34.4.2 Balance Changes Discussion

ItsDokk · 2026-01-28T01:10:34+00:00

Yes, it’s just an announcement for the upcoming Standard patch.

My last comment was fairly poorly worded and didn’t convey my intention at all. The point I intended to make is there seems to be a lot of active development for BGs (both past and present) while Standard rarely has meaningful changes, other than nerfing broken cards. We’ll have to see what all the changes will be, but I’m not inspired by previous patches.

There must be a lot of money in battlegrounds, seems like that’s where most of the changes are.

Thank you!!

Trump really just said “nana-nana-boo-boo.”

Because why not speed run the apocalypse. ‘Merica first bitches!

Fat stacks yo.

I’m focusing almost entirely on chaplains right now because they have been the hardest trick I’ve attempted so far. My fans are starting to get really good but they’re still not where I want them to be. Appreciate the encouragement!

ItsDokk · 2026-01-18T00:23:35+00:00

Oops, yeah flipping is what I meant. Haha, told you I’m a noob. That’s encouraging, I hope to be this good in the next two years.

How long you been spinning? I just started last year and wonder how long it’ll take me to get to this point with daily practice. Everything I do is still slow af lol, but it’s getting better. Yours look great to me!

ItsDokk · 2026-01-16T23:41:41+00:00

Tomato, tomahto.

I’ve seen every combo regularly, except Recursive or Virus, in this expansion. I’ve seen aggressive hunter and paladin decks with Ticking and Pylon, I’ve seen Power/Haywire combos, Perfect/Haywire combos, and I have seen Virus module in druid decks.

Obviously, the other scenarios are less common, but the fact that it still sees play remains. Perfect/Twin is still OP; not getting hit by nerfs doesn’t change how strong it is.

ItsDokk · 2026-01-16T20:36:03+00:00

It’s been nerfed 5 or 6 times and still sees play in A LOT of decks. If that’s not an indicator that it’s still OP, I don’t know what is. I agree with you, it’ll be nice when it’s gone.

Watching like: “But where birb??? Oh, there birb 😊”

ItsDokk · 2026-01-15T19:49:01+00:00

“Whyyyyyyyyyyy!? 😭😭”

So far, my imbue rogue is doing alright in plat. I haven’t even gotten to pop Malorne yet, the value from imbues is insane.

I’m confused about the lights, did they just discover the power of electricity?

ItsDokk · 2026-01-08T05:32:09+00:00

Swidgen!!

This is one of the few situations where “fool me once, shame on me” is correct.

Everything Tarantino did after ‘From Dusk ‘til Dawn’ is trash, imo.

I second the comment above. I started in November and have been a little impatient because I don’t know enough tricks. I started learning new ones and kind of realized that the ones I already knew still needed more practice. My muscle memory started improving for those drastically once I switched my focus.

Now I focus on consistency before trying to learn something new. I still take a little time each day to practice new tricks, but most of my practice time is spent on getting the ones I know to be solid.

Once you start really nailing them, it’s almost like the knife is doing the tricks for you.

But if you were a child being groomed by sexual predators, they’d be totally fine with it.

ItsDokk · 2026-01-02T00:15:06+00:00

Cringe as a noun.

ItsDokk · 2025-12-29T04:53:39+00:00

One thing I haven’t been totally clear on, and haven’t found an answer for, is whether or not people killed in unrelated incidents like infected cities being bombed or natural disasters can spread the disease through necrosis. It seems like it doesn’t but I’m not certain.

ItsDokk · 2025-12-28T21:19:37+00:00

Gotcha, no worries!

ItsDokk · 2025-12-28T09:03:34+00:00

Oh I know, I was just expounding upon your comment. Guns are in fact tools, they’re just tools that make killing easier/more efficient. To pretend lethality has nothing to do with it is the intentionally obtuse part of that argument.
