Oof, Tomb Pillager is a huge miss.

Look up miracle rogue, you don't have emp, but should still work.

 

Rogue is busted as fuck, is how it works.


How did Beneath the Grounds end up working for you? I always kinda want to pick it, but I've had better options whenever it came up so far.

 

Took me 146 games to reach rank 5 this month and then 40 to legend. I was trying to match getting legend, 3000 wins and golden Paladin, but missed it by 3 win. Well with this I've done my annual April/May push to legend and can go back to goofing around.

 

Combo Druid is still probably the most consistently good deck there is.

 

And, to oppose it, a lot of people have been going Tempo Mage to climb. Makes for fast games and it can ruin Druids. Saw someone go from 4-Legend with Tempo in a day.

 

I've been running Oil Rogue/ Pirate Oil variations for ages. Never picked up Naxx, LOE or BRM. It's a hard climb because Oil needs to know what your opponent's going to do the turn before they do it all while planning your next two turns. That said, it's loads of fun when you win matchups. It genuinely feels like you outplayed your opponent instead of just curving out strongly.

Control warrior is almost an instant concede and priest is extremely annoying. CW has less than a 25% win rate. Not sure about Dragon Priest, but they're a personal grievance.

 

Whispers of the Old Gods will be released on 26th April for US and EU, and on the 27th for Asia. Blizzard will also be streaming this week to reveal the rest of the cards for this expansion.

 

Zoolock, Combo Druid, Tempo Mage, Secret Pally.

Control and Patron Warrior are pretty good, but not my favorite deck types to grind ladder with until higher ranks.

 

How does these decks fare?

Malylock
Handlock
Midrange paladin
Freeze mage

 

Freeze mage is decent enough. Does really well with secret pally and some zoo variants, but can struggle with druid.

Handlock is kind of outdated. Reno versions are better, and are fine I guess?

I haven't seen a maly lock in a couple seasons.

Midrange pally is /okay/ but inferior to secret, aggro, and anyfin versions.

Oil rogue is playable without LoE or BRM. Tomb Pillager is nice, but isn't as necessary for the non-Gadgetzan Auctioneer versions.

This looks fine, for example, and you should have access to all of it. I personally like having a Belcher in there, but not sure what I'd swap out - possibly BGH depending on matchup.

 

It sure is nice that Blizzard gave us a brawl that we can easily grind gold right before the expansion hits next week.

And here is a Legendary that was revealed 2 days ago:

 

RIP Druid combo. You won't really be missed.

 

Blizzard killing all combo decks with these changes. I don't mind at all.

 

They completely wreck Ancient of Lore to the point that Azure Drake will be the better replacement. Also it is funny that they left Spellbreaker alone yet nerf Keeper to a 2/2 body and upped the cost of Owl by 1.

 

I think the blade flurry nerf was overdone. Either increase the cost or make it minion only. Both kinda puts the card at warsong status.

Of course, it did hinder big rogue weapons a bit, but not enough for that nerf

 

Most decks run lore AND drake, so not really a replacement per se.

The keeper nerf is the only one I don't really agree with, I think. 2/3 could have been fine, but 2/2 guts the card a bit too much probably.

 

I'm... so shattered by the BF nerf...

 

Molten giant nerf.. Nuf said

 

I wish they'd nerf Freeze Mage (Ice block or/and Alex), that is annoying. To illustrate my hate for the deck, I played a lot of Control Warrior, while not enjoying the deck that much, just to demoralize any Freeze mage I encountered.
