The problem you don't mention is that this new systems want you to be hardcore, because this system binds you for playing more with effective less reward than the old system.
- Lightning Bloom is the only card I think needs a nerf. This along with Kael'thas Sunstrider is pure cancer. Even aggro decks have difficulty chasing after druid, and that's not normally a good sign. I think the most appropriate nerf is to simply change lightning bloom to refresh rather than give mana. That allows both druid and shaman to continue playing with more mana while also stopping those mad turn 3-5 kael'thas into something like Survival of the Fittest or Guardian Animals.
Exactly this. I played my first game today as aggro rogue and I would say my start was decent but I got totally crushed at T7 by druid. He managed to play two combos with KT: 1st his 10-Mana spell to buff his minions and second to pull his minions from his deck with that 7-mana spell and healed himself for 10 (with 2x 1-mana heal 5). I conceded after that.
GG WP Blizzard. F2P is dead, when the next expansion hits. Removing Quests and earing gold individually on player's own speed, but force them to get limited rewards sounds like a trap for casuals and whales, who should pay more, if they want more cards. You will no longer be able to get a great amount of gold with this new system.
Otherwise players who kept all the cards and bought new packs with money or gold instead of dusting the wild cards, will be very pissed, if they hand out those cards "for free" now.
But Blizzard always seems to care more about new players than loyal fans.
They never would give all wild cards for free, that would be stupid and cut their profit in half or more, even when we know that players can purchase older packs.
Better greenskin except it doesn't have the pirate tag.. so if you don't care about that pirate tag it's that.. also goes well with all the new expansion dual class cards so far.
It's more conditional than Greenskin. If the enemys (likely in Priest or Mage) has no board on T5, then you won't get your weapon buffed. This card can be better than Greenskin, but it's unlikely and most of the time it is like Greenskin with the upside that he has rush.
The reason why you don't see more of it is because it's basically big priest 2.0. Extremely one-dimensional, unfun to play against and very draw reliant.
The reason why big priest players haven't switched to shaman yet is because they either stopped playing due to the deck being near-useless at this point (and rightfully so), or because they're extremely slow on the uptake and haven't gotten wind of this new deck yet.
With the difference that Big Priest can do sth. Shaman isn't good at: "Rise again, my heroes!" *multiple Rags and statues comes out of the ashes.
Kazakus is from the MSoG expansion and is part of the tri-class-card mechanic. Tri-class divides into three groups Goons, Cabal or Jade Lotus. Kazakus belongs to Cabal and are only for Priest, Mage or Warlock.
Why should he? Zephyr isn't able to read text and you want him that a dormant minion, which is not active, Zephyr should do sth about it? It's impossible, because you would need to rework Zephyr. I don't think Blizzard will do sth and they shouldn't anyway, because I don't an strong card like Zephyr to be stronger. Just wait for it unleash and then yeah Zephyr might offer you Sac pac.
A bit silly though you get the new expansion packs as a rewards in may, but overall I think the rewards are very good value. I climbed to gold 5 in just 6 undefeated games (which if I'm correct is the old rank 10), so that's very fast. Once I run out of stars though the climb will be harder, but does anyone know if you winstreaks continue to Legend now?
Actually no, because the gold league is more in line between 15-11 (old rang) and rang 10-6 is platinum and diamond is rang 5-1.
I wish they would make the wild cache separate from the standard one. Instead of rewarding classic packs, reward random wild packs to help encourage more people to play wild.
But, maybe I'm just being greedy.
Why do you think that's greedy? For me it would perfectly fine, if the rewards are separated, because you also have to do the extra climb in wild, so why not encourage people for doing both climbs in wild and standard? I don't see how this is greedy...
That's why I think, that it it's pointless not to benefit from your current multiplier and the "freedom" the game offers is just us punishing ourselves. The game holds our hands, while we are climbing, so I don't think it's logical to avoid the obvious support.
It sounds more like you are addicted to use everything possible to achieve the best possible result and in this case, yeah you are right it's easier, but I see this from a different perspective, because now with the new ranked system Hearthstone can be a game what it is advertised: A fun and fast game with strategy elements. Casual players now have a better chance to get better rewards, better progress, but they still won't be legend, because you need still some grind for it, even it is faster than the old one.
To counter raza priest, there's no many ways to tech against it since they can easily remove bombs and albatrosses from their decks with Wyrmrest Purifier.
How is W. Pruifier a counter? You get random class cards, that means you can still get duplicates, I don't see how it is a good counter to Bombs or Albatross, because that Raza player still get some trash cards and this is the purpose of Bombs and Albatross.
Not sure about that DH will be Tier 1, but I am totally sure about that he will be the most played class in the next weeks/months, because it's new class.
No. Demon hunter intial set will be possible till 2022 or forever. It is not decided yet.

Protip: You also have that Tour Guide that makes your hero power cost 0 as t1 play followed by this minion.

Evil draw close...
Finally nerfs, though there are cards I didn't except to see on the list.
Prediction:
Battlefiend: Increase to 2 mana or decrease one health.
Altruis: can't dmg face.
Glaivebound Adept: Increase to 6 mana
Kaelthas: condition for fourd or fifth spell or 8-mana cost
Albatross: Increase mana cost
Frenzied Felwing: „Cost (2) less for each ...“
Open the Waygate: 10 or 15 spells
Bloodbloom: 4 mana
Sac pac: friendly demon.
Talking about sins, when playing Hearthstone. KEK. Still congratulations to your legend run.

Sounds real and shows how op dh really is.Still great video.

Why should I put myself in unneeded disadvantage?
