Getting tired of facing decks that cheat a bunch of mana and OTK me with no interaction possible. So much fun to sit there and get taken from 30 to 0 before turn 10.

That’s what happens normally in every game. It may all come in a single turn or over the first 5-6 turns but the point of the game is to do just what you described in one way or another.
I haven’t seen much about this deck yet to have an opinion but the very early HSreplay data has these decks at a negative WR mostly everywhere on ladder so doesn’t seem like a problem. It probably feels terrible to lose against it, that much I’m sure.

It’s not just one deck abusing Thaddius. Theres 3 or 4 decks that abuse Thaddius to OTK you with no possible way to stop it if you haven’t won the game by turn 6 or 7.

I forgot which streamer was playing it at High Legend and winning with it. Not sure of the win rate stats yet, but that’s likely why people are trying it out and now it’s trickling down.
Zeddy also posted a video about it today so that’s another reason.

OP is likely an emissary of the salt god.
Thaddius is designed to where when it goes off it is a terrible player experience, much like nature shaman and Sif mage.

I think that’s the point of most CCGs.
Most CCGs start off with a bunch of rules by default, but then cards can manipulate those rules.
A match boils down to who can manipulate the rules better, both in advancing your own objectives and disrupting the opponent’s attempts at the same.
This is pretty much a zero sum game. If I manipulate the rules towards my favor, that pretty equals to making things unfavorable to you, and vice versa.
This is why other CCGs can speak of “turn 1” or even “turn 0” OTKs.

I put 30 murlocs in a deck and it takes people out by turn 5 like half the time.
Nerf Murlocs?
Or is this just how the game is?

Did you just claim that turn 0 OTKs are a good thing?

No, I’m just saying that’s the natural progression of CCGs

why cant all reduction cards just have the “but not less than 1” rule?

I meant 30 to 0 in one turn before turn 10

That was Savjz. He admitted though that it’s below a 50% win rate. I think in instances where decks like this exist, but are actually pretty bad is fine. It’s only when they reach disgusting win rates that it starts to become a problem.
