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.
