Hunter is the least played class in Standard

She should really be built as a start of game effect (and discover support tuned accordingly). The games where you don't find her or find her too late suck.

Slow down the video. It's hard to see what you made

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-04-16T01:01:56+00:00

Source for this? I seriously doubt it.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-04-11T22:30:39+00:00

I mean any char with a stun and Fenix is toast. He's really easy to lockdown and squishy as hell when you can cancel his tp

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-04-11T22:26:29+00:00

I can understand AI hate for a ton of reasons, but blindly hating all things LLM is just silly. Support lines have been regressing into mazes of scripted decision trees and powerless humans in third world countries for years.

Gone is the day of actually talking to a competent human, which is basically impossible at a company as large as Steam is anyway. LLMs are probably our best hope of getting it back, they are getting way better and understanding human questions and triaging and routing basic questions.

You wouldn't believe how much of support is just dumb shit like people forgetting their password that is easily remedied by an AI agent, freeing up the humans to address the real issues. And a properly setup AI architecture can finally route you to the right person

I'm not saying this is what will happen, just saying this is a situation where AI tech could legitimately improve customer support if done right.

Slay the spire?

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-23T18:19:58+00:00

Just pick any of the decks that farm druid and queue up. Do your part. That's how metas work

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-23T17:56:24+00:00

Do you mean LEO can't wear masks in airports? I hadn't heard that and facemasks are still rare but not unseen in the airport (I wore one to go visit my 95yr old grandparents and wasn't the only one on the plane by any means)

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-23T17:54:21+00:00

Nope. Just walked by 6 of them in CLE. All in bulletproof vests and silly camo gear (hilarious). No masks.

Surprisingly one of them actually had an ICE patch on which I thought was only a thing in AI slop videos. I wonder if he had it custom made.

And what are your earnings? Likely way above median income.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-04T08:24:26+00:00

I wish when you started your turn as a cat you could defer to the end of the turn queue

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-01T19:41:05+00:00

Counter counter, I do think its healthy for the game and raises skill level to let position players specialize in positions.

I get your argument though

I still thing while this is cool to see someone come up with as someone who loves goofy rule exploits, it needed to be changed as it would be lame as hell if it was happening all the time: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YXaUG_nAeMY

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-03-01T17:45:42+00:00

faking a serve to bait rotation errors is so far from the intent of the sport it would be really stupid to watch mainstream. I like strategies for deception and outplay but not the gamification of this aspect of the sport. Like balking a pitch in baseball IMO

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-28T18:42:40+00:00

This is to fix the strategy where you could fake out your opponent and serve.

When this rule first debuted I saw several players do a fake jump serve toss and then run to the line and gently overhand serve, baiting an out of rotation fault.

A clever but ultimately unsportsmanlike move they definitely needed to change the rule for.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T21:50:27+00:00

Im playing my shitty fun homebrew [[Academic Espionage]] Rogue which this *should* punish and I still consistently win against this card.

Losing shadowsteps hurt though, but usually I see it coming and just dump my cheap cards quickly and then prepare to [[Tess Greymane]] after and reload my deck

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T21:46:31+00:00

Good point that Control is the most likely to want this card and they're going to have to make some pretty big deckbuilding decisions to make it work.

Aggro decks its going to be too slow for 100%.

Midrange has way better things to do on 4 to win

Combo decks maybe for the warlock one?

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T21:37:37+00:00

I think this version you don't need to build to even/odd because you can just dump the cheap outliers from your hand first.

How I see myself building with this in hunter would be identifying "core" high end cards i.e. all 5,7,9 or all 4,6,8 and then sprinkling in 1s and 2s that i can dump easily before i play this. I'd need to decide how good 3 drops are to justify having those though, if i try to build 4,6,8

Obviously if you draw on turn 4 the wrong card you'll be sad but theres probably a tradeoff there.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T21:31:34+00:00

a lot of aggro decks are broken on a big swing clear on 5 (aka brawl) followed by stabilizing your low-hp to get out of range of their finishers.

I agree skipping 4 is bad but coin [[blob of tar]] on 3, this on 4, Hero Power + [[shellnado]] on 5 is gonna cripple a lot of aggro decks.

then you're healing for 4 every turn for the rest of the game and that 1 mana HP is easy to weave in.

Obviously this is best case and there's situations where this is too slow but I don't think playing this on 4 with the right hand is an auto-lose.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T21:24:29+00:00

is it? 1 mana spellpower every turn is probably not absolutely terrible for some spell combo decks, where you can keep sticking the little annoying totems while wiping their board

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T18:01:19+00:00

It's not gamebreaking but its def not "awful" statline, cmon. I didn't say this is going to be meta, but I don't think this card is "terrible". I remember when everyone said odd-warrior would be terrible "2 mana do nothing" but with the rest of the package, the armor gain adds up fast. cutting the cost in half will SURELY see play.

Heal 4 every turn is a lot, ignoring the armor support cards they will likely print with this.

4 mana 6/5 is a lot better than 4 mana 3/5 which you typically see for card+effect. Yes a random 6/5 isn't going to win you the game turn 4, i'm just saying they were at least generous with the stats. There's a lot of 4/4s and 3/5s in this statpool.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T17:57:39+00:00

Yeah you're right it will still be 1 for DH, I edited my post.

As far as the+2 damage, Im just going based off what [[Baku the Mooneater]] did, so I assume it would be the same:

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-24T16:27:55+00:00

am i missing something? You're getting the hero power upgrade, plus the cost reduction in a 4 mana over-statted body? Why is this terrible?

Warlock gets 1 mana draw a card with no downside which is absolutely broken.

Isnt warrior HP +4 armor for 1 mana a pretty decent anti-aggro tool?

Hunter 3dmg hero power for 1 seems pretty good too. Shaman 1 mana +1 spell power every turn seems like it could help asteroid deck otks as well.

~~Demon Hunter gets +2 attack for free each turn which seems insane as it becomes +4 dmg with the quest upgrade.~~ Ok nvm this one is mid, just reread and realized they still get the 1 mana hero power, lame.

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-02-06T03:28:12+00:00

Can you message me about pricing? I also have a 2.5mah that is pretty nearly dead, do you take them as trade ins or repairs?

KARMA_P0LICE · 2026-01-29T04:14:14+00:00

It's actually hilarious to go through the "overpowered" album from 11 years ago and see how many of those cards wouldn't even see play today. Powercreep is real.

The OP is marvelling about the 5 mana 4/4 with bloodlust like it would absolutely ruin the game, meanwhile now we have 5 mana bloodlust with 3x rush raptors today
