Why won't they touch Flamewaker?

This card is clearly broken in Wild. OTK should not be possible so early in the game. Blizzard, do the right thing and give it the penflinger treatment. The spring water nerf was not sufficient. Flamewaker is a problematic card that badly needs adjustment.

the sorceresses and flow allow waker to do what he does.

full deck of 0 mana spells is the problem

How can you say that? People would not make a deck of 0 mana spells if flamewaker could not do face damage. The reasoning for the penflinger nerf should apply to flamewaker as well. Sadly, people will say, ā€œIt’s Wild, leave it aloneā€. Well some people only play Wild and that’s no excuse to not adjust clearly problematic cards. The logic of ā€œfull deck of 0 mana spells is the problemā€ is like saying that the librams were the problem with penflinger.

Then Mozaki becomes a problem for the same reason (which already is, it’s just that flamewaker is far more popular and possibly better). You play your entire deck of 0 mana spell and boost her spell damage to 10+ and OTK the opponent.

What do these 2 decks have in common ? They reduce the cost of their entire deck basically to 0 and then proceed into drawing all of it for no mana.

Turns out cheating 30 mana a game is pretty powerful.

If you don’t like the balance of an unbalanced format, then don’t play that format.

in Wild, every class is capable of closing a game out pre turn 5. why single out mage?

Not every class can OTK pre turn 5. There is a difference between closing a game and OTK. The OTK for mage is insanely annoying watching the opponent draw through the whole deck and play over 30 cards

the example i gave is effectively an otk. something every class is capable of. but i guess if something jsut really rubs you the wrong way i cant argue against that.

Wild cards have been nerfed in the past and this is the prime candidate of our time. Flamewaker is broken because of the ease of a OTK at turn 5. There is no back and forth in these matches. Its wait, wait, freeze, wait, OTK. How is this even remotely acceptable?

The image you provided wasn’t an otk :frowning_face:

i know youve been really sad about flamewaker, but hes not that scary. you can climb the ladder just like i did, with a homebrew deck to boot.

It’s not even effectively an otk. Playing a big minion and loatheb doesn’t kill your opponent in 1 turn, nor is it even comparable to an early flamewaker kill.

-_-. how is a spell based deck supposed to comabt that board on turn 5, haunter? the only move he could make was concede. there was literally no other options. hence, effectively otk.

That doesn’t make it an otk :nerd_face:

ā€œGuys I played mountain giant on turn 4 and my opponent couldn’t remove it that means I’m playing an otk deckā€

youre something else.

What other class can OTK at turn 5 in Wild? Tell me. I’m a high legend and I think I’ve seen it all lol. The last time this garbage was going on, it was the tiller deck. That only lasted a week. Its been almost two months now. I just feel the need and post my feedback that the RSW nerf was not enough in the way that the hysteria nerf was enough. The time has come for a wild card nerf.
