This xpac brought me back after a year off and now I’m out again. The prep nerf has destroyed rogue, it was the identity of the whole class. All of rogues overcosted spells were balanced around prep. There was absolutely no need for this. This is every bit the same as the wild growth nerf. The problem isn’t WG or prep, it’s bull**** cards like raiding party, Myra’s or UI that were the problem.

Classes that beat Warrior were being held back by Rogue. It's a good move.

It’s a short sighted overreaction to one meta. The miscreant nerf and raiding party nerfs were enough. Rogue has been in the dumpster plenty of times with prep. This nerf, like the wild growth nerf, kills the deck the defines the class.

People don't like when Rogue is good so this type of reaction always comes.

I just don't understand this logic. Why isn't the goal of the devs to have every matchup as close as 50/50 as possible? Why in the world is it a good thing that every class has good and bad matchups??

Side-note: i noticed meta snapshot added the spell mage thing i've been talking about as a tier 2 deck in their report a few days ago: https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/d...ot-may-17-2019

The prep nerf makes me sad

The other changes are good

Havent played hearthstone in a week

Miscreant nerf was very reasonable. Nerfing both Raiding Party and Prep seems like overkill. I feel like it probably would have been better to nerf Raiding Party and Waggle Pick. If they're going to touch Prep, seems like it should at least now be a rare card rather than epic, maybe.

I've been having fun feasting on rogue with Secret Hunter the last few days after a brief hiatus from game so I'm not thrilled about the timing.

I'm a bit disappointed they didn't touch Dr. Boom but they're probably waiting to see how these rogue changes pan out.

This is awesome. I want them to keep buffing/nerfing to keep things fresh between expansions.

THEY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO BUFF CARDS!

amazing. wish they had been doing this for years. wonder if this is too late

think the new legendary is actually pretty ****ing good. Almost zilliax levels.

Crystology definitely didn’t need a buff. At 1 cost it is an absolutely insane tutor. 1 mana Pogo Hopper could also be pretty troublesome. Happy that they’re handing out buffs overall.

Think that the Prep nerf is insanely shortsighted. How many metas have we been through now where Rogue and Prep weren’t an issue?

Nailed the bottom one at least, although a previous expansion i guess makes more sense

thought i'd toss in my 2 cents as a mage main lul



Unexpected Results now maybeee useful by itself. It's a spell that gives 2 random {2}s (worth about 1.5) = 3, so at cost. Toss in that it's a spell and again, maybeee some use, but i doubt it. You need cards that give an advantage for the cost, which means you need something that uses the spell damage portion to amplify it, but so far it's been hard to fit spell damage minions into the decks.

Luna's Pocket Galaxy however had fringe use in previous patches before mage simply got better cards. There really aren't any insane deathwing dragonlord + N'zoth super value cards at 10 that you're just dying to get down.

Overall i predict fringe play and maybe some decks do work with them, but they're not gonna be world beaters

btw, snip snap will allow a OHKO combo for any priest if it goes live and works as expected.

lmfao

I think i created a really competitive deck but obviously it doesn't work if it gets popular.

The idea behind is to give Jaraxxus to our opponent and finish it with sacrificial pact or generate extra 10-20 cards to have a massive advantage against control. We have the perfect healing tools also.

We crush all the aggro decks fairly easily and control warrior. It is like 40% vs hunters deathrattle decks though. So midrange is a problem.

Nerfs are live. Days like today make me feel good for not disenchanting duplicates.

2 golden preps, 1 golden 2 normal raiding party, like 20 miscreants and an unpacked golden elysiana

that's a lot of dust

prep is still probably usable, it's basically innervate but only works with spells in a class that needs combo activators

Cyclone mage is set up quite well in this meta

I'm not sure if it's official or not, but I heard they're changing Reckless Experimenter so that the minions it affects can't cost less than 1 mana.

Yeah, it is official.
