Purify, duh

A recent interview with blizzard has revealed the insight and direction Ben Brode and the rest of Team 5 hopes to take with Hearthstone's newest adventure: One Night in Karazhan.

Interviewer: So Ben Brode, what can you tell us about this adventure?

Ben Brode: Well, we here at Blizzard have always been firm believers that it's not the cards that matter, but the fun you can in the adventure itself. In order to show that, we've decided to make the cards so bad that the only thing the players can enjoy is defeating the bosses. This way, players can have a fun time killing bad guys instead of worrying about which class will come out on top.

I: What exactly are the bosses like?

BB: Originally, we were going to have a boss that had a control priest archetype deck, but after deciding that it was far too easy to beat, we changed it to [redacted].

I: So can you tell us any other details about this expansion?

BB: *Laughs* No, if we say any more, the entire fanbase will likely kick and scream because the adventure is "a waste of money." Like they've never wasted money on hearthstone before.

I: Okay, well, it's no secret that priest is the weakest hero in the meta right now, any comments on that?

BB: Well, I'm sure everyone remembers how shitty Shaman was last year. We released TGT in hopes that the incredibly hyped up cards would breathe new life into Shaman. Unfortunately, Shaman was just too bad. Even repeatedly chanting "I do believe in shamans" didn't work. In fact, Shaman was so bad it took a damn 4 mana 7/7 to make the class any good. A 4 mana 7/7! Boy was that a shit storm. In the end, we decided that no matter how bad a class was, we shouldn't bother fixing it since it will just fuck more things up than it fixed.

I: That may be true, but isn't there only so far in the garbage you can push a card? I'm talking about Purify of course. Couldn't that card have been a little better?

BB: Ok so here's the story. My best friend (who is not affiliated with Blizzard entertainment in any way, shape or form) bet me 100 bucks that I couldn't make a card worse than convert. Boy did I show him.

I: What did you spend the $100 on?

BB: Strippers and beer. Man you should have seen them; they were hotter than Master of Ceremonies.

I: But what does this mean for Priest in the future?

BB: You know, Priest is so bad right now, we might as well just scrap the class and release something cooler, like Demon Hunter or Death knight.

I: But what about all of the Competitive priest players?

BB: They're just getting what they deserve. Remember when priest was a top tier class? Well I do, and let me tell you, it was absolutely no fun to watch other people play against them. We're talking about 20 minute games. Who has time for that?

I: You said that you "watched other people play against them?" Don't you mean watching Team 5 play against them?

BB: *Laughs* Isn't it apparent right now? After the whole fuck up with the joust mechanic and the almost infinite list of over-nerfs, I thought everyone realized that Team 5 doesn't actually play this game. You think we would make Warsong commander that bad, or wait 6 months before nerfing undertaker if we actually played this game?

I: Well, best of luck with the Future of Hearthstone Ben. I see a very bright future ahead of you.

BB: Of course it's bright. With all the shiny cash players are throwing at us, how could it not be bright?

I think Purify was printed just to prove that it's possible to print worse cards than Majordomo executus.

Medivh's just playing with himself.

Wait....

*Free 2 Play Community Complains that Hearthstone is Pay 2 Win*

----Blizzard gives every player a solid competitive deck

*Community complains about deck being OP*

Hearthstone everyone

So Blizzard said they will nerf 10-12 card.

What are your guesses on the nerfs.

Here is my take

1. Wrath  Nerf to 2 Damage or 1 + Draw

2. Molten Giant gets a not less than 3 Mana added.

3.Force of Nature change to 9-10 mana Summon 3x 3/3

4.Ancient of Lore change to 8 mana 5/4 Body

5.Archmage Antonidas change to "Antonidas Fireballs" this card doesn't create Fireballs

6.Mountain Giant 10 Mana 6/6

7. Doomhammer durability reduced to 6

8.Doomguard now a 5/5

9.Armorsmith now a 1/3

10.Knife Juggler now 4 Mana or Juggles are 100% random now

11.Big Game Hunter now kills only Minions with 9+ Attack

12. Sylvanas Windrunner cost increased to 7

That's cool. Now tell me all about how well your games have gone with these decks as opposed to the other mainstream decks and what you would remove from these decks to play the Sandworm.

 im not saying that those are good(though some got legend withthose decks), im saying those are playable and sanworm will make some of them better. And if you like  playing secret pally mainstream decks, go ahead and let me have fun and board clear with my giant sandworm.

i see i talked a bit to much in a thread that isn't my own and so i won't responed here soon.

There is no way I hell blizzard would create a card like that and even if they did it would be a not existence card in the game. Would rather have a recombobulator and get a decent card then a possible tiny fin 

 Could this be a new card for the Shaman class?

Quote from Ledinax >>

I seriously doubt Blizzard would do this... xDDDD

Love this card, very good for mill / fatigue decks with Coldlight Oracle :-)

You are forgetting some important things here:

1) We are 2/3 in the season. This is when the tryhard aggro is slowing down: high ranks have achieved their goal, low rank don't care that much for ranking (or they would have been higher ranked, apart from the few that didn't have time to play earlier). With less aggro, priest always rises. So the fact that priest is doing fine now, goes for a big part with the time in the season.

2) People are testing new cards. This means there are a lot of sub optimized decks (including priest), that are more midrange or control. But once the new card hype settles, the game becomes more aggressive (also new season will start) and runs over priest again. 

3) Priest got their 2 strongest cards from the expansion already (unless purify turns out to be OP, like dr boom did, but probably not). So, unless some non-class cards are A LOT better in priest than other classes, priest is at the top of their powers (apart from decktweaking, but other classes will tweak as well, so I ignore that fact), where other classes will still get strong class cards.

Also, you didn't say what rank you are. I'd say (this late in the season) you can play any deck up to rank 10. Problem is, you run into people playing whatever in those ranks, and it's not meta. Priest is a class with crazy tools, you could call them OP. But when the meta kills you before you can use your OP cards (like, shaman can kill turn 5-6, while holy nova/excavated evil only come out at turn 5 for a reset), your class in general becomes bad.

Conclusion: Saying priest is not bad (based on 15 wins?) when they had their strong cards and other classes are waiting, when a lot of people are not playing meta decks, and without saying at what ranks you play, is a wrong statement.

PS: I'm not a good/dedicated player, hanging around in the low ranks to have fun, mainly playing priest. That's how I know priest always performs better in the second half of the month. Since I'm not good, I can't predict how the game will change, and priest might be on top. Just wanted to say your "priest is not bad" statement is just as early as the people saying priest will still be bad.

What a bullshit excuse. Priest doesn't need more shenanigans, they need FRICKING SOLID CARDS. They are dead last and now they get more card that makes them MORE dead last. Instead of giving them at least a glimpse of hope, they say: b... b... bbbbut there might be some people who try something out... dear blizzard, THIS IS BULLSHIT! Nobody with an intact brain cell will use Purify over Silence. Nobody will use this SHITTY card even over Ironbeak Owl, the nerfed variant. Nobody. Purify is a shitty excuse for a card and you absolutely know it. But instead of strengthening Priest with CLASS cards you simply say: Hey, there are good neutral ones.

Wonderful, the problem is: THIS NEUTRALS ARE IN EVERY OTHER CLASS FAR BETTER THAN IN PRIEST, BY ALL THAT'S HOLY!!!

Why should you use the new dragon cards when you can use it on Warrior too, that have a far better starting with Fiery War Axe? And in what deck would you use Purify: For Watcher. Wonderful, we get a 4 mana 4/5 for 2 cards instead of 1

But hey, this synergies far better with Yogg Saron... the problem is: WE ARE ALREADY DEAD BEFORE ROUND 10.

The Post of blizzard is a stinky pile of crap. They knew they messed up, but such a bullshit excuse does surely not make things better. Give us a useful Boardclear that does not give the enemy a boardclear too. It was a nice idea, but against control Excavated Evil is simply trash. And Zoo: yes, they draw it but it didn't matter. Zoo has enough card draw that they give a crap if they draw a dead card; and sometimes it's even useful for them to have a boardclear, so thank you.

But Priest of the Feast, another 4 mana minion, the slot where priest have soooo much problems, yes that will surely help us, we only have already 29054940300AE minions in this slot. And Black Bishop: Take a 3/4, Ressurect and put in in a card and give it no extra class bonus like all other classes have, and voila, a lot of fertilizer for the flower, but nothing useful.

This text is absolutely crap, and if i read again this following generic sentence when blizzard fuck up, i need to puke: "...thanks for being so passionate about it."

Its not a competition: clearly its Nightbane Templar !

I thought I'd help the dev team out a bit, since they obviously seem to need it.

These are free, but I expect to get paid for any further help I need to provide.

Next thread: which card of one night in karazhan is the best fapping to?

After playing this deck I awoke the following day in a puddle of my own vomit, my car was missing, and there was a one legged stripper dead in my bathroom. Of course I quickly checked my Hearthstone account and realized I went from rank 25 to Legend in a single night. Unfortunately, I had just smoked some Peyote before that and may have been hallucinating it all. Moral of the story is you bothered to read this comment and wasted 30 seconds of your life you will never get back. In fact you're still reading this comment for some reason. You just cannot stop reading it. Who knows why? I don't but play this deck! It will turn you into a midget and steal your wife. I'm drunk. The end.

Purify became a meme in literally 12 hours.

And the most poorly designed card is still Old Old Warsong Commander, give literally anything you summon Charge?

oh..
