People have learned that if you one off a quick NERF X, MY MAN FEELINGS HURT post, you get a lot of attention and a zillion replies. You aren’t the only one with this pet peeve. Let’s hope they are too distracted by Mercy/Maw nerf cries to focus on Mab. 😛 ---

Can we please stop all the nerf talk until after they appear on consoles so we can at least get some time with the strong and powerful? ---

I think I want to try some combination of Mab, Jarl, Venoxia, and Moloch, just to see the craziness that occurs on 4-gem matches. ---

Nice. Technically speaking, we don’t even have Mercy yet though she’s at least installed and should be coming soon™. But everyone else? Hopefully in the next patch likewise coming soon™, but not as soon. ---

> [@Lyya](#): > > Jarl Firemantle\*\*\* > Valkyrie\*\*\* > Queen Mab\*\*\* > Mercy\*\*\* > Blue/purple banner. I played that (just moving Mercy 2 times up) with Yellow / Blue banner. Called it “North Remembers” (GoT reference) as 3/4 troops are from northern kingdoms. Now I’ve changed that to Blue/Red Gorgotha Naga Queen Valkyrie Queen Mab And named it “Hell or Heaven”, as troops seems to go from hellish one (daemon) to angels (divine) while going through mid evil (marauder) and mid holy (fey) 😛 Oh, also, it’s much more effective than Jarl x) ---

I’ve been trying for a long while to get my Watcher (with Arcane) to really shine. Maybe a Mab team is finally the place to do it? ---

good idea. watcher is good but i think he should be buffed so that his splash drains too. ---

One of the good synergies here is Mab gives status effects, so you get the Watcher drain. Of course, the drain means less damage from mana burn… ---

No, you’ll want to feed Mab with blue, not purple to get the extra turn (wich won’t fit a deck made of Mab and Watcher) Plus, as you said, mana burn and mana drain don’t synergize to well (although freeze and mana drain does !) You might prefer Jarl to go with Watcher, something like Jarl / Terraxis / Watcher or Jarl / Giant Spider / Valkyrie / Watcher ---

I was looking at something with Soothsayer and Watcher together. When both are fully traited, each time you use Soothsayer, Watcher gains 2 magic and bulks up very quickly. Even though they share brown, Soothsayer can help generate mana quickly so it shouldn’t be a problem. Maybe with Jarl and/or Borealis if you want to go Brown heavy and have a Fire and Ice set up so someone should always have a status effect. ---

Haha still not hugely impressed… I rarely see Mab and when I do the frozen is rarely an inconvenience… Frozen tags me occasionally if I hit a Bone Dragon but usually just work around it and use spell damage… ---

Her third trait will most probably not be the cause for any nerfs at least 😉 ---
