The Rastakhan's Rumble expansion was realeased almost a month ago and only a few of these new cards have been used so far. I don't think the RR will have any impact in the meta for the upcoming months.
There's not even Legendaries we can build decks around like there were in the other expansions. The only exception is Zuildjian but it's a card that wiil only be used in one type of deck: Spell Hunter.
I like the expansion, I just haven't opened the packs yet (saving them until New Year with a few friends). I will definitely mess around in Wild with Yogg/Zul'jin Hunter maybe a Holy Wrath Paladin with Thekal/Giants/Shirvallah, and some Undatakah decks

I wasnt refering to card desing! I am disapointed because there's not a single Legendary card we can build our decks around... Zul'jin is the only good Legendary card but its only playable in a specific deck of a specific class: Spell Hunter.
In the other expansions you had cards like Lich King, Zilliax, Prince Keleseth, Greymane and so on...
RR is a good expansion. Fun cards, actually lots of viable legendaries etc. However, the problem is KnC and KoFT's powerlevels are too high. So it seems that Blizzard has decided the decrease the powerlevel of other expansions (Witchwood, Boomsday and RR) so that once rotation happens in April these expansions will become more relevant.
Otherwise Blizzard would be forced to release more and more broken cards which basically would ruin the game.
People will propably state that TGT is the worst expansion - for me it was one of the more fun expansions with a lot of creative deck building. I think the worst expansion is MSoG because it brought with it the worse stone, paper, scissor meta - Jadedruid may you never return.
Wow, I think you overreact. It's way too early to predict.
1. The expansion is only 2 weeks old. 2. There is a few cards you can build decks around - Oondasta, Da Undatakah, Zul'jin (as you mentioned), High Priest Thekal etc.7
You can't predict the upcoming meta yet, so stop posting these kind of salty posts.
I'm out.

It's the best expansion this year in terms of design and flavor but unfortunately the power level is not there. I hope the cards from RR see more play after rotation.

What? Every single legendary. EVERY SINGLE LEGENDARY.

This. The cards of this expansion aren't the problem, the problem is the previous expansions.
I've just checked the decks used in HTC Philadelphia: Ondaasta and Undatakah (both Rastakahn tier 1 Legendaries) are not even used in DeathRattle Hunter or Beast Druid.
I think i'll save most of my dust to April 2019 expansion ;)
Gadgetzan and Witchwood beat it as the worst. Even Boomsday wasn't all that great so if anything it will only be able to be the 4th worst.

Even in the competitive scene there's not much use of new Legendaries or even Epic cards.. we can seee this in HTC Philadelphia https://www.hearthpwn.com/news/6339-top-decks-from-hct-philadelphia
What do you think? Am i overreacting this shi**y expansion?

Actually it's one of the best expansions so far both in terms of card design and mechanics.
TGT is by far the worse ,RR is still better than MSOG I think.

It is getting worse with every new expansion, isn't it???
Dead but dreaming
In response to , "There's not even Legendaries we can build decks around like there were in the other expansions."
The pessimist in me knows it won't last forever but having fun with discard lock in Wild. (While it's new and different)
Not sure if hyped yet.
No where close to a month, there are plenty of legendaries that have birthed new decks, Shirvallah, the Tiger, Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk, Da Undatakah, Hakkar, the Soulflayer, Gonk, the Raptor, Krag'wa, the Frog I could keep going but I hope you get the gist of it.
No one builds a deck around The Lich King or Zilliax btw
It's not.
Posts about "This is the worst expansion evah!!1!!!!" are getting worse every expansion, though.

TGT laughs at this thread.
What? Since when a bit less than two weeks is considered almost a month? This expansion was released on December 4, dude.
