@Hooghout
I have posted this same thing on the Blizzard forums in an attempt to bring it forward as well there.

And indeed Blizzard has made the game politicized, targets specific audiences, and it's overall inaction to limit the BM capabilities of players.

However, the larger fact here is that as players, we hold their paycheck in our hands.

"IF" the player base were to unite (or at least a large portion of it) then there would be a better chance of our collective voices being heard.

I also appreciate the use of my signature in your response :)

There it is again, you have an issue with something in hearthstone and decide to go to the forums and comment on it. Perhaps you are looking for feedback, perhaps you are just curious to see if you aren't alone with the issue, or perhaps it's a legitimate concern.

You make your post and then the same old troll comments come out:

     - Go to the salt threads with this!
     - Stop playing if you don't like it!

Follow this up with the typical responses of:

     - I do fine why can't you
     - Play XYZ deck if you are having issues
     - The meta/deck/class is fine - learn to play

It's rather sad the feedback from players in the community.
In an online community and game where it's the players who are the arbiters of what's fun, broken, fair, and obnoxious.

Yet here you come 'Player - I know more than you', 'Player - righteous indignation', and 'Player - I think your post is pointless'. With no regard to understanding or common decency you throw your disdain and criticism at the OP. Your computer screen or phone screen as your shield and armor protecting you from having to be a decent person and giving you false pretense and permission to spew verbal vomit.

If a player suggests a plausible change to the game, it's ignored the majority of the time, or shunned.

If a player gathers as much data as they are capable of, they are told it's not bi-partisan or biased.

If a player put's forth both sides of an issue, they are met with highly polarized or highly focused retorts on a single topic in the post.

I understand that we all have the right to state our peace, but that is the part that the majority of this community are missing out on, stating our "PEACE" - you bring so much venom, chaos, and selfishness to these threads.

It's no wonder Blizzard hardly reacts to community involvement...

Be civilized, be constructive, work together to create a better play experience. Let's show blizzard that the community has the power to affect change and bring about the game-play that is deserved.

Stop tearing each other down just because you need to feel better about yourself. This isn't a High school popularity contest...

@Colbault: Take away or nerf - Rez and Healing, what should they get in return? What is their archetype

@BlackGoatPC: and even with they are on the lower end of the classes in win rates people complain and call for nerfs. One of the reasons they do is because of 20-min games. But if the class were to get some tools to do anything BUT gimmick/survival deck the games wouldn't last that long.
But the last time blizzard tried that the community went all up in arms and called for nerfs because priest went aggro.

Moving on to Cabal Acolyte, going to 4 Health will tone down some of its defensive capabilities on turn 4 and post-Spellburst effect. Acolyte was one of the best performing cards in Priest and we want these sort of effects (mind control-esque) to be a deckbuilding choice.

::Priest was working, we nerfed it::

I can't help but laugh at the people who claim "priests deserve this" - "you did it to your self" - "priest players (you) just suck"

If that's the way you feel then, well, when you get irritated because of a certain deck, mechanic, losing streak or class - then just suck it up because:

You deserve it, you did it to yourself, and (insert class (you)) just suck.

As for the OP - I've had the same issue a couple of times in the past, my simple fix was to just log off and not touch HS for a day.
Come back to it fresh another day and start up again. I usually start to see some forward momentum then.

This is a common question for beginners.

The answer comes in 2 parts.

Part 1 - choose 1 or 2 decks to build and play.

Part 2 - there is no single deck that will always win.

The more you play a deck, the more you understand how and when to play cards. There is still some skill needed to play an aggro deck, just as much as there is some skill to play a highlander deck.

Patience, practice, and perseverance.

You can run it without Malygos, however, it reduces the power output by a lot.

Some alternatives are:
Evolved Kobold
Azerite Elemental
Spellweaver
Darkmire Moonkin

If you don't want to choose a creature you could also run Velen's Chosen - the fun with this, if you cast it while Archmage Vargoth is on the table it can be cast multiple times giving an additive stat + spell damage bonus.

Maybe instead something like...

Sorcerer's Apprentice
2 mana
3/2
The next 3 spells you play cost (1) less.

 This would work considering it limits the number of spells affected.
If it works like other effects in the game (unless my understanding is flawed) it would only stack with the next 3 spells and only those 3 spells would be reduced to 0.

I'm just impressed this topic got 3 pages of responses...

Though to repeat previous comments:
1: Quests are a primary reason to play more cards
2: If you know you lost and this tilts you, concede and avoid it
3: Take the opportunity to learn what cards are in the decks so you can prepare better next time

And my favorite: sometimes when they have lethal and decide to "flex" they make a mistake I can capitalize on and potentially win.

Simple - do the same thing to Sorcerer's Apprentice they've been doing to all the other reductions cards.

Or just change the wording to mimic Summoning Portal

     ::Your spells cost (1) less but not less than (1)::

@biomass

Aside from the somewhat snarky feel of your reply - that is actually why I ask.
I don't have all the information so I toss the question out here rather than assuming and making myself look foolish.

I am not a Razapriest player, I only play an OTK Velen deck and I'm not that competitive so the highest rank I've made is platinum 5.

So this is informative to me - thank you.

I feel like this is a necro thread...

And I pay wild exclusively, I think in the last month I've only encountered 2 Raza priest decks...

Is this deck really that problematic in ladder?

I mean according to HS replay it's just 1 of 17 tier 2 decks and is only considered better than GalaRog and Bombwar.

I am not going to even read the whole thread, which means I may be repeating someone else's thoughts.

But after seeing this:

Funnily enough, I didn't play that deck once. This topic is not just about the Kael'thas nerf. It's about nerfs in general.

 

 I want to give a different perspective.
Blizzard has recently changed the mechanics of many cards that produced 0 cost results changing them to now cost 1 instead.
I don't see this as a Nerf to Kael'Thas so much as it's bringing him in line with the new structure being implemented.
Keeping mechanics consistent.
If there are more cards that are printed that produce similar effects I can see blizzard keeping it at 1 cost cards now, rather than 0 cost.
