"4-of-a-kind" works well as a keyword imo.

I agree, it seems very tricky to design properly. You either want to run a better card, or it will be OP. At some slots, variety is better as well. Both Eaglehorn Bow and Animal Companion are great 3-drops, but having 2 of each is better than 4 of one, at least in Wild. The exceptions are the really OP class cards like Mana Wyrm and Tunnel Trogg, which I am sure would be 4-ofs over Babbling Book and Argent Squire.

Not calling you stupid, but playing a deck that does nothing but 'go face' doesn't require much thought. If you're like me, you like to make dumb decks to try to pull off some ridiculous combo or test a new deck archetype that requires control and anti-aggro.

70% of my games end before round 7(they concede or i am already dead) and 90+% end before round 9.The meta is faster than ever and that's because the blizzard designers  had the amazing idea of making the most aggresive minions also the must bulky ones.Before  aggresive minions had less life(more damage=easier to remove).Now more damage+hard to remove.That's why we face the new form of aggro:Super snowballish tempoish face....That with the fact that our neutral anti aggro tools are non existant....Yeah all hail our aggro overlords....

Midrange hunter is slightly slower than aggro-shaman, so I guess it is slowing down slightly.

And, this "fast" meta has been very midrangy for a long time. Does anyone remember those Leeroy Jenkins+Soulfire lethals that could hit you for 4 mana? THAT was aggro, and there were way less taunts and heals in the game...

Hi guys!

 

I have enough dust to craft Astral Communion. I already have all tier 1 and tier 2 legendary cards. I play all classes. But I was thinking, should I craft this card? because it will be out of standard soon and i might need the dust for the next expansion.

 

Thanks mates...

When you open packs, and suddenly you see in the first 4 cards at least 1wisp the chance of this pack to have 2 wisps and not having a"wisp+ ice Lance "combination is equal to the chance of this pack to have "wisp +ice Lance" combination and not having double wisps.

But if there is an ice Lance in the first 4 cards this pack have a chance to have ice Lance+ wisp combination without having 2 wisps but has no chance to have 2 wisps without a single ice Lance cause there is an ice Lance already.

I don't think you will ever agree with me for some reason so if other people will tell who's right maybe it will help

 The other guy is right. You need to stop thinking about the question as though you are opening one at a time and wondering what the others will be and instead think of all the cards already predetermined. Each card can be any card - it's unlimited. The specific predetermined combination of wisp + ice lance would be equally likely as the specific predetermined combination of wisp + wisp.

 Nah. Trust me or don't, you don't have same chance to get 6&6 (1/12) on two dices than 4&6 (1/6). Unless, in you case, you do not consider wisp + lance = lance + wisp.

 exactly! This is High School mathematics. To get a better understanding, you would need to consider all the outcomes that fulfill the requirement.

Suppose the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 are all the cards in the collection. And each pack contains 2 cards. It's like rolling a dice twice.

4= Ice lance

6= Wisp

Each number from 1 to 6 has an equal chance to appear in a card (= 1/6) . But when u combine two such probabilities and the events considered do not have equal chances.

 

Event 1= Getting 1 wisp and 1 Ice lance.

Event 2= Getting 2 wisps.

 

All outcomes are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

 

In all the outcomes, (4 in the 1st card + 6 in the 2nd card) and (6 in the 1st card + 4 in the 2nd card)  both satisfy Event 1. So probability is 1/18.

 

But only 1 event (6,6) satisfies Event 2. So the probability is 1/36.

So, Wisp+wisp will also be rarer than Ice Lance+wisp even when the environment and outcomes are enlarged.

Well, hopefully they will start cutting cabalist tomes now then

 It's not the same lol

I agreeBabbling Book is good but Cabalist's Tome gives you 3 spells for 1 deck slot

 Cabalist's Tome is the definition of anti tempo.

Put a lot of heal, taunt, and aoe, try to stabilize. The only decks which present problems are aggro or aggressive explosive midrange decks, and even then, a good aoe and reno in hand is enough to win the game.

Put in that fap-prince, and you will draw less of those super necessary taunts and AOEs. And those explosive midrange decks just happen to be the most popular atm. I have won through countless full-value renos, he does not save you from big, sticky boards.

The fap-prince sucks.

Malchezaar (check my wild meta tier list in wild discussion) is probably the strongest wild card since N'zoth.

Quote from Manatee098 >>

A lot of complaints about Yogg-Saron, Hope's End and how much it screws games, especially competitive and even ladder.

I have a small yet impactful nerf idea:

During Yogg's effect, once it dies or leaves the board, the effect ends.

Example, it plays spell after spell, but once it siphon souls itself, the effect ends from there.

This maintains the fun of Yogg Saron, while still putting a cap on things.  This also adds a risk factor to playing the card, as playing Yogg when your board is empty and the opponent is full is basically a "nothing to lose" situation.  It could be a 10 mana card that wins a game, but also a 10 mana card that does nothing because Yogg dies quick, as we know.

The only ways to counter aggro will rotate out. Unless the next expansion releases close to none aggro cards and everything else is combo / control focused standard will get worse. Much, much worse.

I'm surprised that Fjola Lightbane is on the list, sure its not great but it's still a very solid card. I suppose if people wanted to make a deck with her in, it would just be infinitely better to but Eydis Darkbane in so thats why she's not used much :P

I played a home-brew Wonder Twins Paladin deck to legend the month TGT launched - the deck gave me my highest-ever seasonal win-rate. Fjola was the MVP - Eydis was fine, but the deck was aggro-control, and Eydis was (literally) hit-or-miss in that regard. I remember some Dragon Priests used to run Fjola - but I can't remember ever playing against a deck which ran Eydis. In any event, the deck tanked after LoE launched - its win-rate fell from 72% in August to 54% in November. However, I'll always have a soft spot for "my girls".

I have seen Bolf used as anti-face tech. Lorewalker cho is probably in because of fun-decks, he is probably the least competetive from all of them.

Could you make a class-legendary list also, raniing how often they are used in their respective classes?

Also, The Curator over Dr. Boom.... weird.

How dare you mention those 2 in the same sentence? Piloted Shredder is a much better 4-drop...

The "yeti stats" people talk about is not true. 3-4+1-1 is much weaker than a 4-5 in most cases, think war-axe + ghoul, double trades etc. Hogger and Silver Hand Knight are not played for a reason...

Blizzard is a thing. Or Arcane Explosion+Spell Damage works.
