What's wrong with Nightscale Matriarch? I love that card.

All of my adds have been positive other than this one token druid player.  He started spamming emotes relentlessly (pressing it a couple times, fine you're a nerd but i'm not going to be upset but he was emoting on cooldown). I got him really low but he totally took over the board and then i won with a top deck or hagatha card or something like that.  He adds me to tell me my play is trash and said he started emoting because "you take forever with your turns, this isn't HCT".   What a guy.

i'm 11/11 mythic raider and I'm usually pretty bored with the game nowadays, but I did play legion a fucking lot.  It does depend on what kind of content you like.  There is a lot of daily and weekly "rewards" to keep you busy but once you've maxed out your char you either play alts, pvp, or just bullshit around old content / stand in dalaran.

With mythic+ dungeons you can do five man content infinitely.  That can get stale but if you find some friends with a good comp it can be a lot of fun.  There is a lot of potential with that if that is your thing.  The gear is on par with mythic raid gear if you go high enough (other than the lack of set bonus but that is leaving in BFA anyway).

Raiding is pretty good.  I would say that classes are easier to play and there are a lot of pruned abilities, but you have to play them very well and the raid mechanics are often harder to the point where it balances out.  I spent a lot of time minmaxing my character and improving my raid performance.  I have my complaints about the titanforging system but progressing my character/performance to be pretty much the best of my spec on the realm (not a competitive realm) was quite rewarding.  

I thought pvp was good in WoD but in Legion it's been pretty meh.  The balance is decent so if you want to be really competitive with it and do high end arenas it's ok but there is little character progression in that regard.  WPVP is actually really good now after the fix a while back but there just isn't enough of it going on.  If you know where to look you can find it.  In WOD i was in a guild that raided stormwind every week on the same time, and some alliance guilds eventually started setting up defense groups so it would be two 20-30 man groups brawling it out in the city.  Oh how i'll miss spamming earthquakes on the healers and wiping their whole raid.  

There are a lot of sick mounts and cosmetics and shit.

As far as right now, this is solid for some mage elemental decks that run mountain giants with Book of Specters.

I don't think shaman have enough draw for mountain giant to really be part of the deck but maybe they will get some in the new expac.

It really depends on what kind of deck you're playing.  All of those decks can be frustrating to play with certain decks but not others.  I don't give a fuck about aggro mage if i'm playing control priest for example.

In my opinion the most frustrating and annoying deck to play in general is taunt druid.  Even when i'm favored and dominate the match there is little fun or pleasure in it, and it can be an instant win for them if they get the right shit.  It also feels like I get matched up with them constantly.  

Big Spell mage can be frustrating if you're a bad matchup for it.  When I'm playing combo priest against that I usually want to instant concede, but I don't.  

Spell hunter I don't find too bad.  I used to play poorly against that deck because I played into everything they had, but once I learned to prepare my board before ever popping a secret, I did a lot better.  

I think we're in agreement on Oakheart.  That part of my post was about the taunt druid deck in general, which doesn't really need Oakheart, it's just an excellent card in it.

I feel bad because I lost a game today when an evenlock played Gul'dan n curve while he had single digit HP bringing back 0 demons and the healing power kept him afloat and I still lost.

Yeah you're, right about Gul'dan.  I think it's overtuned but mostly the battle power.  Gul'dan's battlecry is very strong as well and it's value is comparable at times.  The main difference to me is Witching Hour.  3 boards vs 1.

I said in my post I don't know if anything should be done to the deck and if there was it would be to Haddronox not Oakheart, who is fine.  I was just pointing out the high difference in value compared to most 9 drops if he high rolls, but the low rolls sort of balance it.

It is a 9 mana card. Cards that expensive are supposed to be very powerful, otherwise there would be little reason to commit your entire turn using it.

Also, why are we even discussing nerfing big board fills when Gul'Dan is still in the standard meta? Are you wanting to allow warlock to bully the meta with a big board fill and their infinite value hero power? I don't think people think very much about the effect that nerfing one deck has on making other strong decks below that deck the next powerful thing.

 Well in the particular druid decks that Oakheart is used in, he is capable of generating insanely more value than most 9 mana cards.  There are playable 9 drops that pale in comparison to an Oakheart highroll.  However, there are reliable answers for this play but not for every class, and there are conditions where it doesn't work well or at all.  I don't think the problem is Oakheart alone so there is no need to nerf it, just in combination with druid's ability to ramp and stall with armor gen. It's kind of like a druid ramping out a spiteful summoner before the nerf. 

I'm not sure if it needs fixing.  When it high rolls it's broken but when you don't draw things correctly the decks don't really do much so the WR isn't absurd.

All these druids, what the fuck.  Does everyone play druid or am I just getting weird rng.  Seven games today, all druids.  Token and taunt.  I'm not even doing poorly I just want to play something else.

Though my winrate against taunt druid seems low for miracle rogue because according to hsreplay miracle has a very high WR.  Maybe i'm playing the matchup wrong as I just picked up miracle the other day (and rogue in general) but my winrate in that matchup is much closer to 50/50.  They always have early removal and once they drag me into the late game it gets ugly, and once they play the skill combo it's over.

 Try to put geist, wait for hadronx, bounce it to is hand. Try putting vanish for """early game""", never let taunts die. Also, try Tinkmaster overspark. Yes is a meme, yes you could get a win against taunt druid if you have luck.
Just some advice... Try it out

 Well miracle already has a good winrate against taunt druid apparently and none of the lists I see run that kind of tech so I was mostly wondering if I was playing the core of the deck wrong in that matchup.  Geist seems kind of awkward in the deck for other matchups because it kills cold blood but it would be good to stop him from killing his own hydro and it would make it hard for him to kill a huge Edwin.  Thanks for the tips, though.  That would make the matchup almost a sure win but I think it would hurt the deck overall.   

I was playing around with vanish for a while.  It's a really cool card in that deck in general because you can double up on the value of your battlecries and it punishes wide boards by burning cards and it punishes multiple big minions or buffs by killing their tempo.  The best thing about it is nobody ever seems to play around it because it isn't run a lot.  I ended up taking it out, though.

If you want something in standard there is resurrect priest with spellstone and Prophet Velen.  Ressurect Radiant Elemental, Prophet Velen, Malygos and then hit them with two 20 dmg Mind Blast or Vivid Nightmare + one 40 dmg mind blast.

I don't have Malygos so I can't play it unfortunately.  

Quests have been really weird for me through the event, but in a good way.  Just now I got a quest but it's not even the 31st yet and I already did a quest earlier today.  A few other times through the event i've gotten two quests when i logged in, or been given a second quest moments after I complete my first one.

Is this common?

Shadow Visions is one of my favorite cards.  So fucking versatile, going to be so sad when it rotates.  It's the best discover card in my opinion because it's a random three spells from your own deck, so the card can be reliable and benefits from good deckbuilding.  It can be used early to get something you'll need later, to answer something your opponent just did, or you can hold it to find a combo piece later on after seeing what you draw in the next few turns.

Stonehill Defender definitely needs some tweaking or something.  It might as well say "Add one Tirion Fordring or Sunkeeper Tarim" to your hand. I did a paladin run in arena and I got one of them four out of five times I played the card, and the other time I got The Lich King.

I farmed the 100g a day during the "top two" brawl playing mana wyrm + arcane missles deck and druing the recent one with mind blast priest.  It was just something I did while listening to music and surfing the net because I didn't have to think about the games at all so when hearthstone blinked because it was my turn i played my turn and tabbed back out.  

I think i've only done it once or twice outside of brawl farming.  Once when I got into combo priest after I crafted Lyra Sunshard (I fucking love this card and that deck) and another time when I was just trying to ladder.

The combo priest list with Nightscale Matriarch and Circle of Healing.  The deck has really nice tempo when you have a good hand, has a lot of fun interactions.  Just really "solid" and pretty decent in the meta.

Dragon Soul 'miracle' priest is a lot of fun, too.  

I've also enjoyed Murloc Mage and Miracle Rogue (just crafted the later, tinkering around with some deckslots; I think I like Sprint in this deck?)
