The only players who are sort of hit that I can think of, (losers would be too strong a word) are those who only want to reach for rank 15 for the golden rare. They currently get tossed back to rank 20 and need 15 stars to climb back. In the new system they will need 20 stars.
I voted netdecks, not because I am against netdecking in general, but because there is no way to avoid them. Even at low ranks and in casual you three out of four opponents seem to use them. Often to disastrous effect, but still.... I would really like to see an 'fun-mode' and unlike Ben Brode, I do believe that something like that is possible. If such a mode has no rewards, then there is much less incentive to bring your tempo rogue there. And if someone enters with a netdeck anyway (let's say at least 23 cards of the existing netdecks) then they should get matched up against another netdeck. It would probably be much more fun than any of the current options
Nothing, I open about 50 packs bought with gold each expansion... And every time after opening them I am so happy that I didn't spend 50 actual Euros on that.
I am having loads of fun with it. Of course not T1, but not hopeless either. You have to find a delicate balance. Try not to go overboard on big guys, because you will need to cast Barnabas after completing the quest without dying. And make sure to add some draw: Nourish, Ultimate Infestation or even Lotus Agents, because it's no fun to complete the quest and then have no big guys to dump for free either.
Also slightly disappointed overall. There are some cards that I want and some interesting cards that I want to keep an eye on, to see how they pan out. But generally I won't go over the top on this one. For starters I've decided to buy 25-30 packs. Enough to get a good bunch of commons and rares, guaranteed one legendary from the first 10 packs, another from the prologue and perhaps a third one just from packs - if not, I may continue till I hit the pity timer for the 3rd, but that will probably be all.
Not even sure that it is good in Arena...looks pretty poor without a 1 drop, or if your 2 drop gets killed, No room for value trades when you are behind
Kidding about Defile, though I think even that is a bit overrated. But unless some mechanism is introduced to view the top card of your opponent's library, the Gnomish Vampire is utter trash.
F2P here, except for buying Naxx : 53 normal ones, including such gems as Millhouse Manastorm, Tinkermaster Overspark, Mayor Noggenflogger, Maexenna and Majordomo. Plus 1 golden Alexstrasza who I just can't dust even though I have a normal one too.... the only golden legendary that I ever opened.
I know that I am a majority, but I did not dust my Fight Promoter. I added it to my Druid Quest deck, queued up in casual and played an awesome game against quest priest with it (as well as 3 less awesome games against a pirate warrior and 2 secret mages truth be told). But in that priest game alone I had more fun than in all my other games of the past week combined. So thanks Blizzard!
I have a lot of fun with Evolve Shaman. Even without Evolve shenanigans it's quite an enjoyable and dynamic deck and at just over 4000 dust even cheap by current standards. It also has quite a decent winrate. MetaStats.net currently lists this version as the 9th successful individual deck of the last 4 days and one of the Chinese players even brought it to the finals of the CH vs EU showdown.
Normal midrange Jade shaman is probably a tad stronger but the difference is really small and I think that the Evolve version is lots more fun.
Not quite my thing, but if you want Druid then the aggro variant is strong.It is an aggro deck so there is a good amount of face-dragging involved, but it's not an all-face deck either.

If you make a COPY of the cube though (Mirage Caller for example) then the 1/1 copy will actually spawn 2 of the cubed minions too.

Amazing how exited people get over a River Crocoliskand an Arcane Explosion

Not mine, but many of the young ones over here may have missed out on this e-sports gem (also Turn3, but a major tournament): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPeS2aKb_HI
