I’m absolutely over them. Some of them can be a little fun but the rest are just a nightmare.

Yep. There are many players that never liked them and more players that are just over them. This season seems really long and that’s mostly do to how much anomalies suck.
The problem is the crap ones are more common than the fun ones, but I would prefer to just remove them all.

I’m wondering which Anomalies Neon considers fun.
I don’t mind a handful of them honestly, and I also really dislike quite a few.
Since hitting my goal rank this season, I just concede the ones I don’t like, unless I’m playing with my wife or friends.
To name a few that I don’t prefer:
Buddies in the tavern- I think this really stinks. The tavern is bogged down with either useless buddies, no buddies, and stuff you don’t want in the shop.
Tavern Special- Nothing special here, tavern is again bogged down with crap making it difficult to build toward something meaningful. Too many minions make it more random and rng.
Deep Blues Sooner- should be called deep poos sooner because if you can’t get the right demons, cleaves, or shields, you just get feces splattered on your face .
I don’t mind No Place like Holmes, Oops All, and a few others.
One change that I think needs to be implemented is the removal of the beast tag from Banana Slammer. That would help tone down the crap that beasts can randomly summon or not, making things a bit more predictable. Beasts are in such a scammy spot right now, I feel like a jerk even using them…but if I don’t somebody else will do what to do?
At least I can buy and hold slammers and goldrinn so that others can’t get them

I’m just bored of them overall. Would rather play without them or something else after they shuffled up the minion pools recently.

I kinda flip these. I feel like it’s possible to get some cool builds with Buddies that are usually impossible, but it’s usually just bogged down by too many options clogging the shop — nothing special there. In contrast I HATE Tavern Special, it’s just less synergy unless you highroll.
I kinda like this one. Demons are the most obvious synergy, but not the only one — there’s also multiple Dragon synergies, Beatboxer (+ Foe Reaper), and Heedless Hoarder (+ alternating Upbeat Duos).

Some of the anomalies are so bad that I have to talk myself out of not conceding.

None that I know of.
As for the OPs question, yes I’m pretty much over them for the most part. There are quite a few I enjoy, but some I despise and they seem to come up more often than not (the tier 7 anomaly for example).
There are still some anomalies I’ve never seen and some I’ve only ever seen once.
I’ve only ever seen the “Oops! All X” anomaly once with Naga like the 1st week it came out. Never seen it since. Yet the Tier 7 anomaly I’ve seen over 50 times. I’m sick of all the ones I’ve seen 20+ times.
The oops all anomalies are not nearly frequent enough.

I thought they had been removed from the pool to be completely honest, and then a couple days ago I got Ooops All Undead. So you’re right, not frequent enough to the point I thought they were removed!

Me too!
I haven’t seen it since they noted they turned it down in patch notes (27.2.X, I think?).
I wasn’t upset about it… it’s seriously just rng who finds the good parts first no matter what the tribe.
I’ll put it this way:
I gave up ~ 2 weeks into this season on the idea of any actual climbing. For the record, I think it’s great we have a mode they continually update. It’s great.
However, I’m just bored. The anomalies go too far as far as something new. I want to play BGs, and anomalies make it feel like something else.

No, because the best build usually changes when you flood the tavern with a single tribe.
For example, I got an easy first on Oops All Undead with 4 golden Eternal Knights (with Taunt), 2 golden Soulsplitters, and a Straight Shot, staying on 4. This build was easy enough on Oops but would be completely impossible normally. Most people don’t realize that things like this become viable.
I’m sick of Felemental & Rylak being bugged and buffing my entire board every turn instead of just the tavern. Even if it looks incredible and I’ve never been on the losing side of it, it gives me anxiety thinking I’m going to get banned. Yes though, Anomalies in general can just gtfo already.

They messed up big time with anomalies.

HS it’s one of the most bug scam games in the world, false rng and bots…
Matches with murlocs are 100 times worse than any of the anomalies. So ******* tired of murlocs with massive stats while still getting hand summons and venomous
It’s pretty messed up to have the best stats and venom and scam in one tribe, for sure. It’s as strong now as it was in gentle megasaur days.
Uh Scam fell right off the map in BG’s a week or so ago when they made changes after the tournament. It’s not nearly as powerful as it was. Big stats are back on the menu for most lobbies.
