Just got a pop up after logging in. Looks like they’ve banned the card in one or more formats .

only wild cause of the 100 to the face you do with Pally on turn 4/5. but only 58 to the face with rouge on turn 5 is ok still

yeah, seems excessive to me, they could have waited for the minikit patch…
Can’t even use it in practice mode?
The pop up doesn’t specify but wild is where the card was a problem. If youre building a wild deck, my guess is that it cannot be included.
It won’t let me play practice mode with either standard or wild…
Tell me you don’t play wild without saying it.

a better nerf to the Paladin deck would be buff Order in the Court and Polkelt to also draw a card. Then you would only have 25 max damage with holy wrath or change Holy Wrath to minion only and reduce it to 3 cost. Deck reorder or Holy Wrath will always be design limiters if they don’t change. But its typical Blizzard instead of fixing the problem once and for all they just sidestep the problem and let future Blizzard sidestep it again later.

It was good while it last, it got me legend just a day after release, it was either be killed before turn 4 or 5 by pirates or win, i think everyone knows it will be nerfed or ban, it killed other decks, now the true meta will take over
I was playing it while the ban was launched… I was already a hw mirror expert…

I was playing a casual match to do a quest and ceaseless expanse was summoned by something else. i don’t own that card.
I was surprised how easy it was to get it’s cost down. because of brann boomboss and marin there were lots of cards moving around. it ended up being 0 cost when 1 played it to clear a big board on the other side.
It’s so dumb because literally within 1 minute of the reveal, the first talk was about how Holy Wrath Paladin in Wild would be busted with this. 1 minute.
Yet over a year of development for this expansion and they never saw it.
It is mind boggling.

Next one will be Rogue I hope… 4/4 Asteroids into my face while there were 1 minion on board… really random… 4 from 4… fix that damn RNG… it should be atleast 2/2… 50% chance worked for the enemy 4 times in one row… yeah… random… ofc…
Rogue and Mage are just as big problem as Paladin were in wild… so I hope you do something about them for next.
Don’t bet on it. Rogue is someone on designs pet class for combo OTK decks.

Yeah, Quasar is likely just going to get nerfed or changed despite the deck being bad overall. When you play against Quasar Rogue, nothing you do matters. Their win is nearly solely determined on how they draw and it’s just a terrible way to design a deck.

If anyone here knows MtG history, the Rogue Quasar deck is almost exactly like the old Eggs deck.
You think the people that design the new cards have any type of memory of what exists in wild? I imagine they may have a passing knowledge of a few unique cards that have rotated into wild that they may have designed themselves in the past or worked on/with when they started. But to expect them to have any type of [what the competitive community has in terms of perfect photographic memory] memory of all potential cards in wild to make combinations with their new ones is just having too high an expectation. They do not playtest these new cards with wild in mind at all, it would be a huge waste of their time. As they can simply have the wild playerbase discover the broken combinations for them within moments of the card’s release and then take individual actions as needed. Very efficient and cost effective from their point of view. And honestly, I can’t blame them for it. Their business model for the game pretty much relies on the players that play mostly in Standard mode as there arent many whales that buy pre-release bundles for wild content even if that existed. lol.
Essentially Each new card isnt designed to be perfectly backwards compatible beyond what is in Core is my suspicion. And when something gets introduced to wild and becomes exceedingly broken and overplayed and virtually impossible to defend against, the community becomes loud and vocal in places the company probably pays the most attention to, such as social media sites or even reddit, and thats when it comes to their attention for actions to be taken.

Quasar is getting better and better… it is gonna be just as big problem as Paladin were in wild.
