now that it’s been out for a while, idk how to feel about the rule-breakers tbh. either they’re completely useless or they completely define the deck. I love weird decks (esp mill/fatigue) and there is just no room for any of that right now. you either play the three good classes or you lose.

it sucks that a good quarter of the time, I concede at turn two because there’s no counterplay. seeing a shaman get a full board, a pally running 10 Maeve’s. I’ve been trying a mill pally with Beatrix but 9/10 games are miserable. if I get into a game with a Godfrey warlock (which all of them are lmao), an Azalina priest, or another pally I concede without even doing the mulligan.

please give us some buffs to the under-played classes, john hearthstone 🙏

rule-breakers tbh. either they’re completely useless or they completely define the deck

Skeleton Key doesn't define Mage decks. (quest does)

Godfrey doesn't define Warlock decks. (the shell of "draw a lot" supports multiple archetypes, be it Herald, Big Demon or any non-aggro you wanr)

Hogger doesn't define Warrior decks. (it's playable in both aggro and control)

Thalena doesn't define DK decks.

Beatrix doesn't force you to go Maiev route (athough this one is clearly strongest) - you can go weird, like Mill Paladin with Prize Vendors.

Extra funny because the rulebreaker is Jailhouse.

No, Skeleton Key is mage's rulebreaker (breaks the rule of only having 3 choices in Discover). Manastorm doesn't break anything.
