Very fun deck!

Tickatus makes the grind to legend even more frustrating despite not being dominant. I would much rather die to an aggro druid on turn 5 than instantly lose a game after 5 minutes of back and forth with a Tickatus player. Mill lock should be a scarcely seen meme like Treachery already is. It singlehandedly lowers my and other control main player's enjoyment this expansion. 

There are a million ways to counter slow decks that don't ruin the game. Just make another Loatheb that increases the cost of lategame cards.

Tickatus ruins games against warlock. If they're not zoo, they very likely have the card and the threat of losing most of your deck ruins the fun that could be had. If I play warlock against another warlock I feel like I can't possibly win unless I have Tickatus, and then whoever play it first wins/has fun. 

Dirty Rat and Hecklebot don't really counter it because it's a freaking 8/8 in stats. Not only that, Raise Dead and Zola the Gorgon might allow them to get Tick back to the hand. Either way, the fun is gone.

Even in YouTube videos where the warlock is losing, games are less fun when the win condition you built your deck around is randomly discarded, your strategy is nullified and the Tickatus player doesn't have to strategize either.

There are many ways to make Tickatus a fun card, like discarding 5 cards but gaining +1/1 for the combined mana discarded. 

If you go to "view all decks" below the featured decks on the home page, filter for G'huun the Blood God you will find lots of cool standard decks with the card.

Compared to World of Warcraft, where you pay 60EUR every two years and 15EUR monthly for server access, Hearthstone is the pinnacle of greed.

This game has way fewer employees working on it, less demand for servers, they clearly don't hire any play testers, and the game has access to the mobile market. Where is the money going when people buy packs?

In WoW you can join whenever you want, there is no huge downside to being "behind" other players. If you want to play a new class, you invest some time to get that character up to speed. All non-competitive gameplay in WoW is free of additional cost. You can even spend time farming in game currency to buy next month's subscription fee. 

In Hearthstone, joining the game at any point leaves you 4 expansions behind in Standard. If you don't want to spend so much money, you can only play budget aggro decks. If you want to play control or combo, you have to buy a lot of packs. This is the equivalent in WoW of having to pay another 60EUR to be able to play the other classes. Want to goof off with off-meta decks? Then you have to buy even more packs to get the "bad" legendaries, unless you're lucky enough to get those bad legendaries right away...

Hearthstone's monetization is both greedy and manipulative. It's gambling for children

UPDATE: Here's the missing xp due to the quest bug, now the Tavern Pass is fixed. By the way, there is a new bundle to purchase, a gift from C'Thun himself to the community!

It's a pretty good bundle, if you want to spend an additional 20EUR hoping you can complete your darkmoon collection by the new year (assuming you already paid 120 for the pre-order). What a great day for the wealthy or financially irresponsible (me). This small indie company deserves our financial support now more than ever!

I don't think they will remove the card (they absolutely should). I just hope they nerf it to oblivion like Warsong Commander so we can start having fun with late game strategies again. We already have mill style decks in wild that scratch the itch (mill rogue, treachery lock) without discouraging control players from playing the game.

You can reroll weekly quests every day. I never have to play BGs

It's 400xp per hour, 300 in BG

 Is there any evidence of this? We have no reason to trust Blizzard right now.

Great deck. I'm building my own version with Kiri, Chosen of Elune and Cenarion Ward because I don't have Archspore Msshi'fn

Has the XP gain been fixed? Are we getting the same or more gold per hour in Ranked than the previous system?

Warlock was doing just fine in control matchups without a toxic card like Tickatus. We already had Dirty Rat and Gnomeferatu to disrupt combo. Not only is the battlecry powerful, but it has an 8/8 body that provides value and pressure with no downside. 

Yeah, If it was only 5 cards destroyed it might be fine, but when you can get 10 or 15 cards discarded with Brann Bronzebeard or Y'Shaarj, the Defiler you don't have a chance. 

I don't care at all how strong the card is. It is horrible to play against, and I personally don't find it fun to win the game with almost no effort against control decks. Destroying 10 cards from the opponents deck with no downside is not interactive at all. Having my Rattlegore stolen by a priest sucks, but at least we're still playing Hearthstone.

If you play a reno priest mirror, it is about who gets their 0 mana deal 2 first, but both players get to play the game and have some fun. A Tickatus mirror is a race to prevent the other player from playing the game. 

Gnomeferatu is a similar non-interactive card in control warlock decks. I despise this card too, but at least it required some effort and sacrificing value to pull off a 6 card removal. The downside of Tickatus is that you have to play one of your many 7+ cards that you were going to play before this expansion anyways.

I just hope people won't start hating warlock just because of this card.
