I swear to God I've never seen a card so toxic, so rage-inducing and so unhealthy for the game like Theotar having played this game since Naxx wasn't even released. A nerf for this card is not enough for this game, this card must be banned forever in Standard, Wild, and whatever game mode is available. This card is the absolute king of lousy design, non-interactive gameplay, and conclusive demonstration that you don't need skill in the slightest to play this game.

Welcome to probably one of the worst metas ever created between Denathrius, Theotar, Brann and the fucking overpowered druid. Good job as always team 5.

Welp I like Lady Liadrin but we all wanted to see Maarad as a prime mostly as a card for heavy control.This has only word to describe it:dissapointment.

I feel the same of all the impressive paladin characters Maarad,Yrel,A'dal or even a Naaru they have to pick a fucking random murloc.By God's sake Blizzard we had hope in you with the librams,the draenei cards but instead we get more murloc boring playstyle cards.Why Blizzard,why you had to be like this?

Welp this is my concept of what could be the paladin's prime minion a fan and lore favourite from Burning Crusade himself: Vindicator Maarad.I made him a heavy control paladin minion because I want to see that archetype flourish alongside this new expansion.The main keyward of him is making enemy minions ablilities unable.In other words if they have a minion with battlecry or an effect after they awaken from dormant when they played the battecry will not trigger,dies and have a deathrattle,it will not activate.Furthermore when the enemy minions are displayed into the battlefield this card will act as mass silence constant effect while he is alived of course.This will make him the terror of all aggresive decks and a main counter to that broken new legendary demon hunter minion.Hope you enjoy it.

Ty so much mate.

Despite the nerf, I want to reassure everyone that Mage can still ping 7+ each turn damage with its hero power (being on the receiving end). 

Yeah, that's the thing. Theotar is nuts because it's the only way to actually get rid of Denathrius, and Denathrius terminates everything, so it has to be Theotar'd. If the meta revolved less about holding that super OP card for ages until it auto-completes the game, it would be a lot more fair.

Of course, it's still a stinker if you happen to play quest priest or something like that, but at least would become a simple combo counter, not a "everything that is not aggro" counter.

Game is dead. Just haven't had fun playing it for a while now. Its been a few absolute trash sets in a row now. Trash metas. They take FOREVER to implement nerfs. Probably because they're too busy trying to figure out ways to make money instead of actually putting out a good product.

The one good mode they had left was Battlegrounds and they even managed to ruin that too.

Thanks Devs! And thanks to all the people who hired you who thought you'd be good at your jobs. Just a domino effect of stupid. R.I.P. Blizzard gaming...hope you guys "have phones" cause you're gonna need them to call the unemployment office soon.

The only times my opponent's Theotar hasn't hit my Denathrius all morning is when I don't have it in hand. Constantly losing otherwise unlosable games to opponents hitting 33-50% chances, making all other decisions irrelevant throughout the game. Utter horseshit.

Good for them! Death by Denathrius is awful to experience. 

Hope they nerf druid next week. Standard has become so dull and BG´s is not worth paying for. First time in years I will quit HS for a while again. Hell, it even made me play and enjoy mercenaries at this point more than standard.

This meta is fucking shit. It's either die to Denathrius every game or steal it with Theotar. It honestly feels like 95% of games these days are decided by Theotar. Such thought provoking gameplay. Either steal the broken card or die. 

 Agree 100%. I fucking hate that card. Remember when Mind Control Tech was in standard? It was universally despised. And now they've re-created it, in a manner that prevents you from playing around it. Entire games are lost if the opponent gets lucky. You can't even play your own cards.

Good lord when are the next round of nerfs coming??

Imps, Druid, Hunter, and Mage all need major nerfs to some of their cards. This is getting ridiculous.

 While I understand the frustration (and I do, I stopped playing because of the lack of diversity) and Team 5 is certainly partly to blame, I feel like there’s another culprit here: the players.

To quote the previous message mentioning playing against 8 freeze skeleton Mage in a row. Nobody is forcing them to stick to the same archetype. People don’t have to play Denathrius Druid but they do. Not every Warlock needs to be aggro Imp Lock but they are. 

I personally play Warlock (non Imp Lock) and hang around gold and I’d say 95% of other Warlock decks are identical imp locks. *identical*.

There’s very little motivation for players to try their own thing. This could be a chicken or the egg thing but players certainly bear part of the blame in systematically using identical decks. 

I personally regret getting past silver and wish we could rollback to previous ranks. Once you’re past a certain point in ranked, there’s no point in making your own deck, they should let you choose between Imp Lock, Demathritus Druid and Skele Mage, the rest of the cards end up being useless.
