I play this game competitively and realistically, myself and every other competitive player are NOT going to be playing Wild mode. I think it's fucked up that I just spent over 3000 dust on a card that as of, I don't know, 3 hours ago that I can longer fucking use in the "new format".
Anyone think players that recently crafted any cards from GVG or recently purchased Naxxramas should receive some form of reimbursement since they're literally phasing out half of the current expansions in the game?
Quote from ponk87>> Maybe each class losses one class card and maybe they ban like 9 neutral cards as well. Paladins would lose Shielded Minibot, druids Innervate, warriors Death's Bite
If you ban out class specific cards you get 9 of the same class, which means choosing between classes would be as deep as choosing a hero power. You'd make competitive Hearthstone a very dull game.
What would make Ranked Hearthstone interesting is if Blizzard implemented a 10-card side deck and changing Ranked matches to best of 3 rounds.
If you're unfamiliar with side-decking, a side deck is a very small quantity of cards that you can swap in to your deck after the first round of a match. For example, a Warrior player is facing a Handlock player. During the second round, he could swap out his Brawl from his main deck and replace it with a Big Game Hunter from his side deck to give him an edge during his next round versus the Handlock's Giants and because Brawl isn't good vs Handlock.
Side-decking keeps overpowered decks in check because every player can have up to 10 teched cards to help combat the "tier 0" deck. It would also keep the game more entertaining rather than having what makes every class unique banned out.
No. It's only a matter of time before Blizzard changes it's effect since the card has no real place in the game. It's only used in exploitation decks to lock your opponent out of their turn completely by making them sit through a 15 second long animation.
Eventually Blizzard will address this card and when they rework it, as they do with all cards that they touch, they give you a full dust refund when disenchanting.
You should definitely wait. It'll either have a stupidly good new effect or be worth 1600 dust to you soon.
Watch streams of players playing your decks and learn what you're doing wrong. It takes little to no effort to hit at least rank 10 playing any deck if you have a sufficient understanding of what to mulligan and when/what to trade.
EDIT: Also, you mention you basically only have naxx but you're laddering with Patron Warrior???
Alex is a necessity. Justicar is provides great armor but Alex is crucial. It gets you out of a tough bind or enables lethal the following turn for you.
I'd say DE him, he'd only really be useful in an aggro deck, being a charge with such high stats, but Aggro hunter doesn't run anything above 3 Mana besides Leeroy,

Easy first time win. Whoever is having trouble saying this deck is garbage needs to reevaluate themselves.

Mill Rogue abuses the fuck out of Brann Bronzebeard. Coldlight Oracle draws 4 cards, Antique Healbot heals for 16 health, and (when it comes out) Elise Starseeker will place two maps into your deck.

It's not the deck. It's you.

I respect your opinion on Varian. He's being replaced by Baron Geddon as soon as I earn the dust.
