Why is voidcaller still in standard?

Don’t give me some BS about it not being used that often. Even once is too often. I don’t care about the stats of hte deck using it. It’s not always about something being top tier. This was in Plat 7, if it matters. I am eternlly stuck there because of Dks and BS warlock decks with either murlocs or curses or cheating out minions so big I can’t do a thing about it.

The last game, that prompted this post, the dude put voidcaller out on 4. SO, I tested it. !@#$$ing malganis. Give me a !@#$ing break. Its that card or that !@#$ing 11/11 being cheated out.

A preemptive !@#$ you to anyone defending this kind of game design. I’m not taking specifically about these cards, but in general. Its just this time it was these cards.

So I guess we can add warlock to the list of classes you hate.

Let the salt flow, your baby rage will make you stong.

Yeah, your misplay. Why are you killing a minion they WANT to die? Let them make the trade, and go to the dome while you can!

Wgat kind of deck are uou playing just curious. Because tgaddius warlock sucks generally speaking.

bro, I had a 5 attack minion on the board. It was going to come out that turn or the next. There was no avoiding it.

Never make a trade your opponent is gonna make. HS: 101 right there.
They could have drawn a Dreadlord, or the second Voidcaller, and summoned that instead of M’G.

And Thaddius isnt a Demon, hes Undead. Cant be pulled by Voidcaller.

I don’t have some cards, hence modified.

I played that deck till plat 6. Brick wall because everything is a DK. Literally everything. Its beyond aggravating.

Get rid of one cool ghul, hanmer of wrath and and truesilver champion and one copy of order in the court.

Put purator, 2x class action lawyer and disco mauls.

Starlight groove is also pretttrash change it for that 7 mana dragon anachronos

Yeah xD only for masochists though because this deck is beyond boring not like my precious enrage warrior

why didnt you destroy it because if you killed you had to have something to kill it right ?
otherwise there is no reason to kill void caller

Anyone else see that? I could have sworn I saw something… oh I know what it was, whatever yall are going on about flew right over my head. lol. Like for real, I know you are saying words, and yall can understand them. But I feel like you are using nouns in place of verbs and its just not translating to anything at all on my end. Whats the main issue tho? How are you supposed to “know” not to kill a minion or not? I am always facing folk with endless supplies of minion getting rid of abilities or minions that do it for them. It is rare a minion of mine will survive long enough to attack for a first time because of the seemingly endless options all opponents seem to possess.

the minion in question (voidcaller) puts a RANDOM demon from your hand in play when it dies. most decks that run this minion use it to cheat out large demons. so if your opponent plays this minion they probably have a demon in hand they want to get on the board for free. (example: Mal Gantis, demon makes your hero immune)

the strategy being discussed is… if you kill the voidcaller without a way to deal with the minion it will generate, you are only doing what your opponent wants you to do.
if you instead hit face and make your opponent take another turn, they MAY draw a bad demon that will get pulled instead when they inevitably trade the voidcaller themselves.
this is why you don’t kill the minion on your turn…unless you can remove it immediately.

did this help? i’m trying to explain better after our last discussion. :slight_smile:

Not even a skill issue, simply a lack of understanding why the card is run.

OP, if I look at your post history what am I going to find?

This is 100% the type of player to also play Dirty Rat on turn 2 with zero removal in hand.

If you can’t deal with the minion Voidcaller will spit out, DON’T KILL IT ON YOUR TURN. Let the enemy do it that way they can’t attack with it and it also gives you 1 more mana, 1 more card and 1 more turn chance to deal with it.

Seriously, I can’t understand why people do these stupid plays.

Every single Blood DK I face will play Dirty Rat on curve and zero way to remove the minion and then emote “WOW” when a big minion pops out.

It’s no shock to me here we have another player that gets mad at what Voidcaller summons when they kill it ON THEIR TURN.
