MCT is a nonsense card. You're trying to race down a shudderwock deck, what happens, he drops MCT and more often than not he gets your most dangerous threat or a taunt. So you already at risk from AOE, to top it off a 3 Mana card can totally swing the game. I'm getting tired of the level of resilience that combo decks are starting to achieve.
MCT is fine, a deck like Shudderwock exists without an acessible tech to all classes like Dirty Rat don't.
It is a terrible Arena card and I hate it in that game mode since many years. For constructed I do actually like it and if it is played against me it's usually an already known tech card and not just some real random bs out of the blue like in arena (where it will be less common soon, as seen in the last developer insight)
2 owls, 2 spell breakers, 2 mind control tech in my deck for the next week at least. Everyone wants to stick their magnetic and pump up their mech, that's the best time to silence it or steal it. That's just life which results in a new meta.
TBH mate I feel your pain, but I don't think it will be HoF'd.
If anything will be HoF'd it will be charge minions like leeroy as they are phasing out charge now... and maybe malygos if "the goose" causes too much upset in this new combo meta that is coming in 2 hours time.
Really though I don't like the idea of the HoF too much and I think it should only be used in dire situations. If they keep putting stuff in the HoF, we will have no cards left.
I think when they HoF cards, they should replace them. Like maybe just add cards from expansions to the classic set or develop new classic cards r something... all I know is that some stuff like Rag and ice barrier kinda needed it, but others I'm not so sure about. was that mill murloc even that bad?
It’s a tech card that sometimes sees play. Not only that, it’s a highly random tech. A little imbalanced in arena but that’s an issue that can be seperately looked at. It doesn’t need to be hof’d by any means.
I know of a much greater issue... Silver Sword in Arena, which is broken AF.
If I can choose between Silver Sword and Vine Cleaver I do pick Vinecleaver. Its a way better come back mechanic with lots of value, whereas Silver Sword is pretty bad if you are behind at 8 mana. Also Spikeriged Steed ist not too bad but thats not what this thread is about.
I can't believe I've just lost an arena game because of mind control. I know they said they put the rates down but since so many years it's making me arena an rng clown fiesta. Just put it out of arena already....
On one hand, I think MCTech is fine and interesting when play is against "tempo" decks like Spiteful Druid.
Also, it appears to be much less common in Arena now that changes have been made to the Arena offering rates.
However, the frustrating part is when it allows "combo" decks like Shudderwock Shaman to gain an unfair strategy advantage, because its opponent is forced to "flood the board" to have a chance at winning. It punishes the opponent for trying to play optimally.
I also think it's funny how people say that Giggling Inventor is "fine" because it is "countered" by cards like Mossy Horror and Blood Knight. It is also countered by MCT, and MCT wouldn't see half as much play but for GI...but people don't like to think about that.
how can i play around this card when my opponent has 7 minions and i only have 3
Sorry for being a little obvious here, but if your opponent has 7 minions and you only have 3, the obvious answer for you is: Play Mind Control Tech..... o.O
Short of a handy board clear, it's the perfect answer for this situation. The card you hate so much is the card that would save you here.

I'd be ok if they remove it from arena like vicious fledgling. They are aware of its power, which creates dangerous swings.
jesus christ. use an effing period.
just move the entire classic set to wild and release some kind of coreset at the start of the year (adventure like, so everyone have all the cards)
Move Anduin Wrynn to HoF .

Send Anduin to Broadmoor secure unit, never mind the "HoF"
I've said this before, and I'll say it again... the Kid tortures animals for fun, I know the type.
I got you bro.

It should take control of minion with lowest attack.

guys.. it's Mind Control Tech, not Mind Control
Anduin has nothing to do with MCT
I think mind control tech got out of hand because the game became very much minion based. Its just too strong too often.
MCT's ascendance is a larger symptom of the meta.
