I swear I predicted this podcast in a dream. Looking forward to twist and looking forward to something more fresh stuff to keep us nerds working at new strategies. I think this is actually going to be a lot of fun.
Im iffy about this current format, between wild and standard ie the perfect description for it.
I will be excited for a nutth format (imagine a format of tri classes, each class gets to play with the cards of the other classes in it's trio)
lord forgive me i'm about to jam some bonk druid to style on some standard players
AKA: THE STATE OF TWIST EPISODE 1
Wouldn't starlight groove with librams be enough to shut down QL Druid and poison rogue without having to invest into the matchup too much?
"I feel they will make adjustments if they thin it's necessary" is such a nothing statement. They are doing it for Wild already.
not playing. quests ruined the game and i would just concede as soon as they played one on t1. the gameplay is just solitaire degeneracy
Well, there is also the issue of that Liadrin skin being fugly 😂
Well, it's easy to say what the next expansiin going to be: a collection of OP shit that is begging to be nerfed 😊
BLIZZARD NEED TO NERF THE DRUID AUCTIONEER DECK!!!!! THE DECK IS FUCKING ABYSSIMAL! PLEASE ADRESS THIS AGAIN!!! IT ALWAYS FUCKING WINS ON 6. HOW IS THAT STILL IN THE GAME!?
The fact that they nerfed the priest deck that was shit and left this, shows that they dont really care about the format and have no clue on whats actually strong or not.
FYI mozaki mage dominates wild except for all the distruption, therefore it will be broken in Twist
Just bring back Old Gods, rise of shadows and un'goro expansion in twist..
Bonus: You can ban one class.
The best thing about Twist (but perhaps not the New Age ruleset) will be the lack of known meta. It might take a couple of weeks for the meta to develop fully (each season is a month long), just 2 weeks before the rules change again.
There might be some seasons where we get a new meta breaker emerging in the last week.
This is something we have not had for years in HS – a jump into the unknown.
What a twist that this episode is not focused on wild!
I won't touch twist until there's a meta without stormwind. already annoyed that there is finally something fresh and interesting new and that's the same crap we just had.
Congradulations to the brothers Stormrage for ruling another format
Am I the only person worried that this will kill wild? Most of the people who are gonna play twist are people who play wild, I doubt many standard-only players keep any rotated cards. This will just split wild’s already comparably small player base.
I've been wanting a rotation mode like this for a while, and decks being bad or sub par never stopped me from enjoying them in wild, so I have high hopes.
As a note on the hunter weapon, Random 6 cost beast has grey sage parrot, hollow hound, and death beetle. Random 7 cost beast on the other hand is nearly entirely all collosals.
So we are not adressing the fact that Twist (the new FORMAT) has differents FORMATS(the rules)? Why they have to called it the same?
Questlines were a mistake
RIP dusting my druid quest at rotation
edit: I agree, Stormwind was a mistake to include in this format. First set Un'goro meta!
I'm worried about the longevity of the Twist format because it requires Wild cards to play.
It feels a bit like ‘you like wild?’ – yes – ok here’s a bunch of limitations on the mode you enjoy
Seeing Corb throw this tiny scrap of hope about "Twist could be less competitive than Wild and people would just be having fun in it" before he queued up today into, no joke, +75% QL druid is giving me severe emotional whiplash.
I'm excited but scared to play this 😂
Day 2 Twist hot take: Ban Glide = Perfect format
I've been playing a mediocre Varden-HP-freeze mage deck recently in wild and it's actually quite good against questline druid. But a lot of the stuff that makes it so- ice walker , ice block, rat, loatheb- are unavailable in twist.
wish I'd listened to meowth say custom shaman 2 wasn't good before I crafted card for it o7
