Problem is you will lose against everything else, so unless your whole point is to never advance the ladder feel free to play that

I'd definitely cut 1 cabal and use sylvanas instead. Its obviously very strong against aggro and I can see it not being terrible against control if you can get lightbomb value.

Speaking of lightbomb, I just brought it up yesterday and I love the card, but I think its easier to get amazing value off of it right now because people aren't playing around it. If that deck becomes popular its win rate against control would continue to fall because more ppl will be playing around it and the deck has no mill options so if you aren't burning any of controls cards control is heavily favored.

And after looking closer and looking at the comments that deck isn't even that strong against aggro ~66% win rate. Only play that deck if you enjoy games taking as long as possible.

Really, because face hunters are the top 3 decks for GVG even without that.

That is just going to get silly. It's more damage that goes through a taunt, and has the potential to mill more damage into your hand.

Quick Shot is an obvious example of Blizzard sacrificing the quality of the game (i.e. balance) to squeeze a little more money out of people. This card wasn't designed because hunter needed it. It was designed because everybody and their fucking dog plays face hunter, including every casual player because the deck is so cheap, so they include a card tailored specifically for that deck - even though it doesn't need a buff in the slightest - so people will buy in. The deck most buffed by this expansion is the one that least deserves to be buffed, all for profit.

I miss the days when Blizzard had integrity and didn't intentionally make their games worse in order to eke out a little more profit.

You have to remember this is only for crazy for ladder play, which is kind of a problem because there whole population plays a ton of constructed.

Face hunter is iffish in tournament play, and I believe you can still ban a class in some tournaments. Or something like that
It's a still great card even for mid range tho. For tournament play the new cards are going to be pretty sick.

Where is my tournament mode blizzard??

IMHO adding tournament mode with good rewards will make the game way more playable, and add more class depth then constructed ladder mode.
