Hey everyone! First up, I want to clarify that the following is not an upcoming feature and would probably never be. It is just a fun little idea of mine. Here we go:
Hearthstone's cost is the reason for countless complain threads. This isn't one of them. I've come to terms with the high cost of the meta decks and in a way it's a bit better than the best decks being cheap as hell- it forces people to try out substitutions to cards they don't have, from which they can get inspired and create their own decks maybe... Anyway, back to the point. What I don't understand is why meme decks have to cost so much? They do something cool once in 100 games, but their overall winrate is abysmal. They're memes after all. And still, they all cost 10K dust just like meta decks, because a lot of the good memes are legendaries.
Here's where my idea comes in. Its chances to be implemented are just as abysmal as the meme decks' winrate, but for now let's move to a hypotetical world where Blizzard implements a system to see the playrate of cards (like the one at HSReplay). This will enable them to quickly discern the good, meta legendaries from the memes by their playrate.
And now, the Meme Legendary Exchange can be set up- a system allowing a player to exchange one of his legendaries that see bellow 5% play for another legendary that sees bellow 5% play in the same class (or any class and neutral, if he's exchanging a neutral. The exchanged card can't be exchanged again). This doesn't reduce the cost of meme legendaries- they're still 1600 dust. However, it enables a player to choose his memes. Let's say I get Lorewalker Cho, a good meme for Mill Rogue. I, however, want to play Exodia Paladin and swap him for Auctionmaster Beardo. This way I don't have a legendary that's better than before for competitive, but I have the meme I wanted.
So, what do you think? Does it sound like a fun idea?
TL;DR: What if there was a system that allowed you to exchange meme legendaries and basically build meme decks easier?
However, once Blizzard introduces ANY kind of trade system, the players will want to be able to trade rares, epics, legendaries and golden cards with one another.... which will never happen...

My (custom) expansion:
Return to Outland (Black temple + Burning Legion cards)- Complete
I love the idea!

What do you mean "what if"? We'd pay less money to make meme decks and Blizzard would be salty. Not really an eye opening revelation...
Look at this thing and let me know what you think!
