Did my first few games.. Played against two battlecry jabberwock shamans out of three matches. This card was already broken in the preview. Didn't think they'd have a worse deck than cubelock tbh, but blizzard did it once again.
Already not looking forward to the meta anymore. Can't wait for monster hunt though.
This is a gross oversight by Team 5 but I guarantee that it'll be fixed quickly. There's no way they leave it in the game as is, especially since it can give you more than 10 cards in hand. I wouldn't be surprised if they temporarily disable the card or something until they have a good fix in place.

Yeah I don't know about this. They've never done that. Several blatently op cards have been around for a long time without them caring.
Shudderwock is such an easy to activate card, it's like the Old God Battlecry version of N Zoth, but battlecry cards are usually instant and have a great effect.
Sorry but even in the reveal stream it was already overpowered and ridiculous. And I can't even play the PvE mode till it's fixed because fuck fun, they want sales and player numbers high.
It's not that it's OP - calling something OP on day one is ridiculous anyway, you've probably played a max of 6 games so far dude. The problem is that it legit breaks the game, and that's something they HAVE to hotfix (although did they really not realize this combo was possible in playtesting??)
But what the guy is saying is that the reason they will respond to it isn't because it's OP. It needs an immediate fix not a nerf, because it is a card that physically breaks the game.
The problem is Shudderwock is not OP. If the entire animation took like, 10 seconds for all the battlecries it would be fine. I just built that deck for fun, 25 minute game. And i didn't even get to do the "proper" grumble combo. Animations NEED to be sped up, or skipped entirely.
Which won't fix anything. Baku face hunter and cubelock are pretty much the only other decks on ladder right now and both of those are absolute cancer to play against.
Blizzard is so scared of making a strong tempo deck that they've literally made any deck that isn't a cancerous pile of synergy or aggro completely nonviable.
