Zoo card.

We were complaining that 2x 5/6 with Taunt for 5 mana was OP not too long ago. Now we have 2x 7/6 for 5 mana (3 mana if you hit the nuts). It’s certainly going to make a deck.

Gentle Megasaur impression

Plated Beetle was a solid 2-drop. This should also be a solid 2-drop

So the question is whether this card is better or not than Auctioneer.

So most of the power of the majority of legendaries comes from Battlecries. It’s still nice to get an extra body, of course, but this will be worse than Atiesh for sure.

What do you mean the economy of MTGA is not rigged? For all the bashing it gets, the Hearthstone economy is actually much better in the long run than MTGA’s. You can dust your useless cards for 1/4 of the value, whereas in MTGA your 5th copy of a card is worth muuuuuuuuch, much less. Not to mention that when starting that game you need to invest precious Rare cards in… LANDS (equivalent of Hearthstone’s mana crystals) just so you can START being competitive.

I think this is mostly scary in Warlock with Dark Pharaoh Tekahn. Create a menacing board in the late game and you have a refill if they board clear. Galakrond Rogue may also want it if they need more value in the late game.

Priest needs a complete rework. The class has been heavily mistreated by Team5 during all HS history. The only thing the class has been given is board clears, mainly because the deplorable Classic set contains zero. Win cons have been scarce, basically only the boring Divine Shield + Inner Fire since the beginning and Shadowreaper Anduin. To make matters worse, they took away Mind Blast, one of the few decent spells the class had, so even less wincons.

What is left? DS + IF (again…) or Resurrect shenanigans. Since to maximize Rezz you need to have expensive minions die, the game is going to drag on for a long time. Big Priest was a scourge in Wild until the Barnes nerf, but Team5 thinks it’s a cool deck. Now we suffer it in Standard.

I love Priest. I think Resurrect mechanics can have a place. Balance them out by not allowing expensive minions to be resurrected. E.g.: Spell: Mid-range Resurrect: Summon 3 minions that died this game which cost 4 or less mana. Make it cost 4 mana or something. Priest could actually fight for tempo like that, and we wouldn’t need to wait forever to have expensive minions die and be resurrected.

I don’t think Blizzard cares about Wild balance. But I’m all for having Dirty Rat be a card in the Classic set and be done with it. Everyone has a right to tech vs combo decks.

Hearthstone desperately needs more interaction like this. They’re slowly getting there…

The tradition needs to continue for Priest to receive horrible cards…

Shields up… Red alert!

Because that would give you too many good cards for too little dust. The purpose of ranks 50-25 is that new players can play vs each other with basic cards sprinkled with the few cards you can open in packs. From rank 25 onwards you’ll start facing meta decks with powerful cards, so Whizbang becomes a fair card then.

Indeed, the invoke twice card is ridiculous. With other classes it takes me longer to fully upgrade Galakrond, but with Shaman you very often have it on curve. I think a good adjustment would be to delete Rush from both the Hero Power Elementals and the Battlecry Elementals you get from turning into Galakrond. If they don’t want to remove Rush from the elementals (because idk, flavor?) then the stats need to be reduced. Like 1/1 for the Hero Power and 2x 1/1, 3/3 and 5/5 with Rush when you turn into Galakrond. The Invoke twice card should be 6 mana. And the Wolves should be 4/5, not 5/6. I think those changes would definitely be very welcome and Galakrond Shaman would still be a good deck with presence in the meta.

That’s the card that gets me the most tbh. It’s too easy to Invoke early enough so you cast 2x 5/6 Taunt on curve on T5, and it gets worse when Electra makes that 4x 5/6 Taunt in T8.

Shaman needs a few adjustments so that it falls from T0 to T1-T2. I’m pretty sure that even after the nerfs Shaman will be very playable in the meta, before the Doom in the Tomb event Shaman was in a good spot without being OP.

Well maybe invest your gold and dust in a non-T1 deck, that way it will not get nerfed. If you invest your gold and dust into a clearly OP and T0 deck you have to expect nerfs. Galakrond Shaman is NOT ok and needs adjustment ASAP, you could see that after ~10 games of playing with or against the deck.

It was a bit of a joke. People are free to like and buy Alleria. 😉

Can’t understand why you’d want to run Alleria when Sylvanas is a possibility.
