Not sure there end game plan here constantly making these terrible cards and decks. Beast Hunter is just nuts and constantly gets support so does Druid. I got this feeling there just gonna do a hard reset like they did to WoW once they’ve lost enough people and money cause I’ve never been so bored and just overall disappointed with the state of this game. You don’t even stand a chance against decks now a days being able to drop a Sire infused to 20+ With a bran when all you do is just spew minions and get to win it’s just getting lazy and boring.

Get ready for the flood of schils telling you that you’re wrong.
I 100% agree though

Oh I know! It’s like I can play those decks too and put those cards in them! I don’t want to play a Hunter or a Druid or whatever these YouTube kids are playing. We should stand chances with other decks and classes. Team 5 doesn’t think so though.

I tried order in the court paladin without jailer for a beautiful 0-3 streak.
Got brann Theotarded and they took both cariel and kaza.
I can understand losing one win con to Theo but both , out of an 8 card hand is just downright infuriating
You are free to take a break until the next expansion when the current cards will be used a lot less.
Thanks for your permission. Just looking for a safe space to vent my frustrations with the game. Hope that’s ok with you and the forums.
The power creep is just out of control dude. Standard is literally just Wild lite. It never should’ve gotten to a point where you have games routinely decided on turn 3 and basically win condition minefields by turn 5 and onwards. I don’t know why it was so bad to have longer games. Then they supercharged the entire game to speed it up and then tired to curtail the speed with Prince after the quest debacles and it didn’t work at all.

it’s a mistake for the devs to not spend more time on balancing cards before they release them. that’s why this type of thing happens every expansion. i’ll give them credit for fixing most broken cards but it takes time. sire is OP and needs a damage nerf. shard needs a ban until they change the way it works so it can be more easily countered.
Worry not soon they will reach a new level of trash when the next worst expansion ever comes out and outdo themselves yet again with the one after that in their continuing cycle of the next expansion being the worst one ever.

That’s why I’m quitting this game for the time being. Just causes grief and anger with me.
To all the people who love Theotar and all the other busted OP cards I will only say, have fun playing all your OP steroid cards. Have fun when your games are not about skill, but about who draws their busted cards first

Data Reaper podcast put it quite well. This meta seems to be the result of an overcorrection for Stormwind. The board matters a great deal again, which is great, but with Renathal and Guff pushing attrition-based decks out of contention, the only remaining options are to play aggro or mid range strategies. I’d expect to see this corrected slowly, maybe over a couple of sets so they don’t swing the game back into another UiS meta.
All that said, I’m actually enjoying the game a lot at the moment. There are a few good decks that I really like playing and there’s nothing that I’m super unhappy to queue into. I love formats where there are multiple options that have across the board win rates between 45% and 55%, but would like to see a little more diversity in terms of strategies (more control and more combo because we only have aggro and midrange options that are plentiful right now).

I don’t think we need anymore control, you can make a strong argument to have less. Nearly every class is riddled with board removals, stalls, and theft. Classes like Mage, Priest, and DH are extra notorious with this.
Control tools exist but control as a game plan simply isn’t viable because Renathal trumps attrition-based strategies. There are plenty of control tools in the game, but not enough to grind out 40 card decks that contain Denathrius as a finisher. The only decks that really resemble control decks right now are Quest and Thief Priest, both of which sit in tier 3 or 4 from Diamond onwards. Everything else that’s played competitively is either aggro or midrange.
I gotta’ be honest. Playing in Wild, I get mad even when I win.
Between Heroes and Colossals, Quests, and Infuse, free summons, etc.
The game has simply gone too far.

You have an extremely large portion of the playerbase focusing on Beast Hunter, Implock, and Druid. All 3 of those fit into the aggro category, skewing the numbers terribly. However, I see PLENTY of Priests, Mage, and Shamans. I cannot tell you how many games i’m frozen for 7 or 8 consecutive turns or watching my own Leviathan & Smite kill me by turn 5 playing against Priest. I’m sorry that aggro actually uses it’s deck instead of using the RNG casino, playing discovery slot machines all game…
Mwah imo the powercreep that stormwind left destroyed the game, for me. Next expansion has to be even more cray cray
If Wild is ever gonna get playable again, the devs need to do some kind of hard reset. I don’t know exactly how one would go about it, but there needs to be some sort of hard reset in wild.
