Hearthpwn

I just conceded a game where i was looking at two 9/9 stealthed minions, a 13/13 Edwin, and a 6/2 weapon on turn 5 or 6. What the hell am i supposed to do? I can’t even target half of the board. Only warrior has Brawl and Priest has the only spells that can actually counter something like this as far as i’m aware. Maybe mage could stall a turn or two by getting lucky with freezes i guess but are you kidding me? It’s the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever seen in this game all year (in standard format obviously). If anyone has any ideas on how to stomp these guys out i’d love to know about it

If i queue up against a druid, mage, or imp warlock i just concede. It’s a shame because the expac is really fun at its core and has a ton of great ideas to experiment with but some decklists are out of control

Smiteful Summoner genuinely made me laugh 

Your post is so convoluted that it’s hard to tell that you’re actually not a druid main and are complaining that other classes are paying for druid’s sins. But if that’s the case, the only other lists i can think of that run Kazakusan, that being control warrior and dragon priest, already either meet the card’s new requirement or are very close to doing so. Control Warrior runs Onyxia and two copies of the taunt dragon that shield slams, so what’s the issue in throwing one or two more dragons or amalgams to activate the requirement? However, i agree with the notion that this nerf does absolutely nothing to fix the issue with druids in this meta.

Don’t defend degenerate strategies like swticheroo was enabling. There is no merit or value in a game being decided by one card on turn 3

Sooo sick of hearing this excuse that pirate warrior isn’t good in high legend and therefore shouldn’t be nerfed. Not only were the problematic cards left untouched but it continues to get more support to push it over the edge. Not one of the other quest archetypes from Stormwind is relevant to this degree at this point as virtually none of them received new cards to work with this expansion. Just kill off the deck already

What are you guys playing against it to lose so often? Lol

Warrior mains are so spoiled with removal options that they think a 1 mana kill almost anything is bad

If the purpose of this algorithm is to force players to spend more money, then why has it been perfectly possible to hit legend with only face hunter since Descent of Dragons came out? 

Quote from MrDread >>

So I guess I'm wearing a tinfoil hat when I face priest after priest with multitude of taunts and decide to use owl for silence but then haven't seen a priest since and it's been well over fifteen matches.

If anyone believes matchmaking isn't rigged then they're in denial.

 

 Your problem is running Ironbeak Owl when Royal Librarian and Showstopper are available in standard

Looking at the comments and the data, DH and Quest hunter are candidates for a nerf and the strongest card in both decks is the card they can’t nerf. Not even a month ago, they sold a single card for $25 in the store. Not a cosmetic upgrade, not a random card, but Drek’thar as a diamond card was the first named card sold for real world money. If they nerf Drek’thar, anyone who bought that card is entitled to a refund through Google store and Apple store TOS. I think the best thing they could do is nerf Drek’thar,  give gold/cash refunds and never sell single named cards again, but I don’t think that’s what will happen.

Can't wait to see Defend the Dwarven District dodge another bullet!

High levels of play is just a tiny percentage of all players, If I were Blizzard I'd focus on making the game fun for the bottom 99% first. If those players quit there's not much point in having high level play anyway.

Quest hunter is dead. The real problem is mech mage, pirate warrior, and then druid is on another level playing a completely different game. Whichever game developer thought it was a good idea for a class to play by different rules should be fired. The progressive build up to 10 mana defines hearthstone as a game. Druids are now playing with 20 mana so by definition are playing a different game then the rest of us. 

As of now on diamond, faced plenty innovative decks, a murloc warlock, a Hero Power Spell Mage, Naga Spell Priest, Actual Control Warrior. The four decks put on a very good game and 3 of them won.

you have until tomorrow to disenchant it for full refund. if its a normal copy, that's 1600 dust. golden copy 3200 dust. 

You can disenchant him for full dust refund, check your collection

I'm confused by OP. Tutor card being a reprint of AI? 2x tutor for a class that likes combos being bad? (really depends on the combo).

So Cora found other cards more exciting but giggles that this is a "good card too". The only thing I got is "this is not the demon seed"....

* except you shuffle through the same 8 boss fights every time. Yep, much better. That must be why it's so popular.

Back when dungeon run came out, that's exactly what I thought. "Damn, I wish I was being pressured to build the exact same deck every run, to ensure I win even a single fight."
