I’m not sure with those pirate buff, they are already good and apart anchorman they are already played in the very popular quest wild warrior, new tier 1 deck maybe with the ban of quest warlock?
“Weakness of the Quest is that they’re asking players to build a deck in a specific, sub-optimal way to reap the rewards – so the reward has to be big to motivate players to do it in the first place (usually has to contribute to you winning the game)”…….
So let’ see
Druid quest: I put on my deck a bunch of bad card (panther apart) to accomplish my quest and the reward is win the game? Nope.
Mage Quest: I put on my deck great spell and some questionable freeze spell, my reward is kill my oppo in the next 2-3 turn.
Warlock quest: I put on my deck great card that i play aniway, so my reward it’s nothing special right? Right???
“so it is unlikely that we would see Illucia’s new effect to be +1 Attack to your Charge minions” , i like this change.
Azalina cost 7 if you want to make like her, raise the cost to six (i made a discount only because it’s a class card).
5 nerf: shaman probably perpetual, DH Brute, warlock giants again, raise dead maybe (leave the damage augment the cost to 2) and another card, i don’t think is quest because must be the banned card for wild.
1 priest: Illucia make her work like Azalina the neutral legendary of witchwood (and raise the cost since it cost 7) and fire whoever invented this card;
7 buff: No idea, and for mage buff minion ONLY, and for next set/expansion give a “start of the game” legendary that work only if your deck is full of minion.
Still no blitz games :/ , i used a seedlock with nozdormu + durgan + pandaren importer + banker for extra throphy and i managed to win anyway (of course i loss against a better seedlock).
Nerfing Crystallizer is quite simple, change the text in: “trasform 5 health in 5 armor” , like the pala legendary 3/4 of rastakan (in that case it was full life -1 in armor), so crystallizer is basically the same but it’s useless for quest warlock. Nerfing giant to +12 or more mana also for standard it’s not a bad idea.
For Hsreplay it’s an “honest” 55,8%, anyway killing a “legitimate” broken deck (aka warlock) with this makes you feel on the side of justice (like farming quest mage with face hunter).
10 mana it’s still too small, 12 it’s the minimum for the giant, stealer to 6 nerf only a type of deck that it’s not the best in warlock.
The 1/3 deal 5 damage/armor must be banned in wild as for stealer that deck it’s still a cancer in wild, and if you want nerf the quest, you need to make sure that in fatigue you are simply immune and don’t reflect damage. Wake Up!!!
Well i have finished the 666 damage yesterday, so you can do the balance you want.
Personally Giant is still too cheap make cost 12 like the giant of spell. For stealer warlock? It’s not the easiest deck to play, you run out of time often, the zooish face build it’s more safe to play.
Battlemaster to 6 it’s still too cheap, luckily even convinction got nerfed so you need 8 mana. Onestly to be sure i would have changed in battlecry give windfury to one minion at 6, and its still dangerous with the sneak/divine shield minion. Anyway i’m plenty of copies of the card it’s broken and I knew it would be nerfed.
This deck is broken like hell, i reach legend today and in 16 games i lost only one to another quest warlock.
I even managed to complete the quest on turn 4 and play Tamsin with the coin!!!
I agree with the article, i would add the “but not less than (1)” at almost all card: novice (radiant), Incater’s, shadowstep, palm reading and so on. I would leave the effect in card like thaurissan because 1) it’s a legendary and 2) it’s pretty slow. Even dreampetal it’s ok, cost 7. Card that discount must be slow like these, and discover card must cost 5 or more.
Start first you win, nothing new about that.
I reached legend last sunday with elemental doomhammer shaman, hammer it’s good against mage and warlock, and lifesteal elemental it’s good against facehunter. Sure you are disadvantaged in the mirror against wack shaman, especially if you start second, otherwise good deck.
In standard no, but in wild are broken (2 at least). However 4 mana 3/3 class card give windfury to one minion vs 5/5 cost 5 neutral card double windfury, this is not power creep, this is not testing the game as always.
Raise the cost to 8 like the naga sea witch in wild, because this is the level of the card.
Dean, can you rotate dirty rat in standard? It’s really satisfy when you take away the reward of the new quests (is always a minion :D), against quest mage is basically 100 %.
