Thaddius is SO BROKEN with Evolve Shaman.

[@samfoord943]

I cannot explain just how furious I would be if I was Regis' opponent in the last game seeing a perfect lethal from a random mr smite that no one else would possibly run in a random shaman deck.

[@unknownchipmagnet3510]

I've been running an Evolve Shaman deck with Smite and that 8 cost spell that let's you summon 3 copies of a minion before the mini set was announced lol... very hard to get the right discounts to pull off the combo but man has it been fun :)

[@ajkcool]

I find it funny how Regis is like "Should I make an 11/11 on turn 2, or kill a 1/2?" It's that Duels brain seeping through to Standard.

[@maggotthemadman8142]

Knew this would happen soon as I seen the card, broken af.

[@C_Kiri]

So my ideal nerf for this deck, entirely because I think it would be funny, would be if the gnoll gained the text 'Cannot be transformed' Just because I want the patch notes to be all like 'As you're all aware, Polymorph Mage has been tearing up the meta on ranked ladder, and nothing has escaped its oppression. We decided that Goldshire Gnoll Aggro, as what would normally be the best way to get under those decks, needed just a little bit more of a push to balance the overall environment out in a way we think will ultimately be healthy'. Just some entirely fake nonsense.

This is brilliant and we should recontextualize all patches like this "Evolve shaman has had too many good hits on 5 mana evolves, so we're making theotar 6 mana so they have to think twice on that muck pools. We expect no other repercussions to this change"

[@farphos]

[@MrArbaras]

All they need to do to fix this is add an 11 mana stinker to the pool

[@GaussianEntity]

They need to add junk to the Core pool so that random cards are less effective. Random cards have been an issue since Barrens.

[@JJ-vm3oj]

Well goldshire gnoll is leaving next expansion along with tiny toys aka what makes evolve shaman good I highly doubt they’ll push evolve shaman next expansion…right

[@eris6245]

Make the new Mistake amalgam have some ability text that says like "treat this card as if it were an 11-mana minion" or something so it can (Mistake-enly) end up in the evolve pool.

[@iwishiwaschrismacavoy8116]

They could make gnoll 11 mana and change the wording to "Costs 1 less for each card in your hand" so it still costs 1 if you have a full hand but you cant roll into other 10 drops

[@LuisGLC31]

At this point I'm convinced that folks at Blizzard either don't have any foresight capabilities or simply don't care anymore. I mean, Gnoll has been abused for ages now with Schooling + cheap evolve crap (so much that they had to completely remove colossal minions from the evolve pool in order to stop the turn 4 Neptulon shenanigans). They then proceed to not only print a 1 mana discover an evolution, which is plainly stupid in and of itself, but also add a new 10 mana humongous taunt minion that allows for - you guessed it - even more mana cheat. Now instead of dumping 10 mana worth of stats for free on turns 3-4 you get to have twice or three times that amount, while also hitting your opponent in the face. For bonus points, they don't even realize that Neptulon CAN be discovered with the new card despite not being able to be randomly evolved into, which you'd think they would spot within 5 minutes of testing. Who could've possibly seen this coming?

[@metb235]

Why do devs allow turn 2 Thaddius?? Do they not see it during playtesting or do they not care that these ridiculous rolls exist? I don't know which one is worse.

[@MrDrDeaf]

They could make the pool for evolution be one (1) more than what they played the gnoll for. Ex: a 3 mana gnoll can only evolve into a 4 mana card. That way gnoll doesn't lose it's unique effect and people don't get completely smashed by the discover evolution.

[@franklinnartz1381]

I've never understood why this wasn't the default mechanic. The mana reduction should just become permanent the moment gnoll is played. So if it was reduced to 5, it shows 5 as mana cost when it's on the board.

[@kostasedison3267]

That's the solution half of the community has been asking for. If those devs don't take this route they deserve to be fired

[@rendynn]

I've struggled a lot on the ladder lately, so seeing this I hurried up and crafted Thaddius with my last dust.... and then I realised something...

[@othang7210]

I am absolutely fear to fight with evolve shaman, now this desk even more terrific by choosing what it want to evolve. How we can defend with just 4 mana ????

[@kostasedison3267]

We can't. Gnoll needs to evolve based on the mana it was played at, not its original cost. A potential nerf is the only solution I see.

[@StrumstarHammer]

I really don't want them to nerf a fun, consistent evolve card because the one thing I wanted was just a LITTLE control on my evolves. I honestly wish they'd make Thadd 9 mana instead just to keep him from being evolved into by gnolls.

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

I think a better change would be to have his aura effect only be activated if he was played from hand

[@kingofthejungle5338]

@@mrsweetkandy7673 how would they program that?

[@redliquid6775]

Or as other people have said: Either make an 11 mana minion OR make gnoll 11 mana so it just rolls into useless stuff

[@GaussianEntity]

Gnoll is just really bad to play against since evolve was introduced in Nathria. Too highrolly and limited counterplay. The location also helps by allowing you to set up before the actual Gnoll comes down too.

[@GabrielOliveira-vn6ci]

Yo Regis, do you think the powercreep in hearthstone reversable in any way? Im really worried by the state of the game those last exapansions. I think since maybe barrens the game is gradually becoming more about efficiency and less about fun and creative stuff. (Sry for my english)

[@NothingSerious...2]

You canmot reverse powercreep, that is the entire point of it. However, powercreep doesn't have to make game unfun.

[@averagerainbow9381]

@@NothingSerious...2 well they did with rastakan, that's why it's thought of as the worse expansion; because of how weak the cards are in it. So if they do try to fix powercreep in standard we're going to have a really boring meta for a year or 2

the only thing you can pray for is when the next season comes out for rank they may take the fresh opportunity to attempt to scale back power creep

[@GaussianEntity]

@@averagerainbow9381 Rastakan didn't slow the game down at all lol. It just made the set irrelevant for Standard. However, plenty of weird cards from that set see play in Wild, particularly degenerate stuff like Frog and Linecracker.

@@averagerainbow9381 wasn't that whole year on the weaker side, at least compared to the previous year?

I quit hearthstone back in 2015 after the tournament stuff came out as it made the game feel like pay-to-win. I am getting back into it now and I am just amazed by how op everything is. A 10-cost minion on turn 2 is just mind-blowing

@@nonecker7479 that's what I think is cool about power level increasing, that card is good but not broken while also being very fun and versatile, while a 10 cost minion on turn 2 isn't a result of the power level going crazy, is rather the result of the devs directly designing cards in poor way causing early highrolls to exist

[@klok1014]

I feel like a sufficient nerf to the deck is to not change any cards, but to change how evolve works. If you play a discounted minion, i believe that minion should maintain its discounted cost on board so when its evolved, itll bring the gnoll or whatever to a 4 or 5 drop. This still keeps tiny toys good while reducing the early game massive boards. I doubt they will go down this road though, despite imo is a great change for the game

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

I literally, don't understand what the devs were thinking here. There is NO WAY they missed that combo. A LOT of people saw it coming, with how evolve shaman was before this expansion. It's 2 new cards so that combo is just the most obvious... I really don't understand why they're letting this be a thing and i genuinely can't believe they missed this because it's not possible not to try that while testing the cards. How the hell does that happen?

[@GaussianEntity]

It's the last set of the year, they're not going to hold back since rotation is so close. It's usually the craziest time of the year with decks that do insane things.

[@franklinnartz1381]

"A LOT of people saw it coming" I'd even argue everyone. Unless they somehow never played with/against evolve Shaman.

If legend is the only goal you could craft unholy dk and get there reasonably fast with decent mulligan and just focusing an spending mana every turn. Implock is also good if you have the cards. With good mulligan and mana spending you could get legend with almost any deck.
