Is there any hint that blizzard intends to further improve rewards improving the game f2p aspect during the year of the dragon?

As someone who also loves playing control I think there’s reason to be optimistic if we consider how much the game changed over the last two years.

I suspect that blizzard is afraid of powering up control since quite a lot of people are ”aggro fanatics” and, at least in theory, they are more friendly to new players (which is only a kind way to say they don’t require skill to pilot haha).

I believe that introducing more cards that allow to interact with the opponents hand would take the game to a next level but the question is…does blizzard want that?

I understand the point but can’t say I agree with this.

In my opinion the meta has been improving largely over the years. By the end of the last expansion for example we had so many viable decks as never before. I find it much worse to lose a game against a “brainless” aggro deck in which all the person has to do is play a minion and attack face. However I understand that some people like to play like that so that is why in the end it is interesting to see the meta changing (one day I will be happy playing in a meta with combo/control but other day I will be complaining about the excessive amount of aggro decks).

Most times I tend to assume that people complaining about the meta now haven’t played back then when HS could as well be called shamanstone: heroes of totencraft. So it puzzles me when someone who knows the game well write an article like this (but, again, I have full respect over your opinion).

Another thing I thing intriguing is how people can’t see a classical card being essential in a meta and they already start to call for HoF. Following that logic is better to rotate the full set itself and them stop all this complaining. It’s better than seeing nerfs like the ones we saw for innervate and fiery axe.

I believe more counterplays and cards that allow you to interact with your opponents hand would be a more interesting alternative.

Is Zola worth crafting/essential for this deck?

Is that possible for the next season to compute and make available the number of hours that you will spend playing on ranked?

Awesome guide by the way!

Mate, Reno is not from Mean Streets =)

Do you guys think Skulking Geist Jeopardizes this deck changes to win a game?
It can be really frustrating to encounter one but yet it is not impossible to win.

I think you use acolyte of pain
