I am going to give it a an A-. I'm really enjoying the vast number of decks I want to put together. A few of them are terrible, a few are powerful, all are fun and interesting to try and perfect. A friend was playing on Friday when I took the day off to do house chores. I asked if it was okay if I watched while I wrapped Christmas presents. He paraded out 8 different decks he had brewed, all from the new expansion and played them one after another for me. That's pretty amazing. (Thanks Jer.) Really good set. The bad - I have been really lucky this set and have had a great percentage of Legendaries in my pack opening. I don't know why any company from WOTC to Blizzard to anyone else thinks it is okay to make the rarest cards in the game completely useless. Do not make Legendaries that are complete garbage. There is no upside to this practice. Half of the Legendaries I have pulled from this set will never see play. Ever. Still a great set.
It is a great set indeed and I agree. But i cannot follow the logic of the rarest card=useless. It feels bad when you find them sure, but wouldn't it be worse that all the good and necessary cards are also the most expensive?
speaking of sets in general.. is it just me or are lower cost minions getting stronger while high cost minions get weaker? I can't be the only one slightly annoyed to get cards that seem like they would be fun like Big Bad Voodoo .... but then they end up pulling Lynessa Sunsorrow or Hir'eek, the Bat, Giggling Inventor, etc ... Just feels like each expansion gears the players more and more towards aggro
Edit: Not discounting that they are strong in the right setting, and that RNG is a major player in HS - but it seems like in the very early expansions the bigger the cost, the bigger the minion in a lot of cases... and now pulling a random high cost minion it simply feels like your 7 or 8 drop is too likely to be countered by a 3 or 4 drop
I'm not a huge fan of this set though I'm a big fan of Hearthstone in general so I'm ok with it. Not many new archetypes introduced. A number of modifications to existing decks that we've seen in the past. We'll see how it goes though, hopefully we'll see something more interesting than Kingsbane Rogue with Raiding Party or Spell Hunter with Zul'jin. OP I'm not sure if you realize or not but making all lengendaries good would be asking for a pay to win game.
I stopped deeming legendaries as 'worthless' when Hadronox turned from 'the worst legendary in the set' to utterly insane half way through its lifetime. I stopped assuming I knew ANYTHING about 'good' cards when Cloning Gallery became a viable priest deck. #()$#) I still remember the days when Inner Fire priest was considered a 'newbie trap' used to teach new players how NOT to make a deck.
I wouldn't dust Hir'eek, the Bat. I don't have a clue in hades how you could use it. But I make no assumptions anymore.

Some players like winning with bad cards and sometimes bad cards are fun. If every card is super strong, then no card is super strong.
