I didn't see Ulti's old comments (this alt is new so I see it here) but I have to agree with what's presented here. Caverns Below is absolute shit for the meta. It's almost singularly the reason why I dislike Ungoro more than Gadgetzan and haven't been motivated to explore any design space. You basically have two kinds of decks -- decks that slaughter quest rogue and decks that are run over by quest rogue.

I've played less since Ungoro's release, and when I have, I generally concede against quest rogue on turn 1. To put that in perspective for you, I never concede any game even when the result is a foregone conclusion, and fight things out to the bitter end. Quest rogue is simply that much not worth the effort involved. Unless, of course, I'm playing an aggressive deck that feasts on QR, but usually I'm not.

If Caverns Below becomes unplayable, that's regrettable, because that means we only have one viable quest deck now, and a couple others that might be fringe. In other words, questing is a failed mechanic, or at least the extreme options presented in Un'goro are, anyhow. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that QR is so incredibly polarizing that even with allegedly sub-50% win rates, it's poison. I haven't been this bothered by a deck, and I've lived through all the old classics like undertaker hunter, secret paladin, pirate warrior, etc. For once, my response is to raze it to the ground and dance on its grave.

It's a shame, too, because I earmarked the card pre-release as potentially a really fun card to play with, and opened one on release. I was well-positioned to be happily playing quest rogue, until it turned into what the deck eventually became.



edit: as a sidenote, I just cleaned out my ignore list.
