Hearthpwn

I feel that Blizzard is being creative with there new mechanics to bring fresh air to Hearthstone. But I feel that they make those and then leave them be. The first one they abandoned was inspire. Inspire was fun and not quite what they expected. But is that a reason to abandon it? The same thing happened with the multiple class cards. That was very cool. But no new ones ever since?

Those 2 mechanics were both my favorite ones in the game. I hope one day they will bring new fresh cards with these mechanics. Do any of you agree with me? Or am I just wrong?

The grand tournament expansion was their only huge failure (in terms of competitive cards) and it seems like they just want to forget everything they made in this expansion. I think we will see inspire and maybe joust one day again but at the moment they seem to be still traumatized.

About the tri-class cards; it's like C'Thun, I think it was ment to be a one of. I think they stated (before gadgedzan released) that they might add tri-class cards again in future expansions but not in the near future ones. -> I am quite sure that we will see this mechanic again if the thematic of the expansion fits.

expansions in heathstone have a mechanic that is part of the identity of each expension if thoose mechanic would just be in all following expansions that make the expansions less unique.

Multi-class Cards are most likely going to make a return if an Expansion has a space for it which was not the case in the last 2 expansions because we did not even have space left for multi-class legendaries. Also if we get to many different multi-class combinations and they have Cards like cabal curier we could end up with a Situation were we had to Play around any card in the game and I do think that is a bit to wild for the Standard meta game for Blizzards liking. It does seem likely that that we could get wore multi-class cards after the next rotation.

Inspire was a horribly slow mechanic that saw no play, it was also flavorful only for TGT. Same with the triclass cards: it was there for Gadgetzan. Let them be fresh every expansion instead of polluting the new sets with boring and old mechanics that see no play.

Inspire was slow, clunky and not very popular among the playerbase. That is why it was dropped.

Only two of those cards were auto picks in a short space of time. 

Rather than a full rebirth, if i were them, i'd reserve a couple of filler cards to experiment a bit more with those forgotten mechanics, Joust and Inspire.

Joust can be easily balanced, see King's Elekk. 

Inspire is harder, but i think its main problem was the expectation to apply combo effects every time. Instead, inspire should probably be just a minor bonus on a card that works on its own anyway.

Triclass is a tricky thing, and not even a real mechanic. Just restriction over a bunch of neutrals. And faction specific traits cannot be improved any further, because of Wild.

You can argue that the new Death Knight heroes are Inspire taken to the max.

 What? Inspire was clunky and unpopular? What abot cards like Thunder Bluff Valiant, Confessor Paletress, Murloc Knight? What about Savage Combatant? Even Nexus-Champion Saraad and Kodorider had seen play in Reno-decks.

Grand Tournament was a set with a lot of great designed cards, idk what are all of you people talking about.

They are making things fresh, but one at a time. It's good for business, and good for the meta. We see something new every expansion and that's a good thing.

 Instead of abandoning inspire they could have refined it more, the idea of inspire was great just the execution is that was flawed.

there actually were some quite good inspire cards like thunder bluff valiant and murloc knight which both saw a good amount of play, its just that the other cards did not have quite the same power level.

they would just have to print more inspire type cards on the power level of murloc knight and im sure it would be a viable mechanic.

I think inspire will make a comeback in an expansion with a thematic similar to TGT, but it might take a while. What i hope is that next year we get new quest cards, but they will probably make more quest cards only when Un'goro rotates out in 2019.
