Why are people memeing Jade Rode so hard when it is obviously worse than shit? Have people done this with other decks before expansions in the past?

It's mostly played because it's a 1 mana spell that reads "draw two cards". That's why it's that good. the spell count is signficant to be sure, but the fact that it's a +1 for 1 mana is why it's so good.

Yeah, but it's gotten nothing good in a long time, it's going to lose some staples in a few weeks, and it's getting nothing back from MSoG.
The cards it's getting in MSoG are clearly pushing Warrior to be more aggro/tempo based, meanwhile we have Druid that's getting permanent fatigue immunity, it will get overwhelemed by the aggro from Goons decks, it will probably do okay against Kabal, but it will depend on how Reno-y and inconsistent they are.
>>
>>160855943
>it will probably do okay against Kabal, but it will depend on how Reno-y and inconsistent they are.
I can tell you from personal experience on both sides that Reno Mage vs CWarrior is a worse matchup for Warrior than Freeze Mage v Warrior is for the Mage. It's almost unwinnable, same with Control Priest.

Them getting tools to iron out the inconsistencies is not going to help.

You realise this is also going to fuck over literally any grimy goons deck as well, right?

At best, it decreases the mana cost of your terribly understatted hand buffing minions by one, and maybe adds one attack. At worst, that hand full of 1 drops that you've been buffing for four turns turn into tinyfins.

Oh yes, because when I think of cards that Control Warrior is really good at beating, the first ones that come to mind are Cabalist's Tome, Polymorph, Ethereal Conjurer, Forgotten Torch, Antonidas, Water Elemental, Firelands Portal, Entomb, Thoughtsteal, Shifting Shade, Museum Curator, Siphon Soul and Jaraxxus. Kazakus and the card that lets them discover at least one of those cards won't be an issue either, I'm sure.

Polymorph and Hex are both acceptable forms of single target removal for problematic creatures.

Devolve isn't that.

It's not even totally effective removal. Its primary purpose is to destroy any minion synergy that your opponent sets up.
They're playing a deathrattle/N'Zoth deck? Congratulations, that no longer matters.
They're playing a tribal deck? Not anymore, you're now playing a collection of random creatures.

That's my issue. It's not a removal card, it's a card that destroys whatever theme your opponent intended for their deck and turns it into random trash. That's not fun. That doesn't create cool stories. You might as well be playing Arena rather than constructed because whenever you play against a shaman from now on, you're not allowed to have synergy in your deck because it's just going to get punished by a 2-drop.

Blizzard really needs to make the 1000 wins quest repeatable. Like you get 300 for every 1k wins. For most people it takes like 6 months to get 1k wins. Giving them 300 gold every 6 or so months isn't anything huge yet feels nice.

No they aren't. They're both undercosted by 2. And Entomb needs to be removed from the game entirely.

This basically means shaman autowins against the three following decks:

N'Zoth
Anyfin
Rez priest

And probably grimy goon decks as well.
Good fucking job Blizzard! Your erotic fantasy of a meta where you only play shaman and freeze mage is that bit closer to being true.

There's nothing wrong with cheap spot removal.

Fucking hell Blizzard. If this isn't broken, nothing is. Shaman getting a anti-control card that also fucks up aggro, but only slightly less. On top of that they have cheap AOE and still the nice 1 mana 3/3 weapon.
What the fuck where they thinking?

Fucks up tribe decks, fucks up buffs, fucks up strong minions, fucks up weak minions with synergy, fucks up deathrattle, fucks up ongoing effects, fucks up taunt... fucks up literally everything.

Literally anti-fun - the card.

And the RNG isn't even an issue.
People already play the best minions for them in their decks. So anything they get is worse.
Just don't play it if the enemy has a bunch of 9 drops since 8 drops are generally better and there is a big chance of the enemy getting Tirion, Rag 1 and Rag 2. And lets be real, people generally don't run 9 drops except for Malygos.

This OC is shit.

First of all it is HORRIBLY understatted. What if, for instance, it devolves a bomb squad into a flame wreathed faceless?! No we need to be fair to our players. Make this a 4 mana 5/5, with the same effect.

Then, the card. This card would never see use in any class that isn't doing poorly because our game is so well balanced, so... I think shamans deserve it more than rogue, paladin, priest and really any other class. So let's make this a shaman class card.

Now the rarity. I doubt this will ever see play in arena because, well, the randomness of its' effect is just TOO random to be consistent. So let's make it a com- no, let's make it a basic card.

Finally... you know what, the problem with master of evolution is that its stat line was jsut TOO weak, as I recall. So... I think if we bump its stats up to a 7/7 and, I guess give it overload 2, I think it would be good.

They probably think it's going to be a cornerstone of some wacky, zany control shaman deck.

Here's a hint: It's not.

This card will be used in midrange shaman to wipe out the last traces of resistance or any potential combo that your opponent might try to use. These cards will either replace Hex entirely or they will be used as two extra (and superior) copies of Hex that will turn your opponent's board of minions with synergy and interesting interactions into a pile of worthless garbage.

Oh, and I forgot to mention.

I dont get why people think de-evolve is hot shit.

The variance is too high.

Its only use is in removing high threat deathrattles, or trading

Your opponent couldend up with more taunt, or more deathrattles. Or even better minions if you are really unlucky

Midrange shaman already has enough tools to trade in their favour, they dont need or want this.
>>
>>160860309
Eater of Secrets was released right when secret paladin was heading to dumpster because of rotation.

An argument could be made that there needed to be some anti-secret neutral since Kezan Mystic was rotating out as well, but Kezan was typically better against other secret classes while Eater of Secrets was blatantly targeted at secret paladin, a dead deck in standard the moment Old Gods was released.

There are very few situations where this wouldn't be a solid play.
At worst, you can try and deny lethal in a losing game.

What's worse than the existing board?

Example 3.
>Enemy is playing Anyfin paladin
>They have two warleader on board

What could possibly go wrong?

Example 4.
>Enemy is Miracle Rogue
>played Auctioneer
>next turn played a bunch of spells, summoned a 16/16 Edwin and used Stealth
>You use Devolve
Well, you can guess the question, so answer it.

But that's just examples of the current meta. Lets move on to the future meta.
Enemy paladin is playing the goons deck and spent turns and turns to buff his weak minions. You devolve them.
Gee, I wonder what could be worse than 2 8/8 Argent Squires and a 9/9 lego they got.

Evolve subjected your minions to random chance and could transform your carefully chosen minions into just about anything.

Devolve does the same to your opponent, except they don't get the chance to build around their opponent playing Devolve - because there's no way to build around it while still having a successful deck. All they can do is try to bait out or play around Devolve while keeping their key minions off of the board and that won't be possible at high ranks.

This card's going to be cancer.
>>
>>160862151
Devolve still isn't shit against Jade. Just not great either.
A 8 mana 8/8 will devolve into a random 7 mana minion which most likely will not have such strong stats. That goes for every cost.
It's not great, but it's by no means shit.

Also Shaman has tools to deal with Jade decks currently. On top of that it is a class that can summons Jade Golems. So you have Jade Golems and fuck up the enemy Jade Golems.

Not as good, but wouldn't call it shit. I just hate it that it works excellent against basically every other deck in the game, including wild.
>>
>>160861698
Evolve get you shitty minions. Yes, they cost 1 more, but they are still shitty, and thats why evolve is not played.
But devolve gives shitty minions too. That also cost 1 less. Thats insane. Even original evolve would be ok to cast on opponents board to fuck up synergies/deathrattles/stealth, and this one is beyond crazy.

Is there some detail that got left out with Jade Idol?

If not, Druid can now stave off fatigue infinitely while also summoning bigger minions each turn. What the fuck is this?

>>160861905
You build your deck around evolve, you can't do the same around enemy's devolve.
You put in 0 mana 5/5, 0 mana 4/4, Pantry Spider, Brann, Barens, Arcanosmith (if you're me) and Dopplegangster in your deck. Those minions are weak or can have their mana cost reduced to get value. Then you evolve them and get guaranteed better minions.

You can't do the same with devolve. Lets say I put in those minions in since instead of the enemy turning my 1 3 mana minion into a 2 minion, I get actually 2 3 mana minions, so he turns them into 2 2 mana minions.

Yeah, sounds good on paper. But, what if the enemy just doesn't use devolve when I have those minions? Or what if the enemy isn't Shaman?

You literally can't play around devolve. Impossible to do it. Oh wait, there is counterspell. Wow.

>>160861805

1st i had stated as its good point you stupid fuck, no need to saythat again.

2nd point the only real change is to steakguy. If he runs bloodlust, youre fucked regardless. Considering hes relying on totem flood that is likely.

3. Again i stated that, more importantly, anyfin paladin is ameme deck that loses to shaman anyway.

Same applies to miracle rogue.

De-evolve will find a niche use, as a counter to specific decks. If those get seen a lot it will get seen a lot.

Otherwise its just redundant and a trading win more card, just like the buffs.
Why transform into slightly lesser (hex and poly is different since the change is large) when you can just destroy outright.

In arena this cards busted however since trading matters there much more.

COME. ON. HOW MUCH DICK SUCKING DOES SHAMAN NEED.
>>
>>160862872
I'm pretty sure it's just gonna be a tech card, devolve is really anti-tempo since you're not actually answering their board and spend 2pp just to sort of silence it all. It'll be great against nzoth and anyfin but I can't see it being a common inclusion.

yes

From what I've picked up, they're basically assistants that help organise itineraries/bookings on the digital athletics side or for promotion and sometimes manage the official forums/social media. That's it. They aren't CMs like in other games that are the branch between devs and community.
>>
>>160863072
But with coin, you can combine it with Lightning Strike on turn 4 and likely wipe out everything on the board. Against Zoo, you can do the same on turn 3 with Portal.

Mill is not fun for long and you cannot think that gang up helping mill happened on purpose.
>>
>>160863072
It's a card that also seals the deal against aggro reducing the enemies to be even smaller and get the cleared by your maelstrom portal.
Good against ongoing effects.
Completely shuts down any possibility of Goons decks being good (yeah, fantastic, 1/3rd of the expansion is outright unplayable thanks to this card).
Makes Miracle unplayable.
Fucks with other tribes except dragons since dragons are almost exclusively "if you have a dragon in hand" and not on field effects.

So yeah, "only" anti-tempo. And anti-everything else. But there is still Freeze Mage, so that's good.

Fine then, when I think about it, using those make the shuriken better SI agents. Still though, Devolve is INSANE bullshit, it's breaking the fabrics of my mind that they'd give Shaman MORE bullshit when he's already on top of the complaint list.

Holy shit, I seriously hope you leave humanity. That entire deck is centered around a single thing: piss people off.

>>160863057
at worst it's a dark peddler with stealth for 2. thats kinda bad, but with at least 1 other jade card it also gives +1/+1, more the more jade cards you play. Also curves directly into raptor and stealth means you WILL get the battlecry
>>
>>160863221
I can't see that as being that much better than just lightning storm+mael portal with the same amount of mana against zoo.

Against something like n'zoth, if you use it as a response to n'zoth you still need to answer a bunch of 4-7 cost followers.

Rather than use it against a full board, I'm thinking it's going to be a 3rd hex to really fuck over single targets like Sylvanas or Cairne or Warleaders.

I think it might make it into decks but it's not as ridiculous as people are making it sound. Shaman has way better cards than a shitty hex. Granted, hex is amazing so even a shitty hex is playable, but I'm pretty sure it'll just be tech rather than a staple.

Though control shaman might run it as a staple to combo with Elemental Destruction.

Trogg can be easily countered and was in a meta dominated by Dr7. It's not that trogg was bad, it's that there was even more retarded bullshit.
Variann is good on paper, but expensive and depending on how it goes it might be a waste of a card slot. Still best entry music so not a waste.

Devolve doesn't even need to be included. Just the existence alone prevents certain decks from existing.
N'Zoth gets popular? Put a devolve in your deck.
Rez Priest gets popular, on top of hex put in a devolve.
Goons become popular? Put in a devolve in your deck and all their minions lose the buffs.

The existence of the card limits what you can do.

The threat of minions are still there. This isnt hex or polymorph where the minions are completely useless.

It counters specific cards where the effect is absolutely needed, otherwise its a minor nuisance
The only cards in the meta that needs that is auctioneer, sylvannas, tirion, any tribes and cthun.
>>160863967
No no its not compared to killing those totems in the first place.
Lets assume 4 totems + steakguy.
You devolve. Best case scenario its a twilight summoner and the totems are all 1/1s

You turned 15 damage into 5, pretty good right?

Worst case.

Steak becomes grookfu, totems are 2/1s
Damage is from 15 to 14

Use 2 mana aoe instead
Damage is from 15 to 3, less minions to physically attack yours, so the idea of "less damage because theyre not totems" is redundant, because theyre dead.

Holy shit you're right. I hadn't thought about using staple shaman cards.

The point was that while yes, other AoEs might prove better, even in that situation it's at the very least a decent option that also has the added benefit of killing like three deck archetypes just by being there.

>Steak becomes grookfu, totems are 2/1s
>Totems are 2/1s
What's the 0 mana 2/1 card ? Totems are technically one mana minions.

What 2 mana AoE ? Portal ? The card that very obviously doesn't kill 0/2 totems ? And that doesn't deal with the Valiant at all ?

Name a 8-drop that frequently sees play other than Ragnaros.

>>160865219
No. Totems along with other tokens recently got buffed by 1 mana.

You have at least 2 other aoes to choose from that make de-evolve redundant.

The difference is will it replace hex? Probably, its good enough against auctioner so it might replace hex for that alone, but it certainly wont replace aoes anytime soon.

Right. Forgot about deathrattles, but you still have to deal with minions.

Also, killing a full health 7 and 5 drop is easier than killing a full health 8 and 6 drop.

>>160864573
Shaman has also an easy time filling the board up. It's not unusually for you to waste all your aoes and have Shaman still fill his board up. That's why it's such a dangerous class right now.
It has strong minions and on top of that you have to deal with everything the moment it's summoned, even if it's a 1/1 or 0/2. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. Suddenly it's not a 1/1 but a 3/1 or 4/1.

I don't know why you guys are so up in arms about the new shaman card.

We aimed for it to be played in evolve decks. Imagine the limitless possible interactions that happen when one player devolves the opponent's board, and the opponent answers by evolving his board back again. This is so much fun, trust me. We playtested this thoroughly.

We thought you hated what you mockingly dubbed "curvestone", and cards like Devolve will help to create completely fresh and interesting deck archetypes.

De-evolve fucks over anyone that relies on tribe, deathrattle or big stats with punishments for playing them.

I.e. shaman.

Druid and rogue can potentially discover de-evolve by lotus agents which lets you discover a card from each of those three classes.

Meaning de-evolve is the greatest card against shaman if rogue or druids are lucky enough to grab it.

If devolve makes it into meta decks in way its predicted in this thread, they will eventually nerf it to unplayable.
Make it more expensive, change effect to evolve or recombobulator.

>I devolved a Tirion and Cairne! I still have to deal with the remaining minions but at least I got rid of their deathrattle and they can't be summoned by N'Zoth, for 2 mana.

Devolve isn't removal, so stop thinking of it as removal. It's 2 mana to completely disrupt the theme and synergy of your opponent's deck. It gets rid of buffs, it gets rid of deathrattles, it gets rid of stealth, it gets rid of any property that a card might have and replaces it with something else that is entirely random.

The probability of going
>Oh man, I wish I didn't play Devolve just then, it really screwed me over with its RNG
is a one-in-a-thousand thing. It's a 2-mana spell used to ruin your opponent's strategy, it's not removal.

Why the fuck is devolve in this set? Beyond all the existing decks it counters, it destroys their whole buffing your hand mechanic they wanted to push with the goon cards. Were they worried that they'd be over powered?

>>160866713
I agree that it's not removal or aoe but that's why I question if it will be as staple as people are acting like

It's basically a shittier 3rd and 4th hex for the most part against most decks, though it does fuck over goons especially hard. I just don't know if that's enough to run it as a 2 of when Shaman lists are already full of ridiculous cards as it is.
>>
>>160866713
if you dont realize just how fucking broken devolve can be you are probably a retard that works for blizzard

its a 2 mana card that completely disrupts the opponents board, minions they added specifically to synergize with their deck

it makes clearing the board that much easier too, because generally speaking at worst it is still going to reduce the health of all enemy minions by 2, which is better than arcane explosion and maelstrom portal

Shaman is still going to run portals and storms
>>
>>160866793
Just to put things into perspective.
Devolve is potentially so powerful that I will possibly push standard Midrange Shaman to be a top tier deck in wild, with almost no change.

It counters any minion that isn't a pure vanilla or battlecry.

It's a board-wide shittier hex for 1 less mana that can target minions that you couldn't normally target.

Would you rather use both of your Hexes on Tirion and Cairne for 6 mana and 2 cards, or would you rather use one of two Devolves for 2 mana and 1 card?

>>160867149
I mean that's contingent on them having cairne and tirion out at the same time. Control decks typically and intentionally play one big threat at a time so you won't see that often.

I will say devolve does completely fuck over rogue stealth shenanigans but I can't see rogue being good post expac even if devolve didn't exist, jade lotus shit just doesn't fit the theme of rogue and how most of their good decks function anyway.

Why would you run two though ?
It's an amazing pick me up in case you lose the board to high value cards or are about to get VanCleef'd to death.
You can drop it and keep going with your turn, either to play some removal and equalize the board or to develop your own board, something shaman does better than anyone else right now.

You don't need two of these, one is quite enough to slow your opponent down and win the game.

That's contingent on them having more than one minion that has important synergy with the rest of their deck out at once. Even then, it's still worth it if it has just one important synergy minion out and a couple of less important tech minions as well.

At the very least, Devolve is going to be Hex 3-4 for some midrange decks.

I do see it as a possible one of, that's what I've been saying all along. It will be a 1-of tech if n'zoth, anyfin, goon or miracle become top tier. Possibly 2-of if the goon and rogue become top tier since it fucks them especially hard.

I just don't see the above happening is all, goon seems like crap to me and rogue and jade lotus won't mix well.

Only reasonable way to not kill the card outright is give it the Tinkmaster treatment, i.e. random minion into one that costs (1) less. It's still going to be quite retarded in a class that has everything, but will not fuck a bunch of decks outright.

It doesn't need to be a Flamestrike. It just needs to remove your hard earned buffs that you got for playing understated minions for turns.

Or in short, it's a 2 mana remove the Goon's win condition. On top of the buffs, it also deals with your divine shields and deathrattles and possibly gives you minions with worse base stats. All in one card.

It's not a removal. It's a mass disruption card that completely negates any and all strategy you might have on the board. It doesn't win games on its own, but that's why Shaman has strong and weak cheap AOE to seal the deal. And lets not forget the overstated minions.

After Jade Idol and Devolve, are Druid and Shaman going to be the top two classes for an entire cycle AGAIN?

Druid will crush every control deck - Priest with 0 burst damage will get run over by endless golems.

Shaman similarly will crush N'Zoth and all the new Grimy Goons stuff.

I'll laugh if this actually happens.

Well, those guys left Shaman run wild for months without doing anything. Greenlit Dr7, Dr5 and Dr477, then there was Yogg, Firelands portal being a common. Basically anything about arena.

Embrace the shadows velen smite is 10 mana 3 cards 20 damage. Get a little emperor discount going and suddenly you can easily go over 30.

Discount on just the mind blast for example, and thats 3 cards, 10 mana, 26 damage

Discount on 2 of the pieces and you can slide in any 1mana spell (or cheaper, like coin from burgly bully) and you easily clear 30

You barely ever have more than one big dragon on the board at a time.

For dragon decks, devolve will be little more than a worse version of Hex that costs 1 less. Besides, it doesn't matter because most dragons are played for the battlecries rather than their on-board effects, with Chillmaw and Ysera being key exceptions.

Well okay, Devolve might fuck with Dragon Priest's midgame and leave those Hexes free for the big dragons.

That's actually the biggest problem with Devolve for dragon decks. It allows midrange shamans to save Hex for those big dragons, rather than spending them on immediate threats. I guess I see your point.

So that's another issue with Devolve, it allows shaman players to be more selective with their Hexes.

Devolve will almost always be saved for mitigating midrange board clear. How many Standard minions at 5 or less mana demand to be Hexed?

>>160870360
It's not quite that bad. x2 Devolve and x2 Hex would be tough to construct around. The potential is noteworthy, nonetheless.
>>
>>160870841
It will either be saved for that or it will be used for ruining combos and synergy.

So standard Malygos Druid with Jade Idol will now be auto-win vs Control Warrior / Control Priest.

And standard Midrange Shaman with Devolve will now beat N'Zoth, Grimy Goons and other board synergy decks.

I really hope a month after release these are still the top two decks, just for the backlash Blizzard deserves for this.

HOLD RIGHT ON

So what happens in the scenario that you BOTH have this card, and you get to fatigue, and neither player has any other cards left nor on the field.

Would that be an infinite stalemate till one concedes?
>>
>>160871012

Barnes is always a gamble, but whenever he pulls a vanilla minion (like Boom) I always feel a little disappointed
>>
>>160871127
All any druid needs to do to beat Control Warrior/Priest is slot in one copy of Jade Idol. It's the ultimate anti-fatigue tech.
>>
>>160870962
There is so many uses for this card it's pretty ridiculous.

In the zoo matchup, imagine one of the best case scenarios for zoo:
>t1 pass vs. t1 flame imp
>t2 totem golem vs. t2 malchezaar's imp into soulfire into silverware golem discard
And instead of hero powering you devolve the zoo board into two wisps and a crazed alchemist for 2 mana.
>>
>>160871257
The winner is the player that summoned the most Jade Golems previously. That player will have the strongest Jade Golems and will be able to win.

Optimally, you would always choose the 'Summon a Jade Golem' option until you know you only have one copy of Jade Idol left. Then you use that Jade Idol to shuffle three more into your deck, use two to summon a Jade Golem and use the last one you draw to shuffle three more into your deck.
>>
>>160871257
Nope. Spaghetti code means both players just die after too many turns
>>
>>160871257
It depends, if one side is ahead on jade golem strength, that side will probably win. Otherwise, games might actually start hitting the turn limit.

I just thought about this.

Lets say both players start with 30 hp and 30 Jade Idols in their deck. A is first turn player, B is Second.

A: Gets a 1/1, 3 Cards in hand
B: Gets a 1/1 and coins a 2/2, 3 CiH
A: Trades 1/1s, Gets a 2/2 and 3/3, 2 CiH
B: Trades 2/2s, Gets a 4/4 and 5/5, 2 CiH
A: Trades both into 5/5, gets a 4/4, 5/5, and 6/6, 0 CiH
B: Trades 4/4 s, Gets a 6/6, 7/7, and 8/8, 0 CiH

At this point it gets more complicated because you start getting more possibilities for trades with hero powers etc. Anyone with weapons grade autism want to figure this out?

As a Hunter, I've drawn reasonably well I think against Warriors, but every time I ask myself what cards they could have drawn to win them the game, and the answer is there are no cards in their decks that would work. With 1 mana execute, I probably would have lost 5 or 6 of those games.

War Axe is ineffective, no time to armor up, no time to ghoul, Brawl does little to nothing and costs too much, Shield Slam is a brick, Execute costs too much and can't be activated easily, no time to play Justicar, Sylvanas, or Rag, no answer for my Highmane, Sylvanas or Rag, no answer for Barnes pulling anything good in a deck with secretkeeper being the only mediocre target. Throw in Cat Trick and Freezing Trap as instant win cards, and get more than 2 bow charges to also pretty much win.

Goon is tempo focus. If you run out of steam, you lose against 2 other factions.

Kabal is reno focus. Either you get Reno or you lose. Reno is rotating out soon so I don't see it staying relevant next year unless Blizzard print some one-off that is insanely good.

Jade is tempo+ control, the infamous tempo controller. The later the game goes, the harder it is to deal with Jade.

Judging from how Blizzard is slowly killing aggro and constantly trying to make control works, Jade will become more and more viable down the road. RIP aggro this expansion.

Simple thought experiment. Imagine this shaman card in huntertaker meta. 2 mana to completely nulify the strength of the deck, growing big minion and sticky deathrattles. Huntertaker would get fucked by new shaman card.

Now imagine this card against secret paladin in wild. 2 mana to remove buffs and the stickiness of his minions and deal with Boom and Tirion later. Will shaman be able now to break into the wild?

It fucks with stealth, Cthun, Nzoth, acolyte of pain/doomsayer in freeze mage and any slow combo pieces. On top of that it works almost like mass silence against walls of taunts.

It also hard counters every single card Paladin got this expansion.

Paladin is officially, completely, 100 percent a dead class as of this expansion because of this card.

>N'zoth Paladin is dead from Devolve removing deathrattles
>Anyfin Paladin is dead from Devolve removing murlocs

Not to mention that the cards Paladin got this expansion weren't even that good to begin with.

>>160880275
>Goon is tempo focus.
It's a faction that plays cards with shitty tempo first to increase the tempo of later plays. I don't see how this is aggro or tempo deck at all. Tempo decks like tempo mage and warrior are focused on big tempo swings, destroying enemy minions and improving your board at the same time through synergy. Only new hunter kodo can do that.

Just a deck idea I'm kicking around. Everyone keeps talking about goons being good for an aggro deck but the mechanic seems to reward control more.

Depending on how fast the meta is the eggs might want to be dropped for mistress of mixtures or the dopplegangsters for refreshment vendors.

I'm bad at HS so thoughts?

Not at all. Just give shaman Jade Golem cards with Overload to summon multiple Golems at once and done. Don't forget that each new Golem grows bigger. 4 mana Deal 4 damage anywhere and summon 1/1 is perfectly fine card but this 1/1 can be easily 2/2 or buff later Golems you play.

>>160882824
Zoo was out of the meta not so long ago after midrange shaman buffs in Kara. Now it makes a comeback thanks to druids and mages.
>>
>>160882842
>but the mechanic seems to reward control more.
It doesn't matter if the Cairne you played has +3, it's still going to get polymorphed. Low cost minions already have retarded stat value as it is.

is there even any point to playing any deck put zoolock or shaman on ladder? you will always have to play better and think harder than your opponent to even come close to winning ever.

>>160883062
my idea here was play 1 drops you'd usually want to play. The eggs is the only thing bad on its own, then filter with small time recruits and hand buff. Devolve is only limited to one class so I dont think its a huge concern compared to how strong a jade deck is looking.
>>
>>160883260
>yeah, just like chillwind yeti is a perfectly fine card
You compare fast spell card that can burn face with some value attached to slow minion card. That 4 mana spell is much stronger than yeti, especially now that shaman has multiple reasons to run spellpower minions.

That already exists as a tri-class card that's a 2/3 ya dingus.

you mean this piece of shit?
it isn't inspire
>>
>>160883806
I mean it's not a piece of shit if you think about it objectively.

Disregarding the value of increasing the value of your jade golem for turns afterward, it's safe to assume that you've played at least one jade golem card before you play this one, maybe even two.

So if you've played none - somehow, for a deck basing itself around jade golems - you get a 3/4. Not great. If you've played at least one card, you get a 4/5, which is okay. But I'm talking about this in a near complete vacuum.

Forgetting the fact that it gives you another turn of buffing the golems, say you've played two golem cards before this turn. You get a 5/6. Maybe you've played three cards - concievable considering that it's been three turns - you get a boulderfist ogre for four mana.

If you get it later on, who knows how big the jade golem you get off this card is. The bottom line is that it's playable early, and it's playable late.

Every other "better" alternative takes the "RNG means zero skill what so ever!!!" mantra to the next level, to the point where nothing at all matters other than tempo and top decking or you just completely lose.

Not only can RNG be exciting. but also creates and takes away plays depending on what happens. The whole "RNG is dumb I want le skill to matter" meme is retarded.

Guys, I'm scared. This expansion is looking to be the opposite of everything I enjoy in Hearthstone.

Goons just mindlessly flood the board, and can grow large enough to dodge strong AOE (e.g. Dopplegangster by itself needs +4/+4 total to threaten lethal while avoding the new 5 damage AOEs).

Jade puts every game on an inevitable clock, forcing you to race your opponent before they overwhelm you with free giants on every minion. You can no longer run your opponent out of threats by playing efficiently - you NEED burst damage to finish them off.

Kabal is the only decent one, where most of their cards are just standalone good and not some annoying gimmick that decides your whole deck while potentially breaking the meta.

Why can't we just have good standalone cards for every class? Even GvG only had like, 1-2 mechs per class and the rest were just good cards. Now some classes like Paladin have 90% of their kit dedicated to one gimmick.

To be honest I think RNG is important in even competitive games. Without any RNG whatsoever, games just become turbo Curvestone where whoever curves out better will almost always win, meaning a shit opening hand and shit drawing (also RNG elements) fuck you over, but you don't get a chance to get good RNG, with something like Flamewalker or any of the Shaman board clears, which can either save you, or make you lose even harder. When I'm playing Shadowverse for instance, every single game no matter the matchup feels like playing against midrange Shaman. Wow he curved perfectly and I don't have a board clear, I lose. Or, wow his curve sucks and I can threaten him enough where he feels like he has to trade his board away leading to my win.

To be fair, Hearthstone does have some super shitty implementation of some RNG effects, but for the most part, I like them and think they make the game better.

That may be true regarding the game itself, but when it comes to twitch viewers they'll be much more receptive to something else so long as Kripp is playing and it isn't boring as sin (which a lot of games like Faeria, PoE, and Diablo are on stream).

I would say that it's a lot easier to pull players from HS than WoW though. WoW anchored people with the community the players built within it, whereas Hearthstone barely has a community at all.

I think that's one of the big things with this, they never did a good job of directing traffic to it so it was really only those who were really engaged in the content that were aware of it. They should have gone with the way they promoted tgt cards by having you choose between 2 cards with 1 always guaranteed to be unveiled. It let devs lead in more hype with a wink wink on social media towards voting for a specific card and people would be incentivized to spread it to people in the hs community to help unlock the card they want.

It's a bit cynical to think that you can have people jump through hoops just to learn about a product that they can buy later. If the goal was tripled for a single MSOG pack, it would have already been met since people would actually campaign on websites and to their friends.

They don't even have to be super generous, just something like a single pack is enough. Most other games have figured this out, even the retardedly P2W ones.
