I gotta say, nothing scars the soul like copying Lucentbarks in Standard.  Win or lose, that's so uninteractive it hurts.  Even moreso than a deck full of Weasels.

[...] It is Blizzard policy that every class in this game has its up and down.

And that's exactly why we all should complain! Blizzard is doing this on purpose, because... well, money. They don't want you to have 1-2 favourite classes and wrap your entire collection around them. Usually only 2-3 classes at the time are viable, so you either play as them, either you will have miserable game experience for incoming months (or even years), before "your" classes become playable again. This is especially frustrating for F2P players,  because all they can really do is wait and farm gold, not really having fun in the process. If zoo will be yet again the only viable Warlock deck in current meta, then I'm done with HS. It's simply not worth time and effort.

 That's a fair reason to be unsatisfied with Standard.  Classes fall in and out of meta every rotation - sometimes way more out than in - making anyone that doesn't play daily and pay some for packs either seriously whale or just play a weaker deck in the format.

Right now it doesn't seem so bad, though - there's lots of meta decks available right now.  The less meta classes just have a big counter somewhere, or lose pretty convincingly to tech cards, which isn't the worst thing in the world since many very good decks abuse weapons and that gets hard-countered by weapon removal.  

Can we all just admit that we're complaining about the equivalent of Azorius decks in MTG, not to mention Control Warrior from the game's release?  Drawing a bunch of bombs is roughly the same as getting Alexstrasza'd at 30 and facing down the threat of Garrosh + ping spell.  

The deck archetype is nothing new, and all it takes to beat the deck is enough tempo or constant threats.  It's the slowest and greediest deck possible, whether it's bomb control or dragon control.  So if any of you are salty about not getting to play an even slower and greedier deck than that, you can go play Wild where everyone can out-nutdraw everyone. 

That's a pretty good problem to have.

The deck's slow, yo.  If there' s a class that can ever win by playing slow and safe, it's Warrior.  That's how it's always been and the devs aren't about to change that.

Mad Genius plus Omega Assembly is virtually infinite value, but their glaring weakness is that they make the deck really, really slow.  The only decks Control Warrior preys on are those that have nothing but weenie threats that lose to a single AoE and those that just twiddle their thumbs until turn 10+.  Play bigger threats, and don't run zero threats.  Kill the deck before it kills you whether it has bombs or doesn't.

Perfectly Balanced

Thank goodness - now a faster meta can exist where everyone isn't stuffing 5+ forms of AoE removal in their deck!

Mo Bomba Warrior

Everyone's being pretty Silent about Priest...

I dunno why people are sleeping on this. This is a very solid removal card. It lets you potentially get rid of 2 minions for 3 mana.

Oooo-okay.

"Big ol' [x]" is a figure of speech.

Keep politics and sports separated. Pretty normal stuff. You are suspended as a soccer player as well for political gestures.

 As a sports player, you are not punished for criticizing democratically led nations like America. Only powerful dictatorships. You see athletes bitching about Trump, Boris Johnson and government policy all the time and it doesn't matter because their titanic sponsors don't care. 

They are punished when money is at stake. Money from Saudi Arabia, India, China or other socialists. 

No priest, mage, rogue or warlock. Seems accurate.

The most important fact in my eyes is that the vast majority of hated cards are from previous sets. That tells me they did a pretty great job with SoU.

This thread is full of idiotic nerf proposals lol

That's hilariously fun to read. Right after you see another absolutely idiotic proposal to nerf most of the warrior cards to the utter shit so much that warrior as a class won't be playable at all - you could understand right away what archetype this people prefer.
