They also said that they would release all the cards before the release of the game. Seems unlikely that they will spoil all the cards tomorrow or Monday then drop the game on tuesday

I dump on them pretty frequently because of how popular the deck is and how simple the play style is. I also do not like the fact that people can just play this deck so poorly and get to decent ranks with the deck. Seeing people get to ranks 5-10 and still making horrible mistakes is disgusting

People seem to wrongly think that if you don't like a specific deck or play style that its just because you lose to it alot. This season I'm 16-4 against hunter (80% win rate). 8 of my last 9 games have been against hunter and I hate the homogeneity that hunter has on the ladder right now

If the rappers are to be believed,  more horehowls = more problems

I agree 110% the meta just settled way too quickly after nax. We've been running the same meta for the most part since 2-3 weeks after nax was released. 4-5 decks make up 75% of the games you play in ranked and even casual has turned into a homogenized mess. Most my casual games are against miracle rogue, hand lock, control warrior and zoo. 

I typically do 300-400 ranked games a season but last season did just over 100 and won't even reach the 100 mark this season. I'm looking forward to gvg and hope we see a much longer time for the meta to settle

The best new combo, some will call it visionary, some will call it insanity...

Mind control is a high risk, high reward card. You need a number of factors to line up for it to be game changing. The most obvious factor is that the game has to reach turn 10. After turn 10 you need to have a game state where you can spend the whole turn casting it (IE not need to heal yourself that turn). The opponnent also needs to put down a large minion.

The main risk of Mind Control is drawing it early game against aggro or tempo decks. Drawing something like Mind Control, Mind Control, Shadow word death in your opening hand is just game over verses a tempo, aggro or mid ranged deck

My guess is we will see a big reveal the week of the second and see the expansion hit on the 9th. That will give them plenty of time to fix bugs and sell boosters before Christmas

Imo they haven't revealed enough sources of spare parts yet to make attempting a spare parts deck worth it

I think its an homage to Blizzcon where all the players had to use the classic cardback. I only noticed people using it after Blizzcon
