There’s one final option for Blizzard: power creep. This still lets Mechs play a useful defensive role, but it makes games more about building board tension and seizing tempo to dictate value trades than sitting back and killing everything your opponent throws at you. Moreover, it makes cards like Omega Devastator and Dyn-o-Matic even more ridiculously efficient at clearing everything forever.īlizzard may wish to consider changing Boom’s effect to give taunt rather than rush. Especially in the mirror, Rush makes trades happen too easily, meaning its incredibly hard to build a board. But its not great for providing a lot of what makes Hearthstone fun pressure, board tension, and fighting for control of tempo. This is perfect for Control decks that want infinite removal. Rush essentially makes every minion into a potential removal spell. Unfortunately, it can make Warriors too reactive. Giving every Mech Rush is an incredibly powerful effect.

Reconsider Rush With Rush, even bad mechs can clear almost anything This would make the frustration of the 4th Omega Devastator less likely and force Warriors to run heavier cards. Boom, they should consider either removing the hero power or changing it from a ‘Discover’ effect to simply add a random Mech to the hand. This is particularly problematic when you consider that two of the Warrior Mechs in Dyn-o-matic and Omega Devastator are ridiculously efficient removal options.ĭelivery Drone simply gives Warrior too much reliable removal, allowing them to sit back and clear everything rather than make pro-active plays. What’s more, the ‘Discover’ effect’s class weighting means that Warriors are extremely likely to his one of the few Warrior class Mechs. Since Mechs have rush when Boom’s up, even a simple Harvest Golem becomes a flexible, efficient removal option. By letting you discover a Mech, it adds a huge amount of development and removal potential. One of the most powerful hero powers from Boom’s alternating ‘Big Red Button’ is Delivery Drone. Look at Delivery Drone Delivery Drone has a great chance to give you powerful Warrior Removal Not to mention the flavor of the classic ‘Dr. Raising his cost may bump Warriors down a fraction in the power rankings, but won’t change the frustrations of infinite Mech removal potential. The fundamental problem of Doctor Boom is that he offers Death Knight style value in a non-Death Knight world. Doctor Boom’s power isn’t tied to his tempo (he’s objectively terrible as a tempo play) but in his late-game value. Traditionally, Blizzard likes to keep the ‘soul’ of the card, keeping everything the same but the cost, but this wouldn’t work here. One thing should be clear: don’t just raise the mana cost. But should the mad Doctor get nerfed? And if so, what form should it take? Don’t Hit the Mana In a post-Death Knight World, his infinite value and removal is extremely powerful. One of the key cards pushing Warrior over the edge is Doctor Boom, Mad Genius. With Warrior doing so well and causing so much frustration, it could be in the firing line. Unfortunately for Garrosh, we’re coming up on likely mid-season post-tournament balance changes. With a ladder packed with juicy Rogues to farm, the archetype is arguably the second best deck in the game right now. Control Warrior performs exceptionally well.
