As a returning player, I can say that Hearthstone at least in regard to the deck I decided to play, Protoss Mage actually feels like I am playing an older control deck.
Watching the numbers on the Colossus slowly accumulate while I’m essentially ‘defending’ until I drop it genuinely reminds me of what makes Hearthstone control decks so interesting.
While I was on my break, the game was filled with discover nonsense, scams, and other frustrating mechanics that made it feel unbearable. I can’t speak for the rest of the meta, but I can at least say I’ve enjoyed playing this Protoss deck, which wins through slow, coherent accumulation of resources. Though, a tad boring.
It’s not the new Skeleton Mage (best type of control IMO) but at least it’s not Elemental Mage or Big Spell Scam Mage.

I mean it can be argued it is elemental mage but with protoss cards instead of elementals and colossus instead of pre nerf lamplighter.
I get that its a slower deck that doesnt push out minions every turn but thematically its pretty similar.
It definitely does, from time to time

Yeah, so great being on the other side, feeling hopeless.
I was playing libram paladin. I was pressuring hard. Yet still, mage killed me on turn 8 with 2x11 DMG. Was so fun.

Not hard enough, apparently

Matches with new decks feel pretty good, agreed.

scam was hearthstone and scam continues to be, just now I played two arenas, the first 4-3 second I change hero I choose mage, here the matchmaking manipulated by blizzard is activated just to make you do 0-3, I find 3 hunters with similar decks all with hydralodon that …coincidentally… were really optimized against my deck. Come on, in the previous arena I hadn’t even met a hunter. For me it’s a blatant scam
Yeah it feels good, and then you reach a decent rank where everyone is playing shaman with unlimited armor and the collosi don’t do anything. I am also a returning player from season one, and I hate this meta, especially shaman and this cool cat druid that’s going around
