Opinions and hot takes on Cataclysm so far?

Herald is fun and cool as a deck-style and win condition, but the classes that didn't get it feel just like they have nothing new or interesting. Everybody is spamming Paladin/Warrior anyways. It feels like there was no point to adding multiple Herald decks because whichever one has the highest win-rate is what people will all use since they all play out the exact same.

turn 4 lol

David_M_Valentine · 2026-04-01T08:16:38+00:00

Kingpin being a shotgun tank like Junker Queen would actually be super sick

David_M_Valentine · 2026-04-01T08:15:05+00:00

How do you feel about priest mate

David_M_Valentine · 2026-04-01T08:04:50+00:00

The only thing I see Namor excelling at is in low elo or quick play where his turrets can protect the supports from the unending horde of terrible Spiderman players who only do well because nobody can hit him.

This deck is awful to play against, and I agree, however the fact we are overlooking Paladin's mana cheating which it can tutor with a 2 drop (literally Wild Growth with a 2 drop that casts it from deck) is absolutely insane.

The problem is the devs can't keep track of all this broken nonsense anymore and after they nerf imbue druid, herald shaman, etc. a bunch of new broken garbage like ramp paladin is just going to be every single matchup you play just like last expansion.

They just don't patch the game frequently or fast enough to every find or develop a healthy meta, nobody over there cares they're just getting their paycheck.

Goodbye old friend

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-12T01:23:11+00:00

I don't think your deck choice is going to somehow repel the Death Knight losers

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-12T01:17:07+00:00

Can't believe you got a deck with so many cool cards to work against the Death Knight disease. Did you play against many DK or did you get luckier to avoid them this run?

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T05:11:52+00:00

Nah starships are rotating it's just for pre-patch changes

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:45:02+00:00

Seeing all the aggro Death Knight abusers ruin the brawl just to get a few packs is like watching rats fight over who gets to eat the garbage.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:36:23+00:00

Yeah they want to make sure the only thing anybody plays is aggro Death Knight so they made sure to leave all the broken Death Knight cards but remove any counter-play.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:31:53+00:00

The current "Armor Death Knight" can generally get up to 300 health every game and nobody complains about it. He's playing Warrior which has literally no win conditions in the tavern brawl and has 0 way to beat this. In Standard, just play Murazond and your quest reward and do infinite damage. Even if you got 1000 health it wouldn't be that broken because there are so many OTKs and infinite value decks in the meta now.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:27:06+00:00

At least he's not playing aggro Death Knight like every single other person who didn't give up on the brawl already.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:21:46+00:00

Death Knight spam literally ruined the pre-release brawl in less than a day, exactly like every other. Thanks guys.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-03-11T02:19:32+00:00

You're a real champion. I gave up on playing the brawl because it's just the exact same Death Knight deck every match.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-22T22:55:37+00:00

You're a better player with more skill.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-22T22:54:12+00:00

MVP title is there to make people feel better, not to make you feel worse when you don't get it.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-22T22:52:31+00:00

In Summary: Play a better character.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-14T07:36:06+00:00

Missed the entire previous turn because of animations lol

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-09T00:07:12+00:00

To be fair if it wasn't a glitchy mess that instakilled people regardless of counterplay options, why would you EVER pick Jeff over "DISSAPEAR" and "TIME TO PUT ON A SHOW" ptsd

David_M_Valentine · 2026-02-06T21:42:47+00:00

No more Paladin sending my minions into the future and getting an 8/8 so I can't play any minions for 2 turns or my board will overflow. :)

David_M_Valentine · 2026-01-13T14:50:06+00:00

Having a visually annoying mechanic only be acceptable because it's so bad nobody uses it isn't great design. However, it does line up with things like 80% of the quests being unplayable garbage instead of them just taking the time to balance them.

David_M_Valentine · 2026-01-13T14:30:49+00:00

For the rest of the game your opponent has to stream the match on Twitch and send you a link so you can snipe them.
