Is mill druid actually a thing at all? Like, if I don't much care about my rank? I love the idea because it's so non-standard, and I liked the early mill decks back in MTG so it'd probably be fun

If you don't care about rank sure. There was a mill druid I played around with early last season that was fun if not practical.

If you don't care about rank, sure. I actually got to rank 10 with mine last season before I had to switch decks. It is really bad vs Hunter though.

I've been thinking about a Rogue mill deck actually. Mukla, Coldlights, Shadowstep being the core. Haven't actually tried to flesh it out and ladder with it though.

My problem with mill is it can be completely pointless if they have the board position and the cards to pull off a win with their ridiculous clock at 1 damage a turn. This isn't MTG where they just lose.

Thanks ya'll. I put that Druid deck that Eli posted together and am now 5 for my last 6. Only reason I even lost that one was a miracle top-deck Soulfire from a Zoo deck. He had 2 life left and was dead meat just as long as he didn't top deck his second Soulfire. So of course he does. But hey shit happens. But anyway, it feels good to win some games again. I was ready to rip my hair out.

In my experience mill works best as a finisher, like a druid deck loaded with stall cards and removal, and your win condition is a double naturalize and cold light at the end of the deck. The mill decks that try to burn cards early game with things like mukla into coldlight, etc, are very inconsistent, and only really work against slow control decks. Any agro deck will just thank you for refilling their hand.

Is a nerf in da works?Why does my Buzzard cost.... : hearthstone

I hope not. 5 mana 3/2? That is a terrible change.

Thread also suggests Leeroy will cost 5 as well.

Leeroy at 5 seems reasonable. I always thought Buzzard should draw a card for each beast that dies. It makes more sense thematically and not being able to UTH to draw into Hunter's Mark and then remove the big taunt would make a huge practical difference in how effective UTH actually is.

Thinking ahead, with handlock and shaman potentially on the rise after the nerfs, mage might be a good choice, but it's going to have trouble with the control warriors, or possibly a slower version of priest with mind controls and whatnot.

Of course Leeroy is the first legendary I crafted just last week.
Of course it gets nerfed a week later.
Of course!!!!!

You get to disenchant it for full value though if its true.

This has always been the correct change for buzzard and it blows my mind that it has never been done.

5 mana leeroy is probably the death knell for miracle rogue though.

There is always Malygnos Rogue...Or aggro Rogue. Miracle would still be viable with a 5 cost...Just not as strong as it once was.

I'm opposed to Leeroy changes...I don't think they are needed, but I've said Buzzard has been begging for a change since it was created. I'm not convinced adjusting it to death is the best solution, but I'll take what I can get.

Miracle is still viable with Leeroy being 5. Hunter imho is still alright as well with that change.

Bigger nerf to hunter would be Hunter's mark cost increase
