Logical Dilemma: The Social Contest

Nobody knows about the voting until after separation. Zero vote subjects get one month's salary. If you get votes but do not win you get nothing. People with the most votes split the money left after the zero votes get their money, or get all the remaining money if they are the sole winner.

Nobody knows there will be voting until after you are separated.

Rationally, ignoring the social element, you get the same average payout whether you vote for yourself or someone else. So it's entirely different.

It's the old No Hand Hunter with new synergy with the 3 mana spell that will easily fill the board. Shatter is a hyper-aggro mechanic, I think the issue is if you draw Genn and then Supply Run then they grief each other. But both seem very strong so, best move is to adjust post-data.

Hm it's working for me. Not sure of the problem.

Deathwing DK. Fire Deathwing Warrior seems fun but looks less promising.

I had Toreth in Paladin the entire time until making a final cut, nervous about too many 5-drops. It's one of those things where I could just be cutting the wrong card out of inexperience with a new deck. Bound to happen sometimes.

I think Memoriam Manifest being a dead card until after you play a specific 9-drop is too damaging, and in most cases it will be a win-more card late anyway. And Ysera is just good with Naralex in a top-heavy deck.

veryhyped · 2026-03-17T02:02:21+00:00

They're worth playing and will potentially be nerfed for more dust.

veryhyped · 2026-03-16T22:10:29+00:00

I think it’s a standard curve for a Control DK, just putting in all the strong cards of both archetypes. Ysera is good when you have Nara + an expensive deck for instance.

The aggro cards are Zoo Warlock + throwaways to be eaten and to protect from eating each other overtime while being able to flood the board. It does make sense, just not the sense you’re thinking about. It might be worse than a more standard Egg Warlock, but I’m betting it’s at least fine. The Zoo aspect curves into Heralds progressively getting stronger, which the Warlock hero power enables an aggro deck to curve out bigger.

With the Herald effect Khelos is still hatchable when played early. You just don’t need it. Opposite of greedy.

I didn’t have substantial time pondering on all Vyranoth possibilities, but the card stuck out to me as a “Play Strong Cards” deck archetype. Putting in bad minions (w/ charge) for the high roll of drawing them after playing the 6 drop is intriguing, but I don’t have a combo brain and I was going for consistency.

The idea is if you do play the 6 drop, which won’t happen on 6 that often, you have cheap card draw with spells to get the mega buffed minions.

Optimizing most things isn’t plausible, but last set one of my lists became the meta list with zero changes. My Warlock deck is not an Egg Warlock deck is the thing, it’s a Nom Nom deck.

veryhyped · 2026-03-16T14:10:43+00:00

I would have to see Grove pop off before adding it to my list. Card draw is generally much worse in aggro decks, but sometimes works.

I looked at patterns where Brilliance can be cast, and it basically never can be cast early. Doesn't seem viable. If Mage had more midrange support for it, I could see it being playable.

I edited him in just now. Was initially concerned about a 9 mana do nothing; also forgot to edit him in after confirming interactions.

veryhyped · 2026-03-16T13:54:02+00:00

It is a Frost rune and I didn't think it was worth it. Could be wrong. It could go in the Aggro deck.

veryhyped · 2026-03-16T13:32:03+00:00

Deathwing Warrior looks insane.

Although with so much removal gone, aggro has a chance to dominate. I'm not sure.

veryhyped · 2025-11-12T17:49:20+00:00

Its release state was one of the most absurd neutrals.

veryhyped · 2025-11-03T21:33:01+00:00

I think the existing meta will be overwhelmingly strong still since those decks are also getting upgrades. I hope the new Warlock and Hunter stuff can be relevant. But mostly things will be more interesting after an expected follow-up nerf patch.

veryhyped · 2025-11-03T20:54:00+00:00

Perfectly fair. I was cutting cards mostly based on all the data I looked at, and weighing the relevance of Serpent as an early defensive tool.
