To defeat your enemy you have to become it, there must be a lesson in there.

[@nikolavideomaker]

I would say that control warrior as a deck is the most annoying thing to face. Aggro loses to it(which it should), Value control deck can barely eek out wins(if played by good players for example Quest Shaman) and now not even combo decks are a counter to it. They have 4x 1 drops, 2x amazing 2 drops, Snip-Snap, Zilliax, Dynomatic, Reckless Mummy which are all great control tools, while also gaining tempo. And even if a there is a combo meta warrior can slot in Hecklebot, Mischief Maker and many others available in the current format. My favourite deck has been Midrange Hunter since the start. Back in the day you could beat them with consistent pressure, then you outvalued them with DK rexxar, then you combo'ed them with frenzy's and dire wolf alphas. Now you can not even do that. As you have to keep up with their tempo, and you don't have enough resources to both survive and combo them. So your only option is to get lucky and try to aggro them down. This is just my perspective as a hunter player. Sorry for the long rant.

[@julianrodriguezadami6634]

You are right. I was playing quest shaman. I thougth ok, i go to fatigue against control warrior i will play mechatun, for the lols when we are at that point. They put out mechatun, 2 times of 2 against control warrior.

[@acrispim1547]

Fuck the perspective of a hunter, go get some skill

[@KoopaKrump]

Yeah, go play a real skillful class like Warrior. Skillfully pulling Omega Devastators from their hero power every time.

[@nikolavideomaker]

@Funky Kong Usually control decks are a deadly dance of using/saving your removal at the right time. Not the case for control warrior as they can use it as they wish and still win. CW's winrate is 58 percent across all ranks on HSreplay. There has never been a control deck that is both so overpowered and with such a low skill floor to pilot. To be honest this whole expansion is flawed. Blizzard did not release very many infinite value generators during the year of the raven. With Dr. Boom and hagatha being the exceptions. They only needed to nerf DR. boom and hearthstone would resume as it was pre-DK. But, no they print new infinite value decks. Instead of fixing the OP, they made everything OP. People enjoy every expansion at the start, but I predict that in a month we will experience the most boring and uninteractive meta we've had in years.

[@nikolavideomaker]

@@acrispim1547 TBH Midrange Hunter has become a really skillful deck since Rise of Shadows as it is essentially a control deck. More of a control deck than Control warrior at the moment.

[@Idk000000]

Oh man, the Goose is back!

[@PirateMacDougall]

Oh God, I was planning to reply to every comment individually because I thought there would only be one or two people thinking that nerfing Luna's Pocket Galaxy would somehow change the fact that it is a mechanically uninteresting, unfun, uninteractive and inconsistent (you have to draw it early on while it's only 1 copy in your 30 card deck) card. The card straight up needs Hall Of Famed, no possible nerf in the known universe will change the fact that it is mechanically uninteresting, unfun, uninteractive and even inconsistent. (Yes I consider inconsistency a problem on powerful cards - I don't like the mindset of losing a game to my opponent drawing a single card and I don't even like the mindset of winning against them because in the back of my mind I know I only won because they didn't draw their single game winning card).

[@lj4888]

Welcome to wild, Barnes will show you around :)

[@PirateMacDougall]

@@lj4888 Wild is the main gamemode I play but Wild is the format that used to contain hunters dropping boards of giants, Priests constantly resurrecting massive minions from the very start of the game and other such "fun and interactive" decks. You mentioning Barnes is appropriate because Luna's Pocket Galaxy is a similar sort of "fun and interactive" deck build-around, if anything you've proved my point that Luna's Pocket Galaxy belongs in Wild by giving an example of how it would fit evenly into the powerlevel of cards in that format more than Standard.

[@kresovk5]

Dr. Boom pushes same problem as Death Knights did. You *can* defeat them, but you only have very specific options, because you can never ever win value game. This of course shits on any wacky deck motivation, as your chances to win against value of Warrior or aggressive decks is suboptimal.

[@AFightingPanda]

You can't blame boom for making wacky decks less viable. There will ALWAYS be a deck that forces the weird decks to not be competitive. If it isn't warrior its warlock or mage, or take your pick. Focusing just on one card in one class doesn't make sense. You can not like boom, just don't pretend he is the thing holding a massive part of the game back from being a thing.

[@poopbuttmcgee]

And @Keith , I'm not saying Dr. Boom as is is OP, as you still need to play it and stuff like that. I'm saying cards that have very strong hero powers, not to mention RNG involved with them, and even some crazy additional effects like Rush for entire game that makes them have semi-infinite removal go against Hearthstone philosophy, hence why Baku and Genn had to leave early. Finite cards and finite (short) time playing, everything else is cumbersome.

firebat was right about dr.boom

[@SoMuchNoise1]

I agree that Pocket Galaxy is pretty bad, but if we’re on that topic, aren’t Malygos mana reduction decks also really uninteractive? I’m not entirely unsure of the difference between a deck running florist/maly or Gepetto/maly vs a deck running Luna’s/Archmage/Alex. (If Blizzard is a kind god they’ll rotate both cards out of the game :^) )

[@shadethenovice]

With Luna's you can realistically lose by turn 7, giving you almost no time to react to their game plan. With Maly combos it takes much longer to assemble and so you are given much more time to counter it.

[@jemo9389]

You're right, it is uninteractive, however, firebat had to first find flower power, then play all minions that he didnt want to discount, had to roll a 1/3 for the highroll all while saving burn damage for the combo. The combo for Luna's is to simply play lunas then draw cards. One combo is tough to pull off and requires 7 cards and the other is a one card "combo" that can be played on turn 5. Uninteractive decks are only unhealthy for the game when it's one of the best decks to win with AND a vast percentage of players are playing it on ladder. You can also add 2 mountain giants, kalecgos, that 10 mana pharaoh guy (sorry bad with names), tortollan pilgrim AND siamat to your Archmage / Alex list.

I think the reason Firebat thinks Pocket Galaxy is a problem but Dr Boom is not is because at least from KZbin stream clips he is a combo player. He prefers to set up a game ending combo that you cannot prevent (see Gonk combo, Malygos combo, Tundra Rhino/Zuljin combo, King Krush combo, Heistbaron togglewaggle leeroy combo), which beats Dr Boom because that is a control deck. Boom squeezes out all other midrange/control decks from being able to properly compete, which is frustrating. Decks pre rotation could because they used the likes of Frost Lich Jaina and Deathstalker Rexxar to compete for value, but now we only have Hagatha or at least now quests to an extent.

[@Athanatov]

Firebat's a known aggro player. Janky combos just work well for YT highlights.

[@jikscsgshsshsj6636]

dr boom is more interactive aswell because you can play sround some hero powers while with pocket galaxy you can only hope they dont a good hand. alsogalaxy is 2 turns earlier and sets up for strong proactive plays while dr boom sets up for reactive plays

@jocaguz18 Indeed, I did say at least from KZbin stream clips :) He streams a little late in the evening for me to watch in the UK.

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

The best way to stop Dr.Boom being a problem is simply for Blizzard to remove its obsession with making every infinite value card hero power related. For example: 4 cost Warlock spell "Summon a 2/2 demon with rush and lifesteal. Repeatable." Repeat for every class, but make Warrior's terrible. It's not Dr.Boom itself, which is a problem, but its lack of competition. P.S Also it's not as strong as people make it out to be. Eternium Rover was actually better last expansion.

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

@jocaguz18 True, but it does need competition.

Yo bat I get that Luna’s pocket galaxy is pretty OP but I don’t see how it’s different from the other mana discount mechanics like in this game for example, it wasn’t very interactive for your opponent to sit there and take 40+ damage to the face in one turn over a combo he could not have prevented

[@Maltesfilm]

Oliver Boetius He could have prevented it, there are disruption cards in the game so that if a combo deck like this becomes the meta you can counter it, another counter it is to be more agressive. Another thing is that luna’s pocket galaxy is one card where this is 6+ cards to get the combo.

[@oliverboetius4981]

hans hansen what warrior cards could he have used to disrupt it besides maybe a highroll heckle bot? And the argument for aggressive play to counter could be used for any slower paced deck, I’m just trying to say that at least with Luna’s pocket you have a chance to contest the board I’ve beaten mages with Luna’s active pretty often but there’s next to nothing “interactive” about feeling like your ahead on the board and safe with 40+ health and then getting smacked for so much burn (not that I feel bad for warriors lol)

[@Maltesfilm]

Oliver Boetius Warrior is able be very aggresive with the rush minions and mechs, and he could play heckle bot that could hit maly, floop or flourish (not good with names) another card he could play is the minion that plays a spell from each players hand, that work good to get rid of moonfires, and if you watched firebat needed to draw through his whole deck so he it’s a slow deck. With Luna’s on the otherhand what disruption would you be able to run to counter it? There is nothing.

[@TheSquareOnes]

I legitimately thought he was talking about Dreampetal Florist at the beginning before he said Pocket Galaxy, pretty amusing lack of self-awareness there. Not that it takes away from his point, Luna's Pocket Galaxy is obviously overpowered at 5 and is obviously a stupid mechanic in general even at an unplayably high cost like 10-mana. It's just that the numbers are all wrong rather than that it's uninteractive mana cheat, "cheating mana and then killing your opponent with something uninteractive" has described roughly half of the prominent decks in every meta for the last 2-3 years at least. That's just what Hearthstone is, you either drop stats on curve (and thus "cheat" by abusing the inherent imbalance of tempo built into the game's basic rules) or you find some combination of effects that allows you to "cheat" and break the game in another way. Honest decks haven't really existed for a looong time now, seems kinda late to be ranting about that shift.

Control Warrior takes a hot steamy shit on newer players playing non-Control/Combo decks in a way that is unhealthy for the game. Luna's is just a card that you don't like seeing, Control Warrior perverts the game.

"Why didn't they run it before the buff then?" you could ask.

Hilarious Firebat criticizing an uninteractable, mana-discounting card while playing an uninteractable, mana-discounting OTK combo.

[@AetherTheViator]

No epic sax?

[@godsdemons2421]

I'm lost, why is pocket galaxy bad for being mana cheat and uninteractable but dreampetal florist is OK?

[@AdmSyfq]

and that the opponent can do something in response by killing Dreampetal after, unlike galaxy which buffs your hold deck and the opponent can’t do anything about it.

[@MrSuperdude6]

Why not just set it back to 7 mana. Nobody played it at 7 mana right? So it's kinda like removing it from the game, except people can still meme with it.

[@jemo9389]

But that makes them look stupid. Nobody wants to admit mistakes!

They should just make Skulking Geist a classic card to tech against lunas decks.

I'm pretty sure there are classic/basic cards still in standard that aren't in the picks for Zephrys, like Shadow Madness, so I doubt they removed those cards because of Zephrys.

Honestly, if they put it back at 7, Pocket might still be playable in a Tortollan Pilgrim deck.

he's genuinely just wrong when he says boom is more fun than pocket galaxy, at least pocket galaxy wont waste 20 minutes of your life

[@tonti993]

Yes, the way to counter luna's pocket galaxy, is to cast it for them.

[@HeloisGevit]

You can counter spell it or play a lot of tempo to make it tricky to cast.

[@danang5]

pockets galaxy isnt broken because its fundamentally broken imo,its because mage can get away with casting it on 5 or 4 with coin because they have so much powerful thing to compensate before and after casting pockets galaxy like giant conjurers and girl+cyclone turn

[@Allskil88]

Unironically this. It's broken because it's a mage card and mages are broken by design.

What u doing here

[@pinballwitch5256]

Wait, you're complaining about non-interactable combos while playing maly combo druid? wow. I love you FB but wow.

[@danielgregg]

There are disruption cards you can tech in against maly druid. Pulling spells or minions out of their deck/hand ruins the combo. No disruption tech works against galaxy. Only thing I can think of is a counter spell and the other player is an idiot/has no choice but to play into it.

[@pinballwitch5256]

@@danielgregg sometimes. but like 50% of the time there has been no interaction with maly combo druid.

[@danielgregg]

@@pinballwitch5256 That's still better than no real ability to interact whatsoever. Galaxy is so good right now that you basically always keep it on mulligan, other than against the most aggressive decks. Also, I think the other compounding issue is the conjurer's package/Tortollan Pilgrim. Big tempo swings, and Pilgrim ups the consistency of the deck.

[@michaelfellner9822]

LPG really Needs to get nerfed again, either to 6 or even back to 7. Delaying by one turn can be huge since Mage often wants to Blizzard / Reno turn 6, ofc everything above would even further hurt it .. and that would be good. Rn LPG is unhealthy af bcuz of what Firebat said. Card shouldnt be an Auto include in literaly any mage deck, it should be for Combo decks which the best builds Arent atm. Also Conjurers Needs to get hit, atleast 1 mana higher or even take the twinspell.

[@dukelornek]

yet i loose to warrior a lot when playing it. Admittedly I run a subpar version because I dont own all the optimal cards but I stand by that I very much dislike warrior.

[@TheGreatwhitellama]

Because heavy control counters it, which warrior has shunted out because of Dr boom. This is the problem firebrat isn't seeing. Interactive doesn't necessarily mean healthy for the game. I've experimented quite a bit with Luna's as well and even in non-greedy versions you can die to aggro and tempo decks by the time you play it on turn 4/5. It succeeds against any deck that tries to play for middle ground or doesn't have a lot of hard removal which is most decks at the moment.

[@bonmotze]

Then learn how to counter Warrior. There are tons of ways to counter heavy Control Warrior. The opponent of Firebat played the best boom possible: on turn six. He generated a lot of armor as well, hit his card draw and good Mechs early. But he didn't have a chance. And there are many other decks, which counter Heavy Control. Lunas Pocket Galaxy on the other hand is way more annoying to play against, if Mage draws early into it. Only counter to Mage is pure aggro and that's it.

[@TheGreatwhitellama]

+Alina Kusy You misunderstand. It's not that there isn't ways to counter warrior, it's that it shuts down a tonne of legitimate deck building options because it's on top of the control scene. Some people enjoy climbing, some like myself enjoy the deck building, so warrior is a pain in the butt as far as restrictive deck building goes. At least there is no consistent way to get Luna's and you still have a chance after it's played. True it's game breaking when you're able to cast it on turn 5 without consequence and draw into high cost minion cards, but it's not consistent and cannot be relied upon. There are greedy lists that target control warrior simply because control warrior is a good portion of the ladder, but greedy versions will always be kept down by aggro if it ever comes too prominent. It's bad for the game, but I still reckon warrior is worse because of their consistency and dr boom is a big part of that.

[@BrianMcKee]

I'd rather inflict self harm than play against another boom on 7 warrior.

[@iryanmadayana1904]

The current state of mage is pretty disgusting. Pocket Galaxy, Conjurer's Calling... Extreme highroll potential and super-high tempo turns up the whazoo. Regardless of how powerful or not it may be, I would rather play against a dozen quest shamans and control warriors than against a single mage. It just is not fun to lose to a turn 6 1-mana 5/5 that casts a flamestrike, or a turn 4 8/8 that spawns behind a wall of 2 taunts and if you do not kill it instantly it turns into 2 or 3 8/8s.

[@BCJacobe]

Mana discounts and uninteractable cards are unfun *runs mana discounts and Malygos in a deck* Pocket galaxy is mad stupid, not trying to start beef just thought the timing was funny

[@OhioPaulDE]

I know Luna's Pocket Galaxy is a bad card, but fuck Control Warrior. Boring to watch, and torture to play against. DBMG is a shit card. Being able to discover mechs, rush for every mech, and the best armor up HP. Respectfully disagree with Firebat, Dr. Boom is what makes Control Warrior straight up cancer.

[@jonahbyers6183]

It's interesting how pocket galaxy went from not even played to big enough for Firebat to rant about. Amazing what 2 mana will do.

the problem with boom is that every deck that counters it is unplayable aggainst aggro. So yeah he needs a nerf because he is absolutely toxic to the game. Maybe putting brawl on hall of fame or something like that

Bad boom take. Good pocket galaxy take

[@stevenluoma1268]

I've been playing Burn Shaman and I don't really think any nerfs are necessary yet. Luna's is a great sign on 5 when I'm playing cause that usually means they're dead. Maybe it's more about the matchup. For warrior, Dr Boom can be pretty bad for aggro, but so is warrior in general so I don't really mind. At least it takes 7 mana to do. I don't get the hate, I guess.

[@TheNewton]

These broken mechanics that ignore the rule of two either for duplications or mana reduction ruin the game. Pocket galaxy lets you turn a 100+ mana deck into ~30 mana Turn 6 , 1 mana cost King Phaoris insta board fill will make me quit the game.

[@tarao666]

Then we should start with prismatic. In that deck you can have 2 copies of the card, guarantees you the phaoris and a 10 spell, and you can use it in turn 5.
