Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I may be in the minority, but the ability to delete a sixth of your opponents deck (or a third in Wild) excites me. 5/5, even if somehow it doesn’t see play.

Well, this will slot right into Odd Paladin for sure

No, why would it? Rotation never happens until April

Seems comparable to Fal’dorei Strider, which is pretty good. comes down a turn earlier and the body isn’t much worse, so better tempo. We may see deathrattle synergies which could help, but even without, this is decent. 3/5

Interesting design… not an actual 3-drop per se, but still only works in aggressive decks. probably typically coming down T4/5, I expect it’ll mainly be 3 mana 4 damage + some tempo as a ping is required + card draw. Seems fairly solid, decent on a contested board state, great if you’re ahead, and OK for trying to recover the board, but face-tanking may hurt. Synergy with the lifesteal weapon may be important. 4/5

Looking forward to holy handgrenade (hopefully) tomorrow

Wait, why?

I can’t wait to put this in my wild Reno paladin!

Not totally related, but I don’t know where else to ask this:
A little while ago, I think I read something on this site saying that if you delibrately lose at rank floors to tank your MMR, it won’t work (i.e. your MMR won’t fall), but I can’t find that article. Could you please point me towards the source for this/confirm that I’m misremebering?

Well said. It’s tiring to read knee-jerk complaints (almost) every time something changes, so it’s refreshing to see someone recognising the hard work that goes into this game, and it’s important to note that for all the issues we’ve had recently, overall the game is in a good state. Yes, Shamanstone happened, and yes, they’ve felt the need to instate unprecedentedly quick nerf patches, but they’ve been trying new things all year, so there’re bound to be some hiccups along the way.

I don’t understand the point of decks like this. Could you please explain?

No, you pay 700 for the good side of the first chapter + 700 each for the other 3 chapters = 2800 total

…and then remember it’s discover

Well you’re not actually far off at all, since it’s discover, there’s a 1/26.7 chance, so even better

What is the aim of this deck? What do you mean by “infinite turn”?

Is Tak necessary or could he be substituted for e.g. Barista Lynchen?

Or this combo is a 5/7 on T4 into flamestrike T5, which is bonkers

So that they take up the the epic cards, so there are fewer good epic cards, so you are less likely to need to craft epic cards for your decks, so ultimately this means you save on dust.

Food for thought: Grizzled Wizard -> Shadowstep -> Grizzled Wizard
