I rip on bad metas, this one is incredibly good with the Frozen Throne cards.
It’s like Wild without the non-sense.
It may even be the best Hearthstone I’ve played ever (since 2017).
It’s not perfect, but nearly so (I think Mage freezes are probably suppressing other decks).
First Standard meta I’ve enjoyed since Forged In The Barrens, which was the first one I enjoyed since Uldum/Rise of Shadows/Rastakan/Boomsday.
I’m torn. The meta we had just before this event was diverse and balanced, and great from a competitive standpoint. However, I’m really loving the nostalgia of seeing Deathknights and setting up/playing around cards like Defile and Spreading Plague.
Its a shame most of the cards are not strong enough to be impactful. I’m super sad that the Imp package is basically mandatory in any Warlock list and it seriously messes with Bloodreaver Gul’Dan (also the demon support for Warlock in standard is non-existent), and that the Deathknight cards in general just don’t stack up against what we have at our disposal now.
I’m having fun for now, but I don’t like how underwhelming the cards feel now - its barely worth playing the majority of them. I think all we’ve achieved from a competitive standpoint is made Ramp Druid way more powerful and reintroduced a really uninteresting Priest deck.
All that said, I have only had time to very briefly look over the cards again so there are probably a few great synergies that I’ve missed. Hopefully some cool new archetypes come out of the event.
Like I said. Torn.
Let me guess. Fatigue priest player??
I tried to make DSR work in my Beast Hunter deck, but it’s just too slow.
For me it´s sadly just the same old you get a good game until Denathrius ends it.
Really kinda the worst card ever printed in hind sight. Really needed some further restrictions instead of being free to plug into everything.
I’ve been off standard since United in Stormwind. The requirement to craft all the quests (except DH, which alas was my freebie) really angered me. Maybe the pool has broadened now, and you don’t need all quests to enjoy all classes?
The quests were different from past “power legendaries” in that they are dealt to you right at the start, so there’s zero chance that they just won’t be seen.
Still… I’m looking forward to rotation.
The only remaining quest deck is Priest surprisingly, and its a pretty average deck. Every other Quest was nerfed to oblivion
Thief Priest was much more viable last week than today. I would think a Fatigue Priest Player would’ve preferred that.
Pardon me while I spit the vomit from my mouth and rinse out.
Obviously someone is a Priest main. This current “meta” has just confirmed Standard is now renamed, Wild-ish. It’s absolutely awful!
It’s horrible with more degenerate decks. The board has never mattered less.
I’ve been playing Hunter.
Yup. All because apparently most HS players don’t know how to quit when they are beat.
Tell that to implock.
But it is restrictive. You have to first draw it and then you have to play the game.
Implock just spams the board constantly. If Blizzard didn’t push every class having board clears and rewarding stalling until 10 mana you wouldn’t see the “counter” that is implock. It’s nothing but turbo aggro, miracle rogue combo, or stall/ clear “I win” card.
Wrong. Aggro is very abundant. You stated in another thread it’s dead. This couldn’t be more far from the truth. As Melphina points out here:
And he needs to tell that to Aggro Druid, Aggro Demon Hunter, and possibly even Enrage Warrior.
That’s the literal definition of a board based deck…something you said doesn’t exist or is irrelevant. I’m not convinced you even know what’s going on in the meta with such claims. Aggro Druid, Enrage Warrior, Aggro Demon Hunter, Imp lock, all at the top of the meta, do nothing but spam the board, buff it and kill you asap.
Now you’re saying "
and yet at the same time in another thread you said
Dude…make up your mind.
do you really think the its that good no matter the deck ?denathrius is stronger on token decks than any other deck type
Denathrius is another card that is too good at any price.
Let me bring out my Jameson laugh.
