Hearthpwn

It's pretty sad that this card, which can dump 21 stat point on the board with taunt on turn 4 is considered too slow.

Probably is though.  I would rather that if your life was at 20 or less that they got poison instead of the extra stat points.  You really need your wall to be able to take down the tribe you face, not just bloody them.

And why is it always a tribe with aggro?  There was a time in this game where you could play aggro without relying on tribal synergies.  Where an argent squire followed up by a knife juggler was pretty threatening.  

I think we could use some good anti-tribe cards.

 

 21 stat point? Where? it's 3 2/4s with taunt. 18 stats, as far as maths can tell.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Let's better explain. I personally believe one of the absolute worst meta there ever was the Witchwood one, with all the Baku and Genn decks that run wild everywhere. I used to instaconcede for example as soon as I saw a paladin opponent, followed by the Baku animation, for how much I hated that deck's playstile. All the other Baku/Genn decks were though equally predictable and this led to an overly extreme rock/scissor/paper meta where you didn't even need the opponent to make its initial move. You already knew, right from the animation, how it was gonna play out.

Now with Renatal I'm starting to have the same horrible sensations!

If it's a warlock it's a curse warlock.

If it's a hunter it's a quest (w/secrets) hunter

If it's a warrior it's a quest warrior

If it's druid it's prestor druid.

If it's priest it's quest priest.

If it's rogue it's burgle rogue.

And all with unbelievably tight decklists. I really thought this new card could open up new horizons but it turns out the community has already fully figured it out and sucked out any molecule of possible creativity out of it.

Good aggro decks are necessary for the game.

Oh yeah, 'cause it's clearly been such an endangered species in this last year, hasn't it?

also yesterday i was against this tavish quest hunter and i see interaction like school teacher 1/1 with battlecry arcane shot completes one step ? i ask why ? if quest say deal damage with spells and its a battlecry minion

 I kinda noticed that too and it's so infuriatingly unfair, given how the same does not apply to the shaman's quest, for example.

"Yes please, let's play a meme flames of whatever warrior deck."

"Yes please, let's have flames of whatever and both from the depths in starting hand..."

"Yes please, let's seldomly interrupt the streak of tier-1 decks in Silver5 with the occasionally broken draw meme deck..."

So much fun

I'd like to know who came up with the brilliant idea of including the golden versions of the cards in this page... Probably a computer technician. It took 2 minutes for my laptop to fully load the page...

Hi guys,

rotation is coming soon, thank God! I just took some time to put down what I think will still be the unfair feel-bad cards staying after rotation. Please share your thoughts and let me know what you think about it.

Wicked stab: way too much unconditional face reach imo. 12 face damage for 4 mana on turn 10 is pretty nonsense to me.

Mr Smite: no need to explain why, right? the stupid thing is that it would only take five more little letters in its wording to make it balanced: "Your (OTHER) pirates have charge"

Furious Howl: that one is the huge mistake made with the last mini-set. Hugely addressing the deck's main weakness in this nonsense way. and now it looks like they're pushing this "2-min deck" b******t deck even more... Jeez

Amulet of undying: xyrella AND this make any control matchup a piece of cake. Even without the lightshower elemental, priest has access to way too much deathrattle value. And Spirit Guide made this card even more insane.

Oracle of Elune: It would be fine if it weren't palyable alongside the razormane battleguard and other extremely sticky stuff as the annoy-o-bot. I guess bringing it down to 3 health would at least make it significantly weaker to early/aoe removal.

Kazakusan: as simple as that: it shouldn't be usable as another tool by spell-only or fast-chewing decks... It shoud only fit in proper dragon decks. It should read something like: "If you played 3 dragons or more (similar to the requirement of some of the most powerful nagas for the upcoming expansion)..."

WIldpaw cavern: this is a minor one... but it's just that the power level of this objective is so off the charts, compared to the others... it simply blows my mind.

Why doesn't Blizzard treat Face Hunter in standard like they treat any top tier rogue deck?

Face hunter has been around since its inception.
They just keep feeding into it with better and better cards.

Yet, rogue gets a good, fun tempo thief deck and all of a sudden it can't be allowed to exist.
Fuck face hunter and fuck the people who whined about Thief Rogue.

 Couldn't agree more on face hunter. It's as if an Hearthstone without face hunter would be unbearable for them... That says a lot about their opinion on the hearthstone's playerbase general IQ/age.

I feel Quest Hunter is gonna become toxic pretty soon. God knows we didn't need another "Burst you down from 30 to 0 health in a single turn" high tier deck for sure...

I'm so excited to witness the hunter shitstorm that's about to go live in a few hours! Can't wait for those endless sequences of 3-min games! Yippie!!!

About to craft one and I can't decide. I have a tournament with friends tomorrow. Help!

PS. Any tier 1 decks you can suggest I use would also help. 

 Let's put it this way. Whichever you choose, they probably won't be your friends anymore after. I mean, I woudn't...

The way professional players/streamers/content-creators dismissed the trogg upon reveal as "yeah, might kinda see some play..." still baffles me. Just about the same reaction they had back in stormwind with the battleground battlemaster. So naive...

They never learn. Anything related to mana-cheating, deck-thinning, countering the current best game-trends (aka: countering spells) has always proven to be broken. Their lack of foresight is simply astonishing...

Holy smokes, how got this one approved 😲

You can basically kill your 1 Health remaining Flesh Giant and pop up with a fresh one, all while thinning out the deck. Another 5 Stars for sure.

 Shouldn't work this way, judging by the wording... It summons a minion that costs 1 more, not of the same cost... Otherwise the interaction with the 5/4 with rush would be even more broken... no shenanigans with 10 drops allowed.

Quote from Shipyx >>

They just pulled this on me when they were going to lose next turn realy ?

 So... Your god-tier solitaire deck got f**ked by a meme deck... I sincerely hope you were not looking for some empathy... Things like these should happen every. single. game. Until all braindead copypasting idiots uninstall the game.

Sheep will always be sheep. Period. So sad.
