Is Lord Barov actually worth it?

I am thinking about crafting him but I have a few concerns:

It doesn't clear the board right away, so the next turn you get hit with all of the enemy minions unless you combo it with Sword and Board or Animated Broomstick..

But warrior and paladin don't have a very good card draw.

So why is everyone auto including them in every warrior and paladin deck?

What am I missing here?

 The Captain 1/3, Paladin’s tokens and the fact that both Paladin and Warrior have a decent amount of card Draw. 

Quote from Shipmen >>

Why you are not able to understand that is part of Blizzard's decision in not giving card draw to shaman. Why is this so difficult to understand?

 True. But it is also true the “allowing them to ramp up for a burst of power faster than other classes” is just false. I mean, many if the cards with overload are too expensive when we add the coast and the overload. For instance, 8 mana for 4 2/2 with rush or 2 mana for +1/+1 is too much...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Risky Skipper. It has fair stats for a 1-drop and some interesting ability that you need a specific kind of deck in order to take advantage of. It is nowhere near being a broken card. I find that nerfing strong decks in general is a very stupid idea, if something should be nerfed it is specific cards that are way too broken. Take Highlander Hunter also for example, probably the best deck right now, but there is not a single card you can single out and say 'this is broken and needs to be nerfed.

 A 1 mana card that can destroy the whole board and that benefits for pirate synergies is broken. It is the same story as the cleric. They should nerf the pirate to a 2/3 2 mana cost.  As for Highlander Hunter, maybe at low levels because it is an easier deck, but Warrior and Demond Hunter are better if well-played. Also, the 6/5 dragon and Veranus are a bit broken,  but I would just change their stats to 5/5 and 6/6 respectively. #nomoreonecostmeta

Invocation were nerfed because a one mana 2/1 with rush freeze an enemy is to over the top for a one cost card. Pack in my opinion is perfect as it is now. Why does Druid need any help right now? It has been one of the top classes for a while, it is good to see others be at the top for once. Besides it is not that bad, spell druid is alright. And nourish is alright, you probably think it is slow because you think about how bad it is compared to skull of guldaan. But Nourish is a classic card and seen good amounts of play for a while know even tho it was nerfed.

 Actually, the Shaman cards were nerfed because of Spirit of the Frog, which allowed you to cycle the whole deck and the legendaries Electra Stormsurge  and Zentimo, which allowed the same spell to be played twice or three times, so there is no reason to reverse those nerfs.

Fuck blizzard. it's like they didn't even bother playtesting their game. They get insane tempo, insane boardclear, insane healing, and they still get strong control tools and finishers like Imprisoned Antaen. I've even tried playing decks to directly counter DH, and they can just burst so much on one turn by slamming down Antaen, waiting 2 turns, and then hitting you with the 10 damage from that + whatever weapon/attack they get. I thought blizzard said they didn't like decks that weren't very intractable gut I guess not :/

As for Imprisoned Antaen the situation is ever worse. It is not just a finisher. It create great Swing turns, and, unlike Reno, you cannot defend yourself by not putting minions or trading everything before its awaken, because it goes to your face. Also, if by any chance some minion survive with 2 lives, it is so easy for DH to make value trades that in practice, it easily is a board clearer.

Res Priest is dead without Cloning Gallery, that was the biggest Powerturn, and only reason to play cool big cards like Colossus of the Moon, Hakkar, the Soulflayer or Big Bad Archmage

The "Shadow Priest Dream" will never see the surface of light in Standart, and Blizzard completely exaggerated with their Priest overhaul, should have included couple classic/basic cards from Roque, Sap is broken, Shadowstep is super broken, Prep and Edwin obviously as well.

 I still have the hope Blizzard will surprise us before the 7th of April, in the last reveal of cards, that they will do changes to Rogue too, and change Sap, Eviscerate and Shadowstep (and maybe Prep) by secrets and change Edwin for some other legendary.

Rogue is like DeathStalker Rexxar Hunter was last year.  Due to the busted discover dragon and spell lackeys they can out value matchups they shouldn't be able to.  Those lackeys should not discover, but give random class spell or random dragon

 Exactly, yesterday I fought a Tempo Rogue who almost outvalued Control Warrior (and it didn't out-valued me because I had a lucky Elysiana).  They got the card with introduces 10 Warrior cards in the deck, so I got into fatigue before them. Can you believe that?

A very constructive comment, which I appreciate.

I have never stated that I haven't played rogue myself. Because I have. And I do agree it's fun (altho i never seem to have the openers they have against me :D). But that wasn't really the point of the thread. My point was that I was pretty damn unlucky that night. Facing so many rogues and losing most games because they seem to find the right discover and draw all the time against me, even when I was playing a deck that is supposed to beat them consistently.

My 2nd point was to talk about other people's opinions and experiences in facing rogue. Do other people find it equally annoying to play against? And ofcourse finding another good deck to beat them consistently and getting past the last couple of games to get to legend (I'm stuck on rank 1-2 for a couple of days now).

Ofcourse I could always get better at the game, although I'm confident that I'm pretty good at it already. Improving my game is something I care about. But even if your the best player in the world, there will always be a lot of games in hearthstone that you lose because of RNG. and it was not on my side.

All in all, this thread was pretty useful for me:
- I felt better after writing my experience, because it was a way to vent the salt out of my system. Sharing bad experiences can be very helpful to a person.
- I've read other people's opinions, some were the same as mine, some weren't.
- Some people gave me advice for a couple of decks that works very good against rogue. A couple of these decks I tried and they were mostly a success.

Hope this clarifies things for you :D 

The problem with Rogue right now is that the Legendary of cost 6 has become much more consistent,  so it can easily draw 7 cards and turn their cost 0. Yeah, the new Tempo Rogue is pretty annoying because i hardly arrive to turn 10, so cards like Alex just do not see play.

Actually, the cards remain until the new expansion; that is, the beginning of December.

I agree.  It is a necessary evil to keep the spirit of Highlander cards.

I'll help. Things that beat Watchposts:

- Spells
- Cheating mana
- Weapons
- Ignoring them

Things that lose to Watchposts:

- Playing a fair, midrange deck.

Also, things that haven't been good in standard for some time:

- Fair, midrange decks.

You are right, there is a blizzard employee assigned to every player. They watch you 24/7 to see what changes you make to your decks and decipher what you are trying to counter. Then they create a deck to counter you and make a new account to match up against you. This is an immoral practice to force pack purchases, blizzard needs to be held accountable!

Quote from Biomass >>

No, it will be worse.

 This is mind blowing. How is the dev team allowing this to happen? The meta after expansion release will literally be 2 classes with wandmaker and jandice highrolls. Big oversight by the dev team.

No, it will be worse.

Unpopular opinion. I dont like brann being nerfed. The purpose of playing highlander deck is to have some powerful highlander cards in order to even out lack of consistency in these decks. See ehat happened to DQA. Sees almost no play now .

Even if it weren't bugged, 50 is far too many.

Playing 50 battlecry cards is also a weekly quest that gives just as much xp.

Only, battlecry cards are far, far more numerous, aren't limited to those who have already opened dozens of darkmoon packs, and there are a lot of them that don't cost much mana!

This bug should be fixed, and the number should be reduced to 25 at most.

At least we can always refresh a quest a day

Quote from Asuryan >>

You need to play cards with the Corrupt keyword.  That means, *uncorrupted* cards.  Corrupted cards have the Corrupted keyword rather than Corrupt.

 If thats the issue then its even WORSE. Why make a quest to play cards in their unactive, unefficient way? That makes no sense whatsoever.

If true, that's beyond hysterically irritating...

The only other game with a battlepass i can compare it to is fallguys and there it's been much easier to achieve max level.
I'd feel especially bad for people that pay for the tavern pass, but then again idk how much easier it is for them with the exp-boosts they get. But i'd be pretty pissed if i payed money for the pass but then don't unlock all the portraits cause i couldn't get enough exp

Stop playing that face hunter
