Update 7.1 Ranked Play Changes – Floors

Once a player hits Rank 15, 10, or 5, they will no longer be able to de-rank past that rank once it is achieved within a season, similar to the existing floors at Rank 20 and Legend.

Update 7.1 Balance Changes
With the upcoming update, we will be making balance changes to the following two cards:

Small-Time Buccaneer now has 1 Health (Down from 2)
Spirit Claws now costs 2 Mana (Up from 1)

First off, these nerfs were based on PREDICTIONS; not on testing of any kind.

I repeat, Team 5 admited that they "predicted" what results would come from nerfing certain cards INSTEAD of testing the nerfs. Pic related.
What the fuck they do all day if they can't even playtest nerfs?

But since we got them anyway, Buccaneer and Patches now get killed by:

>Mage, Druid and Rogue pings
>Arcane exploson
>Maelstrom portal
>Ravaging Ghoul
>Cruel Taskmaster
>Elven Archer and her Murloc clone
>Spirit Claws
>Patches

Im probably forgetting some other ping cards.
Is that good enough to discorage you from using the pirate engine?
Is this good enough to kill pure pirate warrior?

Nope, they are shit.
Even without the buff, at 1 mana you get the right value. With the buff it's just insane.
Now without the buff it's beyond shit, with it it's a Win Axe with 1 more durability as long as you have a spell power minion, which most likely won't happen for 3 turns so it's not good.

Patches doesn't have a thing wrong with him though. The problem was STB's oppressive state on the board and spiky statline. At 1HP he can easily get pinged away and makes the matchup between Shaman and Mage all the more lopsided in the Mage's favor.

Midrange shaman was the original reason of zoo's decline in the meta and in all likelihood, mid jade shaman is going to be the best deck post-nerfs.

The nerf to spirit claws will hurt its matchup vs. zoo, but I don't think it's enough for zoo to mount a comeback, unless jade druid starts ruling the meta maybe.

>>168335125
I've been saying Blizzard will fuck everything up with the nerf and I was correct.
It was pretty obvious that the only thing that's keeping the retarded power level of Jades in check is the fact that aggro is too fast.

Jade Druids were even fucking their own decks up by trying to tech against aggro. Without the need for that, they can just play a midrange version that's good against other midrange while also auto winning against control.

I admit I had fun in the LoE era.

Sure, it had its fair share of retarded and too strong decks like secret paladin and angry trees druid, but they weren't as overbearing as shaman starting with WOTOG and now pirates. Pretty much every class had a ladder-viable deck that wasn't a full-on smorc shit. Priest was probably the worst, but even then he could fuck non-removal decks like secret paladin with Velen'd Deathlord. And sure, the cards weren't too well designed altogether with some OP staples present in like 80% of the decks, but we're talking cards starting with 4-mana cards at the lowest, not shaman+pirate package that all run on 1-2 mana.

Some of the class cards were fucking retarded too, like the fucking Implosion, but hey, at least it couldn't hit face. If they printed a card like that now, it would be a shaman class card that could hit face and with less rng. Oh shit, they actually did and it's called Jade Lightning. But regardless, it was fighting broken with broken back then instead of fighting shaman with shaman.

I saw a bunch of idiots talking shit about kaz. Who in their right mind considers kaz OP? Best case scenario he gives a good board clear. Worst case scenario its fucking worthless.

As for reno deck consistency, you MAKE them consistent. Reno decks run multiple board clears/single target removal/etc. Of course, it would be better to run the best of everything, but thats opposite of the point. Reno allowed shitty/sub optimal cards to see play.

Most of the people bitching are aggro niggers who lost one game to a renolock who got lucky and played reno turn 6. The reality is, in a healthy meta, this wouldn't be the only fucking way to beat aggro. Likewise, aggro wouldn't just instantly lose.
Renos been around a long time, nodoby bitched before.
Once he rotates out you fuckers can have your "end game in 4 turns every time" meta.
>>
>>168340004
Those were the days.
>>
>>168340005
To be fair, Kazakus is an extremely above-average card that is basically the reason otherwise sub-optimal decks are viable. I'm not saying this is a problem (it's not), but it's basically the same reason people complain about Dr. Optapus. It's a card that's only balanced because the rest of the deck is shit.
>>
>>168340005
Best case scenario it clears a board of sticky deathrattle minions with great effects and builds up your board.
So basically the best case scenario it wins you the game.

Worst case scenario you summon a 3/3 for 4 mana and get some good spell.
>>
>>168340005
>renocucks still don't realize reno is the fucking reason we need aggro as fast as pirate warrior

no control deck holds a candle to reno
not a single one

>Best control
>It gets fucked by jades
Really makes me think

Obviously you've never used him. Draw, freeze, demons, armor are all pretty garbage in most scenarios. Polymorph and damage is the main relevance.
Its not remotely a win con, the spell you make has the strong potential to be fucking worthless. The insta win scenarios would be, say, polymorph an nzoth board. Nzoth is a powerful as shit 10 mana win con, I don't see anyone bitching about it. And thats GUARANTEED if you build the deck right. Kaz is a crap shoot.

Not that guy, but I do feel T5 should revisit Starving Buzzard since it got hit way too hard, especially since Unleash the Hounds also got the manacost bumped up. Even 3 mana Buzzard would be workable, but from 2 to 5 is absurd. Turn 5 is even where Hunter at his best has issues tapering off, generally starting to spam hero power and hope to topdeck Skill Command.

This is the first time that Adventure cards are craftable/dustable when they are nerfed. So I'm 100% sure you will be able to get a dust refund on it. It's just a question whether its worth it. It's just 2 commons you will never be able to pull, so I'm not going to dust them.

It's so freaking obvious that Blizzard isn't even try to not kill cards when they nerf them.

1 mana 1/1 Pirate
Gain +2 attack while you have a weapon equipped

1 mana 2/1 Pirate
Gain Charge while you have a weapon equipped

Now STB is just an objectively worse Southsea Deckhand.

If they wanted to get STB to 1 health, then they should have made him a 2/1 that gains +1 attack while you have a weapon. Same stats as Deckhand, same trigger, but different effect.

Eh, a 2/1 at least can hope to trade up with some 2 drops. Now it's a 1/1 that just summons Patches.

But yeah, either way it's bad.
1 drops are just hard to balance.
Maybe make it a 1/2 gain +1 while you have a weapon? So at best it's a 2/2, can still trade with some unplayed 2 drops, but generally can't trade with the most played.

Another problem why one drops are hard to balance is that they always compete with Trogg and Mana Wyrm in a slower meta. Just insane.

That'd make it a conditional Raven. The card was perfect as it was I think and like some others have pointed out: cheap aggro decks are what keep new/f2p players competitive. If you take those away you're left with all the 10k dust pay2win decks.
>>
>>168344130

OP here

you can tell i've played a ton of miracle rogue :^)
>>
>>168344219
Raven is a class card, STB isn't. Class cards are almost always better stated than neutral minions with a similar effect.
2nd, the condition was ridiculously easy to fullfill and it summons a 1/1 which is important.

On top of that, Pirate decks aren't cheap, at least not Shaman which is the good pirate deck. Rogue is even more expensive. No deck that requires 2 or more legendary cards is cheap or good for new player.

If you want a cheap but good deck that teaches player how to play the game, then Zoo is the one you're looking at, but Team 5 is a bunch of mongoloids that turned Zoo, which was a counter to Shaman into a deck that auto loses to Shaman and is now unplayable.

>Pirate decks aren't cheap,
A budget version of Pirate warrior is somewhere in the range of 1300-1400 dust, doesn't contain anything more expensive than rares and is 80% basic or classic cards which most players already have so the actual cost is something like half that.

Yes, you can make the deck better with Patches and Leeroy, but it's one of the best decks you can make by spending so little dust.

Agree on Zoo, but the game should have more than one viable budget deck.

Budget Pirates is shit. You will face full pirate decks over 50% of the times and you basically lose to the by default.

But I will admit that it's the best cheap deck you can get since the alternatives are Reno decks which run 4 and more Legendaries.

Thats not true anyways. Inherently all other control decks allow jades to build up out of control.
>>
>>168344689
The pirate synergy is a valid point so I guess 1/2 with only +1 attack bonus would be fair, but still the current nerf makes it unplayable so clearly they just want to send it to the graveyard.

>f2p shitters who joined yesterday don't deserve anything and aren't entitled to anything
Good goy, buy more packs. I've spent money on this game, but if paying is the only way to actually play the game then they should just pick a price for the game and every expansion rather than make it a gambling addiction exploiting pay2win piece of shit.

It was a literal 1 mana 3/2. Aka: A 1 cost 2 drop. Thats retarded as hell.
You guys talk about trading, bit who used stb to trade? It was all about face, and very often this freaking one drop gets 6-9 damage dealt, which is fucking crazy for a one drop. You virtually always jave to use higher cost removal cards on it, since you CANNOT let it sit on the board. So it always grts crazy value, even if its removed before it does any damage. Tell me how in the fuck that is fair?
They did the exact nerf I thought they should. At one health, it can be more easily dealt with. If it does stay up, it still has the crazy stopping power.
Bear in mind, this is also a neutral card. It should never have been stronger than class cards. That said, snowballing one drops like trogg and wyrm are fucking retarded.
I think good examples of balanced one drops are cards like abusive, argent squire, and the like. Make more practical cards like those, and fewer insane value/aggressive cards.

Jade druid would be exactly as guilty of it if it weren't for pirates who chase him off the ladder. It's a midrange deck that gets infinite value at a point where regular midrange decks top the curve, so how do you beat that.

Maybe dragon warrior could stand a chance because of how aggressive it could be with Rag, Grom, weapons and a bunch of chargers. Maybe hunter, too, for the same reasons, but idk really.

2x Revenge
2x Sleep With The Fishes

The guy that got to legend with aggro pally did it in ~10 days last year, meaning 10 days from setting up the account.

He got some free packs from Samsung Galaxy promotion, and he took advantage of arena matchmaking for noobs by playing arena for the first couple days, but he wasn't grinding for months or any of that shit. He did play for more than 8 hours a day though.

It's probably harder now since you need to grind up enough dust for Patches to play pirate warrior, but it's still possible if you have nothing else to do but grind Hearthstone with basic cards until you can play pirate warrior for legend. Is it reasonable, of course it's not because you are playing Hearthstone for longer than a couple quick games while on the shitter.
>>
>>168351415
>>168351520
Yes, I agree that the longer you spend on the game the better you will get at it.

What I have a problem with is that he was strictly talking about money spent.

I would say that spending money lets you have more FUN. Because you can craft good fun meme decks with weird uncommonly used cards and climb that way. It might even be slower, but its way better as a game.

>>168352225
N'Zoth package is kinda bad these days since it's mostly irrelevant in aggro matchups and gets shut down by Kazakus bullshit against control.

Run 1x Gorehowl, 2x Shield Block, 2x Bash to improve you matchups vs. aggro. Cruel Task is okay, too. Ooze is a must, Harrison should work but it's slow and the draw doesn't necessarily matter. Whirlwind is fine because it's cheap and activates a lot of your important shit.

Run Deathwing or Yogg vs. midrange/jade and control and pray it somehow works.

>>168352791
Who should I replace them with? I'm not that familiar with Warrior so I don't know what's best for this kind of deck.

I'll try Deathwing and then Yogg and make the other swaps. Don't have Harrison yet and nodust after crafting a second Fishes (that animation is so neat btw) so I'll use ooze. Thanks.

Most of them collected every free pack available throughout 3 years of the game. On top of that they DE their entire collection to craft 1 deck. Hardly viable for a real player.

But besides the point, I don't even know whats the most recent instance of someone doing that.

But are you seriously going to argue that top tier decks that are often pretty costly to craft if not completely inaccessible for f2p/newer players are easier to ladder with?

shield block and bash. 2nd brawl is also pretty useless, acolyte is probably better
>>
>>168353570
You can also try running Elise vs. control. An early monkey can win you some otherwise bad matchups like reno mage, especially if they keep drawing like an idiot to put themselves into fatigue faster.

Elise is pretty worthless in all other matchups, especially vs. midrange/jade since it doesn't really do anything there. Whereas deathwing can win you games if you survive long enough to exhaust their hard removal as they're typically not running many (2x hex, 1x mulch) and they're often forced to burn it on stuff like Grommash or even Alley Armorsmith because they can't put it down otherwise if you keep removing their board every turn.

You'll always lose vs. priest, but you probably know that.
>>
>>168354549
Oh god, I had a few Priest players drop 3 to 4 SEKRET AGENTS CUMMING THRU and snag my executes, Brawls and one even got Justicar. I'm guessing there's just no way to deal with Priest?

And Elise does sound good... If only because I got blasted by this one Mage that polymorphed all my threats then Ratted out my NZoth. And another one that used the Kaza potion to sheep my NZoth turn. Brann+Kaza value is tough to beat.

I'm just speaking from experience here, my dude. First time I reached rank 5 was with face hunter. It was debatably as autopilot as pirate warrior and only had 1 epic (snake trap) and 0 legendaries (I ran rocketeer instead of leeroy)
>>
>>168355298
Wasn't the last time face hunter was a top tier deck like 2015?

I'm not saying that there is no connection between skilled play. But even though the best players of the community got to legend during some opportune meta with cheap top tier decks, doesn't make it a general rule that this game is f2p accessible for anyone to just get to legend as a new f2p player.

Having to collect and a massive classic collection and 3 sets per year means that it would take at least 2 full years of skipping everything and just getting classic + saving up for the latest sets to get standard competitive like a 'regular' player.

It doesn't even make sense. It doesn't make it easier to ladder, it just keeps players at the ranks they are supposed to be. Cleaning up the lower brackets for lesser skilled or players with small collections.

I use her in a meme demon theme deck and it works okay in the joke ranks. Standard good demon cards, blast crystal potions, a void terror, street trickster (hilarious when you potion him for a 3/10 then either argus for a 4/11 with taunt that buffs Demonwrath/Hellfire/Felfire or feed to void terror for a 6/13). Brann for Crystalweaver and Argus value and Jaraxxus and Shambler (maybe Manipulator) so you can argus/copy Infernals. Close out with Doomguard/Soulfire or Infernal spam. Or toss in a Emperor for Leeroy/PO/Faceless wombo combo.

Ideally you'll play this in Wild for Mal'Ganis and Implosion but unfortunately I never pulled or crafted Mal.

I don't get it? If people get boosted to a floor rank via win streak you can feed on the shitters for free stars. Also the meta might get a little more variance since you can hit your floor rank skill level then experiment with janky decks with zero penalty. You get reset every 30 days and the hardest part of the grind is 5-legend, where there are no streaks so a legitimately rank 5 player isn't going to magically fly up to Legend without playing a billion matches.

Even IF the floor system... smehow.. in some capacity managed to let mediocre players hit Legend what does it matter? They'd never get enough points to do tournaments that matter and they're not affecting other Legend players besides being easy wins. Nobody is going to appear at Blizzcon that wasn't a good player because of the floor system.

Why would anyone be against it minus people who think grinding Legend every month like its a full time job is some super special snowflake accomplishment that'll become sullied with "bad" or "casual" players?

The only thing keeping you at rank 18 is your suckiness at the game. You should be able to take almost any deck to 15. This includes shit like Anyfin, Dragon Pally, Hunter anything, Burgle Rogue, etc. Jesus Christ make a Beast or Egg/Token Druid deck if you're too intelligent or noble or whatever garbage reason you have not to play Pirates or Jades.

I hope to god this is a meme because a bad player blaming the meta for not breaking 18 is just too fucking perfect. A Reno player whining that they can't break 18 is even worse because Reno is actually one of the "problematic" deck archetypes at the moment.

You might as well just buy lottery tickets if you think that not only will you build the best possible deck, but that RNG (draw) will be in your favor and there aren't a shit ton of rules that cause you to toss some cards that would be staple to your deck.

You could use your lottery winnings on magic cards and probably go 2 for 2 though if you love pushing your luck

That has nothing to do with that discussion though. Rank floors are a great thing, it will drastically reduce the amount of people in the wrong ladder bracket. Creating a more equal playing field.

It also makes the 20-5 grind more accessible, which is a good thing because the golden epic is a decent reward but not worth a big time investment.

However, arguing that basic decks even have a relevant chance against meta decks "Because of individual skill" is just being retarded.
>>
>>168363104
That image prooves nothing since that paladin hand is grossly overcosted.
I made a few new accounts to fuck around in arena and for play a friend quests. And guess what, I can still ladder with them if I stick to a strict curve of cheap minions, even with basic cards.

But yes in HS the basic cards are not much
>>
>>168363719
New accounts are temporarily only matched against new accounts. However the points you made have nothing to do with the discussion.

Which is that HS is presented as a fully f2p game with no advantage to people who spend money.

Technically it's correct, if you've been playing for 3 years now. Practically, no.
>>
>>168363913
>with no advantage to people who spend money
Where the fuck do they say that? Show me.

It was a discussion here about some anon talking about legend on f2p accounts. With the argument about money spent / card availability vs. attaining higher ranks more easily.

One argued that it offers some but no significant advantage, the other says that it has a significant impact. I agreed with the latter.

Okay, so STB was finally nerfed. Yay! But we do realize jade idol is the single most oppressive card in the meta, right? With aggro almost killed off, jade will rule everything won't it? You can't make a real control deck that can last until fatigue anymore because of the fear of running into infinite jade golems.

I'm going to predict that jade Idol will get nerfed in the next nerf cycle sometime in May. With Gadgetzan Auctioneer being another one of those cards that deserves to be hit because it limits design space.

Does Team 5 even play Hearthstone?

Did any of them ever try to build a fun deck only to be completely destroyed by a pirate whatever by turn 5? Did it really have to take them this long for just a couple of small nerfs?

I posed a screenshot from Reddit in the other general where someone asks if they tested if Jade Rogue and Druid will be too overwhelming with pirates and aggro shaman nerfed. Blizz guy said he PREDICTED they will be okay (and that they didn't test anything) and that the "decks do well depending on the meta"

They literally don't test shit. Their internal testing is prolly just brawls against other devs where everyone uses wacky cards like Worgen Greaser.
>>
>>168364885
Midrange jade shaman will run the meta.

Aside from this being bad because the year of shaman will continue, it will also keep decks like zoo or midrange hunter from bullying jade druid in absence/reduction of retarded pirate aggro, leading to a proliferation of jadecucks on ladder.

It will be a continuation of the current retarded meta, just a bit slower, so basically the equivalent of going from WOTOG to Karazhan meta.

I'm so close to only playing with friends now. They actually enabled quests being able to be completed in friend matches this week, probably to quell everyone's salt over the meta.

Right now if I take a fun offbeat deck to Casual or Wild I literally queue into the same Jade/Aggro/Pirate/Reno decks card for card. Tavern Brawl and Friendly Challenges are the only thing keeping me interested (and Brawls either get cheesed by Mage or Pirate Warrior if it's a build your own deck theme)

This was fun, but my friends would still netdeck to complete their quests.

>>168365414
Not just fatigue but pretty much all control decks while actually standing good against midrange if you build for that. The only reason Jade Druid was shit was because of aggro. It has a near 70% win rate against all the reno decks, who easily win against other control decks.

It's whenever they feel greedy and want all the retards who can't break rank 15 but think they're good because they watch <popular streamer> to open their wallets more so they can spend $10, go 2-3 and win two packs.

So they'll probably host another one soon to distract people from this godawful meta.

It was the "win as much as you can until you lose 3 times" like arena, but constructed decks, there were a lot of Midrange Shamans at the time, but I met like 3 or 4 Control Warriors and a single Zoolock.

>And how many wins did you need to make back your $10?
I think it was 7 wins, I'm not sure. The crazy rewards were around 10-12, it was really risky though, I only tried out because I already had 2k gold saved up.

That's still a bit weird that they have to buy packs for their personal accounts. I know Blizz is a megajew but wew. That's probably why they're so out of touch with the meta... the staff wouldn't ever play on their free time to get a feel for how unhealthy/unfun the game is becoming with missing cards outside of """"internal testing"""" time.

I don't know why they don't just hire some retired tournament level players who have all the cards and probably put more time and effort into learning the game inside out than their team. There's plenty of people who play as many hours as a full time job every week that they could choose from.

It's just REALLY fucking weird that their internal testers always claim XYZ is fun/good/just hasn't been discovered yet (unicorn priest, Blade Flurry/Deadly Fork "design space", "we printed Spirit Claws to help other classes", "shaman is okay because ONE top tier player that is a literal god at one particular deck perfectly teched his deck against it", etc.) while everyone else and their dog is drinking bleach over how terrible/busted/nonexistent XYZ is.

The only "good" c'thun list right now is the Aviana C'Kun druid and that's mighty expensive. Pirate warrior will probably still be quite playable after nerf anyway.

Really the only other somewhat viable deck that is comprised of mostly commons and one legendary like pirate warrior is Jade Druid and maybe a budget jade shaman

I know you're meming but I would actually want you (or someone) to go up to the WoW panel and ask this with a straight face.

They can't really dodge the question because it's related to lore they didn't elaborate upon too well (for obvious reasons), but at the same time they can't answer it because it's about dragon sex.

Nah, it has to be the HS panel. Make them pay for not working on the game by forcing Brode to answer an extremely loaded question that he probably knows nothing about.

Blizzard is working months ahead of us. They are likely currently planning things like the second expansion in 2017. They are playtesting things far in advance, so they might have interactions in mind that we don't. Imagine in the future, there is a different really OP deck that is not Shaman, but Spirit Claws can counter this theoretical OP deck. They might want to leave Spirit Claws un-nerfed to leave players with a tool to counter that deck. Game design is more complicated than just this is OP. (This is over-simplifying, but I think you get the point.)

Blizzard has statistics. You don't. Blizzard can access a multitude of statistics and percentages regarding this card for the full player base that we simply can't.

Blizzard is looking at these statistics and carefully analyzing these to come to conclusions about this card, and others in the shamans deck. It may be that the card has lower win-rates at higher ranks, implying that more skilled players play better against it. It may be that Shaman actually has a different card that is statistically more OP, and they want to nerf that, instead of Spirit Claws. There are is so much information we don't know, it's much harder for us to judge what is OP and not.

Thing is, you don't need a t1 or 2 Doomsayer snce you can just kill him with hero power or cheap spells.

What's depressing about this is that Shaman is the one that profits the most from this since now a 2 mana spell can kill every single 1 drop from Warrrior and summon a 1 drop for himself while still haveing Trogg and Totem Golem for his slightly slower early game.

Shaman can also still use pirates, not STB. Just Deckhand and Patches for nice Flametougne totem burst.

However the Spirit Claws nerf killed the card. We will have to see what's happening after that.

So everyone is sick to death of 2 things, Pirates and Shamans.
By nerfing STB all they've done is remove Rogue and pirate warrior while most shamans have already transitioned to Jade-midrange variants.

Oh and retards like a large chunk of """pro /hsg/ players""" who will not stop spouting "MUH OP CLASS". They will keep pretending shaman is good while maintaining a 55% wr

Okay so how do I deal with Jade Druid pulling this catastrophic bullshittery out of his ass by turn 9/10? It seems like if he gets an early Fandral/Shuffle/Cycle I'm just fucked. My deck only has one Brawl but I don't even know if two Brawls would help. Golems grew so fast that Revenge/Fishes wouldn't have removed shit.

I died before I could Deathwing but I doubt that would have changed anything besides prolonging lethal by one turn - he hadn't used Mulch yet and he generated and probably drew 5 more Idols while playing Solitaire with Auctioneer, Fandral and Jade Idol.

Do I just auto concede or something if I'm not in the lead by his cycle turn?

Ffuuuck. I tried aggro Warr a couple of times but while the games were fast... like stupid fast... it wasn't really my thing. I finally crafted a bunch of decent Legos and Epics so I'm trying to make Control and N'Zoth work (and N'Zoth/Goons pally but that isn't working so well)

Jade Idol seems like a really bad idea because the only thing keeping Druid in check is aggro, which will get a little weaker with the update. I'm kinda impressed that they managed to invalidate their newbie friendly archetype (C'Thun) and Control/Fatty archetype (N'Zoth, Y'Shaarj) within the same rotation. I dunno how they thought Idol was okay because w/ Fandral, playing a 1 mana 10/10 "summon an 11/11 and shuffle three 1 mana 'summon a 12/12' into your deck" seems a little oppressive.


Idol should really increase in cost if you choose to shuffle because having auctioneer live one turn then dropping Fandral on turn 7 with an unspent Innervate means you can shuffle up to 15 Idols and play 5 Golems for 5 mana. Lol.
>>
>>168411315

it's not just idol that's the problem, the jade mechanic itself cock blocks almost every control variant that exists and would otherwise exist if not for jade

the two things that would keep it in check are either getting nerfed(pirate) or aren't being enabled anymore(combo)

Yeah, the Jade stuff sounds cool on paper but in practice it's a nightmare.

This whole meta is nuts and suppresses a lot of formerly decent Tier 2 & Tier 3 archetypes. If your deck isn't 100% efficient and fine-tuned to pull 60+ damage, win on turn 5 or shit out 80/80 worth of minion stats within the first ten turns then you die to hyper aggro, lose value to Reno decks with 10 forms of removal & RNG card generation plus a health reset, or get annihilated by infinite 1 mana stat stick spam. And then there's Shaman. Rofl

this has been suggested before, I think the claim is legitimate when you nerf a card you're also nerfing the entire deck, a much more intrinsic example would be warsong commander.

Would be nice where I criticized the developer for not pandering to those people.

Either way, team shit created patches and the pirate package. People crafted it because it was objectively better than anything in the game. Now they are punishing people for playing the game the way Team shit intended it to be played.

Sure m8. The player is at fault. No wonder Team shit doesn't have to do anything for the game to survive when you can blame the player for everything.
I bet the people who used Dr.7 and prenerf Undertaker are also at fault, totally not Ben and his team of monkeys.

This is why I've been saying that getting a full dust refund on the classic cards that might be rotated out isn't enough. They can kill whole archtypes of decks and you get what? 100 to 1600 dust for it?

If they rotate Auctioneer, they killed Miracle Rogue, but you get only 200 dust while all your other Rogue cards are dead.

I don't know a better solution, but just the dust refund for a card isn't really good when other cards depend on it. Same as the Leper Gnome nerf. They nerfed a lego with it, but no dust refund. Sure, a shitty lego but it's still nerfed lego.
