The thing that prolly pisses me off the most is how bad of a joke visionar is.
[Unofficial] Complain about patch here
I feel like Bloodfire totem deal too much damage too fast, I hope they will reduce it at the end of only one player turn. I just took 8 damage in 4 turn (or 2 turn for each player), thatās really āanti-generalā. And itās really, really hard to remove.
And because itās a structure you canāt buff it to attack.
I went through the Shimāzar page and saw the cards every faction got. Everyone got decent cards, yeah. Why do you nerf Magmar ? WHY ? Gosh. And I would have loved another Vindicator or Visionar like to help Starhorn but thatās my opinion.
Holy crap Magmar looks bad in this expansion, I sort of figured from the lack of previews for them.
Nerfs to a card barely played (Veteran) most likely because they nerfed the stats of Elder and couldnāt have Veteran be only 2/1 below it.
One card to support Starhornās BBS, which is not enough. It seems Magmar will still only have one playable general. Visionar seems pretty bad too. The only deck I can see Starhorn doing well with is a battlepet spam deck with Mandrake.
Lackluster cards for Magmar this expansion in general, where other factions get one hit kill combos and boardwipes, Magmar get an overcosted 5 damage to non-egg cards INCLUDING YOUR OWN GENERAL. Meanwhile obliterate or Sky Phalanx donāt hurt you for 5 health while donig far more.
Wild Inceptor seems overcosted and is a 4 mana, an already overcrowded slot. Morin-Khur, while cool, also seems too expensive to use. Dreadnaught is pretty nice too, but I donāt think itāll see much play.
Magmar really got the shaft.
I got 2 Nimbus, 3 Allomancer and 3 Spinecleavers from my pre order packs. I already did what had to be done and dusted my elders for aymaras, call me a traitor.
The thing I hate most about Denizens of Shimāzar so far is the near-instant barrage of whine it has generated from some knee-jerk Duelysts. I wasnāt going to vent, but when I saw that this is a safe space for that kind of behaviour I thought I might as well get it off my chest.
I donāt think it is overcosted. You have to remember, that Minions hatched out of eggs will have Rush, so you could get a Rush Silithar Elder.
That is why Raqyee is a straight up genius, ngl. Now we only have one thread full of whiners like us, and donāt have to deal with 500 Threads of āxyz is opā.
Sure but that requires you to have a Silithar Elder out already, which means either thereās one already up that hatched this turn so why not attack with that? Or your opponent burst it down and couldnāt finish the job. For Silithat elder it might be good.
But for veterans and young, not that much, esecially after the nerf of Veteran. The new battlepet doesnāt use this either, canāt even.
The only use I can see this getting is with Egg morph or Chrysalis burst, and thatās an 8 mana combo. Seems very situational for itās price. They seem to asume youāll flash reincarnate this out.
Man, I canāt wait to see what that big ass hydra does, probably a strong lategame minion with regenerate or it splits into smaller hyrda or something!
ā¦
Elder was pretty rare because of the fast pace of the game beforehand, so you arenāt a traitor; just a person who joined a winning teamā¦
Such a waste of an awesome spriteā¦
I initially felt the same. Really wanted the card to be this big ass pet that just shits on everything. But Rawr ended up being that card instead and I actually like it even more. It looks better imo and has a better effect than Hydrax. Not to say how Hydras is garbage though, every card that has something to do with draw has potential to be broken.
too bad theres no egg to hatch
Forget the gameās actual issues.
Since the patch supportās been scrambling.
The person Iām talking with right now is jumping to answers before reading/checking in to my problem.
I suppose itās to be expected that mistakes get made since theyāre probably being swarmed but meh.
When moneyās involved I donāt think it should be so spotty.
Generally speaking, I love to whine. I LOVE IT. But, about all this, letās not just āhateā too much. The devs that did the balance probably thought it was for the best. I complained about Magmar nerfs. Thinking about it, it just means weāre going to have to change our gameplay. The meta NEEDS to change, or the game is going to become stale and boring. Nerfing and buffing will ALWAYS seem unfair but the efforts here are made to tweak the balance so the game is ever changing, OP cards becoming less OP, buffed cards, itās all to make a new meta. The only thing Iāll call bad here is the lack of Starhorn support. Maybe the other cards are not what we all expected either. But, all those effort are made to make the game a more dynamic experience where we all have to adapt to the changes. Anyway, thhatās my PoV, feel free to just sh*t on it.
in case no one else responeded, soulburns are 0/4 sturctures with summon dervish that destroy any minion that damages it. spinecleaver summons totems for your OPPONENT that are 0/4 and deal one damage to their general every turn
When I started building the magmar deck I expected to have big minions , raw power. But now Kara seems to be better at this when the Vanar theme is not really that. You place an 7 mana slithar elder 6/6 she places a 5 mana with BBS 12/6 artic displacer or something similar and with the 2 remaining returns the elder to your hand .
*Vanar
DROP RATE !!
