Midrange is also the most amorphous of any archetype as it can be used to describe decks that lean heavily in the direction of other archetypes.

Midrange decks can be aggressive like blue hunter or slower like ability-heavy mages. They can feature combos and tons of synergy like Tyrus or just be as steady and inevitable as a freight train like red warlock. This deck is from another Metamart 3k where Eric Buckendorf took it to a top 8 finish. It is a great example of a meat-and-potatoes midrange deck. You have good hand disruption, cheap interaction, a value-generating ally base, and plenty of card draw.

You can grind out games against aggro decks using Dethvir and Undercity to keep you alive or try and get under control decks with your sticky allies like Dethvir and Nathanos. This list uses Kite particularly well with both the Stash ally Cairne and the mount Dreadsteed being great allies to activate it.

Josh Magelssen piloted this list to a top 8 at the very same St. It just trades the potential of an insane curve for hard to answer threats, cards that generate value, and Blizzard synergies. Since midrange decks are typically a bit slow it often comes down to which deck plays the more expensive and powerful cards. Please read Blizzard. It is something your deck needs you to know about.

Even if they missed the mark on some, you can tell they at least tried. With these, the concept art looks cool, but if you asked me to match each one up to a class, I could not do it for half of them, and the ingame result just makes them look like generic dungeon sets, only instead of 4 there is 12 of them.

Gonna be real I thought the demon hunter armor was the one set you get from Legion questing. Yea can't get excited about em either. Considering they're trying to hype it up to be this grand finale to 30 years of storytelling I'd expect the accompanying class sets to be the epitome of class sets consisting of design driven by what players loved most about past sets or something utterly unique like robes made of pure light or magic, enchanted chainmail that make your shamy look like a hurricane think an "ethereal race filter" over your char or a druid sets that gives you actual bark skin.

Anything cool at all. These sets are just uninspired. They don't even manage to be terrible no skulls for once is a win in my book , they're just bland. Technically they gave Tier Sets back, they just forgot what class fantasy was. It all just looks like Kyrian armor - randomasiandude It all looks like questing greens. They could have put some of the 9. Legion had some of the best class based sets ever even if one set was a 'remake'. Everyone loved Order Halls. Blizzard, please, people like their class.

Class pride is more of a thing than faction pride ever was. Don't make generic sets, make sets that make you look like the most badass of your class on the planet. I think the concept artists have no idea that wow has races other than human.

This is for sure a strategy for them to never have us ask for tier sets again. Now they can avoid doing them from We heard your feedback about tier sets not fitting in to the game anymore and to accommodate you, we have decided to remove them.

In a place that can apparently remake reality, first one's only made 1 mold for each class. Personally, I like the concept they were going for. Taking the theme and color palette of the raid and making the different sets consistent with each other while maintaining the "essence" of each class.

Not every hunter set needs to be full of furs and bones in order to have "class fantasy". However, the quality of the designs per se varies a lot. I think the mail and leather sets look great and are easily recognizable, but the ones for casters and plate wearers are still underdesigned.

Mage and Paladin in particular suck. Also in general they should further highlight the shiny bits like in the concept sketches. OK to be fair, at least 2 of those look substantally worse because they aren't on humans.

Not a fan of the aesthetic generally though. Man, the people who play this game are insane. Warcraft has some great sets and some shit sets, and these are just middle of the road. I get not liking the theme, Firelands had a shit theme too. But overall design is good for the theming and the consistency is high. I'm not going to piss on these people for delivering on a promise everyone accused them of not trying to keep in the first place.

We got the tier sets - sick. The sets are the one good thing in the preview. That Reddit is hate training them makes me think you guys will just scoff at anything they produce no matter what. In the end, there's still plenty of time to improve the set in-game looks, as the concept art really does seem like a solid hit with the community, so hopefully Blizzard can improve their actual implementation to get it up to the expected standards.

It is, after all, a big homecoming for tier sets, shouldn't it be a little special? WoW's 17th Anniversary Event Details.
