Warrior got hit harder than Mage because Demon Hunter got 3 cards nerfed. Any nerf to Demon Hunter is an indirect nerf to Warrior, because having fewer Demon Hunters to feast on will negatively impact its winrate.

It’s already not at the top. Enrage Warrior is head and shoulders above the rest at Legend and Face Hunter and even well played and well teched Rogues and Mages have also now managed to get above 50% against it. Demon Hunter is only a problem at low ranks, at higher ranks they’re quite well countered already. In fact, I feel like the nerfs to Warriors aren’t enough. That deck dominates and the new form it acquired this week was already performing better than the old one, which was already the best deck in the game.

Pogo rogue still works:

Pogohopper
Mechwarper
Galvanizer
Sn1P-Sn4p

Feeling dumb about your comment yet? Is Demon Hunter dead?

“Currently, we aren’t putting any restrictions on which sets can be played within it”

That means no rotation.

I also don’t think it will be constructed.

I also disagree with rotating arena being better than standard arena. Like most dedicated arena players, I’ve found the new system, with unbalanced wild cards, unintended synergies and no more buckets, to be very lacking. In fact, most arena streamers have now stopped streaming arena altogether.

It’s not a hall of fame, it’s nerfs. You can disenchant them at full dust value for two weeks after the nerfs, that’s it.

There’s no way Demon Hunter is dead. First, it’s so powerful now that it can handle a few nerfs (and calling it dead when you don’t even know what the exact nerfs are is beyond silly). Even if it drops to tier 3, that’s hardly a dead class. And if it drops too low, you can be sure that Blizzard will revert some of the nerfs because they want people to play the new class.

I prefer to see nerfs, more free dust for me!

What are you talking about? Nerfing Sacrificial Pact would affect Galakrond Warlock a lot! Also you can’t possibly know what Demon Hunter will look like after the second round of nerfs since we don’t even know which cards will get nerfed or how. Remember what happened to Shaman after two rounds of nerfs last expansion? They need to thread carefully here. They don’t want to destroy the new class, that would be a marketing disaster.

Mobile devices have a CPU, too.

Do we know at what time it ends? Is it at midnight Pacific? If I reroll a quest now (9:17pm Pacific, but past midnight Eastern, and on an Asia account), will I get a normal quest?

Wow! Four cards are getting nerfed, and in the exact way I had predicted and hoped for in all 4 cases! Doesn’t kill any of these cards but makes them significantly less impactful. I like it!

Three nerfs to rogues seems like a lot though (I was expecting only 2 of the 3, unsure which), and leaving hunter untouched is a mistake in my opinion. Without rogue to keep it down, midrange hunter should rule the field.

The latest set of the year only stays in standard for 16 months.

And that’s also why they typically make the last expansion of the year to be stronger, to compensate for it sticking around for a shorter duration.

Just a small nitpick: in the Kathrena section, you mentioned 3/15 Witchwood Grizzlies, but they’re actually 3/12.

I’ve played it in three Brawliseums, went 6-3, 8-3, 5-3, so nothing impressive. I really like the deck though. I too was unsure about tracking, but I don’t think it screwed me over even once. Most of the time I don’t even play Zul’jin anyway, and often times when I do I’m out of cards anyway or can wait until he’s played before doing the last tracking.

One thing I learned after those 28 games is that the best target for Stitched Tracker is often Oondasta. You’re likely to end up with a big beast in hand anyway, and if not, then Rexxar will provide some juicy targets.
