How to fix Millstalker issue - forever?

[maskee]

Hi,
We all knows how anoying is to play against millstalker. This deck is that evil to be banned in most of tournaments.
DT makes many anti millstalker cards in DP and SE but he is still very strong.
So my question is what is your opinion on how to solve this forever and do not kill MS standard allyed build.

My suggestion: ban Lone Wolf card from the game - i think that without that card Millstalker will be half that strong, still playable but autoloss against mages, zal. And it will not hurt DC or Bloodfang.
Its very easy to do, we know that is possible to ban card (like DT did with bugged Sladgehammer - card exist but cant be put into deck). I will let card playable for meltdown of course.
I know it will be first time, but DT must admit their mistake and take responsibility.

Lone Wolf is actually useful for solo DC

This isnt even a issue IMO millstalker is only strong against builds without ways to deal with his stealth,draw,and other support abilities. I dont see any reason why a ban of lone wolf would b necessary. I havent seen or played against a 300+ rated millstalker. If youre seeing millstalker often change builds or use a different hero but ban Lone Wolf lol thats extreme.

Solo DC is fairly playable without Lone Wolf... I think even better than with it.

So why is it banned in tournaments?

Only reason why Millstalker is not over 300+ too much is because really good players likes skill decks and plays for fun. And Millstalker is not fun... millstalker was much more common in rating based top100 times.
Nowadays I see mostly very bad players plays Millstalker and fortunatelly they pilot it badly. But I think it is still big issue.

Cuz tourneys would last forever cuz the deck is built to stall\mill tourneys go for 2-3 hours usually imagine how long it would b if just one millstalker participated? I do not believe millstalker is anywhere near OP enough to ban Lone Wolf. That just sounds crazy IMO and Lone Wolf is essential for solo DC so it would weaken two deck types neither of them are strong in current meta anyway. As i said in many threads before success in qm is based upon being able to read the meta and adjust accordingly. Ban Lone Wolf nah i doubt that even happens.

Because tournaments don't have regulated round times.

I can understand it in pop ups. But standard tournaments has even week for round... Seems enough for making a match with millstalker (not sure if it enough for two millstalkers playes in match:-)

Millstalker is already auto loss vs mages, if the opponent have few skills, and NO to ban any cards.

The solution to Millstalker for most ally intensive decks - include 2 Sorcerors of Endia / Rapacious Vermin in deck. Build up allies, use item destruction on the evil ascendants / Arthyle's Crypt (so they can't cycle furion terrors). Once you have lethal damage on the board, wait for them to play rain delay / full moon. Destroy it with Vermin/ Endia and it's game over. If you don't want to wait that long, include a few widespread decays in deck.

Of course there are many more direct solutions, but that's a simple solution that also helps you vs a lot of other decks.
