An epic milestone for the commons.

Apart from Subject 9 all these cards were highly rated before the expansion dropped. What a terrible and pointless article.

I get the impulse for consistency across the Giants, but I do think that Sea Giant and Frost Giant are clearly of a different kind of being in WoW than the others. They're both huge humanoids, and though they reflect their environments, I don't think they rise to the level of elemental the same way a giant being of lumbering rock or snow does.

Quote from Lyra_Silvertongue >>Why nerf Quest Rogue again? It has it's own bad match-ups in both formats.
The point of nerfs is for power adjustment, not simply perpetuating the belief that it is good for the game to delete decks from the game when players got tired of the deck after a month. Nerfing a deck will not prevent players for asking for whatever replaces it to be nerfed as well. Should we just keep nerfing every single deck after it sees play for a month, until all that is left is the 2018 equivalent of Warsong Commander (ie trash cards that disappear from the game forever)?

Tarim and Gul'dan DON"T need nerfs, they are perfectly fine as they are.I agree with the rest.

I know this really is an irrelevant topic......but I still think we have a right to know. I am a Statistician by trade, with over 15 years of experience crunching p-values and t-tests. So I decided to run a statistics experiment to test my theory. I would encourage anyone to repeat my experiment and see if you get similar result.
Procedure: I climbed to Rank 5 using a Pally Murloc Deck. I rapidly ascended to this rank, and then, of course, ran into the Void Lord and Cubelocks. Earlier than rank 5, I got a fairly even mix of opponents, but because the Cubelock is dominating right now, I expected to see more of them at the higher ranks. So......I changed one card in my deck. ONE CARD. I swapped out a knife juggler for a Defias Cleaner to get an extra silence tech. I was already running 2 spellbreakers, so this card had no purpose other than to silence a voidlord.
I immediately noticed the ladder was not facing me against cubelocks anymore. Since I couldn't lose stars at that rank, I started a game, and if it wasn't a warlock, I just conceded. It literally took me 17 games to even face a warlock.......and the deck was a ZOO build....NOT Cubelock. It took me 26 concessions to find a cubelock to go against.....because I changed one card to counter that deck,
I repeated that experiment every 3 hours.....just to allow some new players to come on and off.
I used 26 matches as my standard candle. (No pun unintended)
Trial 1 : 3.8% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 4.0% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 4.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average: With deck holding 3 silences, instead of 2.....the chance of facing cubelock was 4.0%
OPPOSITION EXPERIMENT:
I took the Defias Cleaner out, and put my knife juggler back in.
Again standard candle of 26 games at Rank 5:
Trial 1: 73.2 % chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 57.6% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 69.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average 66.6% chance of facing cubelock.
Remember, this is a sampling of over 150 games, 75 WITH a 3rd Silence (No Cubelocks), and 75 with only 2 Silences (Many Cubelocks)
By changing ONE card in my deck, the likelihood that I would face the deck it was DESIGNED to beat went down by a factor of 4.5. When I removed that one card, the likelihood I would face that same deck went UP by a factor of 4.
As a further test, I took out a card and added a Ravenholdt Assassin, which has the same stats as a Defias Cleaner, but no silence. I saw ZERO change in the amount of cubelocks I was facing with the card, but did only run one trial.
So right now, Pally, Priest, and Warlock, and hunter are the classes to beat. You would think you would see them on average every four games, with a couple randoms thrown in.
But based on switching out ONE card.....and running hundreds of trials I found my chance of facing a cubelock DROPPED 62% when I put in a tech card to counter it. One Single Card.....the Defias Cleaner.
I implore someone to recreate my experiment. If Blizzard is fudging the latter, we need to know about it.
