Reno, Lone Ranger, is too strong versus budget aggro players

This card’s secondary effect of limiting to 1 minion makes it ‘always good’.

You cannot ‘play around’ the Reno boardclear by keeping some minions in your hand. The 1 minion limit prevents you from refilling the board and regaining tempo.

A budget player cannot compete with the highlander deck via value gameplay. You have to play aggro with low cost minions etc. And this card makes your followup turn very weak. Its too strong and cannot be played around.

Absolutely, that’s one of the counters. Killing them before they go off. You can also put snake oils in their deck, or keep your own board clear for the Reno turn and go on from there.

It’s stronger than say, twisting nether, but not gamebreakingly so

The limit for 1 minion is only for one turn. Not forever.

Oh no. A control deck that has a chance against little scrubs who wanna win turn 4 with powercrept garbage. Assuming drawing perfectly and still surviving the onslaught to turn 8. How sad. /s

Btw, an aggro deck SHOULD not be able to keep up with a reno deck in VALUE.

Exactly. Its a card that limits the variety of decks people can play which isn’t healthy for the game.

The cost is way too cheap for the effect.

if you are playing aggro, and make it to turn 8, you already should’ve conceded 2 turns ago. if you hang around for reno, it’s kind of a “you” problem. not a nerf problem.

The cost is far too cheap for the effect it gives. The person that plays it has nothing to worry about. The opponent gets their board poofed and turn skipped. It’s a dumb card design that limits what decks can be played.

I mean. I feel like this is a control card working as intended.

As bad as the rest the of lists are, though, you should absolutely have already melted their face off before this is played or you’re doing it wrong. And if you haven’t, you weren’t going to win anyway.

Pretty much exactly this with a budget aggro deck. You have six or seven turns to win otherwise just move to the next game.

What is a budget aggro player exactly

How bad management of dust and gold do you have, to be unable of making a real deck.

This thread stinks of players trying to keep their overpowered cards from getting nerfed LOL. It wont work and the card will get nerfed.

Oh wow. Who would have thought half built unrefined jank loses to fully built refined meta decks. Quick Blizzard bring out the nerf hammer people have cards.

Define budget deck?

Ill give you an example of a deck that loses nearly zero games to Reno decks, and doesn’t have a single legendary.

OP said “budget” aggro

But I think he means, as others pointed out, “bad” aggro, so it’s lacking in the ability to kill people before 8, and/or have burn that they still can land lethal after turn 8. People like to hide behind words like “casual” or “budget” to mask/excuse their own failings.

Speaking of having burn, today I just beat a reno priest because I happen to have crazy burn. Shilling for myself so here’s my story:

Moral of the story is that even after turn 8 an aggro deck can kill and win if they have the burn.

Or maybe pallies are just OP :joy:

budget is low cost like the aggro dk decks

If your deck still has gas after turn 8 it isn’t an aggro deck.
Period.

Now people take any deck with a slighty decent early game and call it aggro for trying to disqualify(not that it does but they believe it do).

Aggro deck are decks with explosive early game that can win early even if you happen to try to answer the best you can.
Not whatever kills you at turn 5 because you didn’t play any card yet.

Real examples of aggro are mech rogue,totem Shaman.

Oh come on Tman we all know you hate the card cause it shuts down the Warlock Titan. You ain’t even close to an objective source on this lol.

Wrong. I don’t appreciate the card because its a one sided board clear that limits the opponents next turn which is dumb.

I wish you could see a percentage of how often I actually play Sargeras because majority of my games I don’t have the board space to play him or I can lethal you 3x over and he’s not even needed.

You clearly don’t play warlock because Sargeras isn’t as good as you make him out to be. Majority of control decks can deal with a couple cheap taunt minions and it’s hardly viable defensive strategy unless I’m playing against some weak control deck.

Please show me a Warlock deck where Sargeras is the main win condition.

I play literally every class bruh which is why I can be objective. You’re a one class dude who now has a counter against its best card. Admit it sucka. Ribbit!

You aren’t being objective. You’re just a troll trying to incite a reaction.
