Logged back on the website, and hearthpwn still didn't cease to amaze me. "Discard is uncounterable!!!" Play Warrior. Complaining about quests because you lose to them? Go ahead, write a thread about every card you lose to. Nobody on this thread is top 300 at the very least
Wild is irrelevant and should never be taken into consideration when making balance adjustments. Stay mad.
Ah, the average HearthPwn take. Enjoy playing Standard where you... die in one turn? Wait, that sounds a lot like Wild. Somehow one is better than the other in your head.
Only difference is Denathrius and Shockspitter are balanced in Wild when it comes to OTK, which is why the nerfs should've only affected Standard.
I've been enjoying discard lock on duels. Easy 7+ wins with the new cards. Can't see the deck to be any good in standard tho.
It'll always be terrible in Standard unless they bring over the heavy hitters to Core, which is basically the reason Discolock finally broke. If you keep supporting an archetype on-and-off for 7 years with hopes of reviving it in Standard, it'll eventually pay off in an eternal format.
7 years after the first actual Discard support in The Grand Tournament, Discard Warlock went from a laughingstock, to mediocre, to one of the strongest decks the game's ever seen. All it took was enough cards that play themselves when you Discard them so the mechanic doesn't feel terrible.
I know it may feel bad to play against, but I'll let Discolock have its well-deserved place as the most broken deck out right now, only 7 years in the making. I'm glad to have witnessed it from the very beginning, including back to when I crafted Lakkari Sacrifice and Clutchmother Zavas (both of which are still too terrible to even cut the list) to try and make the archetype work.
Felt garbage at 5 Mana, is completely terrible now. I'm sure he's still needed in Standard where the biggest threat there is Denathrius, but the card is awful in Wild. Mostly glad though, I started to hate him more than I liked him around.
This is not an invitation for certain people under every post to say nobody cared about Duels or Mercs to also bitch under this post, but I just played Duels with the new bucket system and it's a big pile of dogshit.
"What happened to the buckets," you may ask?
Even though they were usually terribly unreliable and weren't compatible with several deck archetypes, the bucket system now no longer offers you cards based on your deck. It's just random shit from a specific expansion or some "Murderous Intent" bucket with random garbage in there. Basically Arena with more steps.
Instead of adding new Passives and Buckets to support new archetypes, they said "fuck it" altogether and added 4 DK-only Passives and demolished the bucket system. Coming from a long-time Duels fan, I'm not playing that shit anymore. You probably shouldn't waste your time seeing how bad it is either.
This is the only card in the Arcane package that could actually be run on its own, along with that Ricochet Shot probably. Good card in Questline Hunter, not an Odd card though so I don't care for it.

It's funny that the two Druid legendaries this set are Reno Jackson and Elise the Enlightened without the highlander restriction lol

Be careful who you bully in high school.

Disco is a lot more consistent and ends games quicker than the tiller combo ever would.

Not sure if this is possible, but:
Character: Orc in Santa's clothing
Action: Stealing presents
Background: Lots of snow in a forest. Its nighttime. Tree in the middle has Christmas lights and presents underneath.
Details: Orc has a bandit eye mask and a large sack of goods. Maybe try a sleigh on the side?
I'd love to see the results!

Don't really care about Standard, but those two classes are the most fun in the game
Warrior is terrible in both formats and Shaman gets boring very quick
