Anyone else think Defias Cannonier is a bit strong?

Looking forward to being done with work today!

To be honest I've been avoiding most of the Mercenaries previews because I'd like to just have a completely fresh experience, but it's still appreciated

Got a Highkeeper Ra on turn 5-6 on my first game

I'd be interested to see what happens with Maestra of the Masquerade in the deck

My guesses are:

Redesign:
Mindrender Illucia  "New battlecry: Borrow your opponent's hand and deck for a turn" without taking away from them

the main design goal of this card is to give a control class an ability to disrupt OTK combos which is the major weakness of priest, this redesign would make no sense becuase you would remove the key componenent of disruption, why would i want to borrow my opponent's hand? people making suggestions like this have no basic understanding of the game

the problem is, priest can play it early to help his own tempo game and prevent opponent to react, any redesign should aim this part of the card, keep combo disruption late game but prevent priest from playing offensively

What do people say the problem is with Illucia in the first place? What if they just swapped back at the end of the first player's turn? As you say, it would ruin the early game tempo as well as it's potential to close out a game if you have lethal, but it lowers the disruption overall. But tbh, I don't know why this card would need to be nerfed - I'm just guessing that it's due to disruption

Thanks for sharing, nice deck. Secret Passage does not shuffle cards into the deck, unfortunately. But it looks like you already have Anka as a backup plan in case you draw Deathwing too early

I don't get the priest quest change but I appreciate the feedback

I was mainly suggesting the possibility of enabling the questline to work with Darkbishop. The questline flavor naturally has a "holy" feel, so it wouldn't really make sense to just add a shadow tag. You could change the mulligan/start of game effect order, but that might be a clunky change. Alternatively, you could build on the flavor of the Darkbishop card and "corrupt" the questline if Darkbishop is in your deck to not only make it a shadow spell, but activate an entirely different questline that is more oriented towards the Shadow Priest playstyle (more aggressive). But I guess even then you would have to manipulate the order of start of game effects

Very interesting ideas. I love the flavor improvements. I think the warlock change is the most practical and likely to happen. Seek Guidance would have been more interesting as a shadow spell. Or even better, have Darkbishop Benedictus convert it into an alternate questline and Shadow spell with shadow Priest synergy at the start of the game (before his other effect triggers). Since people seem to want a direct counter to warlock quest, maybe the reward could be "all damage to your opponent from any source has lifesteal for your hero. Passive: Add a mind blast to your hand at the end of each turn."

Boar priest is very slow, draw dependent, predictable, and much less consistent to pull off successfully than the quest decks. Control decks aren't in a great state in Wild right now, but I don't think Boar Priest is the problem...

Enjoy your hollydays all and have a Merry Christmas

merry christmas to everyone!!

When a card is in more than half of all decks in all classes, yes, it needs a nerf. Especially when it has a Start of Game effect.

I would say banning Soul Barrage would fix 99% of Wild's problems. There's nothing really else that is gamebreaking. The next thing I would look at is maybe nerfing a bit of DK healing.

Dear blizz devs. Pls make it so that people can buy and open packs with gold during the fireside gathering. That way it's a party for everybody instead of it being limited by people who opened their wallet. Thanks

I've said it many times before, this is Mindrender Illucia all over again. When Blizz prints a REALLY good disruption card, people play it. You can look throughout history to see good tech/disruption cards. Rustrot Viper is currently being played since weapons are in the meta, it has premium stats at a low cost, and can be traded away if you don't need it. Dirty Rat has always seen play in wild since it's really good disruption for removing a minion you opponent is saving.

Meanwhile, look at crap like Tight-Lipped Witness. Less classes use secrets then weapons, There's no meta decks running secrets atm (and there won't be in MotLK), and it has goofy stats. Most of all, there have been better anti-secret cards in the past that have destroyed all enemy secrets instead of shutting them down.

The problem with theotar is that it is TOO good. Steal a good card from your opponent, give them one they can't use. If they wanted it balanced, what they should've done is use the damn counter-discover effect they added this expansion to the card. Instead of swapping cards, the person playing theotar discovers a card in their opponent's hand and they get a copy of it. Then when the opponent's turn rolls around they have to choose which card the person choose. If they choose right, they keep the original card, if not, the original gets removed from play. That would've added some counterplay to it and some mind game schnanigans. 

And without Theotar as a crutch "to keep them at bay" they'll have to address their other broken combos they've allowed to fester in the game.  Yes, it'll require nerfing Denathrius.  Yes, it'll require removing Brann from standard.  It'll require a lot of changes.  But they did this to themselves with the rampant power creep.

My prediction is druid will still rule with guff. Miracle priest and miracle rogue will surely thrive.

It's a dead by that point. What are you silencing?

i beg to differ.
