    (For some reason Snip Snap isn't showing up. I'm assuming @Muffinatron just hasn't updated the program for the new card, which isn't a big deal.)

    Yeah, I'm a bit behind on updates. Planning to sit down and do some updates tonight. I do have a good excuse though. Which will be revealed later in card form.

    OMG, is there a mini-muffintron on the way?

    Actually it’s good to make those decks have to play around something for once

    How do you play around it?

    the implication was that decks like res priest mech hunter conj mage etc don't have to play around shit because they can just do their thing without getting punished

    and, well, now there's a way to punish them

    keeps them honest


    as for "how do you play around plague of murlocs", i mean, same way you play around hex or polymorph. don't put all your eggs in one basket. don't make one giant fucking magnetic mech. try and put enough pressure on your opponent to force out the plague before you pop mass res or conjurer's calling or kangor's. etc etc.

    same way you play around anything in this game, force your opponent to use their resources poorly, or make a read that they don't have it.



    edit: okay well not Mass Res, that definitely fucks with Res Priest 100%.

    It also completely fucks conjurer mage as early conjurer turns are completely negated by that one card and that's not a deck that can do early game pressure at all outside early giant. Hex for single giants, plague+storm for conjurers turns and nothing sticks

    Hunter is probably the least affected because they are magnetizing to punch you in the face

    sure, but that's like saying "well i can't play giants out vs warrior because they have shield slam/execute/brawl"

    yeah, those are cards in their deck, but they need some extraordinary luck to draw all the shit they need

    conj mage has like, yknow, 4 total giants? plus some lists run rabble bouncers which is like, yeah okay if ALL your giants somehow get chewed through there's a backup option for multiple 7 drops

    conj mage can play the long game because they have more threats, they just need to play smart and safe and not go all in. or worst come to worst there's always ya boi tony

    Tool is all up to date again.

    So that's Rise of the Mech changes, Zayle the Cloak, Snippy boi and the new cards added into the Classic set.

    I also went and updated all card art they changed (aside from Eviscerate since it was such a minimal change).

    Started at Rank 10 in Wild and just steamrolled to Rank 5 w/Murloc Shaman. Something absurd like 20-7. A few streaks and a bunch of turn 4-6 steamrolling wins. About half the games I lost were just unlucky draws (Both Everyfins or no 1-2 drops after 3 turns), so I'm confident the WR could have been higher. But whatever, been pretty fun regardless.

    EU meta is anti mech hunter atm. Tried to climb from rank 5, 50 % win rate and getting nowhere after 30+ games over the last few days. So many owls, earth shocks etc.

    My go-to these days is still Murloc Shaman, Aggro Shaman, and Shudderwock Shaman.

    Ran into a Big Shaman last night, was kinda surprised to still see them kicking around, and they kicked my ass pretty hard.

    What I'm saying is that Shaman's really struggling so I'm glad to see it getting some more support next set. :rotate:

    All the talk about Owls reminds me how some people thought Shieldbreaker was going to be good during reveal season, and I haven't seen one of those included in a deck yet.

    I'm going to get up on the cross and say I'm pretty sure it was just me.

    It also highlights how very few Taunts are in the meta today.

    I run a shieldbreaker in my pirate warrior alongside two spellbreakers.

    Edit: But yes, its utility is way less than I expected it to be. I didn't really realize how often you need to do things like silence a doomsayer, silence one of your own frozen minions for lethal, silence a voidcaller, etc. until I started playing with it.

    Even though I won this game after LITERALLY 40 minutes, I think I'm just going to concede vs all warriors at this point.


    It's just not worth it... not even the victories.

    um, wow

    i wanna say this is an inherently good effect, but we also need to see what sort of other taunts/taunt support cards exist first

    i think it has extremely high potential though

    A 6/4/7 taunt is borderline playable even without text. Curving into Amani War Bear is spicy.

    Just a reminder, you want to play with Rafaam this week, because if you win with him you get a golden Rafaam's scheme card.

    I won with Rafaam by getting 3 Boom Bots to start, deathrattles trigger twice, and summon 7 Boom bots. You could say it was an explosive win.
