I find it interesting like pretty much all of u say that Stubborn Gastropod is better than Druid of the Swarm's poison form cause of the taunt. I actually think its worse exactly cause of the taunt. Sure taunt can deny attack from the big minion your opponent doesnt want to trade with into it, but not having a taunt lets u play it behind your own taunt like Emperor Cobra and your opponent has to either use removal from hand, aoe or something like that, which i like way more. Most of the time u play gastropod when something u want to remove is on the board already anyways and its on your opponent to deal with it, so ur not rly gettin that much of an advantage from the taunt, beside it being an actual taunt minion for obvious reasons.

Forge of Souls (2): Pretty good card if u have at least like 2 weapons, mby at least 3. I mean even if it would give u only 1 weapon, id say u will be happy, cause chances r ur hurtin for removal. If u have plenty of weapons its nice to get them right away and thin your deck a little. Definitely better than Ice Fishing.

And u and many ppl act like at that stage of the game your opponent is pumping one 8+ cost card after the other ... like ur never using a rogue/druid hero power to trade or battle with small minions anymore right? lol :P

Rotface is certainly not that great of a card, but in an average situation, i can certainly see it triggering once ... or eating a hard removal, in which case its no different from any other big drop.

 By Turn 8 if I'm not putting out minions with at least 6 attack i'm pretty sure I'm losing the game anyway. Sure there's situations where you're instead flooding the board with 3/4 mana minions but...that's a less than ideal situation. I might give him a 4 but any higher seems mad. I mean it's worth remembering he's evaluated in the context of other Legendaries.

I took a look at the last 5 decks I've drafted to see how many minions had 6+ attack.

First - 5 
Second - 4
Third - 3 (and this was a very aggro deck)
Fourth - 4
Fifth - 4

That's not including buffing existing minions (stuff like Kings/Stegadon etc. greatly increases the cards that'd kill it in one) and doesn't include cheap hard removal like Fireball and SW:D. I'm not saying the guy can't get value, but I'm saying the chances of him getting value aren't worth it compared to having a legitimately good 8 drop in place - I'd rather have a Charged Devilsaur personally.

In general it seems like the hero cards are all tier 1 arena legendaries (except maybe mage)

Forge of Souls Rating 3(Average): The value of this card definitely goes up if you've drafted at least 3 weapons, otherwise it's hard to predict when you are gonna draw this.  Considering my last Warrior draft I got offered (no joke) 5 Arcanite Reaper and 2 Fiery War Axe, this might not be a bad deal.

 What are your arena ratings? I disagree with many of your opinions so I want to know the credibility of this thread. As far as I'm concerned this is just an aesthetically really well looking thread, but other than that it's just one avrage (in terms of HS skills) person's opinion.

Breath of Sindragosa is a super premium card.  Wins you a huge tempo advantage in the early game, costs nothing with the mage 3/2 2 drop (can't remember the card name) and freezes a minion in addition to all of that which makes it valuable still in the late game for pushing face damage with a tempo deck.  This plus Mana Wyrm will win a lot of games by crushing your opponent in the first 3 turns.  Tempo mage is back with this card since it's a common.  Better than Frostbolt IMO.

Well i would like Charged Devilsaur instead of this as well any day :p i would actually like to see u draft sometimes, looks like ur being quite greedy or mby just lucky to get the good kind of 6+ minions :) And "very aggro" deck with 3 of those that seems interesting as well :))

I don't see how 3-5 late game cards can be classified as greedy in the slightest? I mean I had a Priest deck for example with a Charged Devilsaur, a Free From Amber, 2 Temple Enforcers and a Bog Creeper. The other 25 cards in my deck were 5 mana or lower - if anything that's a pretty low curve, not a high one.

Snowfury Giant (3): I dont rly play shaman that much, but i dont believe u draft that many overload spells on average. I would see this being like 7 cost 8/8 on average if u wanted to play it on curve kinda, which is decent, but nothing that special. The more overload cards u have the better this card is obviously :) One thing is certain tho, this will be a card to watch out for (even tho its epic ... and shaman :D) and u should start counting your opponents overloaded mana, so u can see it coming and mby prepare for it.
