Great job Blizzard. You've managed to kill Reno twice with this. First you made the pretty boring Relicologist (I won't say bad because a 6 mana 10 damage board clear+body isn't bad but it's boring) and now you teased us with a hero card that's utterly unplayable. Unless Mage gets a legendary that reads "Battlecry: Your RNG is now good for the rest of this match" this card will only see play in the most randumb of decks.
I definitely like this in Quest Paladin, one of my favorite recent decks. Not sure what I'd drop for it. At first I thought Temple Berserker but I like that Crystology can tutor that.
Well if the nerfs are still live you can open packs and hope you get the nerfed cards. If you need X amount of dust, you can open packs and hopefully get it. It isn't like you can invest your coins and get a return (unless the plan is to spend coins and get an OP deck and farm for gold) so you might as well spend them unless you're totally satisfied.
The last 3 expansions (or more) have all created polarizing extremely metas. Why do people so easily forget how bad things were after just a few months pass.
I will eat my hat if the meta actually improves after the nerf. But looking at the power level for Rogue and hunter, I believe my hat is safe. The problem with Hearthstone is there are just too many no-skill cards. We are far removed from the days of Whispers and League of Explorers where match-up were based on skill and navigating good or bad luck instead of pure card power. And I don't think blizzard ever intends to return to that style.
Lmao the dust refund isn't why blizzard doesn't nerf cards. They've always been great at finding the cheapest commons and rares to nerf and gut legendary cards (Saronite Chain Gang to nerf Shudderwock/Grumble, Leech Life to nerf Kingsbane, Rockbiter to nerf epic card Doomhammer, etc). They do nerf legendaries but not as frequently. I'd rather see Blizzard banish the truly oppressive cards to the Hall of Fame so you can use them in Wild and let Standard be a bit more balanced, and get them in gold too for free. I'm glad I can still play Even/Odd decks in wild.
The truth is these brokeback meta decks are what Blizzard secretly wants because it makes the casuals drop money on packs for the dopamine rush of EZ wins. I guess Shaman was too brokeback this time.
I'm sorry my friend, but that's the way Hearthstone goes. The top played deck will almost always be the the most brainless one, whether it's hyper aggro pirates or EZ infinite value infinite swarming the board battlecry Shaman. Combine that with faster matches for faster rank and gold and its a no-brainer.

If you can't stand your opponent taking a turn, maybe turn-based games aren't for you.

Please let the emotes be good! That's all I want Blizzard.

Standard is in decline because it's boring as fuck to face the same over-tuned decks over and over. Not even Twitch chat wants to watch that.

I'd be a richer man, but I'd never know the joy of salty friend requests and all of the fun I've had with a children's digital card game.

Lmao at these "rare" nerfs.

Every time one busted deck is nerfed into the dirt, a new busted deck takes it's place.

My predictions, as usual, are the cheapest cards will be targeted. Rares and commons.
