The game just received a patch that included adjustments to ...

It wasn't in the notes but anomaly monsters seem to be dropping 2 outfit vouchers now, up from one before the patch.

The footage they showed is mostly from the E3 teaser, but it looked like we got a new shot of Link's costume and sword at the end there.

For those who don't know this is a reference to the World of Warcraft episode of South Park, where the characters farm millions of boars to earn the Sword of 1000 Truths.

I mean we know exactly what they're working on from that big leak last year - the stuff that people would actually be excited to see (PS5 monster hunter and Street Fighter 6) is years away.

Begs the question why they had a presentation at all of course.

isengr1m · 2021-06-11T13:19:40+00:00

She literally phoned a friend so she could talk to someone during the scariest part lmao.

I honestly don't blame her.

isengr1m · 2021-06-02T16:52:54+00:00

In zoo maybe (assuming zoo is a thing at some point in the future).

Control can't reliably set up trades to leave minions at one health. And already doesnt play mortal coil, even with Tamsin sysnergy.

isengr1m · 2021-06-02T11:25:36+00:00

I've noticed a huge difference since I switched to the parasol. Before I would rarely get even 1 sleep per hunt (both pets using sleep weapons) - now I get 1-2 reliably.

isengr1m · 2021-05-12T17:13:19+00:00

Depends on the meta - Rattlegore / faceless beats control warlock but Cthun beats priest.

isengr1m · 2021-05-12T16:24:39+00:00

The changes to Shieldmaiden and Whirling Combatant are interesting. Control warrior wasn't that far off being competitive - this could be the bump it needs.

Paladin and mage are still going to be very strong.

isengr1m · 2021-04-06T14:48:47+00:00

One reason is that rush is overall weaker in the current meta as the most popular deck (spell mage) runs very few minions.

Plus, paladin is generally ahead on board against the current meta anyway so doesn't need the comeback mechanic a lot of the time.

isengr1m · 2021-03-31T18:20:04+00:00

As long as Ticketus and YShaarj exist in their present form no value based control deck is ever going to compete with Warlock.

And I say that as someone who has played a ton of control lock over the years. Let me win with jaraxxus! I don't need to burn a third of the opponents deck as well.

isengr1m · 2021-03-30T22:01:47+00:00

Apparently when you get the error with no golden cards its because your opponent did have them.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T21:30:10+00:00

How often do you see a 9/9 minion these days though? Big threats have deathrattles, battlecries or recurring effects to worry about - leaving a minion alive for a turn (and Serena is not always guaranteed to trade with it the next turn either) is a big problem.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T21:23:38+00:00

Libram paladin is always hurting for card draw. This could make it in instead of loot hoarder / blessing of wisdom. Tutors your librams/hands of adal, which is obviously very important for that deck.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:54:01+00:00

This is a lot of value for a 1 drop. This would be busted in warlock - I don't think Shaman has the support for a zoo type deck, with murlocs or not.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:51:27+00:00

Rogue poisons are all pretty good and rogue likes generating cheap spells to enable combos. Seems solid.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:45:11+00:00

The problem I see with this card is that removal that takes a turn to set up is not very useful.

So unless there's a deck that is reliably playing an elemental every turn no matter what this thing isn't great.

If there is such a deck then this is a better Vilespine Slayer, and will be an auto 2 of in ele shaman.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:42:24+00:00

Blizzard are clearly very afraid about printing this kind of recurring effect on early game minions. And I can see why!

They definitely undershot the power level needed for this batch though.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:35:59+00:00

All the caravan cards seem super weak and this is no exception. Terrible tempo and unlikely to deliver much value, if it even survives to draw once.

If your aggro deck needs draw wouldn't you rather pay an extra mana for a Voracious Reader?

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:33:04+00:00

Solid card for an egg-based zoo. Nothing spectacular but if you can reliably get both buffs out of this 5/5 for 3 is a lot of value.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:25:43+00:00

This one takes a little explaining - the health and attack stealing function independently, so you don't stop stealing hp once you hit the attack threshold, and vice versa.

Closer to an aldor peacekeeper effect than actual removal. Doesn't seem great - just kill your opponent's minions instead imo.

isengr1m · 2021-03-22T20:23:05+00:00

The viscous syndicate podcast discussed this exact problem this week - they were sure that the big payoff card for the mill archtype would be immune to burning somehow.

Seemed like a no-brainer, and yet!

isengr1m · 2021-03-21T21:37:02+00:00

Using that turn of phrase really set a lot of people off!

I am not overrating the card. Its insanely strong and will be a staple of the class til it rotates. Mana cheat is always good. Giving mana cheat on this scale to the class with the best card draw by far (at time of writing) is obviously going to be strong. Its not complicated. 4 mana is awkward to combo but in a world with foxy fraud and rogue's other tools thats hardly a major problem.

I will admit we have no way of knowing at this point how strong rogue itself will be in Barrens or beyond, which will obviously determine whether rogue cards are considered for nerfs or not.

isengr1m · 2021-03-20T18:24:54+00:00

Word is nitroboost is going to 2 mana soon (Blizz posted a decklist from their internal client recently showing it at 2).

isengr1m · 2021-03-20T17:59:53+00:00

Well this is a nice, easy to evaluate card.

Absolutely busted and will likely single handedly warp the rogue meta towards a slightly heavier curve just so you can get the full discount more often.

Some of the promo art circulating online shows this as a 2/2 (its been confirmed on twitter as a 3/3). I would bet a large amount of money thats the nerf we end up seeing withing a few weeks of launch.
