    the first banning of a card in constructed format.  interesting.  I really like it to be honest.  Doesn't disrupt the card in standard and just removes the problem completely from wild.  I also like that theyre acknowledging that it should be done sparingly.

    I wouldn't say the first nerf was a buff but it definitely wasn't a nerf lol.  More of a rebalance.  They removed tempo and added value.  Slower decks like N'zoth and Libram didn't mind this at all but the more aggressive paladin lists definitely did.

     

    I don't see much issue with OMY.  I can see the argument that a lot of people don't like it but a lot of matchups and decks can deal with it easily, and it can always backfire in the players face.

     

    Kind of agree with hand, i thought it was very strong but fine but they wanted to lower the overall power, especially early power, of paladin and hitting an auto include makes sense.

    FDOS nerf does weaken conviction a bit though, at least in standard.  It's harder to be wide on curve for conviction to stick two minions that can go face.  I dont a payoff card like conviction being strong especially with some new aoe coming in the mini set.

    This card is kind of nutty right.  It just does so much.  Nzoth synergy, Saurfang synergy, very easy to proc the frenzy and 8 lifegain is a lot, 2/5 weapon is a lot of swings.  curves into saurfang too and warriors dont have any meaningful 6 cost things i dont think.  You can sword eater swing, swing, then play this and swing five more times.

    Pretty cool promotion vid.  I binged a lot of his vids like last year.  The puzzles are sick.  This one was fairly interesting.

    My feelings are almost exactly in line with Flux's post above.  Hearthstone is 'expensive' but so are card games in general.  As far as digital CCGs it has set the standard.  MTGA is no less expensive.  Not sure about LoR but it doesn't look that different to me.  

    I'm also going to give blizz more than a business day to make a statement or change.  It's only been a whole business day on friday and most of the complaints amassed over the weekend.  If they don't say something this week then I will start to feel some type of way.

    It's also pretty disappointing that they would release it like this in the first place, because this isn't a "oh the community figured out it was too low for us".  They knew.  

    If they just adjust the late track rewards, adjust the exp rate, i'll be fine.  The new system itself is cool.

    I could kind of see this card seeing some play in any deck that wants to resurrect deathrattles like the new hunter card Jewel of N'Zoth.  Ressurecting cards with keywords like Rush is always strong because it allows you to impact the board on your big value turn.  The +3/+3 effect on this card also scales with some deathrattle cards hunter might play like Bloated Python, Augmented Porcupine, etc. and makes those cards quite strong to play for their small mana cost in the late game with the buffs.  

    This also curves into Darkmoon Tonk, which idk if you run that card but it is worth considering.

    You wouldn't hate hitting face with this and getting the draw from Maxima Blastenheimer

    And this is all just hunter stuff.

     

    It's got a tribal tag and good text.  I think this card will see some play honestly.  There are too many little good things goin on for it to never find a deck.

    Very solid card.  Kind of like Soulshard Lapidary but with a bit less burst and stats, but the upside of flexibility of windfury and the huge upside of getting the effect every turn it sticks, not just a battlecry.  

     

    Scales with a weapon but also good on its own.  You really wouldn't enjoy tanking a 4/4, but you could if you have to.  picking off two 2/2s with this will feel good.  With a good weapon you could even punch through a taunt and hit face the same turn, so very good pressure card.

    This is *fine* but I don't think it's quite good enough.  Maybe i'm totally off but I was feeling like Shaman needed a bonkers weapon to push this "enhancement weapon shaman" deck and I don't think this is quite there.  The 2/2 tutor and the legendary are both really good though.

    Great card.  This is the kind of card shaman needs to be good.  Decent body, tutors one of you build around cards.  great early and still fine to draw later on.  

     

    Probably some applications for this little bugger in wild.  even shaman, quest shaman with jades.

    This is less of a meme than it appears.  Like it could actually be pretty strong.  Turning an on curve aoe into something thats not aoe can be game winning for aggro.  Sure it can still hit a different aoe or removal and be good, but if you have control of the board then you also might get your board buffed or they just whiff.  I feel like more often than not the spell they end up hitting will be better than what they wanted to play.  

    There isn't really an aggro paladin right now and I kind of doubt pure or libram paladin wants this.

     

    You'll have to be careful about turning their coin into something good though.  lol at coin turning into innervate.  

     

    but in wild does it protect your minions more than Never Surrender!? which sees some play in odd pally, that remains to be seen.  from what I know right now this seems like it would have more potential in wild where there are more decks that might want to play it and the power and effect of individual spells is much stronger.

    exactly what shaman needed to be good.  /s  Just disappointed to see this as an epic slot.

     

    Card art is nice and cute, seems like it could be good meme.

    this would actually be good if it was an aura that buffed your hero power.  This card is solid but it isn't enabling totem shaman at all.

    Seems good, it's sticky as hell.  They have to do a total wipe of your board to get rid of this thing if they can't silence/transform it.  and since it has taunt that can make it pretty difficult.  

     

    Druid will need some better token stuff in standard probably but it's not far off.  

     

    I kind of love this card on first impression and I hope it has a deck.

    this card is just insane and super flexible.  It's shadowstep with a body but it's incredibly strong on higher cost things.  You don't have to hit something insane like toggwaggle, kronx, or jandice for this to be good, but you can.

     

    Just value trade with a shield of galakrond or faceless corrupter or something and then bounce it back is super good.  You can still bounce and Edwin or evil miscreant and play it for the same price as a shadow step.

    This is super strong imo.  Probably not a facehunter card but any kind of midrangey or secret hunter is going to want this.

     

    Two secrets is 4 mana so you're basically getting to discover them and get a 2/2 weapon for free.  Arcane Keysmith saw play and this is better than that.
