Meta Upended!! Patch 29.4.2 Hearthstone Battlegrounds

The "they either make cards unplayable or too strong" has never been so true. Wtf were they thinking with Trigore??? That is completely obliterating games on duos, probably on regular BG as well, I just haven't played it that much. I mean, it's good that beasts will be back into play, but that thing is just far too strong with how many taunts beasts can get.

Thanks for taking the time to explain :)

The 4/5 demon change nerfed another demon. The tier 2 that negates out of combat damage and gains hp

Correct me if I'm wrong, murky says "control" and not "for each friendly murloc" which is how they'd usually word it. I think the buff increased based on the amount of murlocs in hand aswell? that makes murky seem a bit more exciting to me

The only interact I can think of is rylak being able to consistently give your board reborn? The death rattle guy can do that but much slower, and usually with KT or the kill a guy get a copy

So now beasts are tier 1. Seems like a disproportionate buff tbh.

The drakkari embalmer interaction was with rylak. It could gain reborn infinitely and win against any build other than a perfect cleave.

indeed i cant tell how often people put rylak on the wrong side. Its hard to communicate this with them and its really frustrating. this happens at all mmr's ^^

Very easy to fix Murlocs - just bring HIM back

Love your videos, i would just like to say though, for the first time im watching this on mobile, you can read the old version just fine but its hard to see the new one, might be better to increase the size of the new ones, even if it means shrinking the old

I think back stage security was good where he was at. Get punished a little for such a high star tier 1 but then if you went self damage build you turned that punish into a buff every turn. Now it just seems boring unless you want to cycle it later down the road.

Backstage Security... what were they thinking? Can any other turn one minion even compete with this? Maybe Deck Swabbie if you are looking to tier fast. Taking 1 damage knowing you will win or tie the first two turns 90% of the time seems too good.

This game is too much Rng related. Planning to stop playing it. Basically who win the lobby is the one who highroll first at high levels. Not very funny tbh. But hey, its just my 2 cent

Trigger Orc-estra can buff the shop, thats my biggest problem, only friendly minions, maybe i can have 1 and trigger it with shudder

I realize I haven’t seen rat pack or lil rag at all so far. Anyone seen them?

So this patch was basically: Revert all changes we've made to how they were before we reworked them. Got it.

I'm very excited for Lil' Rag and the cycling elementals strategy.

Winged Chimera is getting played? Does this mean that menagerie comps are getting played? I have literally never seen a menagerie comp at my level yet. Idk, maybe it's more common at higher points (I'm at around 4500 right now).

Lasher and Deathwisper in a beast deck will now be the New OP Pokey style out of control scaling minion.

So quillboar are basically unplayable now in no murloc lobbies??

I’m glad that you got recommended on my feed. Easy sub.

Plunder Seeker also lost it's "repeat" part. Which means it doesn't work as well with cards like Peggy anymore. Peggy triggers every time you get cards or a card into your hand. So if you get them all at once, it only triggers Peggy once and not for each card Plunder Seeker gives you.

Get this man to 5k!

it is so sad what happened to putricide. Patch after patch they remove the last few interestings minions from his pool. Want to copy deathrattles? Nope, not anymore. Want to generate coins? Nope, not anymore. Can we at least have reborn on a stick? .......No.

n1

without fail every game i decide to go murlocs primalfins go extinct in the shop. I just dont play murlocs anymore really unless i absurd highroll on them i'm always looking for a way to go menagerie if im murloc

We still have a dead tribe in the pool every time we have murlocs in the game. And it's not good, lol. Imagine a hypothetical scenario, that you have a hero power, that lets you, and only you, roll only murlocs, and occasional Brans. Your enemies will mop the floor with you before you reach t5. And you can start playing murlocs, like for real, only on t5. See the problem? You can START playing them on t5, game starts at t1, everyone starts playing at t1, and you with your Murlocs start on t5. Not only you need to be lucky af, you also need time to stabilise. They are dead. And each roll you have is spoiled with their useless bodies.

Now they need a new minion that doubles your start of turn effects

Excited to give this balance patch a go, a lot of the weaker tribes look like they will be more viable now which is great. The trigore buff is surprising, that thing is honestly going to be a complete nightmare especially paired with the bird buff. Beasts def needed some love but this looks like it might have been too much, but we'll have to see.

Yesss i always get tired of seeing people play rylak wrong and i would spam "?" To get their attetion

In all honesty, I don't think this balance patch did what it needed to. I still foresee dragons being very overpowered, as well as bests. Beasts now seem like they will be really broken, just like dragons. Everything else is just going to be pathetic compared to them. Maybe quilboar will still be good, but that's about it.

pretty sure Trigore is the best 4 star minion now
