"oh my god, why would I ever play no duplicate, this card sucks"
"if we get more highlander support this might see some play"
Sounds familiar?
Highlander decks need support yes. But there is one important thing you're missing here. Any good card is support for highlander. You don't need kazakus type of cards. You can go in Wild right now and build a Reno deck for every class that win games.
The Reno cards just exist to give reasons to the NPCs to build and play highlander, and force some of the decks into the meta. Reno decks were good before Kazakus. Reno decks were probably good even before Reno. But people didn't have reasons to play them that's it.
And a Highlander deck doesn't trade consistency for nothing!
The perception that going highlander automatically makes your deck a lot worse than it was is absolutely wrong and you should stop listening to Kripp from time to time. You lose consistenty yes, but you gain versatility and that win games just as much as consistency. And consistency can also LOSE you a game against good players/deck trackers, it's way easier to play around 15 cards than 30.
Now if you look at the 4 new highlander cards, and if you remember when I said any good standalone card is good for highlander. You should notice that without the no duplicate requirement Reno is worth 9 mana, Brann is worth 10 mana, Elise is worth 8 mana and Finley is worth 4 mana. In other words, they are extremely powerful cards. Just like Kazakus and old Reno.
Just let the deck builders do the magic wait a couple days and go netdeck. Stop whining that highlander needs more support it's not true. One highlander support per deck is good enough. Yes, old Reno and Kazakus seem stronger than the new cards. So what? Did you really expect powercreep on cards that are already powercreeped by design ?
I don't mean to hurt anyone, I am just a little bit irratated, sorry for my bad English.
I like it, pissing me off when people constantly whining about how Saviors (espacially Reno) are sucks, cos they not. Fuck, our community is crappy more and more.
I would like only one thing: more neutral/not that impact (maybe rare) cards supporting highlander decks. You know, small benefit for playing only one copy of it.
I would absolutely enjoy small benefit rare cards that directly support the highlander mechanic! I'm just saying we don't need it to make good deck out of the Saviors of uldum, kind of like Odd mage didn't NEED Black Cat it was just nice to have it
It's true. Black Cat is a good example of that kind of supporting card. I don't say we must have it, it would be good to have, this way highlander decks would be feels more uniqe. Maybe this one card that they not reveal yet will be at least neutral one (but still probably legendary), so every class could get some benefits as highlander archetype.
