There is no way you played against 5 Tick warlocks in a row. Tickatus warlock is a rare fun casual deck and has pretty poor winrate so it’s very rarely played. It is crushed by: aggro, control and combo decks. Aggro crush them because they’re aggro, control crushes it because they have Elysiana or Educated Elekk or Togwaggle’s Scheme, combo crushes it before they can do the Tickatus combo.
So if you pretend you played against 5 Tickatus warlocks in a row, then you should either have short memory and you only had the illlusion you played against them, or you just want to bump up in the forums lying about something that is not even true.
In short, Tickatus warlock loses to every other deck, that is the reason why very very few people play it. You won’t ever be matched against 5 tickatus warlocks in a row.
I just played a Warlock who played this card 4 times in a row, starting at the 5th turn and the cost of the card was 0 each time he played it, of course being corrupted it only took my cards…so on turn 5 he played it 4 times in a row, wiped out almost my whole deck.
To top it off he was a chicken who hid behind the “Your Opponent” name, and when I went to look at who it was after the game, it didn’t have anything there, there was no Battletag name…how is that possible?
I am not sure who is designing these classes to make them OP by a couple cards…DH’s, Druids now Warlocks…getting to be where it is no fun to play anymore…

This is not possible in the game at the moment. There is no way to reduce Tickatus to 0 mana, corrupt it, and then play it 4 times starting on turn 5. It’s literally impossible.

Then he cheated somehow, I have it recorded and sent the recording to the email to report bots, mainly because he hid his identity not only by the “Your Opponent” but the fact that no name showed up when I went to look at his name after the game.
You should create a petition on this issue and on this map. Send a petition to Blizzard. The card will be deleted.
What are you even talking about?
Tickatus Warlock is currently a tier 2 deck with over 50% winrate and absolutely no one is playing Elysiana, very rarely Elekk or Togwaggle’s Scheme.
Also, Coldlight Oracle didnt destroy your deck per se. It made you overdraw. You were able to counter that by simply playing a lot of cards. Tickatus is literally destroying your cards and you cant do anything against that. The fact that Coldlight was banned into the Hall of Fame is proof enough that Tickatus shouldnt exist in the first place.

Tickatus lets you have a reasonable hand size. If you, for example, want to play Umbral Skulker but they play Coldlight Oracle and you have a full hand, then Umbral Skulker will generate no coins for you. On the other hand, if the opponent plays Tickatus, only your deck is a bit affected, but the hand is intact.
absolutely no one is playing Elysiana
This is why people are complaining, because nobody wants to add Elysiana in their deck. It’s their fault for that.
Tickatus is literally destroying your cards and you cant do anything against that.
Usually, cards burnt by Tickatus are not of significant importance for your deck.You can build your strategy with your remaning cards. Also, Sathrovarr adds cards to your hand and deck, and if you play Felosophy and copy your Sathrovarr, then you can go infinite by playing Sathrovarr on Sathrovarr. Warlock can’t do anything about it.
very rarely Elekk
If you don’t want to play Augmented Elekk, you can also play Educated Elekk. There are a lot of options to counter Tickatus.
Also, if you play Educated Elekk, play some spells and then play Faceless Manipulator on that Elekk, you will shuffle so many cards in the deck that Tickatus Warlock cannot do anything about it.

So I should worsen my deck with sht cards to counter a single card? Lol no, these are not counters but simply burden in any other matchup. Dead cards.
You know what’s a good counter? The one that can be played in any matchup, like Dirty Rat.

Sh’t cards? Elekk is a 3 mana 3/4 that has a additional effect, how can you call that sh’t? Also Envoy Rustwix is a very very good card against Tickatus.
The only reason there is so much Tickatus hate is because all the credit card warriors who paid for all those other snazzy OHKO combo decks which are much more expensive can get screwed if they dont have the full exodia by turn 8 (when you can reasonably get your Tickatus out without lucky mana cheating). It also annoys people using Cthun the shattered but those people are chad-wannabees anyways.
The majority of played decks are aggro anyways and usually KILL the opposing player by turn 6-7. Even with maximum anti-aggro tech cards you generally don’t last long enough to Tickatus against those decks.
Man just play aggro-decks and all is fine Warlock can do nothing vs Demon Hunter or Aggro-Rouge
turn 1…discover a demon…reduce next demon cost by 1…turn 2 tap turn 3 coin dark portal(draw ticka)…turn 4 dark portal again(draw Yshaar)…turn 5 Felosophy(hope it land on ticka out of the 2 demon)…turn 6…play discounted ticka at 0 mana…play 1 mana ticka…play Yshaar(5 mana)…play 2 more ticka for 0 mana…ok nvm turn 6 is earliest for 4 ticka plays…up to 6 if 2 felosophy was in hand
turn 5 is only possibly if opponent played lorewalker cho and gave the lock a second coin…heck maybe even 2 extra coin from cho if could use or a spell to fill hand so that dark portal effect trigger…very unlikely that he played cho and fed his opponent a coin though
EDIT: err hold up…forgot he could dark portal into jepetto which could reduce BOTH Yshaar and ticka cost to 1…(in such case turn 5 possible with no cho assist…turn 1-2 step above stay the same…turn 3 backfire(draw 3 card to fill hand(trigger dark portal effect)…turn 4 dark portal into Jepetto…turn 5 jepetto into yshaar and ticka(ticka cost 0 and yshaar 1)…play something that cost 1 to corrupt tickatus…Felosophy on Ticka…play double ticka and Yshaar…play 2 more ticka from Yshaar…total cost on T5…jepetto 1…Ticka 1(3 that cost 0)…random 1 cost spell…1 mana for felosophy(total 5)…idk if fel to corrupt ticka would net an uncorrupt ticka or a corrupt ticka…does corrupt trigger b4 felo or nah ? if corrupt trigger first then 6 ticka is possible on turn 5 with double felosophy

Learn to play and/or buy some pills for IQ …
You have just wasted 2 dark portals and coin because you did not have 8 cards in hand…

It should be nerfed, if for nothing else other than its not fun. There are cards that i dislike because they are powerful… this one I hate because its just not fun.
But I find it amusing the number of people defending the card by playing the pity game for Warlock. Warlock has been consistently strong… maybe not always the strongest, but with 10 heroes… thats just basic odds. Warlock had a heyday after Galakrond… But lets cry about warlock being the victim.
But again, powerful or not… I want the card gone as its just not fun.

clap Awi for reading only part of my post…notice where i said that cho might be needed to fill and for triggering the dark portal effect ? then you also ignored the edit part…sorry but those missing brain cells* are your buddy 
he didnt bother reading dark portal to know how it works before complaining
I don’t understand you guys why you are thinking everything about warlock is broken. Dark Portal is so weak against aggro that if you run it, you shoud insta-concede against aggro.
Dark Portal requires you to have 8 cards in hand. 8 cards. This condition is very rarely met, especially if the opponent uses Dirty Rat and lowers your hand size. I personally think Dirty Rat should be 3 mana or Dark Portal should be 3 mana, or the requirement should be “if you have 6 or more cards in hand”.
Also, blood was talking about Jepetto. If Jepetto draws Tickatus and Y’Shaarj, then you pay 8 mana for a 6/6 body, it doesn’t matter that Tickatus still costs 1. I mean basically you’re talking about a 1 mana 1/1 Tickatus? If that is broken too, then I leave this game. Remember that it still needs to be corrupted.
Felosophy is very bad. It requires you to have outcast, otherwise it’s not good at all. And it requires you to have Tickatus in your hand, which very rarely happens. Otherwise, it’s just a dead card in your hand. I hope in the next expansion (Barrens of … whatever it’s called), they will print more support for warlock because now it is low-ish tier 3 and sees no competitive play.
YYEAAAHHH 100% Tina is right!!!
This card is straight garbage to play against I agree, please remove it. Destroy half your deck on turn 9 with 20 cards left yeah f*ck off.

Why is your opponent alive on turn 9 other than the fact you sat there and refused to play the game. Rogue will kill you on turn 4, Druid on turn 6, Hunter/Mage/Shaman on turn 7, Paladin/War/DH on turn 8. If they are removing threats constantly they can’t have a ready corrupted tickatus to play on turn 9
