I don't really see the problem. But then, I don't play aggro Paladin. Sorry you can't stop everyone.

Opened The Darkness when I was still at 27 on my pity timer, so I'll take it. Also a Gather Your Party; not overly significant, but I do want to dick around with recruit warrior some and I only had one copy prior.

When I think of the worst card in HS, i have to think of a card that is so bad that you wouldn't play it regardless of any situation. Some bad cards still have applications. There are several cards I want to say (Stablemaster, Sacred Trial, Bolvar Fordragon, Cogmaster's Wrench, Kidnapper, Cyrostasis, and more) that you can justify for being the worst card but the one card i believe that is the worst card in the game is Junkbot.

5 mana 1/5 for an effect that can only work if you have a board that you want to actively get rid of to get value out of this card. And what if you don't have a board? you just going to play a 1/5 that does nothing useful for 5 mana? No you wouldn't. Even for mech decks you wouldn't want to play this card because Mech decks are a board centric kind of deck like Murlocs, so getting rid of a board to get value off this guy is stupid for an effect that is mediocre in all honesty. 

 

 FOOL! Don't you know Junkbot was just a pre-emptive nerf of wild format Firelands Portal ?

 

Junkbot could be decent in Mech Mage, but Bomb Squad is the worst. Even more in Big Spell Mage, if you get it back through N'Zoth, the Corruptor. 

On the Firelands Portal discussion: meme or not, I think the card has gotten a little bit shitty since K&C came out. The 7-drop pool gained Lynessa Sunsorrow, Corridor Creeper, and Silver Vanguard. After the rolls I've gotten lately, I certainly won't miss it.

And who can forget Auctionmaster Beardo? Oh, Exodia Paladin, we hardly knew ye.

Not in the least. Frostlich Jaina carries Big Spell mage. Malfurion is definitely playable; Jade Druid has just fallen out of the meta. Thrall was playable until Shaman became dumpster tier. Valeera and Garrosh are both powerful cards that simply lack support at the moment, and I'd probably say the same for Uther. The only blemish is Rexxar, and like all Hunter legendaries it's a result of just not having the control tools to make it work.

Either way, I think they were wildly successful and I expect to see almost all of them get some play throughout the Year of the Raven.

Hey everybody,

My battletag is Overholt-something-something and I'm never going to grind to legend.

Whew. That's a weight off. Every season I go for rank 5. Sometimes I get there late in the month; sometimes not at all; sometimes early enough to consider pushing forward. But to this day I've never played a non-meme deck past the rank 5 floor. I've always figured I'd make the push some day, though, and the new ladder changes have had me starting to gear up for it. Every time I read the experience of a casual player who did it, though, it just sounds miserable. The thought of it gives me anxiety, which is the complete opposite of why I play games in the first place.

So I'm happy to say it's never going to happen for me, and I'm at peace with that. It hurts the collector in me (though I've actually never used a card back other than the default), but that's a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Am I alone or have others made a similar decision?

Poor Shaman. Not only is it garbage tier right now, but it's losing pretty much every card that has made it even remotely competitive in recent metas.

The combo is clearly a card that limits design space. And if you look at it from blizzards point of view it is not really the most intuitive thing to play around, especially for new players lol. They always learn to trade up or trade evenly not just sack minions into large health minions for seemingly no reason.

It's the same argument as why spreading plague had to be nerfed its weird for new players to go against what they learned was right for the sake of playing around 2 cards. 

To each their own, I suppose. I've never really minded losing to this deck. It doesn't feel nearly as unfair as Big Priest or even Spiteful. Honestly, I thought the deck felt harder to beat a few expansions ago when it was the purify version. But we all have our own perspectives on what feels the worst in this game, so I certainly understand it.

Seems pretty easy to play around. Just trade into high health minions and deny draw as much as possible. Skulking Geistmakes them autoconcede, taunt and silent effects come in useful as well.

Conceded three times for the pack. Not really interested in trying to learn a new meta or in trying to put together viable decks without any pre-MSOG cards.

That's a mistake. The very first opponent I had was literally some guy with a rank 25 deck. All standard cards

All kinds of people are playing this brawl. Even people with smaller collections than you

Big Spell Mage is going to stay largely in tact. As it's morphed into even more of control deck with some of the best variants dropping Medivh and Firelands Portal, the only significant loss look to be neutral cards like Dirty Rat and N'Zoth. Dirty Rat may not be that important unless more combo decks pop up, and you really only need N'Zoth to avoid being outvalued by other decks with N'Zoth.

I for one welcome our new control Mage overlords.

N'Zoth.

:-(

Can we switch him to evergreen? I don't want to lose value control.

Nice. I don't play any of those cards, so I'll gladly take the dust.

Time for expansion speculation! #3 could be Zul'Gurub! I'm trying to think of what's thorny for #1; it's been about a decade since I played WoW. Dire Maul?
