Hearthstone

Those are fake, look at the golden lotus caretaker at the bottom.

Just played a dragon priest with curator, acolyte, elise, justicar, double entomb, technician, and dr boom. Of course I lost to this unbelievable trash.

My Dragon Priest runs Curator and Brann.

My dragon priest runs double entomb, paletress, and boom. But to run ALL of that shit in one dragon priest deck? It's ridiculous.

In that game, yeah. But to thin your dragons out that much with random crap with a deck that already has consistency issues? It's retarded.

Lots of Control Warrior around rank 10 today. Pretty weird

I'm sad Paladin is getting slaughtered. I really enjoy playing Midrange

I played 6 priests in a row at rank 15/14 knocking off a couple dailies. Was weird.

Only seen one renolock the last couple of days, decide to switch to hunter because I'm about 25 wins from golden and like 5/7 matches were renolock, this was around ~11.

But are they? Really we have no clue how things are going to shake out.

They may try to stuff some viscera back in with Whispers, but there is really no question that the loss of Naxx, GvG, and Murk-Eye is gutting the class. Paladin wasn't even really considered ladder viable until GvG introduced midrange with minibot, muster, and quartermaster (and some solid neutral stuff to support it). Right now the viability of paladin is mainly predicated on their ability to get ahead in the early game and stay ahead with resilient creatures and/or secrets that inhibit efficient trading. Most of the strength of their early game rests on the back of minibot and muster, no neutral cards come anywhere close to them in power level.

If they don't print at least one high powered early game card or some kind of mass removal more efficient than equality, paladin is almost certainly going back to it's pre-GvG state of having zero ladder presence.

Healadins were okay for awhile, it's just that the meta sped up so much and was so resistant to clears that Paladin could only work as a midrange deck. Their hero power is the strongest in the late game, so in a control meta (unlikely), they could be pretty good.

In a vacuum Paladin is going to be absolutely gutted. We don't know what Whispers is going to offer them but I really doubt it's going to be enough to offset everything they're losing. A mid-range Paladin might be passable like it was in Classic but it's doubtful that it's going to be a Tier 1 or even a Tier 2 deck.

The funny thing is that Secret Paladin considered the best Paladin deck right now but, in my opinion, it's not great in this Meta. This meta was designed around countering Secret Paladin so you have a ton of 50/50 match ups. Secret Paladin can win against any deck (especially with a good curve) but they can also lose against any deck (draw all your big threats early or nothing but secrets early). At rank 10 I see a LOT of Zoo Lock (Tempostorm says that Zoo is slightly favored), Combo Druid (A 50/50) and Tempo Mage (another 50/50).

Yep I just want to know when the expansion is coming out and see some previews.

Late April / early May. Fuck my life...
