Weird since it's literally in front of you when the game starts now.

So after the patch instead of seeing less amount of druids i can see all of the unskilled druid players fooling around and trying other alternative to their nerfed cards. i still think that in general druid is too OP And too easy to play. i think that those who play druid having some kind of personality issues. 

One thing that won't change no matter how many expansions come and go is the F*ING SYSTEM.

Always facing the counters, after the system determines that you're on a winstreak.

Combo rogue will do absolutely fine against control/cthun/midrange decks. I think we might even do better than before becouse now that shredder and belcher is removed we can answer almost every threat played from turns 4-6 with a clean prep shadow strike or prep sap. Thats usally enough to win a game by itself. If u didnt mulligan for preps then now its even more important.

Freezemage and agro decks will be problem, so lets look at those matchups.

Freezemage: Back in the days when miracle was the thing people played freezemage. It was advantageous for freezemage, maybe something like 65-35 to 60-40(Im talking about times after they nerfed pyro and cone of cold+blizzard). I would think we get almost as good results nowadays, maybe a bit worse since at that time we had acces to burst earlier. Freezemages will also be a bit slower since they have to manually cast iceblock/barrier and also those secrets wont occur as often as before, so you don't have to go through them every game. Bladeflurry nerf wont matter against this matchup at all. There is also possible tech choices and deck construction ideas if you want to do better against them. Ask me about those if you are interested.

Agro decks: I will talk about decks which I think will be most played agro decks.

Face shaman: I think this deck will be really popular in ladder after the meta stabilizes. So what differences are in current face shaman and WoG face shaman. They lose cracle and leper gnome. This means they have only 2 1drops(if you dont count abusives), so their starts are a lot less explosive, which is a good thing for us. Also their reach from hand is not as ridiculous. They gain the 7/7 4-drop (trust me this card is so strong it will be in almost every shaman deck) and they gain the 3-2 remove overload guy. While the 7/7 is ridiculously strong it locks their turn 5 doomhammer and the best part is, if you sap the guy we will lock them from playing the guy again on top of doomhammer. The 3-2 guy is food for rogue, no more about that :D So all in all face shaman will be slower which is a good thing for us. Negatives are that we lose Belcher, Healbot(this isnt usually included in the best rogue lists anyway) and bladeflurry(which was pretty good against them). We might have to tech in Harrison and senjin. 

Zoo lock(without deathrattlers they will be more agressive): The zoolock will be almost the same as it was in miracle's time. It was favored matchup for rogue and most lists included only one flurry and one fok. We dont have as much early burst as then but never was the case that we won becouse of that. We got the boardcontrol and never let their minions stick. I think this is good matchup for us. Also knife juggler nerfed and leper gnome nerfed so the most agressive lists arent as strong.

Agro paladin: They lose leper gnome, spider, arcane golem, muster for battle, shielded minibot and coghammer. Also juggler is weaker and not as synergestic(muster). They gain two different agro archetypes (and 1 mana 1-2 buff card). The murloc one and divine shield one(maybe murloc + divine shield). Low cost divine shield minions are 1 hp minions which are easy to handle as a rogue. Low cost murlocs are also 1 or 2 hp which are easy to remove with hero power and/or fok. I dont think they will be a problem now that the most op minions rotate out or are nerfed.

1. You should try new Deatrattle hunter! (only 9.99 if you craft now)
2. Mad scientist gone do no mean secret is unplayable. I bet a lot of Freeze mages still be aroung with secrets for 3 mana, playing them from hand. What a problem to play a 2 mana secret?
3. There a lot of secretless hunter builds

  But you cannot compare freeze mage secrets to those of the hunter, mad scientist just helped freeze mage getting those secrets while in Hunter drawing secrets usually is a bad thing
sure, face hunter can probably be  without secrets but it's gone too

The first one that I'll try with the expansion.

One of the decks.

Having an old board corrupted is nice and within the concept but I'd also like to have another board that takes us to the Old God's realm.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. What saddens me though is that you can see it in the reviews by "pros". People dont even experiment anymore, which ends up them losing one of the aspects of this game. One of the great things in standard is that it will bring back (I hope) "the benefit of the doubt". People will have to think before they include a card in the deck, instead of refine current OP decks with auto-includes. Ofc this will not happen in wild but I hope they could at least decrease the power level of the three usual suspects (Mad Scientist, Piloted Shredder and Dr. Boom). Now, we do have other cards that are strong for their mana cost (class and neutrals) but if they want to do it, it's better to take it slowly. Even if new OP cards rise from WoG, I doubt that they will fit in every deck, like with the current ones. As for the people getting spoiled by this, I don't care so much tbh. These people are just netdeckers that still have to explore the amazing concept of experimenting and building your own deck. Then, they will truly understand what it is to play a card game.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could set card backs to random, so we get a different one every game.

Or even better: Once you reach 30 cardbacks you get the option to give each card in your deck a different random card back? That way I'd be much more encouraged to get more card backs (like the Heroic adventure ones). 

It's cool to get new card backs now I guess, but once you have 1 that you like it doesn't really matter any more. I'm just using the first one I got (that green one, Black Temple I think it's called) myself to show when I started playing.

Oooh boy, an announcement for an announcement! What a treat to start off the weekend :D

It's actually kinda sad that the people at Blizzard are so bad at communication that pretty much nobody ever goes to the actual Hearthstone / Blizzard website, but everyone instead always has to check a 3d party website for news

But indeed, Hearthpwn guys you're doing a pretty good job at compensating for Blizzard :D

dude are you even being serious right now...? It's just a way worse version of the Rogue hero power... 1 extra attack doesn't make up for 3 extra mana...

I fully agree with this. And from my experience, Handlock was one of the first (and in the very early days of HS pretty much the only) decks that took a lot of skill and calculation to play properly.

And it was fun to watch in tournaments, rather than looking at everyone play face Shaman right now. 

Oh, man. I had a pretty hearth-pumping game last night. I can be so fucking dumb sometimes...

So I was playing against Hunter with Warlock at rank 5. We both had something like 10 hp left. I had Mal'Ganis on empty board. He played Savannah Highmane. I had Power Overwhelming and Defender of Argus in hand. I guess I was focusing on music or something didn't think too much. Thought to myself that's certainly lethal and continued to buff my Mal'Ganis and attack. Then sudden realization it was one of lethal, but not with Defender of Argus which I didn't play. I was hitting my head to the table pretty hard. I was certain that I was dead the next turn.

I held back tears and continued to tap. Got Knife Juggler out of my deck. I still had a chance. It all came down to 50/50 me losing or winning. Took a brief moment to pray for RNGesus to give me power to win. Then few clicks and BOOM. Knife Juggler hits to the face and I was declared a winner. Tears where rolling on my cheeks  and my hearth was beating like freaking alarm clock. What a game. Sometimes dumb and sometimes lucky. 

Flavor text:

"Faceless Overlord has the most friends on social media of all the Hearthstone minions"

Explanation:

Ok it is a 5 mana 6/6 and can't  actually do anything. However there are so many synergy possibilities as it basically is all minion race types in one card. So it will fit in almost any deck. It can be buffed by any race affected card.

For instance if there are a Mechwarper and a Ship's Cannon on the board; Faceless Overlord will cost 1 less and the Ship's Cannon will deal 2 damage as well when you play it. 

Other card with synergy: Tundra Rhino, Murloc Tidecaller, Mal'Ganis, Blackwing Technician and many more. I think you guys get the idea.

(edit= I added some capitals in the card text).

Changed it!

Ok also made it a Beast because of the rule: "if it is a Warlock card it can't be a Demon".
