So far this expansion is fun for me but the balance is an issue, I played some even pally and laughed how easy it was to win games and climb then switched back to taunt druid to have some fun again. odd/even is a terrible concept that should have never been added. What are your thoughts? 

I like the odd/even concept they introduced in this expansion. It will get increasingly more interesting with every other expansions released for the next 2 years and that's not a small amount of cards :). 

Too bad you still see the same old cubelock/murloc pala/spiteful shenaningans most of the time on the ladder, but hey - it's just the first expansion in this year, you can't expect a groundbreaking stuff already (although, noone has expected Shudderwock either, but that's a topic for another discussion).

Honestly, I've enjoyed the odd/even decks so far; however, I feel that many people have yet to fully take advantage of the archetype. All in all, I've enjoyed Witchwood.

There was a new expansion? I think I heard that a bunch of new legendaries were made, but it might just be a rumor because I don't see anything new out there.

Terrible expansion. You can easily just craft Baku and skip the whole expansion.

Whole experience is very underwhelming. Witchwood is the weakest and the worst expansion by far. Power level of WW cards are too low it is almost like an insult to the players. 90% of legendaries are useless, they can only be used in gimmicky decks.

Boring as hell. I’ll stick to Monster Hunt and Wild ‘til the next expansion. 

It was GREAT!  For about 3 or 4 days.  Then the meta settled and has been zzzzzzzzz ever since.

Great for 24 hours, already waiting for the next card reveals to begin.

Somewhere between fun and boring. Varies by the day, I'm rank ~15...if I start the day queuing up against several netdecks in a row I'm quick to log off.

This again. Sigh.

Witchwood as an expansion is okay.

The issue is that in DBZ terms: its a Namekian in a world of Super Sayians. 

No matter how much you like Piccolo/Witchwood and think he/it should be the power level base, he/it will always be a side character/expansion. You can't print 8 powerful expansions then print a meh 9th with high expectations.

Taunt druid to have some fun? LUL taunt druid is basically cubelock but instead of the heals it has armor -.-

WAAAAAAAAAAAA witchwood is so weak WAAAAAAAAAAH yeah but if it was strong then it would be WAAAAAAAAAH witchwood is too strong... The truth is salty cunts are always gonna cry and bitch about blizzard. I think it's good that witchwood is kinda weak because players that already had most of the old cards don't need to collect too much dust to craft the new ones, since not many are used

The meta on the 5-20 range is tremendously diverse.  Normally at this point I’m facing the same 2-3 top tier decks for 80% of my games.  Currently I’m still seeing new decks and a huge variety in classes.  This morning my first 3 opponents were quest priest, rush warrior, odd Druid.  I was playing even shaman.  

Its a fun time to see lots of playable decks.  No overpowered cards that are ruining balance or pidgeonholing deck creation.  Single player mode is super fun.  Great expansion.

It is between meh and okay.
But it is the first expansion of the year.
It would not be logical to introduce the best expansion of the year as the first one.

Let's wait.

Far from the worst meta we have but a massive nerf in warlock and paladin will be awesome.

My thoughts on the expansion are that it's impossible to evaluate the expansion on its own merits because there's too much broken stuff left over from the Year of the Mammoth.

I get that they keep making the last expansion of the year really strong because they want it to have enough impact that people will want to buy the cards, and also they feel it will do the least damage because the last expansion has the shortest lifespan.

But this logic is extremely flawed.

The way they have it set up, there will always be an OP "last expansion of the year" in the Standard set. There will never be a Standard environment that is not plagued by crazy balance problems. For the last four months of the Hearthstone year, we will always have a meta with two OP expansions in the mix (which might actually be the most balanced it gets), then we drop back to one OP expansion with the rotation.

Moreover, the first expansion of each year will always be overshadowed by the flaws of the one that came immediately before it, causing people to be much less excited about the new cards, and probably causing a big dip in sales because the new set is literally, by and large, far less necessary to competitive play.

Until this year, I had gotten into the habit of spending a decent chunk of change on each expansion because I knew I'd want most of the cards. This time I spent much, much less than normal because I knew I wouldn't need nearly as many of the new cards. And I was right. My Witchwood set is far from complete, and I really don't care. The cards I'm missing would be meaningless in this spiteful-recruit meta, and I'm very glad I didn't bother.
