When in doubt…go back to zoo :v
There were a lot of times where a mass dispel suddenly fucked up my board and then have a bunch of mostly useless minions. Definitely a underrated card for traditional control priest.
Silence (the priest card) is actually pretty great for tempo priest, especially with ancient watchers to act like a psuedo innervated yeti. The tempo advantage is pretty nifty.
And I still don’t know what Priest I’m going to build as I don’t have enough for any variant.
Got another pit lord… Blizzard really wants me to play a demon lock.
Also, just had my first 1 win arena in a while… But I opened up a leeroy from the pack, so how can I be mad?
It appears that there was a leak where starving buzzard was 5 mana 3/3 + 5 mana leeroy ingame for a short period of time with dozens of players posting screen shots just recently.
Would seem that a test build got leaked or something.
The starving buzzard nerf seems questionble but a leeroy change does seem likely.
Sooooooooo youre in luck
Whoa whoa, what? I want to see these leaks.
In which case save leeroy, you can trade him for any legendary in the near future you’d want : )
Hmm, I see.
Man, if that’s true…I wonder what other changes we’ll get. Starving Buzzard looks ass now. Leeroy is definitely livable. It’s mostly a win condition anyway so the extra turn isn’t TOO much of a turn off.
It fucks over Leeroy + power overwhelming + faceless for 10 mana.
If hunter does get knocked out of the top then handlock would come back so that change would probably alleviate that.
Now if only they could make thoughtsteal discard 2 cards at random and cost 10 6 mana I’d be the happiest controladin alive.
Ah yes, the 20 damage of death on Turn 5. Now they only get a (respectable) 12 damage face rush between them.
Damn, Blizz must’ve hired Triple H in Burial Consulting because Buzzard is 6 feet under.
I’m gonna die of laughter if i start seeing hunters run Cult masters instead of Starving buzzard
I imagine they’ll have to. They have no other draw mechanics now.
I would still run leeroy at 5 mana in zoo. If he were 6? I would probably have to dust him. 5 mana is about my max for a card in aggro.
Y’all happy now but we’ll soon take it in the ass by all the secret Mages that will pop up.
Nah they’ll run Arcane Golem instead for 16 damage, some already do in conjunction with Leeroy in their decks.
I’ve optimized my current secrets mage deck not too long ago.
I don’t even think that hunters were THAT bad, to be honest. They were a top tier deck, and people are doing backflips that buzzard is 5 (which I think is ridiculous), but your’e still gonna have crazy miracle/midrange hunter decks popping up now.
Priest, hunter, warrior, warlock all jostled for the “best” deck in the current meta. Thats REALLY good balance. There were seasons where only one deck was viable to top play, and the rest kind of floundered around below it–I never felt that way this season.
Kolento Paladin WAS the deck to play, until people figured it out, and then it kinda turned vanilla. Now its like a B tier deck. Same with druid.
Anyway, Leeroy is still fine. Buzzard is garbage now.
