Ideally you want Velen to be able to deal more damage or perform OTK together with other spells. Like what lunewong mentioned, you could have this card stuck in your hand without a proper chance to use it efficiently. Having Elise is fine, because her value will always be there.

If you play Standard only, then you may want to reconsider crafting Kazakus since it will be rotated out during the next cycle (months to come). But if you do play Wild, then you can consider crafting it for long term usage.

Hey There,

There are a few possible ways to overcome this problem while playing Ranked mode. Firstly, try not to tilt. So when you lose like more than 3 games in a row, perhaps take a short break before coming back again. You may watch some shows and relax yourself, or drink a cup of tea/coffee to refresh yourself. Maybe you may also play other games to make yourself feel better. For me I switch between HS and Overwatch from time to time.

Squelching your opponent right from the start of the game would also be a good choice. This is to prevent meeting some annoying people who keep spamming emotes, those who usually tend to be salty af when they are about to lose, or enjoy BM when they are about to win. These actions of theirs will lead you to stressed moments, and will affect your decisions during your turn. Worse still, that feeling may bring forward to your next game, which is something that you wouldn't want to happen, and will result in tilting.

Lastly, some perform better while they listen to music that they like. However, some prefer absolute peace and quiet while playing the game, so that they can make better decisions. It's up to individual and personal gaming habits.

Hope this helps!

Priest does not need a nerf tbh. They have been an average Tier 3 class for the longest time, and a Tier 2 at best. One of the best days was Dragon Priest, which managed to climb to a high Tier 2. And maybe a low Tier 2 for N'Zoth Priest (later fell to Tier 3/4). That was about it.

It is pretty surprising to see Priest being able to get to Tier 1, and get to its state now (if you play Priest for a long long time). But then again, it really requires some skills to play Priest decks. I do agree that it can be rather annoying, but isn't Pirate Warriors annoying as well? It's just a different level of annoyance. And not forgetting that it gets completely rekt by aggro without proper cards for early game survival, specifically Aggro Druid, Token Druid, and Pirate Warrior. Be it Standard or Wild.

So the answer is No.

=)

I would disagree that Priest class would be bad post-Un'goro. Currently playing Quest Priest, with a decent-to-good win rate. Unlike other Quests that require the players to push it ASAP, Awaken the Makers on the other hand should be treated more like a bonus, where you don't have to push for it so soon.

As long as you are able to maintain and control the board efficiently early-mid & mid game, and push for a decent amount of damage to the opponent's hero throughout your turns to late game, you will basically win the fatigue game eventually.

The concept of Purify Priest (post-Un'goro) is also pretty interesting. That would be something I would like to try out as well!

OH MY GOD. THIS MADE MY DAY! HOLY SH*T BALLS!

Probably you should try squelching at the beginning of every game. This prevents BM at every/many levels. At the very least, you don't even know it's coming, and it doesn't affect you at all! It will definitely make you feel a whole lot better.

Just remember why you loved the game in the first place. Don't give up so easily. Like others have mentioned, perhaps you can try Arena mode for a quick change.

Hope this helps dude. =)

Yeah, having the same performance issue here as well. Playing on iPad Air on the latest iOS. 

Herald Volazj is an awesome card, at least theoretically. Unfortunately, the fact is that it is a little too slow. I would agree that you need a decent board to drop this to get value out of Herald, which often difficult to achieve (not always, but inconsistent). Unless you can pull through some ridiculous combos (like copying a Ysera, Malygos, Sylvanas Windrunner, etc.). But definitely not at a competitive level, which I really hope to see, but it ain't happening.

Control Priest is definitely getting better in this meta, but it will probably stay at a mid-Tier 2 level or lower at best for now. Hope to see it at Tier 1 level someday!

This card performs slightly better than expected. It has a Piloted Shredder body, and grabs a random card from your opponent's deck; it allows presence on board, being able to "kill something" for you (say 50% of the time), while giving you "back" a card. Value trade-off.

If you are unable to silence this, that's it. It's really difficult to counter a 4/10 body, without proper removals/silencers. Ysera is 9-mana 4/12, this is 4-mana 4/10 (usually can be buffed without much issues)...

If you Brann Bronzebeard it, it becomes a 4/15 body... ... Just wow.

Light of the naaru is worse than flash heal

 I'd disagree on that one

Without Lightbomb, the most important element now is board presence and board control. Excavated Evil can only do that much, so it is definitely not enough to replace Lightbomb. This is just talking about 1 single card, excluding combos (i.e. Auchenai + Circle combo, etc.).

The value of this card tripled, now that you have all the new Old Gods card released, especially cards like N'Zoth, the Corruptor. When sometimes you don't have any means to clear the board, Eadric the Pure at least minimizes the damage, while stalling a turn or two.

Tossing the coin at Turn 3, for this 4-mana 7/7 body, I wonder if it's really possible to deal with this, without a proper removal. I would literally facepalm if I see my opponent does that to me... =(
