I suppose it does ruin some of the surprise factor. However, I'll probably be watching for two reasons: 1) To get at least somewhat of an idea of what the better customization choices will be, so I can complete the content and then worry about trying other, more fun but perhaps less effective, choices; and 2) They might only have access to the first and second wings anyways, so while the surprise is somewhat spoiled, it's not completely gone.
I think it's less harmful than pros being able to play a new expansion a few days early, because as limited as their playtime might be in comparison to the expansion's life, their influence shapes the meta disproportionately. We don't need metas settling any faster than they do.
I played against that Beast Spell Hunter recently and had no idea what it was. Timber Wolf and Houndmaster in 2019?! I think I'll try Mech Zoo, since the more popular Zoo build doesn't have as much synergy, and synergies are fun for me.
Wow, guys. Thanks for letting me know about Hearthstation! I know the admins work hard on Hearthpwn, but it feels outdated and sluggish and I'm sure they have little control over it (because otherwise, they'd change it). I'll keep checking both sites, but I know which one I'll enjoy using more.

Surprising, but I hope Hearthstation will be back sooner rather than later so we can have a Hearthpwn replacement.

Yeah. Highmountain kobolds sometimes yell "Rakanishu!" in combat, as a reference to the Diablo character, so Hearthstone got it from them.

Agreed. It's time for Illidan "I AM MY SCARS" Naarusmasher in Hearthstone.

The future looks just a bit brighter if Team 5 continues responding with balance changes as quickly as they have this time.

And when DKs and Quests rotate out, well, we might finally be in a healthy (read: non-polarizing) meta again. Wee!

When you put it that way, if they really want it to be balanced, they should nerf the cost by 1 mana.
