Luck is definitely a factor like in any card game but skill is much more important than most people think. My brother plays hearthstone pretty casually and he is around a d10-d5 lvl player. I play hs a lot more and have reached legend a dozen times by now. Whenever we play Whizbang decks against each other I have around 70% winrate or so. Also...whenever I watch him play I see him throwing so many games with misplays and sometimes he doesnt even realize it. I suspect there are a lot of these ,,perfect,, players that unknowingly misplay and then blame bad luck.
Because killing the same minions 10 times in a game as they are getting repeatedly ressed is not fun. Also the fact that it hard counters almost any non aggro/otk deck.
They have never said that. They also already made balance changes for wild numerous times like Darkglare , Aviana , Naga Sea Witch etc...So you are completely wrong and should stop spreading misinformation.
Anyone defending this card is delusional imo. 0 mana draw 2 is insane even if it has a ,,restriction,, . And the HUGE ,,restriction,, is play a few spells in your deck. Think about it...even if it draws one minion and one spell its a 2 mana Arcane Intellect which is a good card even at 3 mana. Lets not forget about the fact that if it gets reduced somehow and draws 2 spells it actually generates mana in addition to drawing cards for free. Its one of those obviously broken cards that is for sure a nerf target if mage ever becomes too good.
Personally I would agree. I dont like playing otk decks. And playing against them is not interesting either. So for me hearthstone would be a better game without otk. But I guess there are enough players that like to play these decks that Blizzard keeps supporting the archetype for years now even after their quote ,,Leeroy Jenkins created a strategy that revolved around trying to defeat your opponent in one turn without requiring any cards on the board. We like having a variety of deck types but taking 20+ damage in one turn is not very fun or interactive,, . I guess they changed their mind on that one. Oh well...still plenty of fun in hs for me even with the otk nuisance.
Do you know why Blizzard did this? Its not because they believe the ex-girlfriend or want Zalae punished.
Its because a lot of people are foolish sheep. And those people will without any proof of Zalae's actions say stuff like ,,Blizzard is condoning abuse of women! ,, and ,,I am not gonna buy stuff from Blizzard and neither should you because they support this women abuser,, . And if something on the internet is said enough times...it becomes ,,truth,, .
Blizzard has the right to do this...and they did so to save face from these sheep.
Its unfortunate if Zalae is innocent...but it's just the way it is.
Interesting thing about this tech card is even if its maybe worse into secret mage than Eater of Secrets...its a LOT better into everything else. 3 mana 3/4 is okay while a 4 mana 2/4 is awful. Also...even if it doesn't destroy the secrets you get to see which ones they are so you can play around them easier. I think this will replace eater as the popular secret tech card.
Exactly. If I remember correctly...even the 5 mana lackey wasn't always a 2 of in wild even back then. And prenerf dark pact would be really strong yes...but so will a lot of these reverted cards. Seems like they are bit stingy with warlock reverts.
I finally get to play my golden Jaraxxus again! Not limiting you to 15hp is such a huge deal and it also gives the 5 armor too. Not being a demon anymore is also cool because it doesn't get pulled by Archwitch Willow and Voidcaller / Skull of the Man'ari in wild. I just hope it's not too good and it gets nerfed.
Very interesting concept ! If you want fast games, just play noz and if opponent agrees ( plays noz themselves ) . And you cant be forced into blitz mode if you dont want it like with the old noz. I will definitely try this one out when it releases,
Pretty interesting stuff....but Whizbang the Wonderful not being in the core set is a crime. It was always fun trying out new stuff with it while it was in standard. You cant really play the standard decks that whizbang gives you in wild...unless you want to lose 90% of your games. I hope they rotate him into the core set one day.
Really lame how they nerfed a fun new card like Hysteria just because of a degenerate combo in wild. Would have been better to just nerf Wretched Tiller to only extra damage when it attacks face. Or that the extra damage is dealt to a random enemy minion. That way you disable the combo without ruining a new card and Tiller doesn't even matter since it never saw play anyway.

I was hoping for a revert on Possessed Lackey and Dark Pact to play old school cube lock again :( . Reverting Raza the Chained and The Caverns Below seemed a lot riskier in my opinion but they still did it.../shrug.
