Make Dirty Rat great again.
You think spreading plague is still good enough? Not a big fan of busted cards but i started to enjoy my taunt druid.
But i guess warleader goes to trash. This +1 HP made too often of a big difference. I mean its still prolly okay... but murlock decks will suffer A LOTa dn being an okay card might just be not enough against other meta decks.
Always dust nerfed cards, worst case possible you just craft them back with no loss whatsoever.
I was big Hunter fan when Call of the Wild was nerfed. I thought that it still will be played, but I was wrong. RIP 600 dust. Always dust nerfed cards, don't repeat other people's mistakes.
I guess that the new tavern brawl will be something smilar to boss battle royale/An evil exchange
Personaly I'm waiting for Top 2 tavern brawl again xD
I wouldn't be fun .
Everybody would play mechs or ice block . It's a solved game .
Not sure if it's solved. Happy Ghoul+Mind Blast priest might work, or somehing with Shadow Ascendant. And mechs wouldn't hold out if it's Standard.
Those are both Wild cards. So if it's standard, what else is there?
Yes that is correct
You mean 1600 for my golden warleaders :^)
NO! Your victory proves NOTHING!
No arena changes in this patch?
No, they said next patch
next patch
Are people seriously bitching about priest even though it's not half as oppressive as Jade Druid, or any aggro deck for that matter?
Aaaand I'm pretty sure that the nerfs will heavily affect every druid archetype... except Jade Druid. As long as UI and Jade Idol stays the same, this deck will be the best there is, wild or standard.
I do not poay Aggro Druid nor anything close to it and I have to say that yes Priest is currently the most oppressive class on the current ladder it's boring to play and even more boring to play against as it beats most control and now that aggro is nerfed it will be played even more. So let the PriestStone begin, the most boring meta since Karazhan. Have a nice time playing!
Priest will for sure be a t1 deck but it's not like they have zero counters, hunter will rise in popularity as will quest mage and hunter does well against both of those decks.
