I thought the point of the rotations was that they didn't have to keep power creeping cards. The power levels of decks should go down drastically every time there is a rotation, then rise with each expansion until there is another rotation.

Nah, the point of rotation is that having umpteen expansions would reduce the amount of cards used by newer expansions.

I thought I also recall something about it being easier to balance / playtest with fewer cards.

To maximize dust for the upcoming HOF class I should do the following?

- Spend the dust now to create two gold versions of each card
- I get that dust back when the cards go into the HOF
- Sell the gold versions for profit

I didn't do this last year so I want to make sure I'm thinking about this correctly

it's funny to me they need to make guides for stuff like that.

If you guys want free wins on ladder, play dragon control priest. only hard matchup is control mirrors especially against divine spirit/inner fire priest. paladins are literally free wins. I've only lost 1/9 because I forgot to look at my health total towards the end of a game and should've healed face to avoid a few wonky outs. secret mages are a push but if you play smart it's easily 60/40.

the number of secret mages on the 1-5 rank ladder make absolutely no sense to me. it's all paladins and mages. what are the mages trying to counter?

aren't the mages trying to counter the control/cube locks? are there none at those ranks ( I don't play that high of a rank)?

Ladder at legend is like all priest right now, with a sprinkling of hunter.

people play secret mage because it's cheap, they aren't really trying to counter anything

Somehow I'm not seeing much Warlock on ladder right now. Lots of Priest. I am having a great time with Jade Druid.

I'm playing control mage and making aggro decks play 30 min games, it's incredible cathartic

Miracle Drood with one copy of Jade Idol and two Blossoms is in a really good spot right now.

Agree that dragon priest is good, been using zalaes list. Spiteful is kind of annoying and so are Barnes decks but they are manageable.

Cabal is just such a good card. Love it and is a huge counter to all the big decks.

yeah this is the worst meta in terms of having fun OAT.

what am i gonna play? a 4/4 on 6 that summons a big dude zzzz, warlock zzzz, flood the board pally zzzz, burn mage zzzz. 0 interesting decks and every other deck just loses horribly, standard or wild.

Big spell Mage, Lynessa OTK Paladin are two pretty competitive decks (easy good enough to hit high legend) that require some brain input

Idk. I got secret pally and maybe midrange shammy metas as being tied WOAT because both were AIDS + cancer + ebola + herpes all in one. This meta is just boring af to me. I can rush down the locks, I can control the eboladins with lock, and so forth.

All metas are r/p/s. This one just has extremely boring decks imo.

personally I prefer a meta with one tier S deck and a bunch of equal T1/T1.5 decks with 50% win rate against each other but that's probably not common either
