I just discovered that Sylvanas ---> Brawl is really good. It's a Brawl you can't lose.

I never draft hunters in Arena but I had a 6 win Hunter/Mage quest today and Hunter came up as Arena choice but not Mage so I said fuck it we'll give it a shot and see how shitty hunters are in Arena. I'm at 4 and 0 right now with this deck and so far it is playing like it is constructed deck not arena. Take a look let me know how well this should do:

I would think 12 wins and a bunch a opponents with rustled jimmies for sure with that deck.

Hunters are still bullshit in constructed and as much as Gavinrad likes to say UTH isn't bullshit, UTH is bullshit. The amount of flexibility that card provides for 2 mana is absurd. 4 mana and it's deal 3 damage draw 3 cards. 5 mana and it's deal 6 damage draw 3 cards. 8 mana and it's deal 6 damage draw 3 cards and summon an 8/5. Yes you aren't always going to have the perfect play with it, but you will have some combination of those plays when the cards go down because you can just sit back and wait for it.

See, my opinion on UTH really depends on how I've been doing against it lately. I had a run of bad matches against hunters yesterday, so I'm back to thinking FUCK THAT CARD!!!

Yeah, but you really don't need to go against it to see how unbalanced it is. Just look at what it offers and look how easy it is for hunters to achieve that. Unlike other cards that rely on certain conditions to not be "dead". The condition it relies on is that your opponent doesn't have board control, which means you are already at an advantage as a hunter. And it's dirt fucking cheap.

I mean I just look at Force of Nature, then I look at UTH, and I can't help but think are you fucking kidding me.

I know it shouldn't really matter but the fact that Force of Nature is an Epic is just insult to injury.

Now normally I'd say that it's unfair to compare different class cards, because they need to be taken as a whole in consideration of what else the class offers. However since Hunter offers direct damage through their hero ability and truckloads of control, there is no reason for them to have a card as strong as UTH is currently on top of that.

I'm guessing Blizzard's number one overridding concern is total time played by class, and not at different ranks either. They never balance for the bleeding edge, we know this, so what happens in the single digit ranks isn't as important as fun for the kids and equal time across classes. Hunter was nearly dead as a class at one point. I'm guessing the fact that they haven't changed UTH again means the percentages on how much its played is closer in line with other classes now. If I had to guess I'd assume rogue is at the bottom of the pile right now.

Fucking finally I got lucky with mc gnome. Opponent had 2/3, two totems and sylvanas. Got sylvanas to turn the game completely around. Feels good man.

Yes. Looking forward to clawing my way through another endless legion of aggro decks so that I can get to 5 and run into...more aggro decks.

I'm ranking up as Hunter. I like the dynamic of having to decide to run my haste creatures into your face until I draw Timber Wolf + UTHORdo I run my creatures into your face until I draw UTH + Leeroy.

Every game you win you feel like you stole it.

Yeah I ranked up to legendary one time before they changed how the ranked system works and I haven't done anything but arena since. Arena is so mindless and addictive, you can do it while watching shows or podcasts or whatever.
