And at worst, if Leeroy is buffed with, say, Cold Blood, it still turns a stealthed 10/2 into a random 4-drop (average of 3-4 attack at best).

>>161107627
Dunno anon. It doesn't seem bad.
It seems like a good way to force your enemy to play off curve and waste a removal. Play it on t4 after clearing enemy board and prevent the enemy from playing Azure Drake, which is probably the most popular t5. If the enemy does play Azure, he has no way to contest your reporter and she will be a 5/5 when he starts his next turn.

Obviously the cheaper version would be better since it would allow you to Reporter + Brann + Coldlight or Reporter + Coldlight/Shadowstep shenanigans. But I don't think it's bad. Okay, it's bad in the Shamanstone Shamans of Warcraft meta, but could be good.
>>
>>161107879
Could also become extremely relevant if Freeze mage becomes more than a spot on the meta.

Dropping this and killing their loothoarder or Acolyte guarantees it to becomes a 5/5 on their turn, so they have to either waste some better removal or deal some other way with it.

In blizzards mind being able to decide if you want to bounce or not is an advantage even though you would be just playing a fucking crocolisk with no beast tag if you play it without combo and wasting 2 cards on something you can do with one if you do want to bounce.

And this is assuming we forget the fact ROGUE HAS THE BEST FUCKING BOUNCERS IN THE GAME ALREADY.

>>161110059

I guess its just trying to create enough of an advantage through battlecrys and bouncing to have a decent board-state, then go face?

idk
>>
>>161109772

Its not a deck list but a mechanic.

The ided of a Bounce deck is to control by repeating certain strong effects over and over with the use of shadowstep, brewmasters and over various cards that do it.

Its honestly rogues true mechanic, but they never had any expansion minions that truly support it, as combo cannot interact with brann and rogue has no battlecry heal so they have to resort to neutrals to fill that role.

The problem is that rogue doesn't have very strong single target removal (that would be warrior). It does have top tier card draw though.

Also does this mean that card draw, life gain, strong aoe, strong activators and synergy, strong single target removal and strong weapons are warrior's identity?

Barnes is the stupidest card released in a while.

I bet Blizzard thought it would be used in wacky fun decks but in reality people just slap it in there because he is a like 2/8 chance of instantly winning the game if you highroll the summon.

There isn't really anything interesting about him, just slap him and pray you get Rag/Highmane/Cairne/Sylv/whatever.
>>
>>161110616
miracle is fine against shaman
>>
>>161110518
You're right. And thats probably the main problem: others have more.

If you look at the WoG expansion, Rogue gained a lot from it:
- Fine rigue cards
- Enough support to make C'thun work for Rogue
- Enough Deathrattle support to make N'Zoth work for Rogue.
- Yogg could be easily added to a miracle like deck.

It seems that this time, Rogue gianed the coin for miracle but also for combo at large, and now seems to have more bounce/stealth effects. If anything, the problem is that the other classes are doing too much and rogue can't shine without being specialized. Doing a "goodstuff" rogue deck (midrange) simply doesn't work for the class like the others.

Yeah, a lot of Burgle.

N'Zoth is great, but works better in other decks. C'Thun is bad and works better in other classes.
And yeah, lets add Yogg to a deck that is already retarded RNG intensive because having to rely on the perfect draw and your opponent having shit draw is totally okay if we add Yogg for the stories.

While will you actually remove in your Miracle deck to add the coin? It's a dead card if you don't draw your Auctioneer. Coins makes the deck even more draw dependent which is outright bad.

The problem is: what would you cut to play it? Mill rogue's kit needs to be pretty balanced between survival and consistency, and slotting this in feels like a dead play over direct removal, heavy draw, life gain, etc. If mill was going to play anything shown so far, it's the 1 mana 2/2 that gives health.

>C'Thun is bad and works better in other classes.
Yes I know, I just mean that Rogue got enough " support" to be able to play those 3 gods (unlike paladin for example, that has 0 C'thun support). I'm not saying its optimal, just that it's there.
>>
>>161111107
That is NOT removal.
It simply stalls for 1 turn, huge difference. You are not removing the threat. Its effectively a better ice lance or emergancy coolant.

>>161111217
>>161111126
Backstab and evis are great but let me elaborate rogues mid-late game removal is bad.

>>161111565

>>161111126
Well, I wouldn't really agree with the anon that they are crap, but I wouldn't also agree with the Blizzard guys statement.
Rogue has probably the biggest amount of playable single target removals, but not the best one.
That would still be Warrior, Priest and Shaman territory. Not many things come even close to Hex, Execute and Entombe.
On top of that, Warriors weapons are better single target removals than anything Rogue has to offer. Win Axe deals with everything you can throw early game, Gorehowl deals with many things late game.

the point of all the draw is to get huge hands to buff, and then dump, and then redraw and do it over again. if i had standard aggro cards instead of cards focusing around the new hold mechanic, it'd be a worse hunter

>>161111972
It's better to spend 3 mana to transform it to a 0/1 taunt.

It is.

What does rogue have in that department? Assasinate, Blade of cthun and in wild, sabotage. That is it.
You could argue that patient assasin counts but lets be realistic theres a reason no-one plays it and thats because its removal that gets removed itself by mere random pings.

All of these are so slow in todays meta that they rarely get seen, BoC only used because it buffs cthun as well.

Mage on the other hand has 3+ late game removal all at varying costs of mana
Shaman has 2 but are cheap.
Priest has 3 but are by far the most powerful.

>>161111673
>>161111972
you are misunderstanding what im saying. Sap is great at stalling a huge threat, possibly saving you in the game by making sure its effect cannot happen until later.
But that in function is not removal. Removal is eliminating the threat entirely, not just for that turn or stalling it until you can deal with it later.
The threat will always be there, you are just banking on that extra turn, that turn of it not being on the field to be of use.

Shaman is better at everything than every other class except when it comes stealing cards, but Devolve should fill that niche for people who want to make others ragequit and don't have enough priest cards.

Is this your key argument for rogue having crap single target removal
>>
>>161112753
removal is removing something from the board

sorry, you're wrong

naturalize is removal even though it gives twice as many cards

THAT CARD IS NEVER COMING BACK THEY ARE JUST USING "WE LIKE COMBO" AS AN EXCUSE NEVER TO GIVE ROGUE ANYTHING

>>161112795
Devolve is also a form of removal.

Hell how can you argue Rogue is a class with strong removal when unlike Shaman or Mage they have no transformation removal?
>>
>>161112830
Why would I ever claim naturalize is not removal? It permanently gets rid of a minion, of course it is.
Sap is a bounce card that forces it upon your opponents minions. I doubt you would count vanish as removal so why sap? Because its effective? That still doesnt make it removal.

>>161112959

Being 4th best at the game at something is actually a problem with the top 3 classes that should be worse either in this aspect, or in others.

I'd take a strong rogue weapon over a transform removal every time, better yet - just nerf the classes that are excellent at several things and at least good at all the others, instead of giving them more and more strong cards.

Anomalus is too situational and you don't want 8-mana situational cards.
Justicar in mage could be interesting, but arena is not a long-time value grind and a 6-mana body that trades down with 2-drops is bad.
Mimiron is just a 1-mana weaker yeti, which is weak, but acceptable. And since it's your first selection, you might be able to get the dream.

Does not remove it, the shaman will just play it later.

Its the exact reason why rogue is forced to play miracle and miracle only, because they best deck tries to cheat out an otk as quickly as possible, they are unable to truly remove big threats so early, only keep it locked down long enough for them to hopefully otk.

i am sorry my man, but if you can't acknowledge sap as the single best possible answer in the game, you are rank 25
>>
>>161114367
That's not because of their removal but because Rogue has no healing and Rogue minions are extremely high tempo but low value.

They can't play the value game at all so they have to tempo them out. But you wouldn't fix that giving them removal.

The real core problem is Preparation and 0 mana spells. As long as Prep exists Rogue can't really get value minions because of the insane swing turns they could get with it.

Ok /hsg/, lets humour blizzard for a moment

Lets say we wanna make a Rogue Bounce deck. 2 shadowstep, 2 vanish, 2 pandaran and 2 ancient brewmaster and 2 ferryman

What does this deck do?
How does it win?

Jade golem maybe? Brann + shadowcaster + edwin + questing adventurer shenanigans?
>>
>>161115809
context or link?
>>
>Blizzard wants Rogue to play Jade Golums by bouncing minions back and forth to the the most out of them
>the only card that summons golums with battlecry is the lego
>it's a 6 mana minion

How is the 2 mana conditional bounce gonna help there? You need even to waste a card before it. So you can play this shit the earliest on 8 mana. 9 or 10 if you don't have a free spell. Panda is objectively better for this. Shadowstep is infinitely better than both. Yet I don't feel like wasting a Shadowstep on that.

On top of all of that, you can't play Aya, bounce her back and play her again with nothing but a Shadowstep.

I would understand if they actually added something that seems actually feasible to do. But Aya being the only battlecry Jade minion for Rogue makes the bounce back strategy unplayable. Rogue doesn't have suitability of some control tempo game where you overwhelm the enemy with a bunch of strong golems after 10 turns.
What will Rogue play to get to that famous 8th turn where you can play the combo and summone a whole 2 golems and Aye.

I'm trying to actually imagine some Rogue deck that relies on bouncing back, but I can't. Mill wouldn't really get better with this instead of the young brewmaster who trades up compared to this new shit that can't even trade properly with some 2 mana cards, let alone trading up.
every other situation I can imagine is too slow and would need some mana reduction to happen during the bounce like with Shadowstep. And absolutely non of the situations work even remotely as good as with Shadowcaster which is MvP in those Shenanigans.

Bouncing back works only in two situations.
1. Good battlecry.
2. Good enough stats to trade well, bounce back, summon for more trading.
Rogue doesn't really have any of that. It has strong deathrattle, which obviously requires the minion to die and it has extremely tempo oriented minions that can't play the value game. Combo could work, but minions need to be cheap and powerful effects.
>>
>>161115809
>>You guys don't do enough with the statistics you have. There are cards that are overwhelmingly unbalanced that you need to balance. E.g. why does "Thing from below" have taunt?

>Shaman has had Hex since the beginning of (hearthstone) time without it being a huge problem. I think revisiting what Shaman is all about is a real concern though. It's easy as card designers to look at all the things a class doesn't have and shore up all of their weaknesses because that's 'new and fun!' but we have to be pretty careful about doing that. What should Shaman be good at? What should they be not so great at? I think single target removal should probably be a weakness, but it worries me to remove a high power level card from a relatively weak base set of cards when we just changed rockbiter. It isn't unreasonable to me to say Hex shouldn't be as powerful as it is, we just want to understand where that leaves Shaman a year from now first.
I can't believe how much he dodged the question. What the fuck, he didn't even try to mention Thing from below at all.
Holy shit.

Neither Edwin nor Question adventurer really work with the bounce back mechanic. They get their stats reset>
Well, Edwin could work if you do something like Edwin, Shadowstep him, Edwin, Shadowstep him, Edwin.
5 mana, 3 card 12/12 Edwin. But I think Shadowstep could be used in a better way. Going for ifinite Brann and Shadowcaster combo to get Xbox hueg Edwins is too slow. Adventurer doesn't work really with either one of those.

So you're back to the good old miracle. Which can't add those bounce back minions.

Honestly it all depends on the next 3 cards. If one of them is a cheap minion with a battecry that summons a Jade Golem, then it has a chance of working. Otherwise I don't see any use for the bounce back minion.
And he's not even good in arena since 2/3 and rare.

I think it's people just being outright insulted by that card and Blizzard actually trying to justify it as a good card. Worst of all, they aren't even doing a good job justifying ti. People call it objectively worse than Brewmaster and the best thing the Blizz rep could response is that "Well it's technically not ALWAYS objectively worse". For fucks sake, at least stand behind your freaking actions proud even if you fucked up hardcore. If you're going to justify the card as "not THAT bad" then you shouldn't have made it.

Paladin got some shit, but damn this card is just beyond shit in every front, usefulness and creativity.

Also a lot of people are still salty about WHO AM I? NON OF YOUR BUSINESS!

You faggots are stupid as fuck. The new rogue card was not intended to be used instead of the brewmaster, but to be used WITH the brewmaster. Having four brewmasters in your deck with the archetype they're pushing for would have been too OP, so they gave rogue a slightly weaker class clone instead.

I'm very curious, in these hypothetical situations people make up for "bounce" rogue, what exactly is the opponent doing? Because you're not exactly going to have infinite mana starting turn 1.

The Malygos/miracle lists barely even survive to turn 9/10 and those decks draw their entire deck and play every burn spell avaliable already.

I'd also predict that if ever midrange shaman falls down to new Priest or some combo shenanigans, they'd swap back to face shaman.

Rogue just needs one card like tia or roach in Shadowverse to make the bouncing archetype viable.

>>161117456
Wait, Aya Blackpaw or whatever isn't Rogue lego?
So rogue literally didn't get a single minion that would actually work with the bounce mechanic that they want to force? I know they have a deathrattle one that summons golems, but that's hardly useful with bouncing it back. Especially since it's a 1/1 so it can't even kill something and survive.

This just got even more hilarious.

You can't play it infinitely on its own. That's why you need Brann + Shadowcaster to get the infinitely 1 mana 1/1 rolling. Then you can get the infinite 1 1/1 lego going.
With Shadowstep you can do it 2 times.

No, Triclass, just confirmed. Ignore this.

>>
>>161117739
Yes, but we're talking about rogue-specific cards with battlecry.

So far, it seems like the 2/3 conditional-bounce card is good because its bounce is conditional, meaning you can play it as a vanilla 2/3 that doesn't even have a tribe, or you can play it a 2/3 bouncer to really bounce back those super-beneficial neutral cards that you want to play again for the same cost as before. It's so good it doesn't even need synergy with rogue cards because so far, there's no rogue battlecries in this expansion.

So in other words, it's trash.

>>161117837

You dont need emperor or anything like that for infinite combos

Play shadowcaster on brann, then bounce the shadowstep the shadowcaster.

Then 1 mana brann 3 mana shadowcaster into your second shadow caster

Now you can have infinite copies (1/1s at least) of any minion

Then either play it with the jade lotus lego (8 mana 3 card combo to create a 1/1 brann and shadowcaster and a 5/3 aya blackpaw + 2 golems) or you just play Aya on curve as you go along and can ressurect her with n'zoth, incase you have to play her for tempo

>>161117659

Still got a rogue common, rare and epic to reveal. Fingers crossed

>>161117765

But you get 2 golems out of Aya. I think you play the jade spirits in the deck as well anyway and use them if you need to, but ideally wanna use the infinite combo on the legendary

Realistically rogue being able to pop out 4 jade golems by turn 4 with double shuriken and double that mantid nigga, that means on average your t4 jade spirit should be pulling anything between a 3/3 golem to a 5/5 golem, which would be insane

>Who wins most of the time if the game goes long?
Depending on your deck composition as renolock. Typically, if your survive long enough to drop Jaraxxus without fear of immediate death to Bloodlust, you should win.

Key aspect for renolock is get your curve and your less expensive board clears as soon as possible, in addition to reno. Sacrificing tempo to drop an early giant or a big twilight drake is not a great idea because it will just get hexed and you won't live long enough to play your other big threats.

Thunder Bluff is a big threat due to renolock's removal not really lining up well with this card. Spellbreaker works fine, otherwise a big board clear like Twisting Nether or Shadowflame.

Big cards are a problem if shaman gets them out fast, but 477 is not played very often in midrange lists these days, so you can keep your Siphon Soul and BGH for Rag.

You can avoid Sylvanas getting hexed if you PO+Shadowflame it, obviously. It's also a good way of 100% Rag steal even without the need for Shadowflame, provided you can isolate him on the board.

Soggoth is such a fun and good card in this matchup, like every other shaman shitter tries to click hex on it. Even better if you faceless manip it. The caveat is you need to stabilize enough to play it.

what if you used the ferryman or brewmaster with goya to get big threats on the board, like anubarak? or even get that N'zoth early and then shadowstep him to get him in your hand in time for turn 10?
maybe finding that 1 minion to bounce back multiple times is the wrong approach, maybe we should be thinking of minions to bounce back for hand and board control
>>
desu the ferryman should have been some dank shit like whenever you play the coin, summon a 1-drop from your deck.

but instead we got Brewmaster 2: electric boogaloo

I played 3 years of ygo and pokemon when I was a kid but then moved to MTG and have been playing since then (5 years)

There's nothing wrong with fucking bad cards, but in mtg for example cards rotate out

What's the point of the new ooze and the new brewmaster if they are evergreen in standard? Also, the like C'thun, the Jaded lotus mechanic is parasitic as fuck since you have to play cards that only interact with themselves and leave few to none input of the player while deckbuilding

Also, HS has an amazing room for design space but Team 5 plays too safe and just tries to do the same cards but with a little stronger stats for a little more mana

Aside from Pokemon, which is awful, at least YGO and MTG try new stuff once in a while while HS continues to do the same stuff over and over

Pokemon is pretty bad but that's more due to the type match up and how fucking broken support cards are. You can legit mill your entire deck by like turn 3 or 4 with sky field+Shaymin and the right draw

Yeah, I saw some recent matches when there was a world championship going on twitch and the game is pretty bad right now

Also, since the game has been running out of design space for years, the powercreep is pretty dumb "Just print cards with bigger numbers"

At least the collecting part is cool and some cards have pretty dope art

Stop playing until the expansion hits

>>161122948
Power creep has gone down numberswise but there is(was? Idk about the meta nowadays) a deck that was essentially tier 0. It relied around discarding all of your shit to build a massive graveyard of pokemon with the attack called Night March.

It was mostly used by pokemon with like 30 HP but it did absurd amounts of damage once you set it up. It did something like 20 x the amount of night marchers in your discard. A 30 hp joltik could OTK a Mega Mewtwo with 220hp.

Yeah that's Shaymin EX. It's required in every single meta deck. Basically you would vomit your pokemon onto your bench and this would give you guaranteed draw every turn. The card was like 70 bucks a copy because of this.

I stopped playing so I don't know but apparently its fixed now. The world championship was pretty dumb but the finals was interesting since it was won with a mill deck.

I don't know, this one seems like the card to really push the Golem Shaman over the edge. This is damned good weapon. Obviously Spirit Claws is more aggresive, but Jade Golems aren't about that.

What with its 4 mana 4 damage spell and its taunt minion? You would be trading out the deck that has literally no bad matchups for a deck completely built around the situational that you are pumping golems each turn.

blade flurry will never be viable, but it was the thought the point of the fucking nerf would be to give rogue good weapons, of which all have gone to shaman.

Because thats not what they are saying

>>
>>161129929
You are banking on understatted minions and bouncing the same leggo back and forth hoping that N'zoth will do anything while you are intentionally detempoing yourself for epic jade golem memes.

Its going to get flat out run over by any aggressive deck, and they've even printed the best anti-N'zoth deck in the game for shamans of all classes. Plus the damn kabal has a million board clears so good luck with that.
>>
>>161130094
What did you think I meant by the words I said?

>>161129854
It's because they nerfed blade flurry claiming that it was a problem because it limited design space for good weapons.
Like they were blaming the fact that poisoned blade was shit on bladeflurry.

It's true that weapons would be worthless to rogue now though, rogues can barely afford to use their hero power with no healing whatsoever.

Rogue would ideally bounce spam, thus the new Brew in expansion. Raptor can copy the current 3 Jade Deathrattle minions she would play. I wouldn't be surprised, but it's speculative, that a sort of return to hand support(ie. 'cards returned to your hand cost (1) this turn') will emerge for Rogue. Jade Rogue will look to be an early game flood with low statted minions that will get bounced back in forth later in the game with the Golems themselves creating the lategame presence.

>>161132451
I see Jade on the art so It's nothing to keep your hopes up on.
>>
>>161132653
That sounds cool, and also very ineffective if you want to win a game. I guess if you actually manage to snowball the golems it will be decent, but I don't see how that would work correctly if you have to manage your minions to bounce and hope your opponent doesn't wipe your board once or merely deal with the golems and kill you before you manage to do anything worthwhile on the board.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's certainly something that will have to be well built. Focus solely on the Golem aspect and I doubt it will hold up well enough in the early game, but focus too much on a solid low-curve Zoo and your Golems won't build fast enough. Right now T2Jade Swarmer into T3 Raptor gives me the most hope of it providing some potential.

>>
>>161133052
Alright, think for one second you dim witted man. Burnbristle benefits because his lifelink ability is dependent on his attack stat and Knuckles' psuedo-trample effect is also boosted by his attack stat. So, although the cards are not like the Don in that they do not give stats to cards in your hand, they are a hyper-sygnergy with the Goons.
>>
>>161133052
No, I said they benefit FROM hand buffs. Of course every minion is better with more stats, but their effects are much better when buffed.
Harambe can kill bigger taunts while hitting face harder.
Blackbeard can restore more health on dealing damage.

Are you high?

So you play a bunch of low stated cards the build up buffs in your hand, then you blow your load and play the buffed minions you were holding.

Then your opponent deals with them and you are left with nothing.

It's like having sex and blowing your load early then not having the stamina to keep going. All you get is disappointment and loneliness.

Handbuff Paladin WILL be a meme tier deck that barely ever wins any games, I guarantee it.

You're pretty retarded if you think you're going to have a hand left of buffed minions if you are dropping a 5/5 argent squire. You're going to be flattened by any tempo deck as you drop horribly understatted minions to buff your hand, then they'll throw a single removal at the card you've been buffing and you are sitting there top-decking 2/2's that buff other cards for 2 and the like.

So after getting Legend I decided I'm too good for Ranked and I'm now an arena player. What would you pick here? (Heartharena not allowed)

I'm thinking Majordom so I can combination him with a silence like a spellbreaker or something brb getting some celebration pizza
>>
>>161135118
This.

Assuming you're playing a minion every turn leading up to playing the minions you've been buffing. The MAXIMUM amount of minions you would have in your hand would be 4 and even that is assuming that you didn't draw any spells and even then only 3 of these minions would actually be buffed. Let's keep in mind that paladin doesn't exactly have a great amount of card draw unless you vomited your hand onto the board during the turn in which case any hand buffs you used have all been laid out on the board for a nice, easy board clear.

The only feasible way of playing the deck is to build it out of almost exclusively 1 mana minions and minimal spells then run Small Time Recruits to draw them into your hand so you can buff them.

This deck would require you to basically skip your first 3 turns in order to set up your hand so you can start buffing efficiently. In which scenario many decks will have already built an insurmountable lead over you and will proceed to run your buffed minions over by simply playing on curve.

>silencing your ancient watchers and eerie statues is a super fun concept to a ton of people
Except it fucking isn't.

Silencing a watcher gets you a 4/5 minion for 4 mana so basically you get pic related if you're lucky enough do draw both cards when you need them and that's fucking bullshit. Same thing with the statues, you get a Boulderfist Ogre with an extra point of attack.

If they had made purify cost 1 mana then it'd be worthwhile and you could get some value out of it, but at this point you're still better off using Defender of Argus or Sunfury Protector to much greater effect. The frustrating thing is that they actually released a lot of interesting cards with Karazhan that you can build fun decks around like Moat Lurker.

But why did they make it when Brewmaster existed? AT least Purify was unique in that it cycled and made your ancient watcher attack. We had Silence and PWS before, but the Purify was a combination of them. This is jsut the same card at the same mana cost.

Will they ever not tell bullshit and admit that they keep fucking up ? This is the same tripe they serve every time people bitch about the awful designs.
So ferryman is shit, and they know it, but they still went with it, and they're still pushing the "purify is fun and people love it" lie ? Players don't ask for overpowered, tournament worthy cards, they just want something playable. But that's already too much to ask to Team 5. This card is literally a brewmaster, there's nothing more to it. And it's a class card, and it's a rare.

The good thing is I can drop this game forever.
>>
>>161135762

I was aiming for them to be playable. The problem is that the vast majority of cards in hearthstone arent usable. So i wanted them to be more impactful than what they currently are.

Some of them may seem somewhat bland or toned down or not buffed enough, but I want them to be at least be an option in arena as a bare minimum.

I would like to go nuts with every card but then the game would be more of shitfest than it already is.

thanks for the feedback though, ill probably look into making them stand out more at a later date.

there needs be a drawback for playing them though. Fandral either needs to have worse stats or cost more and flamewanker needs the same treatment.

these cards should be powerful true enough but I don't think they should be 99% game winning as soon as you play them.

obviously the problem is nerfing something into non-existence. Which I've tried to avoid. Or giving the card a different twist to make it not such a brain dead play.

Feral Rage, Bite, Savagery - Armor = Warrior Niche Feral Druid is some artifact from the original card game but since not much of this game copies that why even bother?
Druid roles: Low Healing, Buffing, Ramping, Beasts (shared with Hunter) and Combo

>Hunter
Carrion Grub, Stablemaster, Houndmaster, Core Rager, - eliminate the whole idea of buffing beasts and focus more on brutal spells, bigass beasts, and deathrattle synergies.

>Mage
Problem is its a perfect class. I would like to try a new mechanic to represent fire, a "tick" mechanic where spells do DoT damage over time, with a weak opening damage but high long term damage.

>Paladin
Divine Favor, Aldor Peacekeeper, Hammer of Wrath, Holy Wrath, Avenging Wrath

DF is broken again during Gadgetzan, AP is FIVE annoying cards and KoU is perfectly balanced. Take out the Paladin direct damage cards, let other classes do direct damage.
Roles = Buffing, Weapons, Heals, Weenies, Control

>Priest
Museum Curator (moved to general), Thoughtsteal, Mind Vision, Shifting Shade

Priest needs to allow Rogue to be the Thief Class. Deathrattles make no sense for the Priest class and were a bad decision from Naxx almost purged by now.
Priest role: Heals, Card Manipulation (changing stats), Discover your opponents plans, Dragons, Mind Control, Spell Damage

Rogue = Weapons, Stealing Opponents Cards, Miracles and Board Manipulation by bouncing back and forth, Disgusting Combos, Stealth,

>Shaman
Just get rid of anything that doesn't have Overload, Totems, or Windfury. All cards serve to make these mechanics fun and challenging. Remove Hex it is too much vs. control.

>Warlock
Just needs more cards really. Some of the demons and spells are filler.

>Warrior
Way too many spells and removals. Get rid of
SS, HS, Revenge, Bash, Mortal Strike, make Ancient Shieldbearer a deathrattle, Brawl a lego.

Priest should get discard effect and hand reveal. Would be on theme and offer some much needed disruption for the early game.

Mage could get more counterspell-like effect as-well for similar reason, and I guess Rogue more aggressive bounce.

Cmon blizzard, give us REAL control tools.

On second thought I could just go ahead and swap out Promoter & Chemist then rename their tiers into Greet Tier & Elf Tier respectively. Orc musclegirl with pink hair beats generic hooded Elf.

Does this only let you target minions that currently have Stealth?

Or would it work if I unstealth a minion to attack, then try to target it?

(e.g. if you top deck this after your tiger already attacked)

Definitely the former. It can probably also buff anything stealthed by Conceal and Master of Disguise.

Seems like those are only worthwhile if you get both the gang and the class legendary otherwise you're screwing yourself for nothing, especially since Reno's rotating out soon.

The big issue is that while the Goons & Lotus got an actual mechanic, Kabal only got a gimmick instead. It's a damn shame too because I really love them thematically, but there's no actual gameplay behind it.
>>
>>161138598
Design Space was a reason they included to soften the blow. They really just felt like rogue should not be able to deal AoE damage as part of its class identity.

The problem is that Rogue's class identity is high tempo, draw, combo, and burst damage, things they find problematic in the game and won't allow to be in a tier one deck.

Look at the way Miracle had been nerfed so many times compared to the slap on the wrist of Midrange Shaman.
>>
>>161139689
I think the worst part is, since Reno is rotating, they'll probably push Highlander decks again with the next expansion as well cause Reno is literally the only thing making them work right now and Kaazakus doens't have anywhere near the value.

No, the worst part is Blizzard's retarded designers will refuse to print another healing card on the same power level as Reno because of their new obsession with "class identity". They've already come out and said Healbot was a "mistake".

They literally think slow decks like Renolock/Reno-mage can work without healing. Iksar said recently:

>I wish N'Zoth and C'Thun rogue would have caught on a bit more than they did, but the way the meta played out it didn't leave much room for decks in that space.

As if there's ever been a meta where N'Zoth/C'Thun Rogue could work with no heals.

So look forward to a future quote: "I wish Renolock and Reno-mage stayed popular when Reno rotated out, but the way the meta played out it didn't leave much room for decks in that space".
>>
>>161109005

I think you are looking through a strong confirmation bias. Actually, hearthpwn and reddit is shitting on Blizzard as much as they did with Purify - just less memes created this time.

Also, one of the devs already has gone out of his way to defend the card, meaning that blizzard is feeling the heat.

Ok, ignoring the stupid extra space before the dot, why is Boogie Monster literally a worse version of Gruul?

Even if you attacked and killed a minion every single turn, Gruul still grows as fast and has higher stats.

(It was also printed post BGH nerf, so that's not a valid reason.)

Yup. Dodge all the questions, express that you would like to do something about the situations, but it is "really hard and really complicated" so you will wait 2 more years, give non-answers. Blizzdrons are satisfied.

They've decided Healbot was a mistake, they don't want strong neutral healing.

Which I actually respect. Classes need to have strong identity and there shouldn't be neutral cards that shore up their weaknesses too easily.

The problem is that in Magic, color identity is balanced by colors being able to do some off-color things albeit inefficiently, and by the fact that pretty much every deck runs two colors.

In Hearthstone, Rogue doesn't have a neutral heal to fall back on, but they don't have any other damage mitigation of their own to play with either in that design space.

Blue is the color for card draw in Magic, but Red can draw by revealing the top card of their deck and either playing immediately or discarding. Or by discarding a card first to draw to cycle through the deck. Rogue can't heal and can't use taunt and can't avoid damage and dies to face.
