Hearthpwn

Nice deck! Kel'Thuzad + Emperor Cobra killed everything the Sentinel played for me.

Looking forward to the grand finals of the Hearthstone Championship, whoever they might be!

The biggest problem I see with the longevity of hearthstone is that blizzard seems reluctant to add new mechanics into the game. Naxx didn't add anything new and they already stated that the next card expansion wont introduce new mechanics either. Without new interactions between the card pool, the game will become stale very quickly for a lot of players.

I do not think that is a fair assessment. Hearthstone has been barely out for 6-7 months, and has had exactly 1 mini-adventure so far, which is explicitly explained that it is not an expansion.

When there is room for design space to further explore existing mechanics, it should be done before adding new mechanics. Looking at Magic and its 120 keywords (I don't know exactly how many, but its over 100), any new players will be moderately intimidated, I don't think I would ever want to see Hearthstone go down that path. If Magic launched with some 20 keywords initially, that is 5 new keywords introduced every year over these 20 years. New keywords get players excited and go out and buy the expansion, so part of it has to do with marketing as well, but what turns me off is the release of new cards every 3 months, it is simply too fast for casual players who might only play the game once a week (you need to allocate a significant amount of time for a gaming night with friends).

Well, if a Gladiator's Longbow attacks into a Paladin with the Eye for an Eye secret, the Hunter will proc the secret and receive 0 damage.

That right there is inconsistency with Explosive Trap.

Lightspawn has 0/5 Stats.

It's effect says that the attack are the same as the health... so if you change the 0/5 to 5/0 the first the HP are at 0, so it dies, second, the lightspawn would have 0/0 stats, if it would not die ... tell me if i am wrong :)

You're wrong. :)
The Crazed Alchemist uses the current stats, not base stats, so you would just swap a 5/5 into a 5/5.
