Terran Shaman top dog. It’s approaching 40% play rate at top legend. Two distinctive builds. An aggro swarm build and an infinite fizzle build.
Zerg DK likely tier 3. It’s very strong at building board, but the best decks do things that ignore the board and play their own game, IE weapon rogue, dungar druid, grunter hunter, etc
Dungar Druid broken as ever. Hero power druid hot on dungar druids tail
It’s funny how it took a solid 5-7 days for other people to figure out that infinite loop. I had the 5 cost minion cut immediately and was already on the road to cutting Ghost.
I did that day 1 and then got bored of the tons of DK Zerg and went to Dungar Druid and hit Legend within 2 hours with practically no losses. Might have been the easiest Legend run I’ve ever had.
Now I’m sad that everyone has my Fizzle/Triangulate thing going on as it’s no longer a surprise against emote spamming Warriors who don’t know you have infinite Triple Raynors. /sigh
Zerg DK at Tier 3 is crazy considering how insanely strong the FFU deck is.
But I 100% agree. Grunter Hunter back to doing ABJ things which has annoyed me since ABJ OTK became a thing. Cannot wait for that to die.
I am shocked the Hero Power Druid is as strong as it is. I thought once they fixed the bug it would be a meme deck and it’s hitting like a truck. Just goes to show you how versatile Druid is.
Not sure we’re looking at the same graph, but when I click your link, Zerg DK is kinda annihilating across all ranks (23,x% overall, 18,x% in top legend).
Yes, shaman is pepega with Fizzle, but beyond top legend, Zerg dominates everywhere.
Now, we’ve 8 classes and one class takes this huge lead with a single deck. Kinda should hint that something ain’t right, isn’t it?
Also, Dungar dudu and weapon rogue kinda low play rates compared to the # threads here about it. On the other side, it makes sense to see them quite up as they’re good counters to pepega DK
I wouldn’t say it’s perfectly balanced. It’s outright oppressive to anything that needs a board to win, and is incredibly difficult to control out of the game.
It’s just very bad at staying alive from off board damage.
Maybe for the new decks, but not for the old ones. Even with Weapon Rogue, which you’d probably expect belongs to the “off board damage” category, I control him out of the game (yes, by controlling board. There is no other way, nothing is faster than an army of buffed minions from turn 3 onwards, not even Weapon Rogue).
Any old shaman deck beats it. Dungar Druid beats it. Any Warlock beats it. All board decks, and there’s probably more of them, these are just the ones I can guarantee for.
Nope, you just prefer to experiment and deckbuild, rather than take an old deck and win
EDIT: Calling Dungar Druid a board-based deck is questionable. It’s probably more of a tempo-based deck, like most Druid decks.
Agreed. One of the most toxic things released in recent memory.
It really doesn’t do well if it can’t get the buffs on the zerg minions and spread that dr. If you’re able to silence or poly their minion, then they’re just easily cleared with startship parts and flat bad.
I’m not shocked it’s low tier and the play rate has been tanking over the last few days.
See, when I look at donkey I don’t see that much dk, so I don’t trust their numbers at all here.
I love being right. Said Terran Shaman was the best. Also, Zerg is VERY feast or famine. The games you lose to Infestor are rememberable, but the deck is not consistent.
DH and pally obviously need buffs. They need to probably nerf some of the pulls from star port too.
Protoss buffs should happen, but I think it would be easy to go too far with it…probably look at the cards that aren’t getting used at all rather than doing something like buffing the cards that are already good in the archetypes
Man the grunter hunter really does having a good time, I missed ethereal oracle already.
I am tired of shaman, I just do not enjoy this new direction of shaman with highroll shenanigans from raven bonus keywords. It’s freaking difficult to get past that pesky elusive taunt as hero power druid.
I do play Zerg hunter and DK as well it’s not fun playing against Shaman. Even as terran control warrior or mirror shaman whether I was using bloodlust build/fizzle build it wasn’t that fun. Some people do actually put hex for shaman mirror, 4 total hexes with thrall’s gift.
I now realize why I don’t like playing as or against zerg DK. It’s what I call flip floppy. Feast or famine.
Reminds me of plagues. You (or rather your opponent) either get the nut draws and plagues do half the work, or it never draws and you just spent all this effort for nothing.
I’d like to at minimum see tsunami buffed back to the 10 cost version. The 8 cost one just doesn’t pack enough of a punch, and mages can’t chain them anymore.
And then pass the whole game doing nothing while people gonna still scream for the one time It goes turn 5.
Yes. I’m admit i was wrong and it is a buff. No .i’m don’t want to see It back.
Skyla nerf was cause by an anomaly that was blizzard trying to design the nothingburger that exp was for mage and rogue on the fly.
Therefore since they undone It her nerf should be undone.
It’s not the whole game doing nothing. One tsunami isn’t going to be back breaking. Even on turn 5 one wasn’t enough to win most matchups.
Meanwhile we have waaaay scarier things happening on turns 5 or 6 than tsunami could hope to be.
I’d rather tsunami be better than Skyla. Skyla creates the experience of spells happening too early, and I don’t want all mage spells need to be weak just to revert her.
The issue with it is that It does not open the path for nothing.
People want to play their cards. Not Just drop a tsunami and Hope the opponent can’t clear.
Also the entire skyla situation was created exactly because they changed tsunami so i would risk saying that on individual level skyla is a weak card being hold by the tourist keyword to enter decks.
And Sorry for the joke but here It goes. Skyla is the DEI hire of mage decks as she is.
This isn’t about the wincondition. Is about the engine and about devs accepting that the entire thing was their fault and their fault alone for doing such a bad job they had to redesign cards after they went live.
Skyla is here and Will probably be our main cheat engine for atleast a year.
Tsunami is just a big spell that Will be 100% sure turned into a powercreep victim and mean absolutely nothing probably even before it rotates.
