Intial day-1 impressions of the 3 factions

Zerg is busted with too much early game pressure, even in control/oriented decks beyond it (DK.)

Terran feels too slow to keep up, bad draw is very noticeable with them.

Protoss? No idea. All I’m seeing is Zerg decks.

Protoss can get out of hand very fast. Priest can generate insane value and mage can comfortably generate enough spells to OTK you with the mech or close to it.

Protoss seems unplayable except in mage. Zerg is dumb. Terran is fine in shaman.

Damage from hand is completely out of control (again) and it only took me 2 hours of gameplay to get sick of the game and to see everything it has to offer.

I think I am done with this game for good ngl.

Terran seemed fine and fun in Shaman if you build starships, but Zerg seemed obviously way too strong, especially so in DK as predicted.

And Protoss seems fairly decent.

It’s definite Zerg > Protoss > Terran

Yep, this was the first thing I noticed. Activated effects from hand. The new creatures are essentially spells on top of being huge bodies.

Well I managed to face (read: get rekd) by one such hunter before that happened. He was highlander too.

I’m just doing the daily quest for now so not really trying too hard to feel how each plays

I’m not talking about VS each other, I’m talking about overall in this meta.

even more rogue death achieved!

truly we suffer for the sins of our bretheren, first our Thieves’ were destroyed for the sins of Mage, now our Ethereals disappear thanks to the sins of the Hunt

Oh way yeary be to us, dear Roguish Scoundrel! It doth truly be Roguover.

I think that Protos Priest to me feels better then Protos Mage its very strong and underrated im having fun with protos priest i stil feel i can improve the deck though.

I think all of the factions are playable its only day 1 just have fun experimenting i am :slight_smile:

Mind sharing a list? I tried to play some Protoss priest myself and I got ran over by everything else.

Just put a protoss shell on supernova mage and it became a better deck. It was really that simple.

Did you have a list? I found a basic paladin list but it’s not very interesting.

I chose Terran right off the start. Pretty terrible idea tbh. I am now playing Zerg with DK.

I only played a handful of games with Terran Shaman, but it’s basically your run of the mill Shudderblock deck with starships and terran list.

As someone who doesn’t play shaman, you’re taking gibberish to me.

I don’t know any shaman lists.

I’ll keep hunting to find something.

Ah, my bad. I’ll get a copy and edit here

This is what I ran for about 4 games (I don’t really like the 5-cost shaman terran card but I don’t know what else to put it)

The best Day 1 expansion or mini-set experience I’ve had in ages.

Zerg are so much fun and destroy Handbuff Paladin, which makes me adore them (screw that deck).

Protos seem a little weak, but I haven’t come across that many.

Terran a touch simple, but effective.
