Why is so much of the art either very transcoded or trying to be cartoonish kiddie shit?
Whenever i look up this question "people" are trying to gaslight me into thinking the art was always heccin wholesome silly chungus and that's total bullshit because even when we had silly cards like murlocs or whatever the artstyle wasn't so offensively pixar slop like pic related. This doesn't even look like a murloc.

The break happened around 5 years ago and it's a result of multiple factors, mainly:
-trying to appeal to chinese market which doesn't allow explicit depictions of skulls/death
-Zootopia was popular lol
-mass influx of troons into blizzard especially during/post covid
-Hearthstone had alot of MTG artists who left to work on, well, MTG.
-Matt dixon is a literal tumblr artist

As someone who recently came back after a bunch of years, don't bother. Powercreep ruined the game for me. Too many cards just vomit out way too much value and the game just feels like board clears back and forth until one player doesn't have an answer. Lost the essence of being a good strategy game. Too much random card generation too. What the fuck is that about. Did they just run out of ideas?

Standard is kind of boring, might move to wild until they patch the meta and give us more than 4 decks to play.

Dark Gifts are dumb. Also I'm trying to make Baleful work but so much shit is elusive so I can't set up an activator unless I'm willing to eat 6 damage for a turn.

i don't want to play dragon warrior without herald
herald is fun and silly and keeps the deck honest
if i drop it i'm just another metachasing netdecker
>>
>>

>>563753989
I mean I have no love for this deck either but the games are fast and it gets you to Legend quickly but it's insane that I don't draw Hold in 6 games
I have also easily played 20+ games of this deck and I still haven't seen Omen off hold ONCE

Warrior is unfixable because Blizzard always loved dragon decks being overstated just for holding a dragon in your ass. Dark Grift shit will ensure that even if by some miracle the warrior runs out of shit he can just discover something broken.

This is my combo deck on turn 4 (still won because pyro)
if you dont have answer - next game
same as OTK paladin
Also if you play 30-35 damage combo ALGO ALWAYS throw you into diaper slog (dk who has all leeches cards on t6 or quest diaper with 30armor)

Fire Patron is fun as long as the other person isn't playing Paladin or Priest. Still not sure about the new Warrior card though, killed a Slitherdrake with it but otherwise meh.

I legitimately don't give a shit how optimized this is I just want to play cards that spawn copies of themselves. I'll probably cut the Growth for another Fissure and the Blazer is just in to see if he's any reliable as removal but I'm not 100% sure yet.

>It is an elite ladder climber that settles to a middling performance at top legend due to a low skill ceiling. Not different from the story of many Paladin decks before it.

>Shouldnt they save all this dragon shit for Evoker?
evoker might not come out this decade, there will be plenty of time to make more dragon shit for it
>Or for traditional "Dragon classes" at least like Priest...
this one I agree, priest should've gotten another 1 mana dragon to make up for the 1/2 pirate that rotated
>>
>>563760430
it's all agenda they always slander paladin and say the ebin popular casino and diaper decks are actually 1 trillion iq
even though they are the popular shit that appeals to the goycattle
paladin is a class for intellectuals and thus unpopular because the average HS player is a retard and this FACT that makes casino/diaper trannies seethe

>killed control, midrange and combo
>only viable strategies are "different" flavors of aggro
>half the classes around 40% winrate, only positive winrate ones are the retarded ones like dh, hunter, shaman and paladin spamming board
>constantly die turn 5 to tryharding emoting aggro faggots if you try to play anything off meta
this game is so fucking boring right now
also why is this retard team convinced that boardstone = good game? spamming board on curve with broken shit into clicking face is as irritating as combo
the rotation did nothing but arguably even made the game worse than it already was
the game is just in the dump right now. when are the class sets coming out?
>>
>>
>>
>>563763927
I can't understand how is possible Team 5 is unable to fucking balance this game or even something simpler: Let every archetype get representation competitively. Is fucking sad.
And now let's see the new "Class Sets" because that seems to be just a new scam from this greedy motherfuckers.
>>
>>
>Paladin
Aggro with that retarded shatter card or mana cheating into impossible to clear boards because every removal was rotated out
>Warrior
Aggro with that retarded 4 mana 6/8 "conditional" dragon
"Midrange" with that retarded herald Rag that's impossible to answer so they just go face all game while emoting
>Shaman
Same shit as herald warrior different smell
>Druid
Deathrattle aggro with that retarded shatter card or "combo" with that awful RANDOM BULLSHIT GO XD dragon
>DK
Deathrattle aggro same shit as token druid different smell
>Hunter
Aggro with that retarded 3 mana replay your whole deck+sylvanas whores
>Rogue
RANDOM BULLSHIT GO XD
>Priest
RANDOM BULLSHIT GO XD
>Mage
RANDOM BULLSHIT GO XD or burn kalec highroll cope deck that's awfully unfun to play and fight against
>Rest
If all of this wasnt enough you also have Warlock and poor Warriors running that bullshit scam egg deck
This must be one of the worst meta in years. This rotation was fucking AWFUL.

while that deck is easy to play what's impressive about it is how optimized and hard to come up with the deckbuilding aspect of it is
as a paladin enjoyer i was able to discover it and played it before it was anywhere on the radar
aura paladin also takes skill because it has no discover or get out of jail for free bs and requires planning and risk management between the aura durations and trades

There are some interesting games in dumpster legend but otherwise no fun is allowed and you will face the 4 same decks from bronze to legend 96% of the games. There should be more frequent balance patches to rotate bullshit.
After the druid nerf for a while everyone was trying out shit untill we arrived at the current cancer warrior and highroll paladin stage.

I know Zach0 has that whole war thing going on but why is he getting extremely picky with what decks he puts on the report now? Warlock is too shit but Quest Mage makes the cut despite having a damn near similar winrate? DK has twice the playrate with a .5 percent winrate difference but its just not worth the extra paragraph?
Come on now.

Only Herald cards I run are Rag and Ravager and I include them mostly because Rag pushes damage, I tried Dracorex, Ysondre, and Nablya and they were all meh and the 4 cost pool sucks dick right now so summoning a 2/1 rush with a deathrattle beats aggro.
