Hearthpwn

Omega nuts card. Alignment Druid usually skips Turn 2 and this is crazy good post-Alignment.

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

It'll be announced ~1 week after Heroic Brawl starts tomorrow

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.

Standard never fails to ruin a good Wild card lol

"strongest deck the game has ever seen"

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

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.

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.

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 

what is this terrible art

Getting random spells is trash, but the cost reduction is top tier.

I am so sorry for everyone still playing HS. LoL

 I feel sorry for people like you. Those who seemingly don't play anymore but still waste time posting on forums for games they don't play or even like, judging by your post here. And if you do still play, that's even more sad for you. 

Wild chads :  dont ever complain, uses any cards, have fun, say well played when OTK'D

Standard virgins : cry every 2 weeks for nerf, ragequits when OTK'D, watches streamers instead of playing

Love your posts, bro. You're the best troll on this site. Keep up the solid content. 

Probably the best deck in wild atm. I can't even pinpoint what cards break it, it's just a critical mass of synergy has finally made discard broken. The deck is best made as an aggro face-combo thing, going for value with things like Lakkari/Jeklik/Zavas is garbage.

I have ridiculous boards on turn 2. I have crazy burst damage to where I've ended games on turn 3/4. I have the best card draw in the game and often deck myself by turn 6, I just seem to have access to my whole deck all the time. The randomness of discard was supposed to be the downside of big payoff cards but when everything is now controlled discard, you're just playing stuff for 0 mana.

Expired Merchant hitting a Soul Barrage or Hand of Gul'dan is basically game over since you then get access to infinite card draw or absurd burst. The Malchezaar's Imp + Tome Tampering combo actually lets you multiply your card draw and burst damage WHILE creating insane boards, but the cards don't even have to function solely together since the imp is great with The Soularium and any other discard, and when you have multiple hands from the merchant, you can go ahead and tamper for free because they'll refill you. One card that shocked me was Tiny Knight of Evil, if that card lives for a turn it grows to like a 10/9 the next turn and I've had loads of cases where it just hits for 20 attack the next turn.

Amazingly you can kill people on turn 3 when the stars allign:

Yep. they have to shut down all packs and the shop the moment they start having higher than expected drop rates.

If the drop rate of those packs had been abnormally low they wouldn't have said or done a thing.
