Hearthpwn

I'm pretty sure that no card in hearthstone is ever going to get buffed.

I see quests in 3 tiers right now, the broken (rogue), the strong (warrior) and the trash (everything else). Rogue is broken because it's not only the easiest to complete but also has the an incredibly strong effect. Warrior quest is strong because it takes time to complete, but the effect is strong. The rest are trash for one of 2 reasons (sometimes both), either terrible effect or way to expensive to complete, Warlock definitely falls into the latter category, since the quest effect is pretty good.

Literally card for card copy, but this one is written by what looks like a 13 year old perpetually angry boy.

You can stare at his abs and hope that one he'll be useful again.

You copy a deck from this site, change 1 card and pass this new one off as you very own brand spanking new and original deck.

Are you seriously asking this question...How are any of us supposed to know? Nothing about the next set has been revealed so it's just complete guess work. 

Just don't disenchant any cards until the set is revealed if you're that worried about it.

This is without a doubt the most imbalanced brawl yet, sure it's different for a few games, but the lack of balance stops the fun pretty quickly.

Does the warlock deck beat anything?

Conceal

Such a fun and interactive card.

1: Blizzard has stated several times in the past that they don't like combo decks to begin with, particularly things like Kun/Avianna as that is an OTK deck. 

2: Who says you can't play big minions? Is Arcane Giant bad now that MSoG is out? Is Ysera and Tirion Fordring small minions?

3: I purposefully play a 35 legend deck in wild because that's super fun when it works out.

4: Magic the Gathering has been going strong for 23 years now. They have cards that basically say "Your opponent can't do more than one thing per turn." They recently released a card that literally states "your opponent can only uptap two permanents during their untap step." Which is essentially saying "Your opponent can draw a card and use 2 mana, that's it."

5: You didn't state it, you implied it.

6: Then why are you even complaining? Dirty Rat is far more balanced than most other combo pieces in the pat, I.E. Grim Patron (Pre Warsong Nerf)

You just outlined how to beat players that run Dirty Rat. You have no excuse anymore if you know how to play against it. A 2/6 taunt for 2 mana is an Anti-Aggro tool. The only people with an issue are aggro players. That's the point. If I can die in four turns to an aggro deck, why can't I play a 2/6 taunt?

Oh, and what exactly did you outline, in regards to beating Dirty Rat? PLAY. MORE. BIG. MINIONS. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

I purposely played Dirty Rat against a Rogue and gave them an Auctioneer, because I didn't care what they had in their hand. I lost, and I didn't care. Wanna know why? Because I can't be bothered to care.

 There are much more intensive mechanics in other games, like locking down an entire board so your opponent can't play anything, destroy resources, discarding your opponent's cards. You're lucky you aren't dealing with that right now, because those are staple mechanics in other games.

Deathlord doesn't fuck up Battlecry effects for the opponent? You've seen Dr. Boom come out of a Deathlord before, right? Losing 2-10 damage is a pretty big deal, let's be real here. There's nothing wrong with having Dirty Rat in the game, especially when you consider... you ALREADY know how to beat it.

Either get with the times, or quit.

Refusing adjusting to how a game works means you refuse to learn, understand, and become better. Two choices, 'sall you got, and all you'll ever have.

Like I said to OP here, we've had Ancestor's Call and Deathlord for ages now. This is nothing new, at all, period, the end. The fact that people are taking to having an issue with a card like this, just hilarious. It can both win and lose games for people. Hell, I don't mind losing when I actually coin it out on turn 1, because I like taking a chance. It's not a "step in the wrong direction" because reward and risk go hand in hand with many games. If you don't play like you mean to win, you'll always lose.

 

MSoG is a return to the Naxx/GvG days. Dirty Rat is a return to Deathlord, Dragonfire Potion is a return to Lightbomb. This is a really great expansion. Sure, there are balance issues. But honestly, there's nothing wrong with the card.

I kind of agree that's it's a ridiculous card. Blizzard did do a good job of keeping RNG away from strong cards in the last few expansions, dirty rat however is a step in the wrong direction. I don't mind the mechanic, but too put it on such a cheap minion does bother me. 

I'll use Mayor Noggenfogger as an example, it's an RNG card, but it's costed and statted in a way that makes it bad, you can still put it in "fun" decks, but it'll never see play in top decks, dirty rat should be the same.

That being said, it does create some funny moments when idiots think coining it on turn 1 is a good idea. 

No.

Because of the huge power creep from MSoG the decks have become far too efficient at what they do, meaning there's a lot of games where you just sit back and lose without making any mistakes. Of course this always happened, but it's considerably more common now than it ever was. It also means that because both pirate and reno decks are so strong the meta is polarised, between decks that want to kill you before turn 6 and decks that have reno. Yes dragon priest is the one and only outlier, but that's only a good deck because of the most broken card in hearthstone. Druid isn't counted because it's simply terrible if you want to make reasonable progress, some 60-70% of games are against pirate decks, which druid is very unfavoured in.

And to the people who say there's 5 classes you can effectively ladder with, that is true, however I don't think any classes in hearthstone's history have been as low in numbers as hunter/paladin since MSoG launched. Which in my opinion is bad.

Honestly, if there were small changes to just 4 or 5 cards I think the meta would be in a very good position. 

Quote from d0ppler >

My question is : why is pirate/jade shaman better than pirate/jade rogue?

It's hard to get a clear answer, but I do believe that it has something to do with the 2 mana 3/4 and the 4 mana 7/7.

Most of the cards in MSoG that people thought might be good are just far too slow to play in the pirate meta. When over 50% of the decks on ladder are aiming to kill you before turn 6, if the card doesn't have an immediate effect on the board, it likely won't see play.
