The reason people tend not to play Control DH is that it’s a pretty bad deck that’s overshadowed by better control decks in Warrior, Mage, and Priest.


I think people are still so obsessed over how good DH is they've missed that other decks are better.

Highly doubt this'll be the case, minions pretty much always revert to base stats when resummoned, so it will probably come back as 9/9 with a -x/-x buff on it, depending on number of deaths.

It'll depend on how the game checks for it, I think.

lol what the gently caress??

e: at first glance I thought this was a meme but this is just way better card draw for aggressive demon hunter lists than skull, with the very small exception of matchups vs. face hunter or other aggro demon hunters

yeah, it's easy to shuffle 1-2 cards and then draw 4 while making say a control priest lose 4 cards.

I love it.

Glide is bullshit and will be nerfed. I know the cards aren't destroyed but HS has always limited how much you can gently caress your opponents hand/deck

Glide is also a dead card against aggro decks that directly competes with Skull. Calm down people.

That treant totem card is pretty neat.


Shockeh posted:

At worst, at worst, it's Draw 4 for 4, in a Class that is basically cardvomit, and only doesn't empty it's hand because for some bizarre reason Blizzard thought '+draw' was a class identity.

You have to actively go out of your way to make it bad. At best, it's mad as gently caress disruption, because your hand will be empty and theirs won't be, so you've just discarded X for them and also hosed up whatever plans they had. Even if it wasn't a powerful effect (it is), it's very well situated in a Class that benefits a lot from it, and to boot it's a lovely design because it fucks around uninteractively with the other player - There's nothing they can do about it, it might just go 'lol you lose' and remove all the counterplay you were holding back.

So yeah, even if I thought it was a 'balanced' effect (whatever nebulous subjective opinion anyone has on what that means) I'd still think it's a poo poo card, because it shouldn't exist.


It's also worse than a dead card in aggro mirrors, it's not even a strictly good one in control matchups because say, Control Priest doesn't want to sit there on turn 4 with 2 Plagues of Death, Soul Mirror and Murozond or w/e.

I think it's a bit strong but people are way overreacting.

I think people are sleeping on the Studies cycle. A lot of the reviewers/streamers are immediately discounting them as "discover a card for 1 mana has always sucked" without really factoring in that the card is basically free to cast with the discount. Many of them are actually "tutoring" for pretty good stuff - dragons, spells, rush, even the spell power one is pretty good specifically for Mage.

gonna demonic studies into jaraxxus into hero power every game. :getin:

OTHER class cards have no effect.

Glide probably doesn't get nerfed immediately, just because everyone will be playing aggro, but will become more oppressive over time. Mini-Jeeves will eat 2 nerfs. First to 3 mana, then to 4 mana.

I am going to hold on to everything vaguely plyable, and only disenchant the pack filler commons until we get the first balance patch.
