Yea I totally miss the meta when it was just flood the board with deathrattle vs now where there are like 20+ good deck types.

I'm glad there's more variety now. Those flood decks were making me angry.

+1/+1 is still too strong of an opening. Hunters and their extra 1/1 death rattle is devastating. UT isn't the problem, the problem is all the death rattle cards are so good you can afford to play a UT death rattle deck. They made the DR cards way too good.

UT being a 1/3 might make it playable? Seems OK given Mana Wyrm, the overload trogg, lightwarden etc

Using overload and "just healing" really hurt tempo in general, so I think it's a semi-unfair comparison. There are so many good deathrattle cards that are value enough to just play on their own. It's just too strong. It would be a 3/3 on turn two way too often at zero set-back like healing or using overload would give. Just my opinions though. I'm a scrub

UT being 1/3 would revive the deck to near top tier, i think

It would. There aren't many direct counters to 2/3 minion that can trade into stuff on turn 2. That would take pressure off the rest of board creatures and would snowball quickly.

T1 UT, T2 MS, T3 Animal Companion would extremely strong with the UT probably trading x2 or absorbing valuable removal, allowing AC to run wild.

The god start of T1 UT, T2 leper+mechghome, T3 MS+1mana deathrattle OR AC is even better.

I can't think of another 1 mana drop that would be a bigger frostbolt magnet than a 1/3 UT.

Yea, the whole problem with UT is that it would grow and that if you didn't have direct removal you were ****ed.

Hey, kinda like tunnel trogg...

It's a centerpiece in the most cancerous deck on ladder, overload face shaman, so I'd say yes.

I was playing priest on my friend's account before I slept. Good lord, Anduin is a klepto. I managed to thoughtsteal Antonidas and entomb Boom and Ysera.

back when I was just coming back into the game I mained priest soley because of thoughtsteal. It let me as a player with a bad collection play a bunch of legendaries. It was really fun. At least until all the thoughtsteal decks were ****. Glad to see that card being possibly playable again.

I really want miracle to be good, hoping I was just off my game/drawing **** yesterday and it'll work out. Continuing to try different lists.

The overload mechanic sets back your tempo but in most cases it's compensated by the card being way stronger than a normal card at its mana cost would be. e.g. Totem Golem is a 2 mana overload 1; that's effectively 3 mana over two turns, and 3 mana for a 3/4 gets you a Spider Tank (another card which is perfectly playable in a deck that has the necessary synergies) but the Golem actually shows up earlier.

Mickin, why is it that you don't play other classes that often? Doesn't the lack of variety get to you?

The last list you played looked good. But I think those decks need 2x coldblood rather than 1 since getting off 4 extra damage looked very relevant in a lot of your games since you were oh so close.

I disenchanted everything else to craft golden rogue cards.

Kappa

It's kinda complicated. Part is that I used to absolutely love miracle rogue. I don't really like playing oil as much as I liked miracle but I kinda fell into the rogue thing by accident. I don't mind playing the same deck over and over as much as most people. I am however really concerned that rogue isn't that good right now.

If rogue turns out not to be a very good meta class as things shake out after LoE, I will very likely be trying to branch out to other classes.

There's also the factor of what my stream viewers want, which seems to be rogue mainly. But there's a limit to how big of a competitive hit that I can be taking to please people without being really salty and having the stream suck anyway.

Oil's a funny deck in the way that it floats in and out of power.

I think it's going to be something that will be hard for blizzard to balance over time because if that deck gets another good card it could easy just get way too good. And how do you really go without printing rogue cards that wouldn't be good in oil for expansion after expansion?

Eh. If you're already legend, people will watch fun stuff. Dog has some really bad nights when he plays non-meta stuff and viewers go nuts for it anyways.

I actually think rogue is turning out to be a good class. I see more rogues now than I have in 4 or 5 months. It's just cancer shaman is the new facehunter.

It's funny watching some people trying to play miracle. I saw savjz miss lethal because he was busy cycling and not adding his damage up lol.

Oil seems to be one of the more consistent meta decks along with midrange druid. It's always viable.
