Designer 1: Remember when we put Ragnaros into the Hall of Fame? Why did we do that again?
Designer 2: "Ragnaros is heavily played in both control and mid-range decks and even shows up as a finisher in certain types of aggro decks. His high immediate value and strength at the eight mana cost made the decision during deck-building, “Is this eight mana minion better than Ragnaros?” rather than, “Is this eight mana minion the best choice for my deck type?” Dozens of cards in the seven to nine mana range never saw play because Ragnaros was always the easy choice in that range, and some decks only want to run one high cost card."
Designer 1: Sorry, I stopped listening after the first 2 words you said. I think I remember he was just too weak and expensive and plus, any class could play him, not just my favorite class, the Mage! So, I fixed him. Now he only costs 7, is only playable by mage, and comes with a 4/4 sidekick for free. That should make him playable again!

I think you spelled “I’m salty because I just lost to Odd Mage” incorrectly.
I think you are looking for the salt thread for your disdain of Odd Mage.
Could be true...! Maybe they'll make a Druid-only version of Sylvanas next.
By the way, Go Sabres. With 20 games left, I'm hoping they can get a good streak going and get a wildcard spot at least...
