True and I agree but I like the idea of singles decks and hope they expand on it. It is good for Hearthstone as well. You want more of your product used and games really can be different. As ridiculously OP as Reno can be, it has been the most fun I've had in game for a while. Trump also outlines one of the other positives...getting to experiment with other cards you like but just don't fit normally.Reno just further highlights the issue with 'new' stuff and/or power creep when there's really little you can do to interrupt your opponent during their turn.
A less restrictive criteria and a less absolute ability would have been a better, safer card... but this is what people want to tinker with. I don't see how he won't be changed eventually - they keep piling in new cards eventually you'll be able to build most deck archetypes with singles only.
I never played magic, but apparently the reno deck is called a highlander deck in magic, so not a new concept at all. I don't see the problem
Burgle > Unstable Portal?Just got fucked on a reno heal in freeze mage because of those fucking torches. decktracker isnt capable of watching for them apparently. Lost what should have been an easy win against midrange pally.
You know whats funny though? Having confessor paletress in your hand as a rogue while playing against a mage.
Pay the man.Burgle > Unstable Portal?
I like it in an aggro meta, but dragon priest with good draw is nice in an aggro meta anyway. The problem I found is in more midrangy and control matchups the deathlords will either get silenced or end up fucking you over hard in many instances. Plus you end up relying on the combo as a win condition rather than simple tempo and board and many times that means dead cards in your hand while the opposing deck out values you. Its fun though yeah, but its just the same kinda innerfire/deathlord template of old shoved into the dragon priest deck shell.I'm sure this is old news but I'm having fun playing Dragon Priest with double divine spirit, inner fire, and deathlord. Crushes so many matchups as long as you don't get godawful draws (and somehow I NEVER see it on ladder even though it's on tempo storm).
