Business as usual. Outside the questionable Maestra and Eudora buffs, have anyone see any of the buffed cards in standard?
I have been enjoying the updated Whizbang decks however.
agreed. Loved their ābuffsā to mage.
smh.
That titanographer buff is really paying dividends! I do like Arc Light Pilot being a mana cheaper, but it feels too slow in this meta.

There are atleast 2 New decks emerging in standard rn.
Maestra rogue and whizbang. Yes, whizbang is oficially as good as protoss mage.
Maestra was obvious from start and something i say for a long time.
Discover a card is Discover a card no matters what you are discovering the Idea that It has to cost more or less depending on the pool is Dumb.
And whizbang they Just overtuned a little on purpose so people could have some Fun and waste dust before It rotates.
Will be harmless in wild so why not.
everything mage is a really stupid joke.
They buffed rogue as if theyāre trying apologize to them ahead of time for shadowstep 
Iām too lazy to check, but what was buffed with whizbang decks?
I think paladin didnāt use to have warrior brann, but Iām not sure. I faced one once, that did really make a difference, but I happened to have endless value (I was either imbue priest or imbue rogue) so I just grinded him down (amazing reno came too late and too random to save him)
Faced the warrior one (lackeys, EVIL stuff) once. Not sure what was buffed with it either. Also won with imbue value.
Priest automaton is still a stupid deck whether itās buffed or not. I just conceded that one.
In unrelated news I just beat a quest warrior as my āI donāt know what my win con isā homebrew mage. Elise location discovered a discounted shalawhatsit. Shuffled my bob back into my deck (he was used to freeze board). I top deck him the turn or two after. Steal his quest reward. Got time stop. Won with that.

It for sure didnāt. The heroic deck felt very lacking. The new additions of Brann Deepminer makes a world of difference. I think a few more Showdown highlander cards are in there too.
These are the official changes per the patch log:
Warrior: All Lackeys now cost (0).
Mage: All morphing cards cost (1) less.
Paladin: Fully leans into singleton rewards.
Shaman: Expanded to 40 cards / 40 Health to better complete quests and capitalize on their rewards.
Death Knight: Added Sif as a viable win condition, along with general card quality improvements.
Hunter: Added standout Legendary minions, including two of each Windrunner sister.
Druid: Now features the Discover Mage Quest to complement its randomāDiscover theme.
Rogue: Treasure count increased from 5 to 8, with weak treasures removed from the pool.
I think the rogue deck is bugged tho, only giving one treasure as I have noticed.

Nothing? Are you crazy? The meta is all over the place now. Not to mention now Whizbang is a legit meta deck.
FYI: the Warlock one you have to actively try to lose with it so good.
Hereās the link so you can look at all the cards in the new decks.

Yea. Nothing.
I am stuck in high diamond and its been nothing but Imbue rogue/cliff dive DH/Dragon warrior.
Your experience may be different, but I have not seen anything different outside of an occassional Whizbang deck.

Change up what you are playing is your best bet. I climbed through D5 this month playing Priest myself.
Nah, I am just playing whizbang.
It is the only enjoyable thing for me right now until rotation. Just found it funny that nothing has changed regarding the decks being played in that rank tier.
Whizbaaaaaaaaaang

I havenāt seen a game against anything other than DH and Warrior in the past 20+ games in plat. Patch did literally nothing.

Could be a combination of MMR and your ladder rank. Where are you on the ladder and do you regularly make legend or get into Top 1K?
Theā¦ what now? Even checked the patch notes againā¦ What are you even talking about?
I was about to say more or less the same, but politely, such as, āYouāve gotta be kidding!ā or āAre you serious?ā.
Other than that buff to already annoying stuff (Ridiculous I say. Ridiculous - #6 by SparkyElf-2852 , and yes, youāve got a point here), Iāve lost to some clown with Whizbang, Quest Warriors are running the new legendary cardā¦ Even though the last-named in particular havenāt been a big problem, it all makes playing my old stuff (still Protoss Mage this time, heh heh, with the last Seabreeze Chalice replaced earlier by an obligatory Demolition Renovater and a Rustrot Viper, even though it was hard to let that go, with aā¦ Steamcleaner) more annoying. Mayble Iāll have to switch to Whizbang again, while thereās still time. I suppose those old Colossi have had their time already ā much more for me than that guy, even. Besides, since Iāve reached that rank already, thanks to 11 stars from the previous season 
ā gotta say, would have been annoying to climb otherwise, ā thereās not much to lose, apart from some vainglory and maybe those stars for next month, if it comes to that.
PS Gotta watch out for bugs, thoughā¦ Such as:
Would you be so kind as to substantiate such a wild theory, or even guesswork, with some facts?
I suppose not. You people always present your āMMRā conspiracy as a matter of fact.
Speaking of whichā¦
Iād say, itās not.
If anything, observing the free daily limit of wins is a much better one.
How do you think I get those stars most consistently?
PS Even found that free recipe in my Christmas notes (as a gift to the community of sane players, if you will) on the forum ā deleted, of course, but available belowā¦
Click to see the 'spoiler'
Some (hopefully) quick and thus haphazard, perhaps, notes, while Iāve got a few minutes for itā¦
I donāt even know where to start.
Opening some Mercs packs from rating rewards (I donāt even buy with excess gold them anymore) ā and, of course, itās yet another instance (Iāve lost count) of 100 Diablo coinsā¦ By the way, according to the Western calendar, at least, itās Christmas, isnāt it? Surely, they couldnāt think of something more fittingā¦ 
Oh, by the way, what do they say? āPress F to pay respectsā ā to those who (pre)purchased those DIAMOND bundles? Iāve got more portraits for those (missing only the diamond LK out of those three) than could fit in the collection.
Facing a āworthy opponentā with a MYTHIC skin and a pet? Predictably, itās such āRNGā that it rivals Dr Boom in the puzzle aspectā¦
Observing the free daily limit of wins instead of pushing and testing it? Well, what do you know: you start climbing again (go on, check my rank on some leaderboards or tracker so see how high if you wantā¦ EU serverā¦ I canāt be bothered ), as if there are no losing streaks of twenty (or fiftyā¦ or until you drop or lose count) games in a row to āzeroesā and Doom Bli$$bots ā instead, you beat those supposedly dreaded (hey, @ Shehmatik , rejoice ā Iām citing you instead of my usual self ) āveri hai MMRā 
playahz with two-digit ranks in completely ordinary gamesā¦ By the way, thatās my gift to the community, if you will ā a free recipe for those 11 stars you might want for easier farming: just remember the limit, and youāre āgood to goā. It works (unlike some unsubstantiated claims or theories about some āMMRā, by the wayā¦ but I start digressing).
Letās see how long this stays hereā¦ Go on, flag it etc ā there are no holidays for Betrayers forum paladins 
; to the rest of you, or at least those who adhere to the Western calendar ā I wish you a merry Christmas! 
Se ya.
Wrong questions, again? How about these instead: how many MYTHIC SKINS have you got, are you missing any pets from the Darkmoon roulette and, in general, how often do you play your most powerful and āmetaā card, i.e. a credit card?
I was trying to ascertain his position on ladder and if they regularly get to legend or not. They could possibly be stuck in D5-D1 or maybe they are playing in top 500 or Maybe they are Gold 5 or something. All of which generally have their own specific metas. If they get to legend often than they are playing against higher quality of players in general and that could be a factor.
Mixing effects and causes, which isnāt that uncommon, frankly speaking?
You see, people donāt win that much because they belong in ātop <some_number> <some_rank>ā, itās the other way around ā strictly.
Proof?
Such a matter-of-course tone, but, again, are there any facts to support that proposition?
Oh, thereā some hidden MMR demiurge ā nobody in the general public has seen it or knows what it is, but trust us, itās there, and yeah, it is all-knowing, all-seeing, it somehow accounts for your performance with perfect accuracy and always gives you exactly what you deserve.
Seriously?!
What kind of moron is expected to buy any of that? The same that falls for that Darkmoon roulette?
Moreover, when presented with a simple question, like: āMMR, you say? Okay, gimme a formula, an algorithm, a single number at the very least, if nothing else!ā ā you fall silent or crease your noses: what a strange person, we donāt even talk about such things, itās inappropriate!
Oh, and when presented with a much more viable or reasonable alternative theory or suggestion, you immediately decry it: one must be a crazy conspiracy loon to come up with such a RIDICULOUS proposition ā yes, definitely, thatās it, because it cannot possibly be the other way around! Never!
Just like Paladin.. I tried to build something from Librams but it is still too low on speed and value compared to current meta.. It could use some defense and 1 more card that reduce the mana cost of them.

Same. The change to Interstellar Wayfarer is nice, but still too slow.
