@jakeyp0096 I'd argue their vision for the game is to nerf the perceived best deck every few weeks.
They seem intent on hitting certain % targets for win rate and play rate while ignoring whether or not the game is fun to play.
took a few detours on the way to legend this season but finished off the climb with a burn mage @DmoneyBrand tweeted

I'll be curious to see if this is powerful enough to over come going second every game. whats the over/under win rate for a deck always going second in the next expansion?
@ZeddyHS It only does those if you've already previously spent mana and cards juicing. Confront The Tol'vir is 3 mana do nothing on its own.
Why aren't good cards allowed to exist?
@Avoristrib I haven't watched Twitch since i saw ads (1 of 12) and that was months ago. I'm willing to watch ads if it keeps the lights on for the company and creators, but there's a line somewhere. Not sure where exactly that line is, but 8 to 12 ads is pretty far over the line for me.
@imik_plays i think i was hallucinating while watching the vid because i thought they said they wanted to make leyline better against aggro. theres just no way they looked at the mage changes and said this helps against aggro
@SilentNickHS I think it shows their balance philosophy for the rest of the year with class sets. If your favorite class doesn't get a class set you'll likely be playing the same deck or two for 4 months straight
Leyline Mage getting 3 buffs seems like they are really trying to move the needle with this deck. If all 3 cards are simply made 1 mana cheaper I'm afraid the deck will still be too slow. If Surge Needle stays 4 mana and gets a stat buff I'll ROFL out of my chair.
π§ββοΈ π New balance changes are coming!
Make sure to check back in tomorrow for the detailed list of changes to both Standard and Battlegrounds!
@jakeyp0096 I'm probably just a goof but I feel like very loud voices in the community wanted the power level reduced to simply trading 1/1 minions. Over the last year it's almost become that.
My latest Youtube video covers Aggro Token Druid and how it's currently punishing the class set meta. I rode the deck to legend going 17 - 6. With an average game time of just under 5 min the climbing speed is a bit absurd. Stike while the iron is hot!
@anniefuchsia@34lego88 This is an interesting framing. Is not earning a reward punitive?
Does increasing rewards for some players take something away from other players?
