This feels absolutely terrible to play against. Like, I know it's far from the best deck this expansion, but it's still a valid complaint when half my opponents are using it and it's just this awful. It's not fun to play against a deck with enough healing to fully restore their hp three times over.

And it just feels like terrible design to be able to force your opponent to fatigue the way it does, regardless of how strong the deck is.

I don't really see how it could be nerfed, and in fact it probably shouldn't and won't be, much like Tickatus, but god do i hate that I'm going to have to deal with this in standard for the next year and half.

Loving this deck so far... 6-0 from diamond 5 to diamond 3 at the moment. I made a few changes (since I don't have Jandice Barov or Keywarden Ivory), but it's mostly the same deck. I've beaten a token druid, face hunter, aggro secret paladin, and 2 control warlocks so far among the 6 games, so it can do well against seemingly most of the decks seeing a lot of play right now.

Apparently, you still get Wrath of Air Totem when using a hero portrait that isn't the basic Thrall.

I'm not joking. It might be one of the stupidest bugs in the history of Hearthstone.

I know there's always server hiccups when a new expansion launches, but this easily the worst it's ever been.

It's not the servers. You can't start a game if you have core cards in your deck, I think.

Edit: Just tested, seems like there are different errors, so it's both the servers and the core set causing issues.

Okay, that change for the > level 50 rewards is probably the most important one... i remember saying before that they need to spread the rewards out more, which is exactly what they did. I mean, the game is still way too expensive in every way, but this is better than nothing.

So I've been seeing a lot of posts about Tickatus recently (even made one myself on it's card page) but after having then gotten the card from level 25 in the tavern pass and played with it myself, it kind of feels like people are actually being a bit too dramatic? Or at least, we have a very vocal minority here.

It's reasonable to say that a majority of my games i haven't even been able to play tickatus - including a lot of my wins - and i still lose just as many games after playing him as i win. In this pretty aggro meta we seem to have forming, he's not anything insane.

Again, this is just my experience, but it really don't feel like the game breaking card everyone says it is.

That doesn't change the fact that it's effect really isn't a healthy one for the game, but still, it shouldn't be outright nerfed, because then it would just be bad - some kind of rework would be perfectly fine. Or just leave it like it is, which is honestly what I'm expecting Blizzard to do.

The fact that this is actually not a bad card at all is honestly really funny to me.

Still crashes the game when you get the 0 cost spells option, even though this was known to happen a little while before the expansion launched. I get that coding isn't easy, but still. How did this not come up before?

Man screw this card. Remember when devs removed coldlight oracle because it wasn't fun when players didn't get to play their deck? Yeah me neither.

Literally a quote from when they hall of famed coldlight: 'Its “downside” can destroy opponent's cards and prevent opponents from playing the deck they built'

GG Blizzard.

Why not Nerf Tickatus? Because Control Warlock already isn't a very good deck.

Why not nerf Incanter's Flow? Because Spell Mage already isn't a very good deck.

Control Warrior is better. Midrange Shaman is better. Corrupt Priest is better. Maybe see how the meta pans out before making your judgments.

If you queue with a Wild deck you'll face Wild decks.

If you queue with a Standard deck you'll face Standard decks.

If you queue with a Classic deck you'll face Classic decks.

This whole thread is insane. It requires you to draw a specific card, play a card that costs more, survive the onslaught of aggro, and then only really effective if you are playing a greedy or combo based deck. The win rates are terrible on Tick decks. The only reason to nerf. I lost to a 16/16 Edwin on turn two and you think Tickitus is the problem. LMAO

 So far in all my games in D5+ I've only experienced a Tickatus warlock deck one time. And he only played it once.

Am I lucky that I didn't see more? Or maybe people are overreacting a bit...

I feel like I've seen way more clown druids, aggro shaman and demon hunters... 

Anyway, not going to argue that burning cards off your deck is annoying, I could see the effect being tweaked in the future, but I don't see it as a big of a deal as people are claiming. This wouldn't be the first time in recent history.

*points at Glide*

Honestly, after playing the deck quite a bit, although its super fun, overall the strategy is not that strong.

Sure it may feel unfair to have 5 (or 10) cards ripped from your deck, but the only way that has any impact is if you have a combo card removed, or if the game goes into fatigue. The deck still usually loses to aggro, and even against control you often still hit fatigue at the same time on account of you drawing so much just to find Tickitus and an activator. And what commonly happens is that you end up playing with a full hand that feels clumsy. For example you can easily end up with a full hand, and are left wandering what to throw out to use your hero power, or what two cards to throw out to be able to use Free Admission.

If anything, Cascading Disaster is the strongest card Warlock got this expansion, not Tickitus.

Once all of the dust settles, it will probably stabilize as a mediocre deck.

But I hope they don't change it, because even if the deck isn't top tier, it is still fun to play.

This bullcrap needs a nerf ASAP , i don't know what braindead dev thought up this shit but being able to burn someone's entire deck away is absolute bullshit and uncounterable..... When will they learn ??? They know players don'ty like not being able to play their cards/deck and then they go and add this ON TOP of the rip off greedy shit corporation battle pass. I think this might honestly be the final straw for me... 

EDIT : after playing around with it a little , i am of the opinion that this card is actually not that game breaking at all since it's not that simple to succesfully trigger it's corruption AND not be under too much pressure so you can actually play it.This card might actually be healthy for the meta in terms of keeping annoying slow control decks like priest in check. There are much more problematic decks like shamans filling up an entire board every turn and then evolving it AND on top of that revolving your minions.

Totally agree with you man. This is just a game breaking card that should cost 8 or 9 and burn less cause its stats are strong enough for the effect. Imagine playing this corrupted version with 9 mana = Tickatus+ Brann in wild. Is it normal to burn 30% of opponents deck?.Braindead devs cause they let this happen instead of complaining like the rest of playerbase.

One of the dumbest deigned cards in the history of CtG/TcG

If you needed any proof the HS devs have no clue what they are doing. Here it is

Still not good enough. If Blizzard wants forgiveness I need $10,000 in unmarked bills and a free tavern pass. 

predicting a nerf to this....you'll see i'll show you
