Lamplighter damage counter must reset every time its bounced back.
So generated/bounced back lamplighters start at 1 and then start to improve again.
Basically the card itself should count elementals in row since it was added to deck/hand.
Than cap its damage at 10.
Elemental decks having a finisher is fine. I think the issue people are having are just with Rogue because it can bounce it so easily to keep the chain going and make extra copies with Sonya, which turns Lamplighter into broken. Not everyone plays aggro decks or wants to play aggro to counter this. As always, Rogue’s bounce back to hand effects are just a way to abuse battlecries.
So what should the players do if they are unwilling to fix the core of the problem in Zilliax? You understand they have had time to fix this card but they won’t so they don’t see a problem with Zilliax determining the meta.
When you say this I get the feeling that you mean “they” as “blizzard”. When “they” should be you. The player.
You can actually run a fun deck. Make some garbage. Do whatever. No one forces you to play this stuff lmao but you want to win. That’s fine.
Just don’t pretend you aren’t willing to be as much of a degenerate as you possibly can for the sake of a win. The results are all that matter to you anyway so why are you trying to act like you got some kinda reputation to uphold?
They didn’t make the meta the players did. Like I said you can play all the homebrew jank you want. No one is stopping you but you. Instead you wanna play figurative trash for wins. Fine lol get your wins.
But quit complaining about the meta. My brother in christ YOU MADE THE META.
That’s funny that you think i am actually playing the Lamplighter deck. When in reality i haven’t touched standard since the new set went live. I did my monthly climb before this new meta existed.
My statement was a question. What are the players supposed to do to win games if the Zilliax decks won’t allow them to play board based decks? They are forced to OTK from hand.
You also appear to have some serious anger issues. Perhaps taking a step back and evaluating your own choices before posting next time.
I just got a lamelighter card in a pack and I noticed it only costs 3 mana? Seems like maybe a card that deals X damage based on turns taken (or elementals played or whatever. Same thing) should be more than 3 mana, especially with all the mana cheat effects that are in the game meaning 3 mana might be idk 0 mana or 1 mana, or whatever. I mean it should have clearly and obviously been 4 mana out of the gate, right? And probably nerfed to 5 mana about now.
Btw, I have not faced any lamplighter deck so this is just coming from a neutral opinion
Ah. “You” was confusing you wasnt it. Sure if you took at as aimed at you directly then it sure was.
I stand by what I said about degenerates lmao.
You don’t win. Thats what you do. You play for fun and to have your decks pop off now and then with a game plan you made or found cool that wasnt simply “hurdur best win rate on such and such meta site”.
The problem is with you (yes all of you. Is that better? more specific? ya baby?) wanting to do nothing BUT win. So obviously you feel pigeonholed into doing the most degen things you can because its a hivemind mentality with people like YOU.
And never EVER EVER confusing me looking down on you with me being angry. I don’t want to laugh, I want to feel superior alright? Do your job.
