Whatever that 8 cost cheap ass minion DH's play.  Way to much health for the effect.. shouldn't be able to do 16 dmg  and often still be alive for 8 cost.

Pen Flinger does make sense for sure, I highly expect this to be one of the official nerfs announced any time now.

I dont think mages are that overpowered, even when they play Lunacy on T2. Take for instance the match I just played.

Turn 4 all the mage was able to do was:

3 cost Skull of Gudan >  0 cost sprint  > 0 cost Auspicious Spirits (which spawned him the 5/2 scorpid > 0 cost Metamorphosis  > 1 mana to deal 4 damage to kill my only minion.

Not end of the world... unfortunately i was unable to kill the scorpid so i played a 3 cost taunt.

His turn 5 was not TOO impressive either:

3 cost Nourish (to ramp to 7 mana) > 1 cost Blessing of Kings to make his scorpid 9/6 > 1 cost hero power to kill my taunt > 1 cost fireball to my face > attack with scorpid  (im still at about 15 hp here)

I decided to play my nice big turn 6 taunt  so now i have a nice beefy 4/5 on the board  ( i got him down to 25hp by this time so Im feeling OK)

Hes only got like 8-9 cards in his hand at turn 6 so what can go wrong?

3 cost runic carvings to summon 4 2/2's >  1 cost Invigorating Sermon to make the trees 3/3's and the good old scorpid 10/7  >>>  ???

I'm not sure what he did with the 5 mana he had left as at this point i conceded to go eat breakfast.

I figure the chances of him having another 1 cost fireball or 2 cost apexis to finish me off were only about 80%.. so I probably could have made it to turn 7. Thats about 2 turns longer than I last against a paladin so I feel mages might need a slight buff.

I run a pretty unsuccessful one.. they took away priest draw awhile back and now after gutting all of their "steal" , rez and only great board clear.. priests are left with a few decent minions and some mediocre spells and not enough draw to make a solid C'thun deck.

As much as I hate the effect (3 cards would feel MUCH better) the worst thing about Tickatus is the cost and stats. A 6 cost 8/8 with that effect is just way too much, especially when he can be replayed twice (at least) and re-summoned by their prime. This card should cost 7 so it can not be activated by Soulciologist or Strongman, or it should be a 5/5. At the VERY least remove the demon tag so you only have to see it twice and its not getting re-summoned by primes on top of it.

On a side note  Tamsin Roame is a bit bullshit too, as if Warlocks don't have enough clears now they get free copies of  Soul Shear, School Spirits , Hysteria etc.. While it would be a fine card on its own... when they are discarding a third of your deck the board clears they have at their disposal is just unparalleled and uneven compared to all other classes. This card makes them even better at dealing with aggro which should be their big weakness for greedy tickatus decks.

I mean i only added that you cant mill someone beyond 10 doesnt feel that wordy.

 Sure you can... they have discover demon cards,  copy lowest cost demon, the card that pulls 2 minions and makes them cost 1, seems like something else. Guy played 2 of them on turn 8 vs me without even playing the 10 drop that gives them all back.

So I've been seeing a lot of posts about Tickatus recently (even made one myself on it's card page) but after having then gotten the card from level 25 in the tavern pass and played with it myself, it kind of feels like people are actually being a bit too dramatic? Or at least, we have a very vocal minority here.

It's reasonable to say that a majority of my games i haven't even been able to play tickatus - including a lot of my wins - and i still lose just as many games after playing him as i win. In this pretty aggro meta we seem to have forming, he's not anything insane.

Again, this is just my experience, but it really don't feel like the game breaking card everyone says it is.

That doesn't change the fact that it's effect really isn't a healthy one for the game, but still, it shouldn't be outright nerfed, because then it would just be bad - some kind of rework would be perfectly fine. Or just leave it like it is, which is honestly what I'm expecting Blizzard to do.

 I don't think anyone is complaining about the win rate... it's the fact a deck can just flat out SCREW any combo/control deck. Sure the aggro meta may keep it from becoming super popular but its just an awful deck to play against if your not aggro. Deck disruptions shouldn't be so powerful 5-10-15 cards removed from a 30 card deck is just batshit crazy. An unlike the old mill rogue and druid mill decks, Tik lock is still quite strong even if hes buried in the deck.

Sounds like he is a huge fan of tickatus being able to just destroy any control/combo matchup but not of losing to aggro. /shrug

I feel like its a legendary for the wrong class. Warlocks have WAY too good of card draw with the hero power, and plot twist and other discount cards its just too easy to find and play this for the cost and power.

I'm going to have to somewhat agree, this card feels REALLY bad. I've thought very few cards needed a BIG nerf but this is shaping up to be at the top of that list. The mana cost and stats are just so strong for when it can be played, and then not even to mention the Y Sharrj shenanigans. I hate the card and can not imaging a world that it doesn't see some sort of nerf.

Perhaps someone can explain to me why Flik Skyshiv does not clear dormant minions. I feel this is pretty crappy as they are "sitting" right there on the board. I could even argue that "WHEREVER they are" should remove them from a priest's "death pool" too... but I can overlook that. However when its sitting on the board about to become active and showing the exact same stats and name I feel like it should be targeted and removed by Flik's battlecy.

What say you??

I think you missed the point of his (quite rude) reply

They nerfed innervation and spreading plague.

 People seem to forget about that

 Even at 6 Spreading is obnoxiously OP and played in almost every archetype so lets not call those two changes a proper nerf.....

You are correct, Hagatha is year of Raven it will be in play longer than Rexxar. That being said Rexxar is stronger and fits more decks imo.

Yes I will do it right back to my opponents if they repeatedly do it to me. Usually if they do it during the first mulligan or first hand I will not do it back as I figure maybe they were doing something else. But anything past that, if they are obviously roping for no reason then I will do it right back. 

I have three monitors usually running so it does not bother me at all to read and article, or watch a video while letting the rope burn right to the end.
