If there is a nerf (post ROS)

What class and deck would you like to see more of? (state Std or WILD)

*not a thread on nerf

#1 I’d like to see a nerf to prep. Card is stupid good and will continue to get better if they keep printing cards like Myra’s and Raiding Party, and even if they don’t it’s bad for the game to have prep warp 3+ cost spells around it making them all bad without it. And as a wild player I want a nerf and NOT hall of fame, because spells designed without prep in the format will be even better than the stuff we have now.

Also would like a Barnes nerf. It’s just become obnoxious to play against turn 4 barnes into statue or something and lose the game. Would at least slow big priest down on high roll games even if it doesn’t affect the power level too much.

Wild
C’Thun Warrior but that’s impossible with so many faster and cheaper combos.
I prefer a new rising of secret paladin over Bloomlock or BP.
Kinda miss Mech Mage.

Standard
Midrange hunter. I want to see more of them instead of CW or rogue. The mech version is boring ah.

Not sure I want any nerfs yet. Still feel meta is not totally solved. I think mech hunter is still underplayed for example.

More species of Secret Mage.

I always thought Secret Mage would be a control deck, trying to outplay opponents by playing the perfect secret at the perfect time, or bluffing a knowledgeable opponent by putting a deliberately “incorrect” secret down and having the opponent dancing around phantoms. Subject 9 partially made this possible - if your mage opponent draws a full 5 secrets and plays 1, you are going to have to assume it could be anything. Antonidas is on the board with a secret up - is it Counterspell? Do you Warpath+Execute, risking a Spellbender? Do you use Gorehowl, risking a Splitting Image? What could this Mage have put down?

Unfortunately, Secret turned into an aggro archetype. Instead of using precise secrets at the exact right time, the only secrets that ended up seeing much play were the broad use ones that were good almost anywhere, namely Counterspell and Explosive Runes. After all, trying to rely on a secret you might not draw or that is useless in half your matchups hurts more than it helps.

Dude they are going to do some huge widespread nerfs.

Bloodbloom, barnes, dread corsair to name a few.

I just want blizzard to fix their graveyard mechanic. Barnes isn’t the problem; that 1/1 statue or rag is easily dealt with and is not the problem.

Being able to ressurect COPIES- with full stats, no less!- is the problem, as well as being able to res multiple simultaneous copies.

Barnes and shadow essence copies should not be ressurectable.

Darkest Hour needs to just disappear too. Bloodbloom I would hope remains the same. Mechathun warlock will disappear without it.

I want to see more Carpet Rogues (patent pending :wink: ) in wild.

I’d love for a nerf to result in more Warriors so I can go back to my greedier Summoner Kage build with Power of Creation and such while I watch them scramble to scrounge up enough removal to keep up with my magnificent magical menagerie of minions :yum:

Shouldn’t it be Aladdin Rogue? (Thief on Carpet with Lamp)
