Cancer pally, face hunter, tempo mage, patron... Fuck this game. It has been the same old shit for half a year, if not more. TGT was a moronic expansion that changed almost nothing.

Yeah, whoever came up with the idea for the Mysterious Challenger card deserves a goblin mecha-blast rocket up his ass. I guess it's time to quit this piece of shit for once.

Meh. They'll announce another adventure for December or January. No big surprise. Hopefully this time it'll have more than four worthwhile cards.

Or hopefully not because any worthwhile cards they release usually end up in super cancer decks.

Did you know that according to Blizzard patron warrior is fine because it's a "difficult deck to play correctly"? Doesn't seem to matter that you can win with it even if you play like a retard.
Or that secret paladin if fine because "it doesn't kill you in one turn you see it coming", whatever that means.

I can't explain how they thought Mysterious Challenger was balanced. A 6/6 with 5 mana worth of secrets for only 6 mana? So you're paying 1 mana for a 6/6. Seems legit. And people think Mad Scientist is too strong but at least that has to DIE before the secret is played and you can always silence it for tempo reasons.

They like Mysterious Challenger because to use it most effectively you need to have all wings of Naxx, in order to get Avenge.

It is not a coincidence that most cancer decks include adventure cards (Patron, Emperor, Scientist, Avenge w. Challenger, etc). Huntards also used to have Undertake, which usually meant game won if they played it early.

The Mysterious Challenger redeemed the Pally's shitty secrets though. It's way of buffing older cards without really touching them.

Played against a secrets Paladin for the first time ever as a Rogue. Got BTFO. I'm not sure if I can do better just by having more experience against it, but that does feel like a very powerful deck. Definitely something that would prey upon newbies as secrets are getting harder and harder to play around with there being so many.

I was dicking around with secret pally over the weekend. Won 5 out of 5 games and had 0 fun. Deck is strong but fucking boring to play. No idea how people can stomach the tedium of grinding it up the ladder.

I just got from rank 6 to rank 3 without losing a single game playing pirate rogue. I never imagined it could be actually viable on ladder. Anyway I lost the next two matches so I called it a day.

The creepy thing is, lorewise, Anduin is 20ish and Jaina is probably close to 40.

Strap Yourselves In Pathfinder: Wrath
Lorewise, I thought they made him a teenager (15-16), so even creepier than that.

The following balance change will be made in an upcoming patch:

Warsong Commander now reads: Your Charge minions have +1 Attack.

Wow, literally killing Patron warrior. Guess Blizzard wants people to play Secret Paladin or something.
