Hearthstone

But its also a reno deck! (I do have a gorehowl in it, and would still run a gorehowl.)

It's so nice having deck slots. Got a shitty Rogue quest today and used those extra deck slots with a Malygos Rogue sitting in them to knock it out. Thank fuck for not having to delete useful decks.

Malygos Rogue is still a pretty fun deck. I think that shit could be extremely good in Standard too. It is losing literally nothing (unless you have Healbots in it). I dunno, I think we'll see a resurgence of Miracle Rogue as well unless they nerf it more

I've been saying this. The only real concern is that control warrior is traditionally a pretty bad matchup for maly rogue, and control warrior is poised to move up post-rotation as well. But yeah I'm expecting miracle to be top tier for at least the first month or two while the new meta sorts itself out.

Honestly, I think the difference between 2 power and 3 power is the difference between Tentacles being playable or not. A more expensive fiery war axe that you can just keep reusing every single turn? I'd probably run 2x Fiery, 1x Tentacle, 1x Gorehowl as my weapons package in that case. 2 damage? Garbage.

Can't believe it.....just watched someone in brawl play finley when they were making a comeback lol. Its like they wanted to lose.

(Watch now this will be the most overpowered shit in the set somehow.)

You know, the more I think about this card the more I feel like it could end up being one of the most useful/annoying cards of the set. Especially if zoo comes out of the gate strong in standard, which I think is a reasonable assumption.

I'm probably wrong of course, but it might be a sleeper.

It's going to be a bit odd, although obviously we are missing many of the pieces yet. Still, as much as they are (obviously) trying to push the late game decks and especially the late combo style, I've got to give the nod to aggro/zoo being dominant next meta.

There's just no way they can rotate out so many key anti-aggro cards and not see even vanilla aggro and zoo making a comeback. I'm not yet convinced that brood is going to matter though. A bit too janky I think. Perhaps though. Perhaps.

I see brood playing a lot like Dark Cultist with a way shittier body. Opponents will go out of their way to kill everything else first and if they don't have the resources to finish it off that turn then you flood the board and suicide it. If you can't suicide it then your opponent has to again focus on your board and leave the little guy for last. I can see it getting pretty annoying. I don't think it will be very good on curve but later turns combo'd with something bigger, maybe.

The difference being that Dark Cultists is a 3/4, not a 2/2. Anyway there is no real question that zoo and aggro shaman will still be around, as will midrange hunter in the form of an updated camel list.

That's the thing, you definitely have to play around it and it could create awkward situations. If it even gets to trigger on like two minions you've gotten a pretty good return, nevermind something like four other dudes. I don't really see it working in anything BUT zoo, but it seems tailor made for that archetype. Zoo was pretty good in classic already and there's some spots to fill after losing implosion, gang bang and some other stuff that depends on which type of zoo you are running. Obviously Shattered and Harvest Golem are strictly better stand alone cards, but this dude has a big potential upside.

Another very important thing to consider is that with egg and creeper rotating out, there's a much bigger chance your 3 drop will be hitting an empty board.

Yeah but in an old school zoo you'll probably be running a lot of 1/2/3's anyway. That's like Beagle said though, its not really going to be good on curve, but once you're establishing something by like turn five it could get nuts.

Interesting to note you could get one from Scarab.

I really like that for midrange. We'll see what midrange non-camel lists look like, but I bet they'd probably run one of those. Hell, maybe camel will try it too.
