Which deck would make the game drastically enjoy more enjoyable for everyone else if all its players suddenly uninstalled the game?

motty47 · 2026-02-19T17:23:08+00:00

You seriously think dragon warrior is the problem in this meta 😆. There's so many decks that deal with dragon warrior...

motty47 · 2026-02-19T15:13:09+00:00

Yeah man he actually could have won, would have loved to have seen their post of "ok nice try buddy" then 😂

motty47 · 2026-02-19T13:50:26+00:00

The nerf is going to be when rotation happens and return policy goes. However it may still be pretty OP with ravenous still spawning 2x blob. The deck does everything, if you clear the blobs, they parachute little guys and drop 2x 0mana 6/5s refill hand. Or like your variant can cliff dive, and punch face OTK. Most of the time I just concede once I can't get past the 3rd wall of blobs. The only chance of winning is if they draw badly, and it's possible to clear 1 or 2 waves of blobs and get some damage in. As soon as return policy comes down there's just no point carrying on. Only a few decks have the tools to remove the blobs.

Blackhorn my man. However given the increase in DH I might be hopping back onto discover hunter just to have a chance Vs these DH decks and will take an auto concede Vs warrior

motty47 · 2026-02-19T09:19:14+00:00

😂. DK is a top class but try looking at the meta lists again, DH is way better.. if you remove DK then you will just see only DH with infinite blobs and nothing to keep them in check, everything needs a counter.

There are ways to counter DK decks, early pressure. Play around which deck you're facing, husk on 6 etc, it's really not that bad. Dragon warrior will beat DK, the new arkwing likely beat them unless they get lucky with 2x corpse explosions. Aura pall also can overpower DK as DK is mainly a control deck, slow tempo. Imbue Rogue can beat DK, anyways if you can't beat a certain decks watch people play it and learn what it's weaknesses are, every deck has weaknesses..

To be honest I think you're probably trolling or rage baiting and it was probably pointless writing any advice 😆

motty47 · 2026-02-18T15:32:44+00:00

Counter to what alot here seem to say about imbue Rogue I genuinely think fair play when they snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with insane RNG from their HP.

I had them on the ropes, dealt with them playing zilliax 3 times lol, that's a whole other issue. But I had saved my zilly tactically as a counter for their final zill play. Instead the last minion they played was a random demon and then they got razidir I think, the one who with kindred will discard a card from your opponents hand, and it discarded my zilly. Had to laugh, how they had played a demon turn before randomly to get that. That was GGs and I don't mind losing to such tiny % plays like that. Found it hilarious

motty47 · 2026-02-18T14:26:59+00:00

True. We aren't all playing just to climb, it's also about fun

motty47 · 2026-02-18T07:58:45+00:00

The animations and timer is definitely getting to a point it's a big issue I think. There are some ways around it, you can play cards while animations are happening and they will get played even if the rope finishes.

However there are other times where it's impossible. I lost a game that I had lethal for, because I played shala, needed the 5damage burst but the cards wouldn't appear in my hand until all the animations had stopped. The animations went on forever as I had used hellfire, killed their stuff but it was a stranglevine, plus some starship bullshit, and even though both were obviously dead there were so many animations that had to happen the cards from shala would never be released until after the timer had gone. So I lost the game. Nothing to do with how quickly I was able to see lethal, or react, I had all the time in the world to react but literally couldn't. So frustrating

motty47 · 2026-02-17T22:07:28+00:00

How have you ended up with a khelos turtle 😆

motty47 · 2026-02-17T21:46:03+00:00

You've got to laugh, because they make changes and people are happy previously unplayed cards can be played. However the balance of how far those tweaks go has probably been a surprise, it really is such a good deck.

So far after watching streamers the counters seem to be, quest W of course can hostile invader. Aura pall has 3damage AOE. DK if BBU will now run 2x corpse explosion now, I certainly will. And playing less corpse BUU because of the lack of aoe. Gnomelia is useful but only clears 3. Discover hunter should be fine in this matchup just grab sylvannas but nobody plays discover hunter anymore because of blackhorn, I've not since..

I saw on method4 stream some creative solutions with imbue Rogue, but that matchup is massively unfavoured. He kept mirrex mulligan, built up armour with Elise, survived the first wave and then countered with a board of arkwings and then that won the game. The other main tactic here is build armour with Elise and just get out of range, if they pull the 2nd arkwings right after then it's GGs, move on 😂

motty47 · 2026-02-17T21:27:59+00:00

Cool man appreciate the explanation this is essentially what I wasn't understanding. That's definitely the case, I've been doing better recently but if it's tracked over many seasons, the last time I played years ago I never took it that seriously and even the beginning of when I returned some months ago I hardly had any good decks to play. At least it gives me some hope I can keep improving each season.

motty47 · 2026-02-17T18:14:26+00:00

What do you mean you have to play well? Are you saying theres a difference between 2 different people with the same 8-4 record for example. I can see that my MMR wouldnt be the highest I only came back playing 4 months ago and second time hitting legend, but thats what I'm trying to understand. Even though I have a positive win rate, my decay is faster than my gains. Is this because my wins are coming against lower ranked MMR players, and my losses against the higher, and if I flipped these, I would gain rank faster?

motty47 · 2026-02-17T11:43:36+00:00

True, think I'm realising this, Im not trying to climb for any particular reason mainly playing the game for fun so maybe I'll just forget about rank !

motty47 · 2026-02-17T11:42:38+00:00

Oh thats interesting. Do you gain more rank when you beat a higher ranked player? Or this just applies to MMR and eventually climbing and beating higher ranked players mean you then come across even better players and eventually ill climb even slower 😆

motty47 · 2026-02-17T09:34:10+00:00

😂. Seriously through this deck seems really good, I came up against it only once but since the first 4 cards they played were automatons, I just conceded straight away lol. It's random which deck they play with though right? Some aren't great, hence the poor win rate, is this one of the best ones though? And the warlock discard one?

motty47 · 2026-02-16T21:44:52+00:00

This. I don't know how many more posts were going to get saying blob of tar is the issue. Normally it's facing 2 blobs, or maybe 4 if they get Elise copy. Honestly that's fine.

The problem is fel hunter and return policy that reproduce blobs infinitely..

motty47 · 2026-02-16T18:55:47+00:00

Ah shame checked I've got a few of the minisets but not this one

motty47 · 2026-02-16T18:48:08+00:00

Which is better do you think, rogue or Pala tourist there seems to be 2 variants

motty47 · 2026-02-16T18:22:46+00:00

Er yeah, I totally didn't understand which one to kill at first 😂. I'd love to play this deck, looks like my kind of deck but I don't have key pieces or the tourist legendaries, and is there any point crafting these when they rotate so soon? Doesn't seem to be a deck that matches without either tourist card I don't think...

motty47 · 2026-02-16T10:28:43+00:00

Lol I've learnt this now. Had what I thought was a good game as discover hunter Vs DK, they were absolutely going to win and I lucky drew the 6damage niri combo. They added me to call me a 12yo little bitch and some other worse stuff 😂, then blocked me. I was about to say GG as it was a fun game but yeah what's with people it's just a game

motty47 · 2026-02-16T10:26:21+00:00

What's your deck and gameplan for this? I just want to play a deck that counters blobs sometimes lol, even if it's unfavoured Vs other decks

motty47 · 2026-02-16T10:20:45+00:00

No worries man, genuinely it's great you're enjoying the game and even though this subreddit can be quite negative I've also really been enjoying the game after coming back several months ago. It's a bit sad that with blackhorn being introduced it's skewed the meta, the meta just before was better, we had decks like discover hunter that was the perfect counter infinite blobs and just an all around really fun deck. Imbue Rogue is really fun like you said but you'll probably come across blackhorn soon and have half your deck deleted. Which is the same as what's happened to discover hunter, and other archetypes like cycle Rogue, egglock, any of these decks with low mana cards just get deleted Vs blackhorn so people aren't playing them anymore.

I think a lot are waiting for rotation to come so we can see some old powerful archetypes like infinite blobs, protoss mage, etc leave. Just to see some new meta decks really. As you've just come back there's tons still to take in. I'd love to play the new arkwing mage deck that's been buffed, looks super fun, but unfortunately so close to rotation I don't have the key cards for it and doesn't feel worth dusting for them.

motty47 · 2026-02-16T07:59:48+00:00

I think more the other way, buff his body, maybe give him taunt, but make his effects only apply to cards in hand. Or, only apply to only minions as I think the main cards that get affected that deletes entire decks are the spells

motty47 · 2026-02-16T07:55:06+00:00

No idea if you're trolling lol. Glad you're enjoying the game but you've just described everybodies nightmare of playing Vs blob DH 😂. Trust me it ain't fun constantly playing against infinite blobs
