I made that deck but unfortunately I realized that Mecha'thun counts as a minion too, so triggering its deathrattle with Necrium Blade won't work because you still have a minion on your battlefield.
As a wild player, I won't get to test the new meta with Whizbang because all the recipes are in standard.
This card will not be very fun to play once it rotates to wild and it will keep on getter worse as more rotations come.
The only way to solve it is to introduce wild recipes but it will be too hard for blizzard to do that because of the variety of decks you can make in wild
How would you feel if T5 designed a card that was intended to work better in wild than in standard? I'm not just talking about the card being better in wild due to a wider pool, but was somehow designed in its effect to fundamentally be weaker if you choose to use it in standard? Would you be thrilled that you lost a legendary slot that might have otherwise been a better card for your format?
There is a difference between having fun with a meme deck that eventually nets some wins, and trying to get an already meme deck that is weak in standard to work in wild.
I play a lot of meme decks. Hell, I was recently working on a hoarding dragon togwaggle meme rogue deck for crying out loud, but if you have to tank a lot of wins & I mean a lot of them then you're not going to want to craft this as a wild player for the memes. The more games you have to play before ever getting a win the more that the meme feels exhausting to play instead of enjoyable to play. Using basic standard deck recipes in wild will just get you slaughtered.
This card is not tailored for wild players unless you're a new player that also lacks a big standard collection too, which I think is unfortunate because I'm 100% sure if T5 started dedicating wild-only meme cards you'd see the forums & reddit in an uproar.
Well said, that was what I meant, and you worded it and explained it in a better way.
I love playing meme decks in wild as well, and that is why I complained about the deck recipes. Using a standard meme deck in wild will not only be not competitive, but will also be boring.
Except the starting point was someone claiming that the decks will not be competitive in Wild. Of corse they won’t, the decks won’t be competitive in Wild or standard. that isn’t the point of the card.
Of course I know that this card won't be competitive in wild but my point was that you can't even have fun (maybe a little) with this card in wild because you won't get to experience with wild cards.
I love the idea and I was deciding to craft a golden version when the expansion launches. However, I am a wild player and I realized that all the deck recipes are in standard. So Blizzard will either have to add some wild recipes (very unlikely because of the variety of decks you can make in wild) or this card will be nearly useless in wild.

first turn: Myra's Unstable Element --> Necrium Blade
second turn: Mecha'thun --> Counterfeit Coin/Preparation -->Conceal
third turn: clear your hand and destroy Necrium Blade

playing this on turn 7 does nothing though. It will be a huge loss of tempo. Kinda risky I'd say

That's a rip to Fire Plume Phoenix

I love the idea but please make some wild recipes else this card is dead in wild.

hagatha is a strong card in almost every type of control shaman, it is a competitive card and it has won me many games in wild
