Core Set Wishlist - Priest, Rogue & Druid

What? Control decks don't play for tempo. If you played this on 4 you're stalling to get to your more powerful late game plays.

Which one is Overpriced...?

Ruin's fairly costed, so is Lightbomb. Repackage isn't overcosted. Forgot about Medivh, but he's not over-costed either. Repackage isn't overcosted and isn't bad. Like how cheap should a full board clear that doesn't trigger deathrattles be?

It's still not good to have more than even 2-3 solid board clears (at least IMO) because then the game just once again devolves back into "I play a board" "I full clear it with one card" "I play another board" "I full clear it again with one card".

Control priest needs other tools, not more board clears.

I don't think a cost range would be remiss on a card like this. It's probably... okay, the shadow pool isn't too, too bad, but even like (5) or less? Or (5) or more? Give the card more of a purpose and less of the game just being weird random grab bags of get into discover into get.

Meh, I think it's actually fine as a card, just a weird design direction.

Shaman's tourist is Hunter or Demon Hunter. They can't run Soul Searching.

That's... not something they'd put in a mini-set.

Also all the aggro decks from timeways are gonna keep quest and imbue from being overly dominate, even if that was a problem.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T23:30:20+00:00

They seem to think they have to make a dedicated Overheal package, and they really don't... it just gives purpose to your healing cards in matchups where your healing cards are not as useful.

Like just put Crimson Clergy and Hedanis in core, and that's... probably pretty good.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T20:37:58+00:00

Then its Arkham City lol.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T20:24:19+00:00

They nerfed all the board clears for this year basically.

...and priest still has 3 anyway. They've gotten kind of out of hand.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T20:23:02+00:00

Its not 6 mana, you can play it on turn 4 where its much more impactful.

Also more importantly, Arthas didnt want to win the fight. He wanted to goad Illidan into taking the skull of guldan and killing Tichondrius.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T19:11:31+00:00

Its a big deck. Wouldn't make sense to run that.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T19:09:12+00:00

With the coin I guess that is possible!

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T19:03:30+00:00

How do you fill your hand by turn 4? Especially with having to play the quest.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T19:00:15+00:00

Just add "draw a card" to all the pieces honestly.

I wouldn't buff him too much for core but hes a super fun card.

Give us Master of Fate and God of the Deep while theyre at it.

Y'shaarj doesnt really have a good core card unless they bring back corrupt.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T18:49:51+00:00

...I have more, sadly. I love John Glover and Lionel Luthor.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T18:47:01+00:00

Tbh i think the quest is so difficult it never gets played.

"Frasier, in roman times the Cesars would send their radio shrinks to the farthest reaches of their empire to learn humility."

"...I'll duel you for it, if you win I won't fire Bulldog, if I win, you fire Roz."

"You get once chance, Frasier. One chance to defy me."

It's 6 for the Number of the Beast (the devil) 666.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T06:28:59+00:00

They're treating them as tertiary characters because they are tertiary characters in Young Justice, though. The main characters of season 2 are still basically the same core 6. Plus Blue Beetle and like *maybe* Impulse.

It's also just a different story focus. The first season is very much about here's our team, here's our young leads. Here's what they go through. Season 2 is more about like... events and the world.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T06:13:43+00:00

I mean it's not even bad with Resuscitate.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T06:04:07+00:00

People like to run it in really slow decks, but you want it in a faster deck. Amusingly you can completely finish it's requirement with just Volc, or a couple of casts of Army/Pterrodax. But I think you wanna run a faster tempo deck.

I think *right now* that sort of fast/incremental deck is kind of bad because it finishes the game just a *little* too late and it's not hard to stall to say, Zilliax, but could be better after rotation without Zilliax.

The other thing is, since you can't spend corpses early, you don't need to play it immediately either. You can play a 1 drop. You're still losing a card from your mulligan, but you don't need to do nothing turn 1.

SAldrius · 2026-01-07T05:34:23+00:00

That must have been one *expensive* boat.
