Very fun watching my board, my health, and any possible interest in playing this crap game go away when a druid can cast 9… NINE
deal 5/6 dmg to random enemies for 0 cost.
it wasnt enough we had to deal with this when Sif Mage was at the height of its popularity now we have to deal with it from druid.
Who does absolutely nothing but draw fast. They dont play board they ignore your minions, as long as they get that stupid chalice and that stupid consierge card its game over
45 damage for 0 cost!? Are these “devs” insane!?
Asked and answered. Yes.
They are the same ones who added Lamplighter to the game when Shocksplitter was a problem way back when.

Because otk and inevitability is fun and interactive. Also enables…what did they call it when naga dh was around? Ah yes…fun and exciting pop off turns (aka haha i win lul)
Patch next week. No idea if they are going to touch Druid tho.
2 warriors, 2 DK-s, 25 druids and 20 shamans - my session today xD
The warriors and DK-s are from 600 to 1k, druids and shamans top 500
The stats do not show them being 1st especially outside the top 1K (and even there it’s questionable some days). Don’t listen to Vicious Syndicate too much (they’re often full of crap); they “predicted” Druids will devastate everyone before the expansion; later (probably to save face) they insisted they still are at the top which is absolute nonsense (especially for most of the player base).
The patch is actually “brutally balanced”; I’m good at finding “unfair” decks since analyzing stats comes easily to me; last month it was easy to pick aggro paladin (most days) and go to legend that way without even any bonus stars but this month it’s very unclear (so this month it should be way harder to progress in anything (and it’s very natural as the days go on in a new expansion)).
Sludgelock vs Druid: 52% winrate
Sludgelock vs Shaman: 30% winrate
Go figure. The “broken” Druid is weaker than a 6-month old deck without a single card from the previous two expansions!
It’s safe to conclude that because I’ve been shuffling between 400-600 for days without moving, which means I’m playing against opponents of equal skills
I suspect the main reason some “experts” get it wrong, is that some decks are just TOO FAST against some “theoretically amazing” decks. I’m not sure about warlocks because I never play them (no dust) but they seem pretty fast to me whenever they kill me so it’s probably that for them too.
Yeah, sludgelock is pretty fast, ending games on turn 6 on average, and my version can sometimes steal a prolonged control game with the right order of the draw
Definitely much more enjoyable to play than the new shaman, no matter how broken it is (against me, exactly as broken as Shopper DH was before the nerf)
