Not everyone likes "cheesy"In a competitive environment (which I assume is what people talk about when they say a class is OP or too weak), people tend to not want "cheesy" decks. Cheesy decks tend to be less reliable because of too much RNG, which usually makes wins/losses feel like it's not a result of meaningful player decisions, but just roll of the dice.02/25/2019 01:00 PMPosted by FlarkyouRogue decks feel kinda…

In a vacuum, it's somewhat costly for what it does, but do consider that1) It's a basic card, you don't even need to open packs to get it.2) Priest as a class has a history of being given other (better) ways along the same theme of turning the opponent's deck against them.3) As with most other cards, how viable it is depends a lot on the meta

"Why do the devs make the game about anything but minion combat?"Because the players asked for it.Before standard, constructed HS used to be not so different from arena and some tavern brawls, where fighting for board and minion combat is still a thing from almost the first turn. This in turn made it more difficult to run combo decks or even control decks (since your deck can't afford that many combo pieces... you need to run some early minions and stuff)...but the players often ridiculed that HS back in the day as "curvestone" or "tempostone" (Morthasa alluded to it)With introduction of stand…

02/12/2019 12:54 PMPosted by StreakYou guys ever hear that saying, 'Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one that yelps is the one that's hit'?No? Eh, maybe it's just an Arkansas thing. Or an old-guy thing.Anyway, I always think of that when I see one of these salty responses on the forum.The OP criticizing OTK decks was the rock being thrown. And Dark Army calling everyone who agreed with the OP a bunch of cry babies is the OTK dog yelping.Obviously, criticism of his deck choice stings a little. Wonder why that is?Funny thing is, I wasn't even agreeing with the OP or complaining about OT…

02/12/2019 11:47 AMPosted by TheDarkArmya strategy that requires someone to correctly play all of their deck cards.Combo/otk decks actually requires less "correctly play all of their deck cards", since their finishing combo is already decided.While another deck has to play all 30 of their cards correctly, a combo/otk deck only need to play correctly 30-n cards, with n being their finishing comboNow some might say "well they have to play those 30-n cards MORE correctly". That's not really true either. Most combo/otk are running removals, card draw, and heals/armor/stalls. Most of these effects …

"Best" way is having transform effects, but not every class has them, and even if you do, they probably run more threats than you do transform effects The res priest strategy is one that wins in the long game, so the two most logical answers are1) Kill him before he gets his resses going2) Have you own degenerate late game combo and try to reach your win condition before himWhat is available to you depends on your class.Then there are tactics.Avoid killing what he summons from shadow essence. That gives him a good minion to res.Transform and silences will be important, but timing them will be …

02/10/2019 03:09 PMPosted by DoomBringerThe thing is, upcoming cards will absolutely be balanced around the existence of "Odd/Even" The thing with genn/baku decks is that they really aren't about abusing one or two OP cards, but operate on "whole is greater than sum of its parts".Just looking up vs decklist, here's what odd pallies will be losing next expansion:righteous protectorlost in the junglefire flyacherus veteranunidentified maulstonehillfungalmancercorridor creepervine cleaverIt's hard to pin point any one of those cards as OP, so you can''t really "balance around" odd/even.I think th…
