Hearthstone

Been playing a little. Its looking like Druid is going to be even stronger now than before the expansion and they may actually be better than Death Knight.

3 Frost or 3 Blood appears to be the strongest. You might to 2F1B or 2B1F but 3 Unholy sucks as its just kinda bad at everything. 3 Frost even when built for damage just doesn't seem to do enough damage to any of the Gruff type Druid decks.

Denathrius Druid decks are still everywhere and with Otters and Scale of Onyxia druid has way better board clear than most DK decks.

Well while we always say this, this expansion is pretty shit.

Now its not only Druid that runs with multiple major finishers and many ways to reliably feed Denathrius its also DK. In addition to DK they run Astalor which is even easier to get to 32 dmg or more with Brann. Druid decks seem to run Denathrius, Astalor, AND the ravager mobs that consume your shit for stats. In addition to Mutanus and Theodor.

So you either play control DK or Druid that have survivability mechanics that no other classes even come close to. Or you run the best Smorc deck you can. Midrange will continue to be nonexistant, I don't mind playing spit hunter though as the games sure are quick.

The obsession with flashier and flashier cards is getting tiresome.

IMO Scale of Onyxia and Guff were the worst cards ever printed in this 2 year period. It shores up any weaknesses that Ramp and Druid really had. That being that Druid traditionally had a hard time handling big boards. Not so with the Otters and Onyxia which additionally feed Denathrius and Infuse all of the other cards like Sylvanas and Ravager. Astalor is going to be in almost every deck too. It's like having another Denathrius that you don't even have to feed and flexes into the 2, 5 and 8 drop slots with a single card.

So yes Druid is still a bit weak to Aggro but they aren't that weak to it. With Wild Growth/Gruff/etc all they need is to get one of their board clear token cards out and they can survive until you can't kill them.

Also I am going to continue ranting a bit but the Rune system for DK needs work. As it just constricts how you can build decks but since discover mechanics favor class cards if you run enough discover cards you will likely find the other rune cards and quite reliably.

They should have had some balls and have the Runes you selected restrict discover as well.

I am noob stomping up from bronze but God damn Arcane hunter is fun. And cheap.

Went from bronze 10 to gold. Lost 11-12 games tops using highest rate arcane hunter deck on hsreplay.

Easy to achieve Blood DK infinite loop.

LOL.

They've nerfed Theodor 3 times. They've never touched Denathrius or Scale of Onyxia or any of the big problem cards.

Hunter wont be getting nerfed.

Spoke too soon!

I would argue that this nerf actually makes Blood DK and Druid stronger because you just weakened aggro tools against them. They just don't have the massive 40 dmg Big D... only 20 or so.

Astalor going to be in every deck now since D now sucks for all except two classes. Nevermind that Druid runs Astalor, Big D, and Ravagers in the same deck.

Gay. What is going to happen against faggot DK and Druids with 50 health now?
