maroon5five posted a message on nerf Emperor Thaurissan?Posted in: Card DiscussionEveryone is complaining about GP Warrior, and I think if there is ever a nerf to GP Warrior it should be to the right card. Why are people calling for a nerf? It seems the consensus is that the OTK is too powerful and it makes the deck too much like miracle rogue in that respect. For the OTK to be strong, you need 5 cards (warsong, 2 frothing berserkers, and two whirlwinding activators), and these all have to be playable on the same turn. That's quite a few cards needed, and without some mana reductions it limits you to having a have used Death's Bite equipped, and having warsong, double frothing, and a whirlwind in hand. That's not an easy task, and if that was the only way to make this combo then it would likely be balanced. Where does the unbalanced part come from then?
Emperor Thaurissan is a card that enables a lot of combo OTK decks right now. Everything from GP Warrior to MalyLock to OTK Priest (and any other OTK deck that utilizes Malygos). Emperor allows Patron Warriors to use warsong, two frothing berserkers, and two whirlwinds or unstable ghouls all in the same turn. Emperor allows Malylock to use Malygos, two Dark Bombs, and two Soulfires all in the same turn. Emperor Allows priest to use Malygos and two mind blast in the same turn. Emperor allows druid to more easily play Force of Nature and two Savage Roar in the same turn. I can keep going, but I think you get where I'm going with this. Emperor doesn't just make the GP Warrior OTK combo significantly easier to pull off, it makes TONS of OTK combos easier to pull off.
This may not seem like a big deal now, but as the game progresses and more cards are added it will just enable even more combos. Nerfing anything else in GP Warrior will only hurt GP Warrior, but it won't solve the ongoing problem. As long as Emperor is around it will forever limit the design space for every class. We can nerf Patron Warrior directly today, and then what do we do when some other deck finds a consistent combo that Emperor enables? Do we just nerf that deck directly too?
OTKs are ok to have in the game if they are inconsistent and require a lot of setup, the problem with Emperor is he makes combos much easier to setup and execute. If GP Warrior didn't have Emperor if would take them longer to get all the cards and setup needed to OTK, and the longer it takes the more likely they will have to use the combo pieces to stay alive, and their OTK potential would be much lower as well.
I think Emperor is a problem card, and if anything is nerfed then I think he is the one deserving of it. We can either fix the problem now, or be plagued by OTK decks and limited design space forever.
I personally don't have a problem with GP Warrior, and I didn't make this thread to complain about it. I made this thread to voice my opinion on what (if any) card should be nerfed. I would hate for the wrong card to be nerfed.

The idea of progress system is not bad, but implementation is totally fucked up...

Love this game, but I do not feel hype anymore. Blizzard LIED to us and I feel disappointed.
Respect to Zeddy that was first from streamers that didn't feel fear and speak up!

You right and I am really sad when all these big names have been relegated. On the other hand, there are many new talents that have a chance to approve their quality. In the end, I remember days when even Hunterace was a new guy and nobody recognize him and who knows if there is somewhere new hunterace

I understand that bugs just exist. That is fact...BUT...if some bug has influence on such a important game, it is really danger.

So sad that Kolento is leaving GM. I hope you will find joy again and return to GM in future.
