Does Magmar need a nerf?

[gamerbothd]

I challenge any and all Duelysts to give me a good reason why Magmar needs a nerf! I am tired of the Magmar hate. Magmar isn’t even that good in this current meta, so why is everyone advocating for a nerf? Magmar is actually underpowered at the moment. So join me and stop the Magmar hate!

• Nerf Magmar
• Buff Magmar
• Keep it the same

If you voted to nerf Magmar, please provide an argument and I, and any other volunteers, will try to rebutt it. Perhaps you are right, and we can find common ground.

Strongest minions, strongest removal, strongest burst, strongest General, and strongest AoE. Actually, strongest in almost everything. Name one thing Magmar can’t do best.

Strongest removal? They have have three good hard removal spells, natural selection, which can only kill small attack minions. Plasma storm, which, again, can only kill small attack minions. And homeostatic rebuke, yes a good spell, but all factions have access to sunset paragon. (Also I’ve created another thread to talk about this so let’s move this out of here).

strongest burst

Have you heard of songhai? Hint hint, their burst is by far the best and not matched by Magmar.

[halcyon98]

Songhai does about half the burst of Magmar, so it’s pretty strong.

[gamerbothd]

Firestorm mantra. Eight gates. Mask of shadows + bangle. Yes. “Half the burst.” What insane burst cards does magmar have that compare to songhai? Decispikes? That’s only 9 damage for 7 mana. (Dealing 3 damage to yourself). Name some magmar burst cards that are out of the ordinary compared to other factions.

[halcyon98]

Greater Fortitude deals 10. Actually, what’s the point of this. What a waste of time.

Greater Fortitude deals 10

When put upon ripper. Which has to hatched to become unexhausted. And 10 damage? That’s all you’ve got? Songhai has lethal or almost lethal bursts.

Actually, what’s the point of this. What a waste of time.

Well that’s a convenient way to avoid debate.

Ripper is overpowered. Decispikes is the aggro of all aggros. Plasma storm hit almost full board since most of the key monions are 3 attack. Rebuke shuts down entire boards. Zeotic charm - no words needed. Sunset paragon is a five mana minion, rebuke is a full board paragon for four mana. Deathwatch is not that good, magmar usually counters abyss to the ground. My good man - magmar needs a tweak and a nerf, and almost every high elo player will say so. Me included.

Post it here.

Ripper is overpowered.

To be honest, I agree. I would say ripper is a bit too strong. Perhaps a nerf to ragnora, not magmar itself.

[bepoest]

Magmar’s Kujata and Flash Reincarnation, together with Starhorn’s BBS and Seismoid make sure that no new Neutral Mech win con or enabler can be added unless it’s markedly slow or overpriced.

Edit: Or has the “Except for Magmar” keyword.

[gamerbothd]

Mechs. Mechs. Must I even answer this? Yes, quite hypocritical of me

[snowshot]

Ohh thank you for agreeing to a problem the whloe dooly world alreasy deem problematic.

[gamerbothd]

Well I was just turning attention away from magmar and more specifically to ragnora.

[snowshot]

Songhai doesn’t carry 10 dmg 6 mana combo out of three cards.

[gamerbothd]

Btw a general question. If magmar is so overpowered, and, as people have said, “Almost unbeatable,” why does Magmar see rare play?

[gamerbothd]

It’s not as if mantra decks carry lethal in their hand at any given point using only one minion before hand (abjudicator).

I challenge any and all steves

In remembrance of @galaxydueler. The void he has left us here…
Some of you will understand.

[schoolmanatee]

Wanderer Ragnora is literally the top of the meta deck list.

ummmmm…?

[gamerbothd]

Again, doesn’t mean that it’s unbeatable. Also this brings us back to the discussion of nerfing ragnora, and not magmar.
