Begging the devs: preemptively nerf plague DK

No. It’s just that, hyperbole. It’s just meant to poke fun at the people who will do this.

No that’s not my point here. My point is that the deck shouldn’t be allowed to be good anymore.

I don’t even think it is good. Just that it is too good, more than it should be allowed to be.

I too have been wrongfully suspended before, so I sympathize with you :slight_smile: I once got a temp ban for using the word ‘bullying’ in a sentece to describe an aggro deck. I appealed and got the suspension revoked tho. Automated systems are awful. And some people will jump at any opportunity to flag you if they don’t like you.

At least Astalor is rotating. Brann Warrior will be a lot weaker in the upcoming expansion…just be on the lookout for other obnoxious battlecries from Warrior and Neutral minions.

Like the pseudo-reprint of the Corrupt Clown that deals 4 damage. I’m sure Shudderblock and Brann will have a field day with that one.

If the plagues did fatigue damage like they should, then I could possibly understand a nerf.
I don’t understand how such a “bad deck” could call for pre-emptive nerfs?

The Astalor loss is pretty big but there are for sure other routes for that deck to win that already existed. The scarier part is that the entire season that deck is one extreme BC card away from becoming obscenely powerful. We need plague DK to exist in a Highlander meta for good or bad IMO.

Because people keep playing it and I don’t want them to :triumph:

Jokes aside, I think it simply is a lot better than it should be for the sake of a lot of other decks. And I think it is about to become very common in ladder, so I am scared of it ruining my launch day. I do think it will become bad eventually when the meta settles and lethality is too high for it to thrive.

Edit: also don’t take the op too seriously, it is largely meant to be ironic in nature. Just to discuss how annoying plague dk enjoyers are about to become.

I understand. We all have different likes and dislikes.
For me it started out when titans launched. With my 60 packs, I literally got Helya, as one Lego and I had all the cards for the plague deck if I crafted Primus.
So I was forced to play that deck and learned to enjoy it. At the time, the archetype was pretty weak, maybe tier 4. It was a meme or a bad joke.
I still played it and enjoyed it. Then the excavate package came out and that really solidified the deck as a contender because highlander came as well.
I don’t think any of the cards are particularly broken so I’m happy to still play it. I try to avoid whatever is completely busted….stuff like Brann, nature shaman, etc. so it works for me and for a while it has to because it’s the only deck I could build.

this deck not even in page 1 in terms of winrate in HSReplay.

It’s tier 2 in HSreplay since last patch Diamond to Legend? 54.08% archetype WR.

Might want to check that twice. Also, the concern is its role and frequency post-rotation. Not now.

Not only plague DK, just DK should be nerfed.

Also, let’s talk about Helya. I hope that “unending” for plague is not gonna get a new keyword. Like new DK card “Each turn, draw an extra card, gain 5 armor” And this is… Unending ! You have 8 cards in your hand, shuffle them : you get 40 armor. Sounds wound ?

Wound = good (autocorrect struck again)

EDIT : my crystal ball tells me that in wild mill deck vs unending plagues can’t win. Let’s set how it goes

You know what, I give up.

I don’t think it’s technically against the rules to necropost, and even if it were, Blizz clearly doesn’t care enough to moderate. Do what you want, dig up a post from a decade ago for your 7th post in this forum.

No.

I’m sorry I can’t remember reading in the forum ToS that you needed more than 500 posts to be allowed to express yourself.

I’m simply gonna play the game instead of continuing this meaningless blathering.

DK is fine and so are plagues. Having counters to very specific decks is a good thing.

They’ll add it in 7 months and you can repeat this process again at that point.
