Does the News Achievment still work if I comment here? :D

All of these still see play, lol.

Don't mind me, just randomly commenting here for a secret.

Ha I just drafted two corridor creepers and may not get to play my arena tomorrow.... better make some time before the update!

Can`t wait to get rid of aggrotard decks.

Plz don't play these decks.

New voiceline of Patches is

I am in CHANGGGE now 

Why would anyone not play overpowered cards? The goal of the game is to win not to handicap yourself by strange standards

That's one goal but not the ONLY goal. Some people play for fun or try and create something new. Some people purposely like to play the class that is not being played (like warrior this last ranked season).

Sure, that is perfectly fine. But than those players can't really complain on other decks being better when they play a worse deck on purpose.

Agreed - that was just one answer to why someone would not play the OP cards or certain deck styles.

well aggro is being hit the most by the nerf

"Trying" it's not like those decks saw competitive play until they will be nerfed, and some of them might continue being relevant with a few tweaks. Those decks (+ tempo rogue and aggrodin) are the reason why those cards are being nerfed.

I think razakus priest will drop velen but will continue to exists still a good control deck it will miss the combo potential but a control variant might be good, will probably drop a few tiers since it can't beat control warlock/cubelock as constitant as now.

Zoo will always exist and there are variants without patches, with demons instead and they work quite well, I think creeper will still be ok in zoo, they will probably drop patches, but keep one copy of bonemere.

Token druid might keep patches, and creeper as they value cheap bodies and cheap minions specially if one of them is a beast (mark of Y'sherajj)

Face hunter well.. maybe secrets hunter will be good again since freezing trap just got much better. dunno depends on the meta really. he might be good to bully cubelocks, since they are often greedy.

Hunter will probably be top deck for the first 2-3 weeks till the meta settles.

We will probably see some tier 2-3 decks become viable again with less raza in the meta.

My soon to be dusted golden Patches the Pirate says hello

But is he in charge now?

Honestly, I actualy like Raza Priest. Not like I'm gonna miss it after nerfs or so, but it was just very unique deck and very difficult to pilot correctly (cycle one more, dragon archetype is more like playing things on curve) and decks with so high skill ceiling are really rare in Top Tier. No, you don't play Raza on turn 5 everytime even if you have him. No, you don't play Anduin on turn 8 everytime even if you have him. Besides of mirror which is almost purely draw luck based (like almost every mirror tho) every single matchup requires a different strategy and you have to really think twice before wasting your resources as you have only one of each.

Yes, it is broken. But then again, have you ever heard community to worship Tier 1 deck? People will always hate on the best deck like it was in past, like it is in present with lock and priest and same will be with future Top Tier decks. I don't see anything wrong with people playing it especially on ladder. It is competetive, obviously you want to use the best thing you can.

PS: "Spiteful Priest simply being a better deck" - this is not true. Maybe across whole ladder but Legend rank has highest winrate on Highlander Priest (58% or so, which is crazy). That just prove my point that there is a really big difference between skilled and average player playing this deck.

I'm still waiting for this card...
