    Deathstalker Rexxar has one of the coolest secret interactions in the game. So most of hunter’s weapons are bows and the 2 aoe Rexxar does fires out arrows. If you have a weapon equipped any attributes the weapon has (poison, lifesteal, etc) will also be given to the aoe as well. So it actually feels like your hero is firing the weapon’s arrows at the enemies!

    Problem with Yogg Saron Unleashed, Snip Snap and many other neutrals such as Sire Denathrius, The Jailer, etc etc.. lie on an intrinsic design flaw HS neutral pool system has. All (or most) of these cards got banned because they could be exploitied by one or a handfull of classes in particular. Neutral cards had been the premier way that power has been pushed up across all classes (its easier to design one generic win con for every class like Astalor than designing one for each class), but balancing them so that they are able to provide an equal amount of power for each class is impossible, so cards that would otherwise be ok or good in many classes are obliterated beause of their bonkers high sinergy with others (Sire Denarhrius). My take is that neutral cards should either be assigned to specific classes (like dual but more) or just straight banned for certain classes, like getting Denathrius reverted which would be cool for even dk but can't use it on druid.

    @marleonka. Месяц назад +7

    i'm gonna go on a bit of a rant, but since the card is not on the list, I want to talk about it.
    Chaos Creation is easily one of the worst designed cards in the game, and easily the worst designed dual class card.
    First off, the combination of Warlock and Mage is present in the card, as it is a 1 mana discount on Firelands Portal, but with a side of deck burning for Warlock. The big problem lies however how imbalanced it is in both classes.
    In Mage, for 1 mana discount on Firelands Portal, burning 1/5th of your entire deck is certainly not worth it, especially with how heavily Mage relied on combos with Sif back when it was printed. Mage has no way to utilize this effect to its benefit and its universally a detriment to the card, making it completly unplayable, as it can very easily burn your Sif, rendering your deck useless, because for 1 mana discount on an ok card, you destroyed your wincon.
    In Warlock however, this card was excellent in Sludge strategies. Disposal Assistant as well as Sludge on Wheels made putting sludge at the bottom of your deck incredibly easy by just playing on curve. (Using Finley to put your hand Sludge from other cards also works). The other support cards of Waste Remover and Fracking were designed a lot more tighly, to have more limitations (Waste Remover would eventually start burning your actual deck, could be stopped and was slower, and Fracking only burned 2 cards). Chaos Creation however, burns 6 cards and has a positive effect attached to it.
    Warlock's weakness has always been face damage, and that's part of its design philosphy and class identity. That was even stated by Blizzard back in 2019 in their class identity post. Dual Class cards are meant to fill in those gaps, to allow one class to borrow aspects of the other to cover their own weaknesses. That's the core design of those cards. Chaos Creation however, is a crazy outlier in that departament. The card for only 6 mana can deal up to 30 damage from hand in addition to summoning a 6 cost, just by playing on curve.
    Its ridiciolous to print a card THIS GOOD at its job. Especially since its a common you run two of. This card feels like around Reno, Lone Ranger for Highlander or Patches the Pirate for aggro decks just by sheer efficiency at what it does. The power level might not be as consistent as the other two, the sole potential pay off by playing this card is immense and incredibly strong in the right situation, to levels very few cards can pull off. Let alone commons that reward playing on tempo.
    And then again, we get to the dual class aspect of it. Why is this card dual class when it's meant to be exclusively a Warlock card, by being its most powerful tool in Sludge decks, while Mage gets a slap in the face when it was in last place in terms of class winrate? This reads as devs borrowing aspects of one class just to lift the other one up, without the consideration for both classes to use the card well. It's sorta like if we got a Demon Hunter-Paladin card that gave you +4 Attack for each Divine Shield minion you control. It's simply ridicioulous how such a card can be printed with such favoritism as its core design philosophy.
    I hate this card with all my heart and I think whoever designed it failed at what they were doing. I don't see any positive aspect to this card's design.

  • @coltonschnepf471
    @coltonschnepf471 Месяц назад +9

    I think for Pirates the only poorly designed card is Patches. It allows the Pirate package to be incredibly compact compared to other types like Elementals. Classes like Priest don’t even need to play a fully dedicated Pirate deck to reap the benefits meanwhile Mage is the only class that gets Elementals and the deck is 100% strictly an Elemental deck. There aren’t even other Mage decks using an Elemental “package” in the same way.

      I think Sigil is powerful and the fact you can’t interact with it isn’t great, but I don’t think it’s out of line with Wild power level. It’s an above rate card in DH exactly in a format of above rate cards and needs to be followed up by Hozen exactly to be game winning, which I feel is a fine spot. Like, there are non-DH Pirates decks that perform well and non-Pirate DH decks that perform well. It’s hard to pinpoint Sigil as a problematic design specifically when the advantage Patches gives you Turn 1 is the common denominator.

    Honestly I think deepminer brann should be mentioned for the hell that was the standard Workshop brann meta. They buffed brann to not be countered by plagues but left it at 6 mana. It made Reno warrior have a 20 to 25 percent play rate across the ladder and basically strangle the meta around it. At the same time they buffed boom boss to shuffle into your opponents deck so now Reno warrior easily beat wheel warlock. Which ironically also got nerfed due to how broken its interactions were too.

    Reno is so poorly designed that instead of working as a way to survive against early game aggression to pull out a late game, it just punishes anyone playing a deck that cares about filling your mana crystals. Reno is an objectively strong effect, one that actively counters many other “late game” win cons, such as Sargeras, Rheastraza, even Juggernaut if that somehow hasn’t killed you yet. But it does nothing against turn 6 combos, or turn 4 pushes. It absolutely fails to do what OG Reno accomplished, and only makes late game decks (which are not favored by the meta whatsoever) feel all the worse to play.

It has infinite value, but so do cards like Lakkari Sacrifice and raid the sky temple, both of which are terrible memes. Infinite value doesn't equal good. Rexxar was good at one time because it was like the only board clear Hunter had, and Standard had good beasts at that point, and it just so happened that at this point in time, slow Hunter was actually viable which has historically not been the case.

    As a Rexxar player, I always thought Frost Lich Jaina was way worse. They both get free minions, but Rexxar has to roll decently for Lifesteal and pay Mana for all their minions, and Jaina just gets it guaranteed, from any Elemental they want to run as well as from their Hero Power. Sure, they needed enemy minions at 1 HP, but it never felt like they suffered much to meet that condition. Rexxar was a little better against extra-slow control decks, but not by much, and they both lost to OTKs. Jaina was the first card in the entire game I just groaned at every time I saw it. I so rarely won the game after that card was played.

    The only other time i can think of a keyword being nerfed or changed is in another game! Companions in magic the gathering. Which is even funnier as because physical card game, you just have to know about the change in the companion rules. Every companion had a deck building restriction which if met you could play the card from OUTSIDE YOUR DECK. It was in your sideboard and you cold play it at any time. They changed the mechanic to where you had to pay 3 mana to put the card into your hand first before you could play it.

    Darkglare should be in this list too. I’d say it’s slightly less broken than the other 3 Warlock cards mentioned but it’s still egregious. It was originally 3 mana 3/4 refresh TWO mana crystals absolutely disgusting. No testing at all for that. Just after one proc it’s practically a 1 mana 3/4 and then it cheats insane amount of mana from there. Then they “nerfed” it to a 2 mana 2/3 refresh one crystal, still broken. Now it’s back at 3 mana and it refreshes one, and it’s still OP.

    You could always change Ice Block to be a card where you can't activate them in sequential turns (You get a debuff called Hypothermia in wow to prevent Cold Snap allowing two instant ice blocks), or you could make Ice Block (or pre-nerf innervate as well) as cards with Once Per Game clauses to prevent abuse.
    My original idea for nerfing Innervate back in the day was to actually just make it a legendary, but then the card would feel "sacky" as they would call it in yugioh, where it just feels horrible if your opponent draws it when they're less likely to do so, especially in the mirror.

    I got back into the game because of Yogg's release, I caught a glimps of a miniset review and thought it was a fun card and started to play again after not playing since Whispers of the Old God. So in my opinion its one of my favourite cards for that reason.

  • @cupmallows
    @cupmallows Месяц назад

    DS Rexxar was not badly designed. Changing the hero power from smOrc into a midrange gameplam was fun. Especially since it wasnt a minion, only spell hunter back then had a way to reload and build a board but you still technically had to PAY 2 and the mana for a 6+ cost random combo of beasts. Id rather have to see them build custom beasts than hero power shoot me and aggro me.

It's like, there's a whole bunch of all these cool cards that put these permanent or passive effects onto the board that you're supposed to just HAVE, and then the other guy just plays this fckn card, and all of that is gone and we're back to basic bitch Hearthstone. What garbage. I have no idea how it survived all the way up till now without a change in function, can only assume all the blizz employees were busy stealing milk again.
    Really glad it finally got put in the line with the latest patch announcement.

    There are 2 Glaring Omissions:
    -1 was Cavern Dreamer from the 1st Taverns of Time Arena event. It was a ridiculous Mage exclusive Minion that snowballed so hard that you almost auto lost if you couldn't immediately kill it since it snowballed so hard
    -2 Shudderwock. Any card that can stall a game with like 10 min worth of animations when it was released is terrible design on multiple levels

    • @FlareIsGone
      @FlareIsGone  Месяц назад

      That first one isn't a real card and Shudderwock isn't even remotely as toxic as the other cards. It's been a known thing for years that Shudderwock is one of the worst cards in Shudderwock shaman, since he doesn't do anything on his own and requires a full game of setup to do anything. Only because of Reno is shudder even remotely toxic since now you're actually just fully time warped by shudder due to reno

    • @jasonjanisewski78
      @jasonjanisewski78 Месяц назад +2

      @FlareIsGone Cavern Dreamer is definitely a real card. You can watch RUclips videos of people playing the card and numerous posts about it. Implying it is made up is silly LOL.
      Also, in regards to Shudderwock for some reason you are trying to change the argument. The power level of a card is a different argument from the quality of design. A card could have the lowest win rate in the game yet still be the worst designed card

  • @angrydonut6797
    @angrydonut6797 Месяц назад

    On my list for worst designed cards there definitely would be helya. like every other disruption/damage you put into your opponents deck (bombs/curse of agony...) they can draw it all and if they can heal it good for them. imagine any other shuffle card if it had the ability to go infinite, aside from framed cards because shaman can go infinite with shudderwock every other class that shuffles things would go absolutely crazy. infinite bleeds and rouge would be back in tier 1, infinite bombs and warrior could just beat other highlander decks just cause and so on. the only way to counter it late game is to either run really bad tech cards or completely throw your decks game plan out the window.
    add to this the fact that not only is it random when you draw it but also what it does. and even better it just goes back into the deck and doesn't go away, you can even draw the same plague twice with the same card if it draws more than one.
    no matter how good or bad it actually is i think it just sucks to play against.

    Demon Seed, while it may not make the top 10 worst-designed cards per se, is the only card in Wild currently that actively pisses me off. I can deal just fine with losing to decks that are probably better in the meta, but there's something about Demon Seed Warlock, as a deck, that tilts me to hell and back. I'd argue the QL reward should be nerfed to say "damage dealt to your hero on your turn is dealt to BOTH heroes instead", but that's just me. Either that or nerf Crystallizer
