greedy sprite being pulled by oakheart is pretty bad. That’s the only downside I know of.

I love nerfs for that reason too. I just think it would be pretty shady to nerf a card that you said you “didn’t have plans for” three weeks prior.

That’s just bad PR imo. And “For now” is always a bs disclaimer. It shouldn’t mean three weeks later.

I’ll be pissed if they actually nerf giggling now after their official statement saying they weren’t going to touch it.

I was saving my duplicates for the nerf but gave up with that announcement.

I think the only problem with rotating formats would be they are mostly for veteran players. No new player is going to craft a deck for a rotating comp format. If you don’t already have the cards, you just won’t play any.

My favorite (despite it being rotating) is definitely enchantments. Not only would this be new and fun to play for a month, but it would also allow devs design insight for future expansions. I honestly think it would be invaluable for team 5 to test different mechanics (which I feel they did in taverns of time to a certain extent to see the effects of card draw).

I’ll also add that both Lich and zilliax are extremely safe crafts so if you have the dust, craft them now.

@Meta It doesn’t really matter. I know that Savjz was the first to build the deck. I hope everyone else realizes that too.

Also I don’t watch Asmodai, but if what you say is true, I probably never will.

You have to have the others too. Otherwise you will lose against any aggro matchup. If you are missing the only two taunt minions in the deck, you are gonna have a rough time. Plus I’m pretty sure zilliax is one of the MVP’s since the 6 mana 5/5 you could potentially summon will completely swing the game in your favor.
Lich will also give you spells that can further your spellstone alongside being an excellent board presence.

In big decks generally, you really can’t omit any single card because there are only so many specific minions in the deck.

Absolutely not.

Oh ShIt YoU hAvE a GoLdEn CoPy?? tHaT’s SuPeR oP!!

This is probably one of the worst brawls I have ever played. If the decks had any synergy whatsoever then maybe it would be fun.

Honestly, that isn’t fair to mind vision or slam. Even those are better than what was given.

Yes hallucinate is better. But a classic card will ensure the thief ability and archetype remains in the game indefinitely.

And yes you obviously wouldn’t run both.

You know what would make a great classic legendary:

dirty rat 2.0

That card alone won’t make thief rogue viable. A power gain maybe but not enough to put it on the map.

I understand what they’re saying about taunt minions, but when a card is in over 50% of all decks I think that’s a clear sign something needs to be done.

If quest rogue gets another nerf as a result of this decision, I’ll be salty.

They don’t want to break the meta. If you read even a tiny bit of their explanation, they are meant for new players. Cards that randomly generate stuff can never be op and allow a great experience for new players. It is exactly what it needs to be.

If you have to build a deck around an entire card I would definitely say that is an archetype. Yes it can be put as a secondary win condition anywhere else, but the decks that focus on mecha’thun as the sole win condition have created their own archetypes.

Odd rogue is just a new aggro rogue deck. odd pally is just a new aggro dude deck. If we classify each deck by mill, combo, aggro, control etc. there will never be any new archetypes.

Whether they are tier 1 or not has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. Obviously Mecha’thun is not tier 1.

I don’t even know what you are trying to say…

When Shudderwock was released it created a whole combo archetype for shaman. I don’t know how Mecha’thun is any different from that.

There have been plenty of new archetypes created from this expansion. They just have been overshadowed by the power level of witchwood’s baku and genn.

Priest is not meta right now. But I am obsessed with Savjz’s new Big Priest. Look it up if you’re interested!
