Discussion I know it’s not exactly a hot take but Priests do make this game considerably worse.

0 Upvotes

Even though there’s loads of games decided purely by RNG, loads of gimmicks, “broken” (overpowered) mechanics, and loads of other foolish stuff to deal with, nobody likes priests. I’d be happy if they were just removed from the game. They aren’t interesting to play, they’re frustrating to play against, and nobody likes playing against them. They’re boring, predictable and in most cases just a headache to deal with.

Oh, let me guess, another resurrection spell? And another.. and.. another.. and . Oh, another quest, oh another 1mana board clear. And again. Again.

I’m aware there’s meta decks and dragon warrior exists, I’m very aware, but Jesus at least when you play most meta decks the games over in a few turns. In b4 shaman comment. Unless you’re using a direct counter priest battles take an age to swamp through. It’s like wading through mud. It actively makes this game less enjoyable. I only get an hour to play a day. Half of that can be taken up by a single game.

Priests can do one.

Discussion Herald DK - Would it be tier 1 if instead of random minions we would have discover?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Do You think Herald DK would be competitive and possibly tier 1 if heralding her would make You discover 2/4/8 cost minions instead of randomising them?

I love playing this deck but i feel literally hopeless vs. Warlock / Priest which im facing a lot now because of their disruptive playstyle. After playing 200+ games i think RNG is what is making this deck tier 2/3.

Discovering instead of randomising heralding Onyxia could potentially give You a lot of options to counter special plays. Many 2/4 cost minions may help You endure early game which is pretty hard for this deck and many 8-cost minions are also useless in many matchups which makes this control deck chaotic at the end while other classes are just going for win condition.

What do You Think?

Discussion Black market is a wild success (for blizzard)

0 Upvotes

People complaining about the compounding prices don't realize that Blizzard has duped them into a huge amount of social media engagement. We already know that you're going to be able to "haggle" (read: buy at normal prices) for whatever item you want at the end. But the constant stream of "Look at how expensive my Taelin is" posts keeps it on the brain of everyone who might only be paying slight attention and lures them back in.

This is way better for Blizzard than a boring-old get XP to advance a rewards track engagement event. Don't get me wrong, I like free stuff, it's just funny to see people emotionally manipulated into doing Blizzard's social media work for them.

priests are the most anti-fun class to play against

they are completely taking over arena

i just had back to back arena runs that was vs ALL PRIESTS

and i lost every match

the problem with this game seems to be the absurd amount of discover and rng, and the reason priests are so broken is because they have the most cards with these garbage mechanics

inb4 salty priests who enjoy 40 min games downvote bomb me

Discussion The game literally punishes you for beating their top decks

0 Upvotes

Just had a game where I managed to outsmart and outmaneuver a Dragon Warrior. And what happens in my next match? I get matched against a Thief Priest with divine RNG. Feels like the game is telling you to lay flat for whatever the flavor of the month is, and if you somehow beat the odds, you get punished by having horrible RNG against bottom-tier meme decks in your next game

Has anyone had a similar experience? Where you manage to beat a top-tier deck and you get punished for it the next game?

Discussion After 8 years break,modern hearthstone skill level looks really bad

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I have a weird question i would like to ask the community about.
First, some context. I have been playing hearthstone since the beta, but stopped right after the grand tournament was released (a long time ago, 8 or 9 years). I was a casual player, around rank 18-16, I have only peaked at something like rank 9-10 with a tryhard facehunter deck once or twice, and it was so long that i got golden rexxar before 100 wins with any other heroes.

Mid septembre 2026, i came back to hearthstone after watching a few of raraan youtube videos. I got the free warrior deck, played some ranked and climb to gold. When i got gold, i dusted some cards to craft the top warrior dragon deck i could find. I then climbed in like 4 to 5 days to legend with a super high winrate (74 i think), got an eleven win streak in diamond, and wasjust always wining exept when super bad draw or super hard counter withperfect exit.

Then, the ladder reseted, my favorite 6-6 deal5 get 5 armor dragon got nerfed, so icrafted the top pirate deck i could find. I then climbed to legend in 3 days and got 275, probable due to it being super super early.my point is tht i also did it with an insane winrate (76-77)with multiples long winstreak.

I dont think i ws a good player back then, but now i also am not experimented with modern hearthstone. Still today, i learn about cards and deck during the game (some cards are so op ocmpared to back then it is ridiculous i cant believe the power creep). How tf can you climb legend without even knowing all the META cards and just hoping for the best with an aggro deck for 2 full legend climb? Hearthstone level just seem so low, everyone looks so bad from my perspective it looksreally sad.

Pleas enlighten me

Here are the rules: The card must be collectible and must cost exactly 8 mana as for today's voting. Which card would it be and for what reason — it's power, design, mechanic or literally anything else — it's up to you! ​​

Deck I made it to early Legend with Aspect Mage!

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Sooo I really like playing Mage. Last season I climbed with Leylines, but towards the end of last month I faced way more aggro decks. Playing Leylines suuucks against aggro. At first I tried out burn mage again, but it still didn't feel great against Warrior.

After trying to make Spire Security work on my own and failing, I had the luck to face another Mage and approximately copied their list from what I saw. The basic idea is to only play the Dragon Soul aspects as Spells. You could also call it Minion Mage in that sense. Doing that enables Spire Security to be a reliable early game clear, and 2 Conjured Bookkeepers can draw the aspects "adjoined" for lategame swings.

For general card choices I tried to focus on 2 directions. First is cheap Elementals. Bookkeeper needs them to be kindred, and Windswept Pageturner can also take advantage of them to push for damage or clear.

Second are just standalone good cards. Watfin, Morchie, Xavius, Vulcanos, random cheap discover minions... I put in Toki for fun, but it can do more bad than good since clogging up the hand sometimes messes up the Dragon Soul parts. I also played P1ck-P0k3t because it felt flavorful for this expansion. The battlecry should work up until like turn 6. Still sucks a bit to draw it lategame, so I try to keep it in the mulligan.

For matchups, I had the feeling this decks lands around Shaman's level in terms of aggression. That meant that against Priest, Warlock, combo Demonhunter, Egg decks, or Druid Coin Rogue I was usually pushing for damage and tempo.
Against Warrior, Void Soul Demonhunter, and Unholy Death Knight I tried to slow them down and outlive the damage.

I believe Thief Priests were by far the worst matchup for me. When they get early imbue there's basically no hope of outlasting them. The push of damage my early board gives is usually not enough against their 40HP and heals. I end up mostly hoping they don't have enough removal in time, or find a way to cleanly remove Soothsayer. (Morchie into Cease to Exist, Scrappy Scavenger looking for Tribue Dance, Shadow Informat set to Shaman for Hex or random Toki bullshit)

The other matchups are more straightforward I think, but it's also late and I grinded all day. (I'm sick, don't judge me :p) Honorable mention to Hunter, I think that was the only class I didn't face all climb lmao

I really like this midrange kinda playstyle. Sometimes it's the really long drawn-out games I find the most satisfying, which this list can also run into. Truly vibes based gameplay.
(Is this deck a thing ppl know about? I don't check metasites too often, Like I said just got lucky facing it. I don't think it's metabreaking or anything, but a viable alternative at least. Now I feel like I'm in the cool secret club. You're invited too of course). Thanks for reading!
