Mindrender Illucia Nerf

It’s an I win card vs combo decks, usually considered the counter to control decks, but it was also a strong card vs every other archetype. They now nerfed it to be a tech card for combo decks but slightly worse vs aggro and control.

Considering highlander priest was banned so much from what I saw of grandmasters. It’s no surprise they were gonna nerf something about the deck.

Top legend (and Gm circle) has a particular Meta, not playing certain decks that are weak, but which you find everywhere else on the ladder. (like last season this tends to favour Priest the most). Atm Galakrond/Bomb Warrior should be banned in tournaments (by far best tier 1 deck), but I doubt it will, since so many high level players like warrior.

Just got this card from the $20 bundle. Seriously considering dusting it, doesn’t seem all that great at 3 mana. I do enjoy playing priest thought, hmmm.

my friend just went to legend, with rogue in 1 hour, from diamond 5.
But no, Illucia is the most imbalanced things to balance.
This make you wonder, priest hast a ~50% Winrate. why was it so urgent to nerf something, that is not even relevant.

Could some dev help me to understand?

Because it feels bad to play against.

Same as Quest Rogue.

If you want to speak with a dev directly, you might want to consider a different venue. Reddit, for example. Or Twitter.

indeed, they read everything except the official forum

the deck and the effect on the meta doesnt feel as close as you claim it is compared to rogue

feels more closer to albatross
