Hearthpwn

The lack of response to fixing oppressive decks in wild is a concern. 
I remember past problems being addressed immediately and cannot understand why the delay to adjust now. Cards like Barnes or the Aviana + Kun combo don’t seem nearly as bad as modern problematic Priest of Druid decks.

I’m guessing the grand wild revamp addresses all of the problematic decks in some interesting way and they’re just sitting until it’s launch.

Congrats on such an absurdly high stat. 

I don’t play battlegrounds, nor understand how it the format works but is that healthy for the play style? Is something like that equivalent to playing against the most oppressive form of TimeWarp Mage?

or is it just how the format works?

the idea that wild is impossible to balance is very untrue. There are pockets of healthy metas when the very seldom nerfs occur. The problem is just the infrequency of the nerfs.

yes there are a lot of cards and no they are not all impactful. Therefore balancing the significant outliers who warp the meta DOES help.

but I also agree, fundamental design issues need to be adjusted to make play styles more fun. 

The whole idea of the card is that it does give you 10 MORE mana crystals- it’s just happening way too early. You’re right about the durability, as it is only abused with Sphere, but I’m merely stating that if it were to have it’s cost increased significantly, it would only be fair to reduce the durability. 

If Twig and Instrument Tech both had their cost increased, it would slow the combo, forcing it to be be played on T6/7 most times.

I do agree though, having it refresh would probably be healthier for the game, would destroy the deck in it’s current form and future proof the Twig.

Looks likely that Twig of the World Tree will go to 5 or maybe even 6 mana (likely with a durability reduction) due to how easily it is tech drawn. 

Weapon Technician may even be nerfed to 3 mana with a stat increase, to reduce the play rate. It’s also caused quite a Kingsbane resurgence.

Illuminate should only work for Holy spells to slow Big Priest and the Murloc that draws and reduces the cost of the next two Murlocs played needs to be adjusted.

Shame that Celestial Alignment isn’t having any of its nerfs reverted… Even if it doesn’t alter the enemy mana, it’s pretty over costed at 8 mana- especially while Guff exists.

They are also around diamond 5 also. I have seen them.

Edit: Disregard my last.

Does this work like Mojomaster Zihi or does it mean that on T11 you will gain an 11th manacrystal?

This is going to cause problems in wild…

Dude, keeping up in Standard is waaay more expensive than playing Wild.

I enjoy times when secret mage is on top. When I play against this deck I am forced to make decisions. And they matter.

When I play against big priest or some solitare OTK deck my decisions matter much less and there are fewer of them.

Saying that, we deserve a better tech card than eater of secrets and other crap available.

Clergy being in the game for a month is a problem, but miracle druid, mill druid, pirate rogue, secret mage and neptulon priest shitting on every deck for the last two years are not. Bli$$ard logic.

Once again, delusional devs saying "the meta is in a pretty healthy place right now"

Feels like blizzard forgot wild existed when they revamped clergy, they essentially printed a 1 mana auctioneer. And then they print a card which pushes it way over the top. Really out of touch.

So you didn't see the Fizzle Mindblast OTK deck? hitting as early as turn 4? Clergy was a must for that and it was beginning to be a problem. Good riddance

You were playing a suboptimal Standard current meta deck then. Unless this was sarcasm, without an "/S".

I'm glad Crimson Clergy got instant banned, it was boring to play against 

I still wish there was a way for fans of the format to have a more direct voice in what cards we'd like to see banned or changed. "Their Vision" of the format often seems to fly in the face of those who prefer the format, unfortunately.
