I really hate the design of Hagatha and Witch's Apprentice, just as I wholeheartedly loathe Babbling Book and Swashburglar and all these other high variance diceroll cards, where you get 1 out of 20+ possible outcomes, and if it's the right one, you win on the spot.
Truth be told, Shaman spells are generally worse than Mage or even Priest spells, and some of the better ones are just about to rotate out, but this is the laziest design they could have come up with. It's just random. There is nothing in terms of "class identity" when it's exactly the same mechanic with a different card pool. It might be fun to play with, but it's not fun at all to play against, best example was the legendary World Championship won by Paveling Book.
The other cards are... ok. I am a bit concerned about Rebuke helping all sorts of Aggro Paladin a bit too much, but it's a nice variation of Loatheb.

So, they could make a brawl for Dungeon Run bosses too? Oh boy, I can't wait to play as A.F.Kay then Kappa

I played this brawl many times to get the quests done, and I was really unsatisfied with it, but I thought "Meh, it must be me". Then I came to this article and read lots of other negative comments. So, I realized apparently I'm not the only one unsatisfied with the state of the game and the overall laziness of the development team. And that's kinda sad, because I like Hearthstone, but I see that a lot of people just like me feel disappointed.

"Changing the card already admits you made a mistake with the original design of the card, now players need to be reimbursed for that".
AMEN

I'm not sure about their actual viability, but I love the Hog Squad in this

How cool is that art? Bloodborne cool.

Nice epic 5 mana 5/4, Blizzard... I'm already prepared to get salty when I'll open up one of these instead of a useful epic.
At least the Wasp seems interesting.

What a disappointment. I thought we could play with special Starcraft cards in Hearthstone, but *surprise* it's another RNG brawl with random crappy cards...

Successfull maybe. But the weapon is too crappy even for its own archetype, since Barnes + Y'shaarj is better.

Crippling Poison is such a good idea, it's my favourite as well
