaving it as-is, but any minions it pulls are put onto your opponent's board.

It is not only about Priests, it is about every control deck in the next 2 upcoming years..., there will be NO control decks (Mage, Warrior, Paladin), because of this card, so only aggro or heavy tempo decks are the option. So yeah, nice META we will have, but we´ll see what decks will rise after new exp.
They should make the effect a Deathrattle instead of a Battlecry. Even then, it is still good with late-game synergies but a lot slower and probably much fairer.
Fck double Tickatus into cascading disaster and 2x 8/8 ! I wanted to play control Warr which is very hard outside in general and then u queue into that bullshiet lock.
The buff to Jaraxxus has cemented Warlock as the alpha and omega of control decks, I'm still effortlessly smashing priests and maintaining a 60-70% winrate as I role into high platinum. All you have to do with priest is draw the game out and it's pretty much a guaranteed win, they just can't keep up with the creature removal, deck destruction, infernos and Ysaarj.
I almost feel bad for priest, I might after another 6 months of this.

I guess true control is now a thing of the past?

One Tickatus I can live with.
But Tickatus + Cascading Disaster + Strongman, all for 0 mana? Dude fuck that

Fck double Tickatus into cascading disaster and 2x 8/8 ! I wanted to play control Warr which is very hard outside in general and then u queue into that bullshiet lock.
he is hardly OP, the 10cost that gives u free corrupted cards is a game winner though too easily almost
Only dreams now....
