[@Dwhizzle]

If he spent the next 2 years playing only this deck, he could be alright with it - right before it rotates out

[@Karsh.]

Difference being that the Topsy Turvy deck had a rather clear win condition and way to handle it, while the Svalna deck requires you to make "Which of the 3 cards should I pick here and if I were to pick it, how should I use it? Let's see, based on the state of my hand and board and the enemy's hand and board and our life totals, I think I should pick... THIS one!" choices ~20+ times in a single turn - something which we've seen many examples of Trump pondering about for roughly 3/4s of his turns. It's like the difference between having to remember in order specifically the 20 digits after the decimal point from Pi and having to remember in order 20 digits from an absolutely arbitrary and random set of numbers. That's quite a difference in my opinion.

I run svalna, 1 elemental, 1 6/6 heal elemental and a moarg forgefiend. I just try to spam amulet and outvalue. it's at 60%.

Sometimes both deathrattles get countered and the games turn into a scramble to find a good deathrattle. won some of those games.

Blizzard are the ones who decided to put a hard cap on turn time and then make their animations take 3 years. Like yeah, Trump is slow, but the cards don’t help. I think they’re pretending the turn timer is a balancing mechanism when it should just be a quality of life thing for the opponent.

[@Icetea-2000]

@@Sheer_Falacy True, it’s supposed to be a competitive game but it’s also supposed to have all this flavor with these long ass animations. Sometimes you can play cards before animations finish but discovering a card has to wait for all current animations to finish so it can trigger its own animation. Animations shouldn’t limit a game this much. The turn timer is there so people who want to drag the game out can’t do it for eternity but maybe it’s a bit too short? It’s certainly not intended to limit combo decks

It's too important to get to Svalna, radiant elemental, and raise dead in your hand as fast as possible. In fact, those are the only cards you actually need to win. Having 10 extra max hp is not a big enough upside to being forced to dilute your deck with 10 more random control tools. If you're lucky you can get the combo going on turn 7.
