That video says it all and it wasn't even staged, it happened organically according to the article.

Every night I cut a finger open, hold it over a candle, and pray to almighty Atheismo for the death of Ben Brode.

Its sad that you can sit there watching that and almost imagine sitting in game live having to deal with that whole thing play out. Its an extreme setup for that specific one, but not so extreme that it seems unrealistic at all.

Had a pretty funny OTK Shaman vs Dragon Priest. Ancestors call into Malygos with 2 crackles and 2 lightning bolts in hand. I love gimmick decks.

The only nerf that wouldn't completely destroy the deck would be nerfing Frothing. Then you could just swap frothing out for worgen and the deck would still have the majority of its potency.

That being said, I'm probably fine with the deck being destroyed, I got my golden warrior the hard way, screw everybody cruising to easy ranked wins with patron.
Thaurissan nerf would be more than good enough. The combo itself would still work, but it would make board control mean something as they would no longer be able to OTK someone at 25+ life starting from an empty board. It would also prevent battle raging yourself an entirely new hand on your combo turn so you can just combo again even if they sweep you.

Just fix the damn commander so that only 3 and below get haste. Really easy solution but Blizzard hates to admit huge mistakes. Got rolled by a perfect Patron start and a very good player. Went from 30 life at turn 8 to -8 and I had two taunts on the board. I will agree that Thaurissan was part of that being possible so on board if they ever do anything.

If we wanna talk about Emp then its pretty damn easy for druid to pop off 25+ in one turn too, nearly but not completely out of hand, after only one tick of Emp, assuming the right cards in hand. That's a lot more rare than the big patron plays though.

They obviously don't see it as a pressing problem, blue confirmed.

Yeah I like how adding a less degenerate deck that's easier to play is their idea of balancing the format.

Been having a lot of fun with this deck but could use some advice.
rrr_img_110018.jpg


I want to remove the Mukla's champ, and probably the Stalagg, Feugen setup but don't have the legends I want to replace them with(Harrison Jones, Sneed's Shredder, or even Piloted sky-golem(s).

Any advice to make this better? It works really well against aggro and can surprise other decks but feels like it needs just a bit more. Should i put in Piloted Shredders and maybe a K. Mystic instead?

They are not going to change anything until the upcoming world championships are concluded.
Why? Other games use a set of rules until a season is over, even if updates have been published or Q&As changed rules since. Aren't all those tournaments on-site anyway, so they could just run this version of all the cards?

All of the qualifiers are online and some are still going on. The world championships are November 6th and 7th. Blizzard is not going upend the entire meta with Worlds around the corner to fix a meta that's already pretty damned healthy. People being sick of Patron on ladder has more to do with ladder than it does Patron.

After, maybe.

The meta is stable and healthy you say? Excellent.

So probably on Tuesday I'll post up a thread for the first Rerolled TGT tournament. We'll probably be switching over to the conquest format without bans (so you have to win one game with each of your decks). I think the format is better overall. I might consider adding a ban, so four decks, ban one. If anyone has ideas they want to put forward for the tournament, you have till Tuesday to suggest them.

If you're gonna go with the dragon theme, go all the way. Ditch feugen and stalagg for blackwing corruptors, maybe add blackwing technicians and/or twilight drakes. Dont have 4 heals, the healbots are very reduendant and will mess up your ancestors call plays.

Fire elementals or blackwing corruptors are better than stalag/feugen mostly. I'd replace muklas with thunderbluff valiant, as he does mostly the same thing but is better at just straight winning a game if he goes unanswered. Nefarion is mostly better than chromaggus imo, I really need my 8+ drops to do something when they land, as getting them removed before they do anything just hurts too much.

The super serious advice is play something that isn't shaman, cause shamans are bad.

Stalag & Feugen are the epitome of win-more cards. Don't play them unless it is a brawl and even then, probably not.

Hell, if DR cards are marginal in the double.DR meta, they likely suck in the normal one.
