In my opinion,these cards should be nerfed. Gargologist-cost increased to 3. This card is basically a better upgrade to flag zombie,and changing it to a 2/3 for 3 is balanced. defensive end:attack reduced to 4 well who in the world increased its attack by 1 when its cost is increased by one?Take one and that away makes it a fairly balanced card. Teleport:card draw removed basically BS you can cycle your deck for a zombie using this card

Come on, friend. These topics are already up, and you posted the same damn thing twice. Seriously, change your deck. Run doom shroom on em. Sometimes you need to change the way you play to match the meta, instead of trying to change the game around how you play.

another nerf post. *Facepalm* I guess that's why I come less and less on these boards...

Change your deck to match the meta, or keep crying. Either way, i don't care anymore. Some of you need to learn how to lose... snh "Sweet Potato costs one. it'll take a hit and give you time to destroy it." Yeah, give your opponent the free card advantage. See what I mean? That's all Defensive End is: A free card advantage. There are only 2 actual trades with it the turn it is played, Mushroom Ringleader (if you're lucky) and Guacodile (God I love Guacodile. And yes, I could "change my deck to include Guacodile, then", but most of my Guardian decks already have 2-3 of them, and most Hearty decks have 2-3 Defensive Ends. You can only draw so many Guacodiles). And yeah, for the most part, plants and Zombies are equal (even though that completely goes against my most recent thread. I guess I changed my mind). "Some of you need to learn how to lose" I love losing and changing my decks/heroes, but whenever I actively lose to one specific combo or card no matter what deck/hero/play style I use, that's when I say it's unfair. It's like if Rock beat both Scissors and Paper.

Zombot 9000 * on cornucopia. Teleport it in turn ten. Solar flare... well, tell the people * on it with garg/def end or prof/valk decks that solar is op.Grapes of wrath... yeah, it's hella strong. I don't think it needs nerfed, though, unless you wanna knock trickster down a peg too.Again, change your deck to match the meta, don't change the game to match how you play. Any deck you're running that's between 50% - 60% win rate is great. That's just standard card games. The other thing noone ever seems to mention: there are counter decks to every deck. Its going to seem like it's op when you find the one for yours, but they have theirs too.

I'm right there, borisso. People seem appalled at the idea they may have to change their decks to match the current threats...

Ok, I think I understand your usage now. Thanks for the explanation. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that usage came to be. There doesn't seem to be any link to the true definition of the prefix "meta" at all - hence my reason for needing to ask about it.

You're still making quite a few assumptions though (probably why you got offended so easily).

For one; I understand how words can change their meanings over time, and new words get made up. This is generally the result of kids and foreign language speaking immigrants that don't have a very good grasp of the language. I assumed kids in this case.

Secondly; I don't play other card games like this, so using them as an example of why I should know doesn't really work. (My brother has been playing Magic for 20+ years, and I haven't heard him use the term "meta" either).

Also; I have no idea what "moba", "dota" and "smite" are. I was under the impression Yu Gi Oh was like Pokemon.

Grinning... i am sorry. You really didn't know. That's my bad. It really is common though.

I would explain mobas to you, but I'm not a huge enough fan of them to try lol. They're probably the most popular competive game style out right now. Examples are league of Legends, defense of the ancients, smite, paladins, heroes of the storm.

And i think it came about because meta generally means a self reference... the meta of the game are the cards and decks that are basically the choir of the game at that moment. When we say prof/valk everyone knows what deck we're talking about because it is a core (meta) deck of the game

That's a better way to explain it. The core trends.

So when we say certain cards will shake the meta up, we're saying that some things being introduced are gonna to fundamentally change the core of the current gameplay trends.

Thank you. I get it now.

Generally when I come across a new term I can figure out what it means just based on its usage and a general understanding of the language.(prefix, suffix, base word).

This one threw me for a loop.

I'm sorry if I offended you with my usage of "kids". It really wasn't directed at you personally. It's just a reflection of my annoyance with kids and their (lack of) language skills.

I've been seeing the term a lot since playing this game and visiting the Reddit forums. I figured I would ask on this forum instead though.
