Hearthstone?! (Blizzard online card game) - Page 1324 - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Like ~every card in the last wing is pushing either value decks, or delayed tempo swings. I can see a ton of them seeing play. The druid portal card might be OP the more I think of it. It's way better than Ivory Knight. Wayyyyyy better imo. Heal for exactly 6, consistently, on turn 6 (so, not too slow), and summon a 6 drop (lolwut), and add spell to yogg. From the text, I assume you can even heal minions, which is amazing. It seemed solid when I first saw it, but now I'm thinking totally insane.

There aren't a lot of bad 6 drops either, firelands portal struggles with some really awful 5's

Yeah, I think it's better than maiden even. It has synergy with how you want to build druid just by being a spell, which might not quite be shieldslam synergy, but quite good. But a random 6 drop >>>> vanilla 5/5.

Its another tool in the yogg ramp toolkits and it seems on the surface playable so thats a win.

Feels like druids main issue, and its been a consistent issue forever, is they are the only class (outside of a yoloyogg) which can wipe the board.

oh god tempo mage is tier 1 on tempostorm

don't know whether to be annoyed because ladder's gonna be annoying next month or be happy because it's a list pretty similar to the one i thought up on my own last week

also i swear to god yogg saron is the best card ever printed on just pure salt factor. the tempo mage deck has ridiculous yoggs that actually are able to come out and play

I made a variation of this, don't have Tirion though which is pretty much key to the deck so got crushed by Mor's 40-spell Yogg turn the other day welpface

It's a lot of fun though and requires some thinking, much more satisfying to win with than a mindless face deck (though again you ain't winning consistently without Tirion)

I think the meta will correct itself rather soon. At the moment face shaman is insanely strong with hunter keeping the numbers of non combo warriors in check so people will probably start running a lot of zoo and if that's the case warrior should look pretty good again.
That is of course unless the adventure makes a new strong archetype possible

The problem is even with less warriors and more hunters, zoo is no longer favored vs aggro shaman, its gotta be like 50/50 at best. Most recent data report with 7/20 - 8/23 has it at 50/50 but the live tracker has zoo at 47%. Think its because the post-adventure lists are running a maelstrom portal and 1-2 lightning storms which wreck zoo (and also help the token druid matchup).

Midrange shaman seems bad now, losing 2 out of 3 lately when before it was 50% even on my worst days

There will be tons of Zoo after their new one drop gets released this week

I think you might see the Token Druid lists change a bit, as Medivh and Moonglade Portal are both playable and Token Druid has a lot of replaceable cards.

This expansion didn't really change much near the top of the tier list. Secret Hunter redid the Midrange Hunter early game and that's about it.

this adventure did a good job or pushing the meta to almost all 50/50s

the next 2-3 months leading up to blizzcon and the card xpac should at least be fun and not shaman/warriorstone

My desire to play a lot has for some reason been sapped, it isn't that I don't enjoy the game it's just I rarely seem to play more than the daily quests lol.

My routine is to play twice a week. Start by clearing out all NA quests, then Asia, then EU. I usually start monkey tilting a few games into Asia quests and by the time I'm done with the EU quests I swear to myself that it's the last time I ever play the game.

It's not dumpster fire, but it's not as good as it once was, at the very least. I've pretty much just been bouncing between rank 4 and 5 the past few days with it.
