Then why am I losing so much at Diamond 5 to 1? I’m playing Vampiric Blood with corpses, Gnome Munchers that get a free hit to face, Mortal Strikes to remove threats, and even Corrupted Ashbringer to swing at face late game, but my winrate is still low?
Could it be that Blood DK is easy pickings for greedy OTK decks?

Because it has the heals but no teeth.
Anything that plays any sort of value game stomps it.

Just heals away.

I won’t say that you suck but I will say that you have no excuse losing to Blood DK with Shockspitter Hunter.

At first I thought the class was bugged when I saw people getting 60 health then I realize its that 3 Blood Rune spell card, its text is like some Yu-Gi-Oh cards, it doesnt say RESTORE 5 health it says GAIN 5, thus meaning it can push the max of Blood DK’s Health pools from 30->40 or if using that legendary from 40->50.

Each card can effectively give +10 health with some corpses to throw at it. So it can go much higher but it doesn’t help if you have no real win condition.

I thought the Blood DK win con was just outlasting your opponent, you get a beefy taunt minions and they all have lifesteal as well also with saurfang thats a free beefy taunt every turn for essentially free.
Nope that is not a win condition in todays HS. Not to mention Blood DK is a free win for Druid.

Blood DK is basically a low Tier 2, high Tier 3 deck. If it didn’t have the insane healing, it’d fall off the map. It brings a grindy playstyle that I personally enjoy without the insane damage capability of Shockspitter Hunter or Miracle Rogue. Honestly, it feels pretty balanced.
Clearly not OP, there is absolutely 0 problem with this card. Have you even played DK in wow especially Blood?? What’s their thing.
I feel like planets have to align to lose to Blood DK with Shockspitter
They have to have great draw while you have very bad draw.
If you’re trading at all, this is wrong. The only thing which should hit minions are those tiny spells, which is why there is at least one of the “spells deal poisonous” in the deck. Otherwise, if you can curve those out, like arcane shot, chip away some more. Never be afraid to use a shocspitter to clear a big minion, but I’ve only done this once because that minion had LS and I had a way to get Shockspitter back.
For the record, I have been playing this deck, but I only play because it plays and climbs fast. Something NEEDS to be done with this deck before people get bored of trying new stuff.
if hunters OTK build gets nuked but also druids busted OTK armor build takes the hit to i can see blood DK moving up to lower A tier if not high A only way for it to be at S would be if blizzard buff some of the minions by stats or mana cost, i look forward to how they will address some of the broken OTK combo decks going rampant right now.
That kind of seems like what it does, I’ve played games against blood DK where I’ve done at least 80 damage over the course of the game and they just keep healing until I run out of cards.
Bloodboils is about the most bullspit card I have seen in a control deck ever.
If you want to build a deck that makes large, wide boards, then this just turns them into a battery for the DK. The fact that you then have to look at your own minions to see if they can out damage the heal they’re going to give the opponent.
I have lliterally just conceded to it twice in a row and then just stopped playing for today.
I HATE these decks. HATE them. Decks that just sit on their hands are the absolute worst. Now you put all that with renathal and 45 health max and armor and freeze, and nope.
There needs to be a separate renathal mode for people who think that crap is fun. It’s the literal worst of this game in a big pile. Awful, awful game play.
You can’t heal your way out of a 60 damage OTK.
While you are very much correct, that’s a completely separate issue.

It is, but we can’t even judge how good the healing is because the meta is not balanced from the damage. As a priest player, I believe blood death knight has better healing than priests and I think everybody knows it which is ridiculous because priest is the healing class. They just overtuned blood DK to just shove Aggro aside like it’s nothing.
So we can’t address their healing if we currently have an issue with damage. Got to fix the damage problem before we can evaluate what a healing nerf would look like.
