While this balance patch will probably spare Tickatus from a nerf, his time may come in a few weeks. There's so much hate for this card and even I think he should get nerfed and I main warlock! The balance team is currently watching him and are likely to step in if his playrate exceeds 10-15%. People think this will easily be the case after mage and paladin see their power, play and winrate decline. Tickatus is the reason control is dead other than warlock. We believe he will be nerfed so both players discard 5 cards from their deck. Still useful for countering combo, but won't win you fatigue.
I hope you're right. I still can't quite believe that a card that casts such a massive shadow over deck building was printed. The people who defend it are the people who just want 'instant gratification' and don't actually care about the health of the game as a whole
One single card prevents every other class from playing control. People must stop defending it.
It is my least favorite card ever in any card game. I will not play control until it's gone, so that just means not playing at all most of the time, because BG's, Duels, and aggro get old. I love fair control decks. Tickatus is the worst card ever.
I don't think the card was that concerning before Jaraxxus came into the picture. Just seems like too much value together. I would actually rather see Jaxx lose the 5 armor, so that control warlock was still prone to high burst damage. Tickatus is another option
Please dont take my Tickatus away, love to ruin peoples shitty plans..
Exactly, love how these "control players" are complaining, while the painful truth is that they get punished for running ultra greedy decks disguised under name "control". LULW
it's just weird that in the same set they released the Old Gods, they also released a card that said "lol but you cant play any of them" except, of course, y'shaarj, but only alongside tic himself
There's a really cool post on reddit "tickatus facts X tickatus feelings" or something like that, which shows perfectly that it feels horrible getting hit by tickatus, but he is not that good and effective, blizzard itself made some posts proving with their data that tickatus is not really good and the majority of people who play him still loses, it really feels weird printing a card like tickatus in the same expansion of c'thun but he is not that good, just really unfun to play against
Tickatus prevents you from playing fatigue decks, so long as your deck has more than one way of closing out games, and by closing, I mean killing the opponent, control warlock is fine. It's an anti-control deck and it's a good thing for decks like this to exist.

Control is already weak in the metagame and has been since AoO, if not earlier - why does there need to be a card that just beats control decks when so much of the last year's aggro/tempo tools already make it hard enough for control? Particularly when that card makes control warlock worse against all the non-control decks in the meta? It just doesn't make any sense.
The state of the metagame is a different story. But I agree, control has been on the weaker side and it doesn't help that they refuse to print any late-game bombs for priest (I would love to see the return of Archbishop Benedictus) and have taken away all the good armour gain for warrior, to the point where OTK decks are able to kill warriors.
At the end of the day, it's up to blizzard to make control good but for the majority of the player base, control is just too slow and uninteresting.
I think with the nerfs to mage and paladin, control priest has a good chance of being a high tier 2 deck (so long as aggro decks return)

bunch of weaklings...cry more priest suckers

Tickatus is toxic but defenders of it are more toxic.
Ticka is fine. Just another thread with priest players bursting out in tears..
it's just weird that in the same set they released the Old Gods, they also released a card that said "lol but you cant play any of them" except, of course, y'shaarj, but only alongside tic himself
People making the 'priest' argument are obviously thick as pig shit.

Tick prevents fatigue decks and fatigue decks prevent aggro. Sunrise, sunset
