    Changing blade flurry to minion only would have sufficed. They didn't need to double the mana cost on top of that. Koyuki mentioned something in his stream that I agreed with, it's actually a triple nerf if you count each point of casting cost increase as a separate nerf, which you really...

    I'm guessing standard Renolock will be running Jaraxxus on top of Leeroy combo too, gives you a much better win condition against warriors, and with a presumably slower meta you can afford to be greedy. Wonder how many warriors will be running frost giant burst as their finisher. It's terrible...

    Freeze mage is in a precarious position in standard. Yeah, they haven't lost much, but what they did lose is a pretty big deal. Losing mad scientist means you're not only missing out on deck thinning, you also have to actually pay the mana cost to play your secrets, which will slow down your...

    Speaking of mods, I have an infantry irregular (lucubrations infantry mod) with over 100% crit chance on flanked targets. The irregular colonel perk is fire for effect, which is a 4 turn cooldown aoe rifle shot, about the size of a normal thrown grenade. The irregular major perk, escape and...

    Might be slowing down too much, although I guess that's a welcome change from the balls to the wall meta we've had for so long now. I predict Reno being pretty dominant in both standard and wild with druid getting gutted so hard.

    Hearthstone

    You are significantly weakening almost all of your matchups to try and improve a single unfavorable matchup, a matchup that will still be unfavorable even with that change. If you're running into a lot of druids, just play something else. Druid will always be heavily favored against Reno.

    Heh. I mean, it's a solid card that didn't fit into the existing playstyle of druid, but going forward, I think they're going to need that silver bullet removal. So by post-nerf standards, it will be a good card, not just a playable one.

    I mean I could see an argument for continuing to run 1, but absolutely no way would you run 2 now that it's a 4/2 for 5.

    I'm getting 7160 dust from disenchanting everything. oh baby. Speculating about standard, zoo isn't really losing their burst, they can still blast you with 13 from hand if they have a minion on the board. Although with all the deathrattles rotating out, who knows if they'll still be favorable...

    About the only nerf I have a serious problem with is blade flurry. Why the fuck would you double the casting cost AND make it only hit minions? Fucking retards. Holy shit druid is getting assfucked. I'm about to get a fuckload of dust from disenchanting all of that shit. I think the only thing I...

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Just got sacrificial pact from Saraad against a Renolock, but he was a fucking dumbass and overdrew his Jaraxxus because he wasn't paying attention to his hand size. Jimmies set to maximum rustle :-/

    The primary mission was definitely to save the ethereals. I mean yeah apparently there's something worse out there, but if the ethereals die it's game over no matter what.

    Unless gamepedia is missing a bunch of new cards, there have been 4 neutrals and 3 class cards spoiled so far. 7 cards out of a 134 card set sure is way too many. Anyway, I love me some reno priest.

    XCOM 2

    I've generally been under the impression that they aren't an empire, they're a single large group that moves from civilization to civilization trying to find the key to saving the ethereals. At least the new EW/EU continuity, obviously the aliens in the original and apocalypse were an empire.

    I call them avatars because it's quicker than saying 'living incarnations of the force'. That's pretty much literally what they are though, in the dungeons and dragons sense of the word.

    It doesn't definitively show her as more powerful as Ren. It shows her as strong enough to hold off his first attempt to force his way into his mind, and it shows her winning a fight against an already badly wounded Ren who, moments ago, had trouble beating a lightsaber wielding stormtrooper...

    Yeah dude, I played a dragon priest earlier who had to be salty as fuck. I was staring down lethal with an empty board and no removal in hand. Hail mary power word shield on his wyrmrest agent gets me reno, and I eventually go on to beat him in fatigue. Priest really can manage some epic comebacks.

    Maybe, except if it goes really late, monkey turns shitty saraad spells into shitty random legendaries. But yeah, Reno is generally shit against druid.

    It's not just the 3 damage, it's also the extra mind spike the turn you cast the second shadowform. Hell, I just finished a mirror match of all things, and the turn after he didn't have an answer for my garrison commander I went hero for 2, shadowform, hero for 3, hero for 3. Was pretty epic.

    People vastly overestimate the danger of running doubles in a reno deck. Now since priest doesn't exactly have a good draw engine, I wouldn't run more than one duplicate card, but I've only gotten screwed once. I mean the conditions for it are pretty narrow, you have to draw into Reno early, not...

    I opened a second shadowform from a spectator pack this morning and I've been wanting to try Reno priest forever. It's pretty fun. *edit* I've actually beaten two separate renolocks by fatigue even through jaraxxus. one guy even had time to burn through every single weapon charge.

    Haha just beat a tempo mage who duplicated Antonidas twice with Reno priest. Would have lost to the first one he cast if it wasn't for topdecking a lightbomb, then two turns later I got Krush from Paletress.

    You're remembering wrong. It was unleashing the mass shadow generators on Malachor V that created the wound in the force, Surik severed her connection to the force to protect her from the backlash. Part of that wound was reflected through Surik, which is what freaked out the surviving masters to...

    The only reason pally was rarely used was because it got destroyed by patron. Midrange pal was top tier for the majority of the period between the warsong nerf and the release of LoE, and still has a favorable matchup vs secret pally, it just matches up very poorly with the rest of the meta...

    Dr 6 isn't broken, the reason secret paladin is so good is because they're able to put down sticky threats turn after turn leading up to the challenger turn, then potentially even following that up with boom and/or tirion.
