Hearthstone

seems pretty fucking weak sauce.

What else needed nerfing? Just RSW? I bet DoL and changes to the meta will keep that deck in check. Face Hunter was already countering DoL Mage. So if there's some way Mage can build against aggro while still drawing through most of their deck while still packing some sort of combo(burn is likely still better than C'Thun), RSW might need nerfing. I'm too stupid to know if what I just described can exist though.

I think raising Jandice cost was the wrong choice, should of stayed 5 and the summons become 4 costs. Making it 6 will still help so jury's out till we get to play with it.

I was somewhat ok with pen flinger balance wise before core/expansion, not so much now, but really I just want the fucking sound to go away permanently more than anything.

DoL should of been hall of famed.

RSW with C'Thun is gonna be to strong like it was before DoL took over the meta

I can't speak to Jandice, haven't played with her enough. This seems aimed more at rogue and shadowstep than mages. One more mana can be a pretty big difference for rogues.

I had the same thought initially on DoL. But 4 mana might be enough. Pay 2 mana of tempo on turns 1-3 is not that costly. A lot of control deck hero power pass in the early game. 4 mana of tempo later in the game is much bigger than just 2 more mana of tempo. Your opponent's board is more developed, an aggro deck is close to killing you if they've had a good draw. The next spell you draw will, on average, not pay for the tempo loss. So, you're effectively two turns at a tempo deficit just to play that card.

My gut feel is that RSW with C'Thun was taking advantage of an underdeveloped meta similar to contol warlock. The typical shell for spell mage doesn't have the longevity or card draw to last getting through most of your deck by turn 10. If Flame Ward and Reno cards were still standard, maybe that would be otherwise. I'm betting Mask of C'Thun and burning your opponent's face will be better.

Miracle priest will be annoying to play against no matter it's win rate. Meta will likely marginalize both.

Patch is live, hopefully get to play some later

I'm pretty sure Paladin just cuts the secret package and maybe even Pen Flingers and does something else and is just fine

Cutting the secret package also cuts your deck thinning, which comes back to Paladin's perpetual lack of draw.

Tickatus fucking non stop right now, hope it doesn't last

What has changed to allow control lock back into the meta long term? Right now you're seeing players taking advantage of an unrefined meta to play a grief deck.

meta or not, card needs altered. They should up the cost on it and drop the corrupt component

savjz has a pretty cool secret rogue with a sorta OTK thing going on. cool to see him playing constructed again.

Face Hunter seems like a pretty good deck in the current meta
