For me they’ve missed an opportunity to bring back some highlander cards into the core set like Alex and Zeph to enable some deck variety. Also, once again they’ve missed an opportunity to create any kind of interesting mechanics for Warrior. Remember when warrior had bombs? An undying Rattlegore? An otk ETC deck? That was fun. Now it’s just “BRRR minions go BIGGGG!”
Yeah, I’m honestly just getting tired of games being won through stupid Discover effects. There is no player agency with this game anymore. It’s all just one big RNG fest.
looking forward to the deatknights being nerfed. So cringe. the players taunt and emote like they are good players been playing this game since release and never seen a class played more than dk rn over 50 percent are all dks in my games d5 plus.
This expansion does feel like a flop. They added lots of cool new things but there’s still so much overpowered junk left over from previous expansions you can barely use any of it.
No not at all only has massive board clears, massive healing, and the most BORING playstyle.
I totally understand. If you’ve been playing since the last release then this just feels like more of the same. Especially with a new expansion and card rotation, this was hugely disappointing to have dominant decks from the last rotation kill the fun for all the other classes and new cards. I still played warlock, priest, and mage which are my usual favorites. Even got to diamond 3 with warlock. But losing so much over and over to especially frost and blood dk with a broken discover pool is just abysmal. Blizzard really dropped the ball.
I didnt say blood dk the whole class is getting nerfed and I love every second of it. 57 percent of my games d5 plus is against dk. Never seen anything like it the fact people resort to this for wins is so grossss and un original
Hmm let’s take a quick inventory of the top performing decks you are most likely to encounter pretty much anywhere on ladder.
-
Blood dk - almost entirely unchanged, maybe a few cards added
-
Frost dk - a lot of deck lists use 1 or zero new cards from expansion
-
Miracle rogue - basically the trick to getting miracle rogue to work well again was to ignore every card in the expansion
-
Pure paladin - effectively adds a few new cards to the expansion, but all the heavy hitting cards like countess are same old same old
-
Shadow priest - I don’t believe they run any new cards, some deck lists sub in the new weapon but that seems to be a tech
-
Relic DH - basically zero new cards
So yes, almost all top decks are basically from the old set.
There’s a few okay to top performers that are new
-
Outcast dk - runs the same old otk combo DHs have been using since the last expansion, but has a new shell of infinite discover and mana cheat.
-
Tony druid - arguably the only deck that uses a lot of cards from the new expansion, but also a poorly performing one landing somewhere in t2 or t3, lots of players still play this probably just to see cards from the new set.
So yes, we are playing the same game as before expansion mostly.

Hmmm. Has the best discover cards the game has ever seen. Can get multiple copies of vampiric blood, soulstealer, blood boil, asphyxiate, patchwork, frostwyrm in either blood or frost format.
Board clears at high cost?!? Blood boil and corpse explosion at 5. They could’t be any cheaper.
And you just named 4 classes that underperform and see next to no play except my shaman. Oh a priest countered you one time and you got mad because you lost.
My dude, you have zero idea what’s going on with this game.
