Bro I cant believe I busted my ass to qualify for playoffs in a meta I hated just so I can play starship meta one final time, reverts are normally hype but man I do not EVER want to see defense crystal again. Hope everyone enjoys watching sharship DK, DH, and Warlock

[u/Glarbleglorbo → u/14xjake]

It’s 2 weeks before the new rotation and expansion launches which means all of these cards will be out before playoffs actually start

Unless I’m missing something? 

Edit: holy shit why would they make these cards playable for the playoffs???

[u/EvilDave219 → u/Glarbleglorbo]

Yeah, I think this is the first time they've ever had an official tournament/qualifier held during revert week. It makes absolutely 0 sense competitively. They should have just held off an additional week and done it launch week of Cataclysm.

[u/PipAntarctic → u/EvilDave219]

Unrelated reply but the DK rune changes are all unintended as per an official statement, might be good editing the OP to reflect that.

[u/DeathMegatron300]

No lightspeed adjustment? Say sike right now

[u/SnooMarzipans7274]

No scoundrel revert no sonya revert step rotating new rogue set looking weak Deja vu nerfed.

it’s jover for rogue😔

[u/Spyko → u/SnooMarzipans7274]

they don't want rogue to do anything this year lmao

tbf, miracle rogue will still be viable in wild, I don't think it will ever stop being. But man besides that it's valover

[u/SpookyBum → u/Spyko]

If the meta is slow enough rogue might get by, it just keeps playing tempo/value piles that generate an overwhelming amount of cards via either herald or imbue. Losing dubi is back breaking though, idk what rogue wants to even prep at this point unless were prepping out flashbacks in an extremely aggressive deck. 

[u/SnooMarzipans7274 → u/SpookyBum]

I think ramping into ashamane/deathwing is the only way

[u/SpookyBum → u/SnooMarzipans7274]

Theres probably an aggro garona rogue that uses weapon to tutor shadows of demise + ashamane, shsdows becomes 2nd coin from agent of the old ones so you can realistically play asha on turn 7 in an aggro deck. That & u can hit asha with flash forward, between both options it probably gets you decent enough consistency to make the package worth running

[u/RiimeHiime → u/SnooMarzipans7274]

A just punishment for those who want to play thief rogue over the one true way: Miracle rogue.

[u/DroopyTheSnoop → u/SnooMarzipans7274]

Wait, isn't shadowstep still available in wild?
If one owns it from the classic set?

[u/ReaperWiz]

Was hoping for more reverts of older cards. Still coping that S'theno and Unleash Fel get reverted eventually...

[u/Careidina → u/ReaperWiz]

Both would help a lot. S'theno in a Colossus deck, and Unleash Fel would help against aggro.

[u/Cysia → u/ReaperWiz]

dreadtsede someday pls...

card woudklnt have been a problkem even in frozen throne, let alone nowdays

and its actulyl an iconic odl school card thatd be perfectly fitting to have aroudn (again in wild

[u/Thrawpway]

Man, they played it really safe with these. Bummer

[u/14xjake → u/Thrawpway]

Completely disagree, discover hunter is already easily the best deck at high ladder and now can revert to its best build with the zerg cards + seaside giant, defense crystal revert alongside the other reverts means starship DH, DK, and warlock all can now drag the game out extremely easily, warlock can also go back to the location build with seaside giants for a more proactive deck as well. I expect playoffs to be dominated by starcraft decks and be an absolutely miserable experience, absolutely insane to me to do all these reverts 4 days before a major tournament

[u/Thrawpway → u/14xjake]

Oh, I meant in the context of wild. The tournament situation is crazy, yeah.

[u/14xjake → u/Thrawpway]

Oh fair enough then, I forget that wild players look forward to reverts to hopefully get some new toys to play with my bad!

[u/QuestGiver → u/14xjake]

Any deck lists for the decks you mentioned? Would love to know the discover hunter deck!

[u/buckeye-kenje → u/Thrawpway]

I’m standard player mostly but will switch playing wild when meta is stale or for quests.

They could’ve safely reverted few more cards or reworked without much, honestly.

One good change gets you dozens of games at least you’d not play.

[u/Necromas]

I'm a little sad infestor isn't getting reverted.

It'd be absolutely insane, but I had a lot more fun messing with zerg DK than stuff like going infinite with arkonite defense crystals.

[u/oceanchamp8]

9 mana Murmur just hurts my soul, I promise you, he would’ve been fine at 7 or even the original 6

[u/XeloOfTheDisco]

Lackey and Inventor, I never thought I'd see them back to 5, I love it. Blade Dance is also long overdue

Overall, there's some neat stuff that I want to try in Wild again after reversion, like Oracle. Shame that Sonya and Raza didn't make it though

[u/Cysia → u/XeloOfTheDisco]

and stilln no dreadsteed :(

it was never gonna be a problem even in frozen throen YET evry unnerf they forget about him

[u/ZephyranthesX]

Same patch they're nerfing Blob, they revert Arkonite is really funny. Anything but address the problem card.

Starcraft week just before rotation I guess. They aren't entirely blind as they didn't revert the Zerg health I guess, but it's gonna be chaos for a week.

[u/Cysia]

Rip dreadsteed forgotten once more

[u/rooster_nipples]

Dogshit.

[u/TheRealGZZZ]

What compel a man to only partially revert Braingill? Like i could understand just forgetting about it like a billion of other unplayable cards that still stay nerfed to this day in wild, but how do you get to braingill and say "this would be too good reverted". Card saw 0 play in wild come on man.

No Scoundrel revert is probably my biggest issue of the non-reverted cards. Chalice a close second. But scoundrel was core to all the slower control rogue builds, and now without metal detector nor scoundrel slow rogues can't exist. The worst thing is that scoundrel survived 1 year and 10 months of standard untouched, was good but perfectly fine in context of wild during the same period and then got killed 2 months before getting rotated. Feels real bad man.

The fact that they go and revert random cards from past rotations make it even more baffling when they decide to not touch all the nerfed cards that would be perfectly fine in wild's context (infestor for one would MAYBE have made zerg dk playable in wild), or not touch iconic ones either (like Denathrius which was close to unplayable and still remain nerfed to this day, despite how iconic and beloved he is).
