How is this shit balanced? As usual they completely fail to make it plausible for most classes to even use this decktype. Instead it's just another tool for control classes that have already been dominating the meta for ages.

I have so many fucking questions as to what their thought process was with this card. Why do the minions have such great stats? Many of them are extremely tanky which makes them really good for trading. Their effects aren't really stoppable either and they don't require any real synergy to work like mechs, dragons, beasts, etc...

And that's one of my other big problems. C'Thun buffs affect him regardless of where he is. This means that if C'Thun dies and you play another C'Thun card, it buffs him anyway. This wouldn't be such an issue if he DIDN'T FUCKING RETAIN HIS STATS FROM DEATH. This means that if C'Thun died as a 15/15 then he still stays 15/15 and the next time they play a C'Thun based minion it starts him off at those stats.

What this means is that you're completely fucked against Warrior and Priest because they can play C'Thun on curve at no actual risk. Once he's dead, they can just keep buffing him and then play that minion that reshuffles him in.

To make matters worse there are a lot of C'Thun cards that gain additional properties if C'Thun is strong enough. They are basically all completely broken battlecries for the mana cost. So you'll have Priest and Warrior using their minions that give them ten armor or heal for ten, even after C'Thun is dead.

For non C'Thun control decks you're completely hosed against C'Thun decks. Meanwhile any class that doesn't have good cards for control are locked out of C'Thun and are stuck with terrible mid range in a slow meta, or aggro which isn't viable except for with Zoolock and Aggro Shaman.

And even with all this shit there is still no viewable graveyard or even the ability to check the stats of C'Thun on both sides whenever you want. Fuck Blizzard.
>>
>>335839991
It's balanced because Aggro Shaman stomps it.
>>
>>335839991

just face Hunter or Zoolock their slow vanilla asses, cthun doesn't generally play any taunts until 6 (Druid) or 7 (Emperor), only priest runs any healing... just punish them if you're sick of it.

Darkshire Councilman is fucking busted

>>
>>335840423
I versed a Cthun priest that healed me as well to buff his Cthun. With cards like refreshment vendor.
>>
C'thun is sort of okay, it's too easy to get him to 10 attack tho for all that synergy
>>
>>335842272
I wouldn't have a problem if his stats reset back to 6/6 when he died.
>>
>>335842350

That'd work too, since Doomcaller is his only res.

I really enjoy C'thun decks, it's lots of fun. It's just too easy to ramp him up and his cards like Twin Emps

I've been beating a lot of shitters today with this wlock deck:

>2 posessed villager (the 1 mana, 1/1 w deathrattle)
>2 flame imp
>1 death coil
>1 soul fire
>2 power overwhelming
>1 abusive sargeant
>2 shadow dealer (2 mana 2/2 with discover)
>2 pinebile tidehunter
>1 adorned beetle
>2 alfa wolf
>2 knife juggler
>1 murloc tidehunter
>1 shadowbolt
>1 questing adventurer
>2 imp gang boss
>2 shadow counsilor
>1 void terror
>1 shadow flame
>1 demonarc
>1 soul siphon
>1 sunwalker

getting an extra questing adventurer would make the deck possibly better.

I've never even seen anyone play C'thun against me yet. I destroy them by turn 7 . Face hunters don't stand a chance.

No one said Yogg was good. Yogg is an excellent SAVE ME PLEASE card. You don't throw it out until you know you'll die the next turn and it can win you a match you would have lost otherwise. Some decks like Miracle Rogue can run it without actually hindering their goal so he can be a secondary win condition.

I find that I almost always get at least one or two secrets from Yogg and that usually is enough to throw things well in my favor. It also really helps to try to clear their board first before casting him.

He's going to lose you a lot of games obviously, but he'll also win you games in which there was literally no other card in the game that could have saved you.

And like I said any decent deck with it only uses him when they know it's over. It's basically like getting another chance to win without any real drawbacks to your deck structure.
>>
>>335840238
The expansion back has been fun for 2 days. In the 21 games I played today it was 1 c'thun druid and the other 20 games were aggro shaman / tempo mage.

Adding to what this guy said

Yogg is considered your ally so any card that can only target enemies or only target allies will go off in your favour

>>335843763

Not bad, could use some work. This is pretty much the standard zoo deck atm. Forbidden Ritual has amazing synergy with most of the deck.

I swear, that 4 mana 7/7 is literally cancer. It's just a bit too much.

Like I've been saying you can have Yogg in a deck that does well without him. It's just a potential win condition. You throw him out when you know you're fucked and he can completely turn the game around. He's the Phoenix Wright of Hearthstone. He can save the day or get called out on his bullshit after yelling.

Depends on what you play.

N'zoth is great for deathrattle decks like din and hunter. Yogg is sheer fun.

Twin Emps is pretty much the new Dr Boom for C'thun decks

>>335845849
This. Yogg mage is just tempo mage and completely able to win without yogg, but will get a huge yogg effect if it casts yogg because the decks 20+ spells.

I feel yogg can work in freeze too but I haven't tried

Twin Emps if you're playing a C'thun deck, Yogg if you have all of LoE, N'zoth if you want to meme in wild

Are you saying there aren't? Ancient reaction images aren't arguments
>>
>>335839991

C'thun is only one card in a deck of 30. So the likelihood of actually drawing it in a reasonable amount of time isn't all that great.

In the games I've played with it, Cthun druid is pretty damn slow. If you can keep control of the game long enough to draw it, then its OK if you usually win with it. Most of the time, you aren't going to draw it and will lose.

none of the other decks can hold a candle to face shaman because standard basically removes what little way you can survive slightly longer so you actually have a chance to set up for you ebin cumbak.

1. You get a new quest every day. Doing them gives you enough gold for about a pack every other day. I've never spent any money on hearthstone and got all the cards I want to build tier 1 decks but I'm pretty patient.

2. Play arena. Everyone starts with a random deck.
>>
>335852947
I've been playing for like a month and a half now, you'll slowly get the cards you want/need from doing quests and games and shit and then crafting.
It's just a slower ramp up than buying all the adventures and packs you need.

But trust me, you'll have an easier time now that fucking healbot, sludge, and shit are gone from standard
They were the bane of a newbie's existence.

Also look at the hidden quests, there are a bunch of ways to earn some packs and gold when you first start up to help get the ball rolling.
>>
>>335852947
>>335853876
Arena rewards were recently reworked to give out more at lower wins, you can get 2 packs at 5 wins now.

I got 155 gold, a pack and a card at 5 wins last time I played

you do realize that value is virtual, it doesn't exist in space. MTG cards aren't valuable because they are real, which is how MODO works

Yeah.
Usually i just play it so I do as much damage as i can and control the board so i can hopefully get bram before yog or at least so theres a good chance yog will kill if he does a little bit of damage to their hero.
Otherwise I just end up killing them, I'd rather not pass up a chance for a win just to chance on yog if I don't have him on hand.

Control pally is ridiculously strong with nzoth and corrupted healbots. Add doomsayers, keepers, aldor, pyros, tyrone, sylv, cairne and new swagneros and its almost impossible to lose. Half hour long game but easiest wins of your life.

It's burst right when midrange hunter is running out gas, and uncontestable value from just one card if the game goes any longer than that.

what kind of shit c'thun decks are you playing against? just on the battlecry minions alone you can get a 30/30 cthun by turn 10, and again, you can't stop battlecries from happening.

c'thun decks are control decks so you are going to struggle to have a remotely meaningful board
