There's not going to be any huge shake ups or changes this month, apart from the usual regular Balance Updates. The next Big Thing™ on the horizon is Blizzcon, on November 6 and 7, where the next expansion will almost certainly be announced.

Blizzcon 2023 is on November 3-4, not November 6-7

People crying about tony druid in wild when there's a quadrillion tech cards that win against it single-handedly. On the other hand you can't play around discolock or SM, so let's just leave these two intact to screw the mode.

 DiscoLock is also getting hit too. But Gadgetzan Auctioneer has been around since Beta, it has more attention to make it front loading like how Sorcerer's Apprentice was front loaded last time, and the last hammer nerf did it for good that it never saw the light again.

Of course Blizzard prefers killing old Core cards instead of balancing the new overpowered cards.

 They need to fix the root-cause cards, or else, future new cards will create the same problems we have now. This is similar to what they did to the Mage minion 3/2 stats changing its cost to 4 mana with the effect to have all Spells cost 1 less. 

Great, still no nerfs on DiscoLock for Twist and Wild.... while Twist season is ending in a week

Warlock is strong but not that OP in Standard, check its WR in Twist and Wild.
Warlock in Standards gets destroyed by OTK decks like Spells Mage and OTK Shaman. 

Tiny Worldbreaker is strong, easy to set up for Mech Rogue, high stats and direct damage effects...  why does Mech Rogue need more support?

The "open until legendary" option is an indicator if you hit the pity timer... let say if you mass open 39 packs and the "open until legendary" option is still blurred out/disabled...

Wild is in a trash state until they nerf Discolock to the ground again, the same archetype keeps ruining an entire game mode again and again.. Can they just kill this archetype like already and stop pushing it in Standard or even in Twist. Let it RIP.

Faithful could be 10 cost and it wouldn't matter. They still do not understand why Hunter went from dumpster to top tier over night. They gave hunter a way to heal, which is the class weakness. You need to nerf hound into the ground if you want hunter to be balanced.


It's the same with BG's. They won't nerf the REAL problem cards.

  Killing the Hound means nerfing Blood DK, which is already a bad deck in Tier 4..

Can they just implement that Cards cannot cost less than 1 ever?  If the idea is not good for Standard, let apply it to Wild only. 

Unless Wild ever becomes dead like the previous Classic mode, they should still cater to Wild as it still attracts a good decent amount of players almost as well as Arena and Duels  (if not more)

For those who anti Aggro decks in Wild, Reno Control Lock is pretty viable and should have 50-60% WR against Pirate Rogue, Even Shaman, Secret Mage, etc. and ofc you have to deal with Combo Decks like HP Druid and Shudderwock Shaman, but it's the fundamental Rock-Paper-Scissor in Hearthstone

Wing Welding is a perfect card for EvenLock in Wild, it is their ultimate AoE board clear next to Defile, replacing Soul Rend and all their previous 4-cost AoE

Hollow hound billion times better than star power tho but yeah crazy AoE/heals, Hunter is just broken rn and the class identity is done.

The class identity is still there. Yes, traditionally, Hunter is known to go face with Aggro minions, cheap cards, and such.. Large portion of players actually want to play the big-cost beasts and late game values instead. Hunter can only go late games by having board control from early to mid games. Historically pre-2020, it was very hard for the class to have any slower decks or any archetype different than Face Hunter... But we are in 2023, no classes stick to their own defined identity these days. 

One thing I agree that Hunter should not have access to is healing and AoE. They can have board Rush control early and mid game with all their beasts, but they should not have access to cards such as Star Power or Hollow Hounds (Rush is fine but not Lifesteal)

Quote from DemonicPlushie >>

I wish we got demons for warlock this decade that aren't always Imps.. so goddamn boring.

I dont recall Warlock receives good big useful (not annoying) Demons for Control decks any more since the launch of Demon Hunter. They forced Big Demon Hunter so they gave all the big Demons to them instead.

This is powercreep, it should cost 2 mana fairly. But because they need to push for Deathrattle combo package in Warlock, it costs 1 mana instead…
