Hearthpwn

Probably to make up for United in Stormwind and Alterac Valley being so combo and quest focused. This card does help deal with those kinds of decks... except you can play around it with most quest decks by finishing and playing the reward on the same turn (lul priest) and combo decks like Alignment only have 1 card you need to steal and if you whiff, it does not matter. I get the idea but I don't know if it will work.  

The only thing I really want to see is diamond hero cards. Something really commanding my attention like Diamond Hagatha and her swamp oozing out of her portrait or the feral rage flying out of Zul'jin. And it would also be nice to get more class variety. Give classes other than mage a chance to have the super shiny cards. 

This guy is right. Ping mage with Wildfire, apprentice, and Dawngrasp is a ringer. I am at D2 using purely that deck since the balance changes. What you should keep in mind is how you win v/ certain decks. Against aggro, you need to push them off the board ASAP and keep them off. Go full tilt Naga combo and go as hard as possible. Against control, you need to build up as much ping power as you can. Use Wildfire with Sivara if you dont need it for something else. Get that DG heropower to Pyroblast. 

Against Druid and warlock, you need to be careful to both not be too slow or play into their wincons. For Druid, really push them ASAP, does not matter the deck. If they align or the board gets too big, you lose. Against Warlock, try to pump the hero power and when you are close to winning, keep all the cards in your hand to push for leathal. Keeping a full hand keeps you safe from their wincons.

Great question

 Am I the only one who thinks there should be another upside (besides the intel upperhand) to Maestra? Something like "neutral cards have +1/+1 while you don't reveal yourself"? I love this style of cards, like I love Renounce Darkness but find that there is no real reason to play it.

Only for the achievements

 Wouldn't this also reveal yourself though? Perhaps "Battlecry: Upgrade your hero power"? I don't think having a delayed 2/2 weapon would break anything (certainly not in this meta)

 I would have liked her to be a copy of a legendary of that class, like Lady Prestor does for dragons, but upgrading the hero power works too. This card is infinitely interesting and really utilizes hearthstone's digital nature cleverly, but it is nothing more than a cute gimmick. If it just had ANYTHING USEFUL as a battlecry or something, we might have had something.   

To answer your question, yes, it is too new to be avaible for gold yet. It might go on gold sale next year or in 6 months. Blizzard has not been super clear on the rotation. Unless you are talking about the Fire-Druid skin, in which case it is a quest reward for the Fire Festival and you can't buy that for gold.

This is once again proven by all the Prime cards. Their small version "Shuffles a X prime" into your deck but does not shuffle your whole deck at the same time. This is exactly how bombs should behave as well.

 

 This is factually incorrect as I found out using Pol and having the priest prime shuffled into my deck after. All cases of "shuffle this into your deck" literally shuffles the deck as well. The only card that does not right now is sphere of Sapience because it specifies putting the card on the bottom. 

The thing about the Gustkraken is as a one off effect, it was okay, but not great. The problem was the loops and constancy of  summoning it enough times to remove your opponents hand before starting the game. The DH cards cannot be looped, so they will never be as good as Gishki.

thebitterfig is right. To add to that, It is also worth noting that a huge part of Baku and Genn's balance issue was they always gave you the hero power buff. Zeph is not always going to be in your hand, nor will he help you if you misplayed, He does require a bit of skill checking: when to play him, guessing and setting up possibilities for the best outcome, asking if it is worth torching the one off get out of a pinch situation card now or later, should he be saved to finish the game, etc.

I think Zephs swing potential is astronomical, there is no denying, but it does not make him a terrible card, just a very powerful one, which is what you would want in a deck full of one off cards. I would go so far as to say DQ alex might need a revist to give each of her dragons 1 mana because the swings off her can basically end the game. Zeph cant do that unless you were about to lose anyway.

There are formatting issues in Wild tier 4, were Dr. Morrgian and Myra Rotspring bleed together from misplaced coding.  

For context, they nerfed 2 cards we got for free and two rares, In addition, all of the most broken stuff DH was doing did not need many (if any) legendaries you would not have already obtained. There was no bait and switch here, and no dust sinks on bad cards. Just calm down. If you have buyers remorse, that's on you. 

For my part, I have been offered a few 50 g quest, but as long as it is the only quest in my queue, it ALWAYS becomes a 60 gold one. Try keeping abreast of your quest and seeing how the offerings change. 

Even Blizzard thinks the priest Galakrond sucks and did not give it to Lazul... 

BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF A NEW SUN! 

Lyra the Sunshard

The entrance music for Varian Wrynn is also amazing.

Okay, once more for the people in the back,...Zephrys the Great cannot read, he understands keywords and numbers. That's it. He does not think a 0/3 with stealth is a threat, because he does not understand what the long term implications are. Hell, they needed a patch to work against Doomsayer. Yes, he had problems dealing with stealth, and yes, if you float 4 mana instead of 2, he prefers SI:7 Infiltrator to Flare, but it is not his fault. I agree with Alph2760, the attempt, however imperfect is admirable, and they are still adjusting it.  

I think this weapon can be bonkers, there is just the slight issue of Hunters having little sustain and Galakrond warrior threatening the meta with 3 damage a turn. It is also worth noting that this is probably a more midrange/control card, as only a few dragons come down early enough to go infinite face with Stormhammer.
