    What if they just take the two "problematic" modules and divide them up even more, so you can't get a Zilliax that has EVERYTHING?
    So we would delete the Perfect and the Ticking module and make them into three new modules with less keywords and maybe better stats:
    - Module1: Divine shield + Rush
    - Module2: Taunt + Lifesteal
    - Module3: Poisonoues + Reborn
    and I think ditching Elusive completely would be fine...
    But I agree the MOST with your idea honestly... they just need to change all the problematic spells by adding DIFFERENT...

      Another idea I had was that blizzard could also jack up the the mana coat of those two modules and then together they’d cost more than 10 mana. Making ramp the only way to play them. I know that would make them class specific recipes but it might push the unfun combination to non viable.

      The issue is if you try and buff these bad archetypes, you can indirectly megabuff the already good decks. Since outside of DK's rune system, there's nothing stopping these good decks swapping in the new buffed cards.
      Like, say you buff Pain Priest a ton... Well, now Zarimi Priest can run some extra burst damage on top of their already good aggro shell.
      Or maybe you buff Freeze DK... Now Rainbow just runs the freeze cards.

    Honestly, I'd love to see a complete rework to Zilliax as a whole.
    Too many modules just seem to do the same thing. With of course Ticking and Virus Modules being the staple problematic modules because they provide such powerful effects.
    The overall idea of Zilliax, being a card you can craft specifically for your deck, is just missing due to this. Everyone just plays the same 2-3 combinations because there's no reason to pick anything else because any other modules just do the same thing, but worse.
    Where's things like an AoE so you can make Zilliax a board wipe? Where's things like tech card options (Like a Steamcleaner + Renovator + Viper module)? Where's things like providing value such as card draw or generating cards?
    You know, things that would make you design Zilliax for your deck, instead of just sticking the most broken keywords together.

    I think Zilliax isn't a problem if you face him once and the opponent actually has to pay mana for it. They added the condition to Zarimi of "once per game". Why not make that into a keyword for minions like "unique" or something. It basically means that it doesn't get added to the res pool when it dies so it won't come back from Inventor Boom or Hydration Station. You could go even further and make sure it's impossible to have two copies of a unique minion during one match by also not being able to copy it with creation protocol. Basically the game makes sure that the is always just one instance of the card in the game and when it's dead it's gone permanently. This could be used for a lot of other cards as well like the titans or powerful card in the future that can't print right now because they're too easy to abuse.

  • @BrandonR-mg9xt
    @BrandonR-mg9xt Місяць тому +1

    What some people are not appreciating is that it isn't necessarily the winrate of zilliax that makes it a problem, it is the fact that if you don't have a way to deal with it, you insta-lose. Decks should not be compelled to play yogg, a legendary card, simply to counter one card. Its existence is toxic to deck diversity and even worse than that, it encourages power creep on a exponential scale because other things need to be able to contend with it. Xilliax was a cool idea, a fun card to play around with, and the design team can take their victory lap as the card gets hall of famed.

  • @itsmeshady1770
    @itsmeshady1770 Місяць тому +1

    I’ve really liked the expansion not because of the expansion itself, but because the meta is so refreshing. There’s very few cards right now that are instant win conditions out of nowhere. Most the late game and combos decks require setup, so for the first time in a while there’s actual incremental advantage building rather than surprise here’s Reno into Brann, the entire game didn’t matter. GG. The one outlier is probably Zilliax, which I’d be ok with making major changes… but it feels more bearable.

  • @shiizaad
    @shiizaad Місяць тому +1

    My suggestion would be changing Lifesteal on Zilliax to: "Battlecry Restore 4 health". Because I think one big problem with Zilliax is that they can put him down when they are at 1 HP and can fullheal without a problem (if the opponent plays a board/minion havy deck). So changing that would mean they can't just put down Zilliax and make the plays of the opponent of the last couple of turns meaningless.
    I also feel like Starfish would be a good indirect nerf to Zilliax if it gets added to core. I know we have some silence options in standard but they are only single-target.
    But honestly, Zeddys suggestion to adding the word "different" to Rehydration Station and Inventor Boom sounds like the best option so far.

  • @miltonlost138
    @miltonlost138 Місяць тому

    Some starting points for changes: Nerf Perfect and Virus to 7 each, so you have to ramp a ton just to pay it. Make Shadowstep cost 2 so you are only banking a discount, not cheating mana. Change Concierge to not apply to spells. Sonya should be once per turn. Any time a neutral card is in more than 30% of decks, add 2 mana, even if it goes above 10.

    So every deck needs to end the game early or have some ridiculous combo from hand. For me it completely takes the fun out of trying to make your own cool decks. End rant, love the content Zeddy!

    One annoying thing about the toxic module zilliax is how harshly it beats down anything board based. Any deck that isnt going at aggro speeds kinda is forced to run yogg due to that - another card I REALLY dislike being so damn prevalent in any remotely lategame strategy.
    Ticking module and power module zilliax are both kind of just.. highroll cards. They can just seal games right then and there if you are a bit lucky. Always make you feel like youve been robbed, kind of. And well, aside from having such strong high roll potential, they are just good cards in their decks, too, simple as that.

    First of all, thanks Zeddy for your content, i like the perspective you can put in your videos, often leading to a good insight and thinking about some of Hearthstone aspects that could go unseen.
    I'm playing Hearthstone since 2016, and my two cents about Zilliax are that its not a single card the great issue we face nowadays.
    At least in my point of view, the problem stands in not having an accurate beta-test of cards BEFORE they are released, and probably a way to develop the game in a too much different way that old players like me used to know.
    OTKs are a plague that needs to be removed... i don't really see the point of having fun in closing a game after 5-6 turns... why on earth did Brode left the ship? :(

    The nerf to zilliax should limit the modules that can be mixed together, so no 2 modules of the same mana cost can be combined, then they can have the problematic powerful modules that are too strong together both be cheaper, as they would no longer be able to be placed with each other. This would stop virus and perfection from being on 1 zilliax and would allow neither of the modules to get nerfed further, it would also make balancing the modules easier for the devs as it won't be key word removal or mana cost adjustment, it would just be mana cost adjustment

Warrior can back to Reno and resurect it two times, druid can generate 4 or more 8 mana spells. and Yea, the problem persists. Also Priest still capable of playing the 4 mana location, generating Unkiliax of your Unkilliax, playing it as 1 mana 1/1 and having back with 4/1 at reborn stage. More infinite games with 50 or 60 turns. This card just needs a ban.

You can’t target it with abilities and spells, you just have to send all your minions in and heal up your opponent so they can rez two more fresh ones.

Also, unkilliax is similar to reno, a symptom of this insanely agressive card design that exists today, where the only way to play cards that cost 8 or more is to have cards like zilliax and reno in your deck to fucking survive taking 20-30 damage by turn 3

    Nerfing other cards because of Zilliax is like punishing the bully victim instead of the bully. You don't solve the problem at it's root, you're just doing something (bad) about what iss going on at that very moment. If Zillax is such a problem now AND the before, it will be a problem again later.

    I feel like the biggest offender is BY FAR the 8 mana 3/5 Zilliax that actually costs 0 and gives +1/+1 to your board. Like I can't even play 2 minions without them cheating it out on turn 3-4 and now they can value trade my whole board and if I don't kill Zilliax immediately the game is lost by next turn. It's a hard carry in EVERY aggro deck.

    Zilliax is a historically broken card. It was nerfed THREE TIMES in its release expansion, and it’s still the best card in standard and one of the top cards in wild. It may be an unfixable design. I think because of how unprecedentedly broken it is, they need a complete rework of the card from the bottom up or just rotate it early. I personally think it should just be rotated.

      Having a custom card isn't the problem. It's the fact that 2 specific modules are stupid.
      Ticking Module providing mass mana cheat, especially for those lovely aggro flood decks.
      While Virus Module provides Elusive and Reborn which makes the minion so incredibly difficult to deal with (Especially when combined with Divine Shield from Perfect Module)
      If they outright deleted Ticking and Virus Modules, the card would be fine and wouldn't be a big deal. The worst case would be Twin Module in Reno Warrior for triple 6/5's with Rush, Lifesteal, Taunt and Divine Shield or in Handbuff Pally to make big attack doubling bodies.

      From experience going against Elemental Rouge, all they got is the Lamp Lighter combo.

Shaman and Mage got enough temp and value that two Lamp Lighter’s are enough to close games.
