Unfortunately, what Hearthstone needs to bring players back are some major changes to the game, which I don't see Bli$$ard enacting since it will effect the bottom line. But in the spirit of the moment, here are some:
1. A revamped UI period, its old and needs a shot of 2019.
2. A revamped RNG match making system (which is not the "Bad match-up" formula you force down players throats).
3. True solo playing mode (not the the dungeon crap) which allows you to play the current cards and decks in a PVE setting (solo ladder play against an NPC for the more casual players).
4. Player created private leagues, with players controlling the league types.
5. And finally if the changes cannot be made due to coding issues, Hearthstone II - A truly new expansion. Out with the old, in with the new.
Fun deck, 50-50 against hunters. Can get a bit hectic with the mass number of spells the cauldron can generate. Still evaluating whether too keep both Doomgaurds or not, my thought was maybe a Zilliax for a bit of heals and a little synergy with Mecharoo.
What a scam, huh? You pay hundreds of dollars a year for a free to play card game in which Blizzard controls the win rate, draws and match-ups with pre-determined calculations. Not even in Vegas do the casinos fuck you over this bad.
The First Amendment of the US Constitution protects you in-that the government is not allowed to put forth a law infringing on your ability to speak up. It doesn't protect you from consequences when you saying something stupid or hurtful in a public setting, or on a privately-owned and operated website.
You are free to say what you want...you are not free to say what you want with zero repercussions in all situations.
What exactly are the consequences of stupid or hurtful speech?
Well it obviously depends on the situation. Megyn Kelly put her foot in her mouth, said something racist and it cost her her TV show; doing it here will lead to a report, causing me or another mod to instill a warning that may end with a ban. It could go even further, as well: yelling "Fire!" in a theater under false pretenses could get you arrested.
If the intention behind your question is closer to "who am I really hurting when I say things that are presumably 'hurtful'?", then I don't know how to respond without relying on a sarcastic, passive-aggressive quip regarding your lack of empathy or common decency toward others. I would have figured the answer to be self-evident, but perhaps I am wrong in this case.
...Or maybe I'm over-analyzing the inflection in your sentence, to which I apologize and you can disregard the second paragraph.
My point is that there are no legal consequences to stupid or hurtful speech. In fact is exactly what freedom of speech protects. If no one was offended then there would be no reason to protect free speech.
It depends on the situation and context, not all speech is protected and there are definitely consequences to stupid or hurtful speech, ask Rosanne Barr. You can't work at a McDonald's drive-thru window and ask the customer " Hey asshole, what the fuck you want?" You will get fired. There are also civil penalties a jury can impose on you for certain types of speech deemed liable.
Use to be a time where you could hang between rank 20 to 10 and somewhat enjoy a few wins and complete your quests, that's long gone. The game is polluted with a few overpowered decks that need to face each other and if you don't run one, your shit out of luck. You get a ton of cards that aren't worth dog shit, what a scam.
If anything Ben was Hearthstone's greatest cheerleader, I genuinely believed he loved the game. Change can be good for this type of genre, all we can do is hope for the best.

Isn't it time for Ben Brode to rotate out of Hearthstone and go fuck up some other Blizzard game?

A nice, honest, fair and no hate critique of a deck very rarely seen on this site, well done. Up votes for the both of yah.

Nice Deck! Pulled Harrison added Malygos, really helps spells in late game.
