I mean, watch this Theorycrafting with Regis it auto-wins no counter so all of this. Blizzard needs to fix this before releasing it just another no interacted deck we will see. I stamp the time for the tony combo.

Dang, if only somebody had spent a decent amount of time and effort a few weeks ago typing up a giant post about all the ways you can interact with, counter, and even punish Tony Warrior. Complete with thoughts on how to tech against the deck, and even counter-tech within the deck. Thatâd be a useful reference.

This going to be a tier 1 or 2 deck mark my words and shape meta around it like a lot of others have done to counter if they can.
Yes, it will probably be a meta-defining deck. And that meta will be Pure Paladin laying down double Lightray into Blood Crusader - Countess on turn 6.

I think it is going to be an annoying meme deck that will see some play for the lols but die out soon. Regis says it very clearly at the end of the video: âIf anybody is watching this or only sees this game and thinks this is a good deck; trust me, it is not a good deck. Maybe they come up with something that is better, but I doubt it. I don´t think warrior has the card draw or the survivability to make this feel reliableâ.

It is a good deck it going to push the meta to full-on aggro style to counter but letâs hope your right itâs not any good as I think could be.
Are you basing this on the single dayâs worth of theorycrafting games we saw in an unrealistic âmetaâ where people were forced to play suboptimal meme decks with no data on which to base deckbuilding?

As usual, the counter will be to kill the opponent as fast as possible, before they get their combo online. Onward to yet another aggro meta.
When will Blizzard learn?
No, Iâm talking about years of playing Hearthstone and seeing how stupid decks can shape meta just counter them. If you play control, mid-range this deck will destroy you no matter what. So that makes aggro the only real counter for this deck to kill them before they can complete the combo.
Iâve already got two Warrior lists in mind that could prey on Tony Warrior. Depending on what they use to tutor the combo pieces, it can be extremely easy to disrupt.
Dirty Rat is back in standard, by the way. Itâs a neutral. If Tony Warrior aims for consistency and only runs Tony and Steamcleaner as the sole minions (Chorus Riff exists), Dirty Rat alone will be enough to cripple the deck.

I saw Roffle playing this deck and from what I saw I wouldnât say itâs busted, but itâs actually pretty slow and since it can be countered by Dirty Rat like Sigtyr said. I wouldnât say itâs busted.
Dirty Rat is all about luck maybe Theotar could only see it as a real possible way to stop it.
This isnât even the first deck of that type.
And git outta here with that âno counterâ mess lol.
Yes, but so is the draw of warrior to tutor it and if this deck aims only for this combo it would only have few minions, so youâre odds to interrupt him are high. If tony warrior puts more minions into his deck he will decrease his chances to get his combo pieces.
Even before Tony we have this kind of deck experienced in wild with Toggwaggle and standard in the past it was annoying and strong, but it wasnât gamebreaking. People need to relax.
Theotar is way slower and might miss the minion(s). Dirty Rat automatically grabs a minion, and you can run two Rats. I bet Theotar playrate goes even lower than it already is simply because Rat usually does what you want, but faster and more often.
Yes I think that too and this might be one of the reason from the devs to add Rat into standard core set to make Theo less common.

does silent or polymorph stop you from switching the card if he dies?
Or, look at it the opposite way. Itâs a failsafe against a full on take over of control.
Why is it when anything counters control itâs like âah well this makes control unplayableâ no matter how bad/unpopular it is. But if something hard wins into aggro itâs like âwell this is needed to keep the meta healthyâ
God I hate everything
No.
Actually, Control will be the type of decks that counter this. This specific deck is more of a Combo killer. Control will have answers to this. Combo generally wonât.
If Iâm running a control deck, Iâm running Dirty Rat.
Baby Tickatus it is
Dirty Rat that you casual
