Skulkin Geist in first 10 cards? Ofc, why not lets fck your game hard. Superb stupid card created bcs in last seasons jade druid was to strong. Now? cannot play inner fire priest because of that. Loosing to one card is what is bullshit in hearthstone and that a bithc card created because someone has no imagination how to solve common problem:) so stupid approach. who the fcuk are you people in activision (not blizzard - blizzard died long time ago)?

They should have a counter ~ but it should be a well designed card. Golakka Crawler and Skulking Geist are poor and lazy design from the perspective that there are no limitations as to what they destroy. Traditionally, hate cards are quite toxic.

For example Golakka Crawler kills any pirate. As such it can remove minions like Captain Greenskin and Naga Corsair. That is too strong. It would be far more balanced if the card read 'remove a pirate with 3 or less attack'. You could even bump it up to 4 attack to get around buffed Southsea Captains and it would still be more balanced.

Similarly geist should not destroy all 1 cost spells. It should give you the opportunity to destroy one of your choice through discovery. 

Just my two cents but I feel they did a very liner job.

The new corridor creeper is fine. The point was to make it something that doesn't go into decks from every single class as a "I hope I don't get boardcleared" tech.

As it is now, there's room for a beast synergy setup that'll make creeper effective in the right decks in the future. Making it a giant that gets cheaper simply by having the game happen just opens up more opportunity for outrageous swing turns. We really do not need stickier minions. The ability to summon 2 8/8's for 0 mana after a flamestrike will not make the game better or more interesting.

like for real, why does this card exist? I understand jades needed a nerf in late 2017 but why tf did they print this card instead of just nerf idol? Geist completely destroys combo priest and in the future decks that focus on certain 1 cost cards will get completely destroyed by the card (literally a Auto lose). I think there shouldn’t be any cards that make a game a 100% lose depending on the matchup but sadly nerfing jade idol was too difficult for our beloved balancing team (instead they nerfed fucking hex).

I think as soon as you open 1 pack of WoG you get C'Thun (gifted outside the pack, so 5 cards + C'thun) iirc, so I'd get at least 10 of those.

I wouldn't dust or craft anything at this stage of the game. If Blizzard's schedule hasn't changed we're days from the new expansion announcement and things can change very quick. Hold off for now.

I would put your 1x Spellbreaker in to save you against an early large taunt, which is very common in the current meta. You also have a Corridor Creeper you could dust for 400 dust to craft a Murloc Warleader , which you should really have 2x of.

To fit those 2 cards remove 1x Rallying Blade and 1x Blessing of Kings .

To be fair, cubelock took a while to discover and hasn't really been stirring things up all that long compared Raza or Patches. They probably couldn't develop a response that was acceptable to the cubelock's rise in popularity.

FYI, it's not as simple as getting rid of doomguard, as some cubelocks are running mountain giants now.

I'm over the moon right now. My Spiteful Priest is 14-3 against warlock. People are complaining but teching against warlock is so much easier. Spellbreakers, oozes, and if you really want to be an asshole, a Geist lol. If you maintain tempo with huge threats via the Summoners, the loss of tempo a Geist incurs is irrelevant. 

The number of nerf posts only gives players an idea of the number of unskilled players.

Can we please start banning the users who creates these topics?

You should stop playing this game...or at least stop sharing your "wisdom" about how it works since it is utter bullshit.

There's nothing to fix, you just got unlucky. 3 times in 4 days is not nearly a large enough sample size to make any significant inference anyway. But feel free to visit the salt thread to vent, that might help :)

Greetings fellow deckbuilder. First of all congrats o TOP8 in CC. Here are some tips:

1. Meta is pretty fast like always was, even faster when there are major changes. Missing 1-drops is really a big deal, I would suggest you to try Secretkeeper maybe with combination with Cloaked Huntress to coin it on turn 2 for insane tempo.

2. Playing only 2 copies of Savannah Highmane to synergize with your Kathrena Winterwisp is super bold. Based on numbers you end up with 8-mana 6/6 do nothing 33% of the time which is not cool. I recommend you to push in some big beasts like King Krush and Violet Wurm as well.

3. Playing 2 copies of Corpse Widow for 5 DR cards is just not worth it. One would be more than enough.

4. Double Flare is fine for tournaments when you target certain decks, but for ladder it is like 75% 2-mana draw card without body. One would be enough as well.

5. To tech in against weapons you play either Acidic Swamp Ooze to have it cheap, or Harrison Jones to have it with value. NOT BOTH.

6. Second copy of Eaglehorn Bow would be great. It is just a great card in general.

7. This is the most important. Do not overpromote your stream. If people ask something don't be douche and answer them. "Come watch my stream to find your answers" is really a bad thing to say. If you keep making good decks, people will come to your stream even if you don't spam it every single day in comments. Having some small info in deck description with info about your regular stream schedule is fine, anything over that is just annoying.

It could be far worse than you realize.  This exploit is a variant of the wanna-cry trojan horse virus and is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other, more well-known viruses such as Stoned, Airwolf, and Michaelangelo pale in comparison to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped mentality.  Once a computer is infected, one of several things can happen. If the computer contains a hard drive, that will most likely be destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in an nth-complexity infinite binary loop - which can severely damage the processor if left running that way too long. Unfortunately, most novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is far too late.  Good luck man.

Seriously, floating card and never-ending rope mean your connection is just bad.

I love geist and Dirty rat, eventhough I sometimes loose when my opponent plays them. 

Just stop that fucking whining about your combo does not work 100% of the time..

You spelled Voidcaller wrong.

I can count, thx, but  "there a 4 card (5 including DK) combo which does 24 dmg."   

Your combo - 16 dmg, 10 mana, good.

Malygos + prep + Sinister strike + Shadow reflection of Sinister strike + Sinister strike = 24 dmg, but 11 mana

I've never quite understood the community complaint regarding stagnation in the meta-game - it's to be expected that the competitive play mode will attrit weak decks, and reward strong ones. Ever since BB became the HS overlord, there have been regular balance changes two months after the release of new content - in other words, every two months, give or take, the meta-game shifts, either in response to new content, or to the shake-up in the meta-game produced by nerfing that new content. That's exactly what many members of the community have desired for years, but it doesn't seem to have made any impact - "what can I aimlessly complain about . . ." is a moving target.

FWIW - HSReplays tracks well over one million games each day. The K&C meta-game is likely unique in HS history - the two best decks in the meta-game, by far, aren't among the ten most-played decks on ladder. For most of K&C, Aggro Paladin has had the 11th highest play-rate, while Murloc Paladin has had the 13th. Both decks are favoured to heavily favoured against the most popular decks on ladder - but there was never any ladder adjustment in light of their performance, and the decks have each enjoyed a play-rate slightly above 2% as a result. Owing to the pending nerfs, Aggro Paladin is likely dead. Murloc Paladin will likely be fine, but it probably won't matter - Big Spell Mage has a higher play-rate on ladder, despite having a win-rate a full 10% worse than the Fish. If the HS community were more interested in discussing developments in the game, rather than complementing itself on how much better they understand HS than the idiots who actually make it, the depressed play-rate of Paladin would be among the hottest topics of debate on the forums. It's not . . .
