One again, team 5 with 0 foresight gave druid another uncounterable win condition (mechathun doesnt count, youve countered every deck in the game with an unhealthy card)
Hotfix bees to target enemies only, or make it so overkill doesnt trigger on friendly minions. Especially since its incorrectly coded because you couldnt attack an enemy minion into an overkill card and trigger it (IE, Ticket scalper) yet they somehow got it wrong here.
5k armor in one turn combined with jade to make it immune to losing other than mechathun or some meme tier majordomo treachery combo is literally a broken design.

agreed, I faced a druid that gained almost 2k armor because of bees and the new druid quest. It needs to only target enemies only

How many cards is this combo?
Linecracker innervate floops gloop 2x bees and 2x earthen for 2500 armor is 7 cards?
(just making sure i got the right combo). Its not the only infinite combo with 7 cards in wild.

the deck can literally function without this combo its called jade druid, and jade druid by itself is still a wild menace.
You just added a 5k hp handicap to yourself
Stop justifying it
Both jade Druid and this combo are countered by skulking gheist.
Because it’s new, people will play it even if it’s winrate is terrible.
They will jump off the bandwagon after getting gheisted enough times, so join the resistance lol.
At least this kind of deck has a tech card for it

One aspect that bothers me with this card is that it completely ignores taunt. Any spell that summons a minions/tokens should not be able to attack minions if there is a taunt in place.
Uncountable???
Ever heard of Geist lol

Just saying, what makes this deck different or more unfair from any other combo deck ?
The combo doesnt come too early nor with really few cards nor without counters.
So why is this deck exactly unfair? Unless we suggest that every combo deck is unfair…
And dont get me wrong i generally hate combo decks but i ve simply accepted their existence in Hs.

I was surprised by this today as well.
Basically its a card that says: kill this 5/10 minion on the turn its dropped or DIE.
Without having bees in hand its still a solid drop. Bees make it instant win the game next turn.

I got slaughtered by this today. I never saw it coming but had to laugh at all the armor.
Now we REALLY need an anti armor card.

I was playing Reno Mage in wild and this Druid player gave me a rude reminder that skulking ghiest needs to be in my deck.

Anyone who still says skulking geist when literally you have a 65% chance of not drawing it yet justifying this deck are the people blizzard caters to - smoothbrain rank 50’s.
It literally goes against overkill’s own text because someone who programmed it at blizzard mains druid.
As for the speed - literally any other deck has slower pace than it except mill rogue, but the sad part is, you cant even mill the deck since its JADE as well.

You do realise you are more likely to draw your one tech card than your opponent is to draw a 5+ card combo by turn 6 right?
Not saying I agree with the deck still early days but that comment is a bit silly cause statistically you are more likely to draw your answer than they their combo

Earthen Scales is a 1 mana spell… Wasn’t there a card that destroys all 1 mana spells? Hmm Yeah no counter to the armor gain.
It is a 7 drop. So the chances you have some answer for it is reasonable. Its better than turn 4 Mountain Giant that reads the same thing against Mage or Turn 1 from pre nerf Undertaker.
Nobody at Blizzard mains Druid. If they did it wouldn’t be the most nerfed class.

well then you need to put in 2 to higher those odds ha ha.
I am not complaining about the ‘cool guy’ scenario where you get 2500 armor after playing a 5 card combo.
I am complaining about simply playing Linebreaker on turn 7, it is a solid, high HP drop with no real downside, and then cast Bees! into it the next turn, making it an 80 Attack minion and kill your opponent with it.
As said before, a simple, very solid 10HP drop that has a high threat of OTK with minimum card combo.
