because it's bullshit the existence of one card makes me play inefficently for entire game. Doesn't matter if you have it in your hand, deck, if you play it, i have to play around it from turn 2 onward every single turn, make turns which i don't wanna play against class which you should suppose to rush down in order to win. There is no other card in standard or wild which does such thing and it's because of it's low mana cost. We had mass hysteria card and people didn't freak out about it, didn't make inefficent plays for entire game. The ability to target specific minion makes it better than mass hysteria.

10 mana cost didn't make Amazing Reno unplayable. In fact it was played in every single control mage. This is 10 mana 10/10 with pyroblast into face and twisting nether on board. It's insane 10 drop. Meaning - 8 mana for nether, 10 mana for pyroblast and let's 7 mana for 10/10. It's 25 mana play which wipes the board. Btw you don't even need to make heropower control mage, just put 4 cards increasing your heropower dmg and you have it active.

In my opinion (and stats are supporting it) Priest became tier S deck and their is no chance to play anything fun against them. I lost with combo decks more than 60% of games because you know which card. Priest is actually stronger than I anticipated. In high legend it's definitly the best deck and there is NOTHING you can do to counter it (which wasn't the case with combo decks). So nice job blizzard.

Priest is now stronger than I thought it would be (and i assumed it would be the best deck)

So it's making one class combo-immune against all other classes by printed a card which is insta-win on playing. If you find it in the opening hand and I'm playing some combo you don't have to play a single card during the game, you will just win.
Priest might just play the other taunt disruptor beside Dirty Rat (4 mana one, which pulls something for the deck). Bu no, priest just run the same list with no tech focusing and hoping it will work out.

I mean the games will be "play 2 drop -> give up". I think it will be boring very soon. 

I'm a Renolock player and I don't complain to losing to Razakus Priest mostly (because they remove everything draw raza + Anduin eventually and just ping me down). It's fair to have weak match-ups. Priest will be good against everything when this card is gonna be out. 

The one problem is -> Less combo decks -> more Razakus priest -> less control decks -> More aggro or quest mage and Razakus priest only decks that remain. 

Or maybe you're staying rank 5 where it's safe to play mill rogue, Idk :-) Because I also didn't see any mill rogues on legend rank. Same decks everywhere but no mill rogue. I played like over hundred hours in last 2 weeks. I met maybe 1 or 2. (high ranks and legend).

I don't know, I played a few games against priest and they ratted my important combo piece (like Aviana or 9 mana make your spells cost 1) and it gave them so much turns they could actually draw Anduin and Raza up this point and kill me. And it was only 1 Rat in the deck! :-D sure, it's Druid (so all the minions are combo pieces) and I mostly win, but doubling the chance to do destroy combo pieces makes me think Priest will not lose to combo decks right now and as a result there is no reason to not play priest :-)

Yeah I must try to make one of it, i just played Reno version for fun. Could actually be strong with double shadowstep. But playing taunt alone with deathrattles seems not very effective these days :-) 

Btw. also priest could run deathlord, which I run in deathrattle decks in order to kill combos. It helped me few times. So we had answers and now we had a card which reads:

2 mana minion. Battlecry: if your opponent is playing combo deck, win the game.

And also: why does it cost 2 mana???? Is it balanced? Make it 5, give it decent stats and I'm fine with it. Could kill few important spells. Or at least 4. 

EXACTLY that! Priest should be weak against something. In wild priest has insane control tools and by making it win against combo decks it will be out of control. 

 "there is a pretty mediocre chance to draw it considering you literally have no card draw" We all know that "Raza on 5 Anduin on 8" is not mediocre chance and happens actually suprisingly a lot. "Second Rat" increase priest chance to win singnificantly, so high that it will actually be meaningful. 

I disagree (with control vs. combo 90%) because I'm playing mostly control and I just play 2 rats. And that makes me usually win against combo. I mean it's not my fault highlander priest runs one Rat (for obvious reasons). Now they have 2xRat PLUS. And as a person who plays mostly control decks I'm making myself and playing 2 rats I'm pretty sure having 2 rats against combo decks is just pretty easy win. Having kinda 2 rats in highlander deck with Reno Jackson... this makes this deck incredibly strong. Now it will be 90%, but for Priest :-)  

If N'Zoth Rogue will be the meta or dead man's hand warrior, I will come back here and apologise to everyone I disagreed with :-) 

It's the same discussion we had when jade idol was introduced. There is always counter.... back than it was going face with aggro. Well that didn't fix the druid problem back than when I couldn't play control decks and I actually left hearthstone for the 1st time. This also doesn't solve it. This card will too powerful. It's effect is not worth 2 mana. It should be at least 5. Increase stats if you want. 

This even steal a turn from your opponent because if you want to go off with something, you can't, becasuse next turn you will get those stupid priest cards in your hand. So it's 2 mana steal your opponent turn and steal your opponents cards. Fun and interactive. 

Btw. if you have any cool N'Zoth Rogue list you could link up I would appreciate :-)

Kill all combo decks for the sake of killing quest mage is not okey. Besides quest mage can literally kill you the same turn it does the quest, you won't be able to steal quest. Unless you're playing against idiot. Maybe giants? Well, it won't be easy as well as they will still remain their cost so it depands how many spells YOU played. Mage goes off around turn 7 right? How many priest spell will you play until that point? not much, priest don't play as much spells as mage in order to reduce it to 0. (maybe you will steal one giant). Well, you play their spells so maybe you will discount them on that turn, that's true... But no mage will be so stupid to finish quest and not play it on same turn. Just nerf the apprentice and not implement complete broken mechanic as stealing cards from your opponent's hand for entire turn. It will be VERY problematic in any future card designs. 

If we want to fix mage, fix mage and not destroy entire combo aspect of the game. I guess I will have to be running Dirty Rats as a combo decks in order to rat the 2 drop? Holy smokes, healthy it is :-) 

40 armor warrior is soooo rare I can't even describe. While my run to legend I only met a few, very few. Most were pirates. I think armor warrior is not problematic at all and doesn't kill any archetype in game, does it? Also we have a counter to armor I believe, there is a card which destroys armor. Situational? GOOD! That's how distruption cards should be! And not INSANE in every possible way. 

I know it is. I just played one week of wild after 8 months of not playing the game, get to legend 200.
The thing is you still had rat and you could actually win. One rat is not enough? Play 2 if the meta requires. Play brann. (concerning other control decks, not highlander). Rat is so super balanced. Had potential downside of playing it. Rat is perfect.

This card is literally insane and it will single-handly shape the meta, mark my word on that. I agree that priest don't have much draw but single thing to consider - if there are so many combo decks in wild and this card is definitly the best combo distruption we have in the game, than razakus priest must be more popular (logical). With one rat and this guy they will nail combo decks. And let's say I'd like to play combo deck in wild after this card release - let's assume people will play priest more just because this card exist. I'm not into playing a gamemode when my entire plan is pray for priest to not draw this one card (and there will be a LOT OF priests I imagine. So it's better for me to not play combo deck) I have been rated a lot by priest, I had some close games against them as they destroyed my combo pieces with Dirty Rats and just tempo me out, slowly reducing my life total because I needed to draw. Sure I usually win but that's the point of combo decks, right? Should be the best against control decks? Now Razakus priest is just unmatched in either controling the board and having combo elements and combo destruction element. Their is no point to play other control decks when the best class in distrupting opponents combo (priest) has OTK element in the deck which my control deck can't respond to. Because ratting the Raza is almost impossible. 

I'm pretty sure Togwaggle for 2 mana is not healthy for the game. And this card alone will change the meta into complete one-dimentional priest fiesta. And I played control decks actually, fun control decks which I made and had fun with them because I had Reno, I had Rat, I could beat everyone with good deck construction but I had to play really good to win (luck involved as you know) And my winrate was below top-tier decks, still it was super fun. Now I just can't match against Priest. Because priest will be dominant and the only answer to it will be going face. I can't even play fun combo decks because of this card (altough some priest players might not be aware I'm combo deck, but they will probably know by not going face). You can no longer play any mechatun deck in wild, no longer Paladin DK OTK, really nothing OTK based because if this deck is going to look promising, people will play priest and they will be great at it.

I will definitly come back to this post and see after a week or 2 how the meta will shape in wild cause I'm pretty sure all the combo warlock will be gone, combo druid will be gone (some will remain), there will be aggro as always and Raza. No thank you :)

And one last thing - control decks won't come up if Razakus priest will be the most dominant slow deck. Because Razakus Priest will kill control decks with Raza + Anduin. Controls decks are posssible to play if you play rats in them. That's perfect balanced situation. If you destroy combo decks, Razakus priest will grow in popularity -> control decks will be out of meta because priest is great with control the board and have elementals of combo which can't be really disrupted. They play Raza as soon as drawned and that's it, you know who these games go. They play Raza as soon as they have it in hand, so the only time possible to actually Rat is by turn 5.

The reasons why control deck is even possible to play is because Razakus priest is countered by combo decks. You take combo decks, Razakus priest is top tier, control decks are out. Simple. So that leaves aggro, Razakus and this stupid Quest Mage (because they will just wait with completing the quest until they have lethal in hand with giants). Oh yeah, it's gonna be fun in a month, you'll see... 

Cards which can't be played around and simply destroys entire type of decks shouldn't be printed. This is jade idol v. 2.0. Jade idol ended control-fatigue games for a very long time. This card destroys combo. If you want to play destruction combo cards they have to be balanced, like Dirty Rat or 2/3 for warlock burn a card. This is too much, it's not fair that priest can now play his Raza on 5 (because their is little chance I will rat exactly it and also I will draw Rat before his turn 5), Anduin and get 0 mana bullshit heropower and priest now can just everything. He can win every game against combo deck when this card is played. This is next level counter, this is 100% win the game kind of card. This shouldn't be printed. Someone said "this card will allow new control deck to come up". Yeah, sure. It will literally delete any type of combo deck in the game because everyone is going to be playing Raza Priest because you can win every match-up with it. Good against every single archetype. 
I don't even play combo decks that much, only few games on legend, but holy smokes, this card is going to shift wild meta into complete disaster. Every deck will be ultra aggressive or Razakus Priest.  

And people will probably says "it's double downside because your opponent can kill your combo too" Yeah right. Priest will always play Raza as soon as possible (so it won't be in hand), you have to just play this card when you don't have Anduin in hand. That's the only other combo card this deck really need. It doesn't really need the guy with inspire deal 4 dmg if he kills the combo of his opponent. 

As I'm seen in the comments people like ruin fun for others. I don't get it. This will kill 1/3 of decks possible in the game! We'll be combing back to the most boring meta ever printed. 

There is only one chance for combo Druid. Have all combo pieces in hand and only UI. Than your opponent will not have mana to play anything relevant despite maybe innervate. That's why druids will need to run weapon. But once again, if you run Jepetto and you get 1 mana combo pieces it's over. It's play one card (no skill involvated) win the game. no set-up, no nothing.

I was planning to go back to game but I changed my mind after seeing this card. It lefts no hope for me and the meta to be any diversity.
