Theorycrafting The Upcoming Hearthstone Balance Changes - Which Cards Could Get Nerfed And How?
I am not convinced about that. Of course the effect is strong, but it is strong only in combination with some Recruit effect. Otherwise, your best-case scenario is some 4-drop (or 5- drop with Coin) + Cube + Dark Pact. Suddenly it isn’t too strong. And Dark Pact isn’t used on Cube every time. I am not an Aggro player, but Warlock decks are so slow that they need to Dark Pact something else before Cube in order to survive. I agree that Cube is very strong, but cards with this power level are in every expansion.

That may work, but what’s your winrate with that deck?

Thanks for great article as always, Stonekeep. There is also one thing I would like to add to Dire Frenzy. As you mentioned, that card is unplayable in Aggro and Midrange decks. It is also unplayable in Control decks. Hunter does not have many of them (the only Control Hunter I have ever seen on ladder is my own build). And beasts have mostly no Control synergy. The only beasts in my deck are Companions (they may be good target, but it is not worth it), Spellstone Wolves (why would anyone want to shuffle these minions into his deck if not in fatigue), Scaleworms and Zombeasts (which are mostly crafted to deal with current situation). That card’s design is really cool, but not with that restriction and not on Hunter card.
I tried it. It’s afun deck to play, especially when you are fan of dragons and Warriors. The fact that it has access to even cards make it interesting to play, you can create a lot of different decks that are still viable. However, new dragons are more control-oriented which make it pretty hard to survive the early and mid-game stage. I believe that there is working deck, but I refused to find it and I am trying Dragon Mage and Dragon Hunter right now. But if you want to have fun and test your deck-building abilities, definitely give it a try
