Sorry, to edit i meant agreeing with Carnivore Apple, not with nightblade.

Agreed. In addition to this, nightxblade, Ben Brode has specifically stated in interviews that their intention is not to have all 9 classes at the same meta tier. In fact, that state alone is impossible to achieve given the nature of hearthstone. This card is good, yes, but it also requires you to have 3 well stated minions in your hand on turn 9, something that with magnetic and mechs in general might be hard to achieve. Moreover, hearthstone will never be balanced, and I don’t a reason why it should be for that matter. Every class has a deck that counters it in one way or another. Stating that all 3 classes should have opportunities to reach tier 1 is ludicrous.

People are viewing this as some sort of combo enabler when this is the opposite of its useful effect. Yes, in a combo deck where you are burning most of your cards this will not be good because more often than not this is what you will do, thereby burning the combo pieces; however, you are not seeing in the correct light.

Odd rogue is where this shines. Not only do they not care about burning cards, but they have lacked card draw for a while, and this is what has been holding it back from becoming a tier 1 list in the current meta. This is at its core ultimate infestation for rogue at 5 mana. It’s insane, period.

I’ve had a lot of success with this deck, I climbed from rank 8 to 4 in an hour. I did find sometimes, depending on what you’re running into, you can swap brann for gormok, they both work really well! Ty for posting this deck!

Is Southsea Deckhand a viable card in this deck to replace Earthen? I feel that with so many Reno decks on ladder now-a-days it could be valuable to have an OTK using South sea on an empty board.
