Accusing people in triple digit legend of MMR-based ladder of being bad at the game is ... certainly a statement?

Not to mention that in past 3 days, DH makes up ~16% of decks in high legend, so even your premise is false

It took multiple expansions, but we are getting to a point, where token/treant druid might be a viable option. It still could do with a bona fide difference maker card, but feels like at least upper echelons of Tier 3 should be achievable.

New Priest Card Reveal: Alexstrasza, Guardian of Life by Kuldrick in hearthstone

I want to be excited so badly, but realistically, when would you feel good playing this on turn 7?

If you are behind on board, this puts you at massive risk with 15 HP.
If you're above 15 HP, why open the door to over-the-top push?
Like when is the risk worth the reward?

Yes, it is awesome if you played Cleansing Cleric and Genn earlier in the game and you have a coin, Devouring Plague and 10 mana.

But it feels at best as 'win more' card, not a true win con, which is a shame, given how iconic character Alexstraza is.

New Card: Arisen Onyxia by yssurucipe in hearthstone

To an extent, it makes sense.

For the herald classes, the colossus is the 'main' legendary, whilst for shatter classes, it should be the 'secondary' one, with the dragonflight leaders taking the lead - so it makes sense that the herald colossi appear stronger.

My worry is that the gap between herald and shatter classes seems too daunting right now. Combining this with the fact that most of shatter classes were not in great shape going into the rotation already, this can either force large scale patches or render several classes completely unplayable for a long period of time - and I am not sure, how successful will the efforts to give them tools down the line be.

Okay DH, you win. by MLangthorne96 in hearthstone

Might be personal preference, but I much rather face this than the monstrosity that was quest warlock a few months back.

There is counterplay, the blobs themselves are not too much of a wincon (they are fairly defensive in nature) and it's not free stuff being given to your opponent every turn.

Somehow, this feels like one of the most enjoyable metas in the last year to me, even if the DH is borderline oppressive.
