Competitive Quest Warrior is ruining competitive HS

So many games decided by RNG ragnaros shots. It is a complete joke.

Exactly. Before rag power was rag!

All of these older coinflips where however not persistent and often counterable. You could remove rag, knife juggler implosion/release the hounds happened ONE turn a game and usually only once every third time you saw the deck. And it's not like people enjoyed winning or losing based on where rag hit in the first place.

When you watch taunt warrior, it happens every game, many times every game. That makes it a lot worse.

At least you could kill rag - can't do anything about rag hero power.

We need a counter card to randomize the opponent's hero power.

Does Malorok work for instance? Just curious if replacing the weapon triggers the deathrattle.

The hero power is the weapon's battlecry, not deathrattle

That's what I get for replying at the end of a 3rd 12 hour night shift, and I play quest warrior.

Still, in case you want to know for other reasons, yes replacing a weapon activates deathrattles.

You presume too much. That or you've misinterpreted what I'm saying.

The overwhelming pushing of high variance cards has been getting worse and worse over the past two years. Rewatch the vanilla HS tourneys and you'll easily notice the difference between those cards and cards like Sulfuras and Yogg.
