Wow predicted 5 out of 7. Quest priest candidate for tier 0? Was already afraid for this, in for a boring meta meh! Return of otk decks like Holy wrath paladin (or malygos decks – still not moved to the hall of fame) to counter priest? Highlander hunter will surely benefit. This all means that I need dust lots of it 🙁 Will Blizzard compensate?

At the moment in my exp it’s about who gets Galakrond first wins (or DR/Ancharr/Dragonqueen). That’s not fun so another nerf patch is welcome.
Potential nerf candidates I see: Galakrand Legendaries, Necrium Apothecary, Scion of Ruin, Ancharrr and pref Dragonqueen Alexstrasza too and I still would like to see Malygos move to the Hall of Fame.
I do fear Quest Resurrect Priest will come out on top which is a boring deck to play against.
Also Blizzard should compensate all players for these patches by giving 5 free card packs or better just give a free legendary (1600 dust).

I think the majority finishing in ranks 15-25 probably says they only played a few games that month. Even my oldest kid (11yr) can easily get to 14 with one of my decks. My exp from rank 5 to legend is that everyone plays one of the top 5 decks and it’s just the amount of time you’re willing to invest eventually you will reach legend. Seriously Hearthstone ain’t hard it’s about money (cards) and time. Top streamers do play 8-10 hours a day. Congrats to all legend players 😉

Krag’wa? I rather have a second Earth shock or Hex. Also Archmage Vargoth is a cheaper win-more card.

This card must be the most underrated card of the set. 2 stars lol. Turned out to be one of the most played cards.

I know the latest expansion (within a year) is supposed to be the stongest, but Galakrond is totally dominating the meta. Galakrond decks are more midrange/value which explains why control is absent. I tried a few games playing the traditional control warrior and got wrecked by priest, shaman and even Galakrond warrior, bevause of the Galakrond hero attack power that kept hitting me.

Btw I Just faced quest resurrect priest and dragon control (so people do notice your lists), I wrecked them both with Galakrond shaman 😛 At low ranks (3-1) I’m facing Galakrond warrior, shaman and (highlander) rogue mainly. Face hunter was popular for a while, but I noticed a decline (personal exp) probably because of the bad matchup against Galakrond warrior.

With Galakrond being so OP there’s little room for other deck types. Most games tend to end whoever draws an upgraded Galakrond first (or the dragonqueen) which is sometimes frustrating.

Perfect list! As shaman you tech Witch’s Brew and face hunter forfeit the game:P

Played some games with galakrond quest… rank 3-0 to 2-3 loosing only once to face hunter.
Shamanstone is still real.

Faceless will still be OP. Missing nerfs to Dragon’s Pack and Galakrond. I don’t see how this would affect the meta that much.

Rank 5 to rank 2 atm with a list similar to this one, using 2x Wolfrider and 2 secrets (instead of 4), 1 tracking and 2x Questing Explorer.

I guess Blizzard skipped testing again, will they ever learn…

Galakrond Shaman is broken, how did it make out of testing? Blizzard should nerf Corrupt Elementalist (4 mana, invoke once), Dragon’s Pack (+2/2) and Galakrond, the Tempest (minions with less stats).

Time to move Malygos to Hall of Fame.

I found this part ironic; “Every Voice Matters, and we strongly encourage everyone in our community to share their viewpoints in the many places available to express themselves.”
Because after sharing my viewpoint on the Blizzard forums about free speech and democracy, my account was silenced for a 1000(!) years which is still in place. So maybe they cut it in half to 500 years lol?
To quote Rod Breslau: “at this point I’d rather Blizzard, Riot, the NBA, Apple, and all other game developers/movie studios just tell me to go fuck myself, they want China’s money, and they don’t think Americans have the balls to stop using their products than these lies disguised as PR statements”
To summon it up… I don’t think this will be enough.

I’ve got banned for a 1000 years for posting on the hearthstone forums asking Blizzard to stand up for freedom of speech. I’ve been playing Blizzard games and giving them my money for at least 15(!) years. I’m speechless really. I hope they come to their senses soon.

“Your account is unable to post or reply until Oct 11, 3019 9:54 pm.”
Yeah that’s right… 3019(!).

Doing business in a country where human rights are violated shines on the company as well. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of the modern western society. Even though the event might not be the place for politics, the course of action does not match with the values that I think a company founded in the USA should stand for. As someone who lives in europe and thus having fully freedom of speech and movement, I support anyone in his fight for freedom. I’m taking a time out from hearthstone.

As others suggested removing Blast Shield and/or rush from Dr. Boom and removing the mech tag from Omega Devastator would be a better solution imo. Dr 7 is now Dr 9.
I now expect less mages and more CW mirrors (I play CW on ladder) which will be boring 🙁

Agree on mage and warrior being OP atm, plz nerf Brawl (6), Boom (rush) and luna’s pocket galaxy (back to 7).

Best zoo version so far imo.
But it’s still hard in a meta with mage with flame ward, control warrior, battlecry shaman, hunter and priest.

Token druid and mech paladin will remain strong decks.
