Same archetypes but even more powerful than ever and barely using any of the new set.
Example: insanity lock rising up again. Surprised it tool this long to be honest for it to come back. Extra crescendoes more than encroachings is fueling this deck. I say remove the fel tag off if crescendo and the safety net of having a full heal but it aint gonna happen.
Example two: dragon druid is back and as powerful as ever with like ine or two new carfs, new heights and the seven mana one. Gotta love doomkin being meta still
Example three: all the handbuff and flood paladins, do they even use new cards?
Example four: rogue uses none of their new cards for the most part and if ya do it is an unoptimized deck. I like their legendarys but they are to expensive to play. Paladin uses the new cards more than rogue in earthen paladin, sea shill and conniving are great for that deck.
Well, if I comment then I have to speak from mage’s viewpoint as it is all I play.
That does not invalidate my input.
Rather it makes you sound like an exclusionist.
So, because I only play mage, I’m not allowed to comment or express an opinion per you?
How very evolved.
There are also plenty of neutral cards that need to be updated.
Or, am I not allowed to have a thought on those either?
I mean, imagine if there were people trying to discuss a variety of issues, but there was this one guy who had to jump into every discussion with how hard it was to date as a straight man.
Now I’m not trying to say that dating these days is easy for anyone, or that they have any other viewpoint than their own experience. But it’d just get insufferable if every single discussion had to address the trials and tribulations of the single straight male.
Could you maybe try listening to people, maybe formulating some opinions on some things that aren’t Mage? Do you really need to be that guy?
I comment regularly on things that are not mage, but of course, my experience with those classes and their cards would be from the viewpoint of having played against them as mage.
And your analogy makes no sense to me. It reads like the derail you are baselessly accusing me of.
There are a great many neutral cards that never see play because they aren’t good enough, or simply do not have any synergy. I feel like that could be far better.
And btw? Other than the thread I authored, this is the only one I am on, so you exaggerate at best.
The nerfs they recently did were fair and far from heavy handed IMO. The buffs probably could have been a bit bolder like the DK got. Decks that have existed always have the potential to come back around from even a single card making them relevant again.
The meta evolving and changing so much after the last balance patch is a good thing. New decks come in and supplant the existing ones. That makes it fun and exciting. You also have to realize right now there’s going to be a lot of experimentation on ladder from the top players with the MT this weekend. Those decks they are trying will naturally filter down to lower ranks as players see something new and exciting to play.
Try to remember that those “old” decks might be new decks to players that didn’t play in the meta when they were relevant.
