I’m very conflicted about it. I’ve enjoyed playing with spell mage and secret rogue as much as any deck. The additions to both sets are just super fun to mess around with. Bamboozle can be hilariously fun; and Shadowjeweler Hanar is the type of card that when played right can turn a game completely around.
But the constant barrage of DH and their seemingly endless value cards is just getting very stale. I tried playing as DH (Not in ladder admittedly) and it was essentially a mindless, uninteresting play style with no real nuance to strategy. Blizz really needs to reevaluate some of these cards. And forget the absolute slog that is playing against a Rez priest... At this point in casual if I’m matched against a priest I just insta-concede; it’s just incredibly boring playing against them.
I've said it before and now it's worse than ever. The swing turns in this game are too big and too frequant. I'm not saying they shouldn't happen but you should have to work hard for them.

I wouldn't say this expansion is just trash. There are a lot of good things. Regretfully so many of the DH cards are so incredibly overpowered, it is difficult to see the rest of the expansion as everybody is focused either on playing DH either on countering it. I'm not sure the second nerf will be enough to stop it. It will most probably just change to other decks than the aggro/tempo most played right now... I'm in fact surprised when looking at their cards that their domination over the meta isn't stronger than it presently is. The best/worst DH decks are probably still to come...
...and Rez Priest, so boring to play against (you're not the only one to auto concede in casual), just adds to this bad feeling many of us have right now...

Rez Priest is based on mana cheating and that never feels good to play against. When I see Psychopomp into Khartut Defender into Grave Rune I'm just dying inside...

You’re not using the term mana cheating right. You’re confusing it with value, and Rez priest has a ton of that. Also, the scenario you mentioned is the worst case for Psychopomp. You don’t want to resurrect cards with him that already have reborn, you want cards like Convincing Infiltrator that have a powerful deathrattle but don’t already have reborn.
This. Devs are pushing these cards that can instantly win/lose you the game. I cant count how many times i have played 30 min games just to lose to insanely OP cards with just minor setups. Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, Warlock Gala, Zephrys the Great to name a few.

It is form of mana cheating, because you simply pay less mana for more value (below it's true cost). Defender is worth 6 mana, you pay 4 mana to get 2 additional copies of those, so for 4 mana you have stuff worth 12 mana, which means you cheated out 8 mana.
Also Khartut Defender is better target in some matchups. Gala Lock doesn't play that much stuff on board (mostly cheap trash) so Convincing Infiltrator is not that usefull against him. IMO in this matchup It's way better to have sticky minions on board and keep your HP high. Once I've played a game, where my Priest enemy was 8 HP and then he healed back up to 30, because of defenders...
Its a ton a fun this meta:
DH nerfed once, no twice, can I get third?
Murloc pally, wow I'm dead on turn four
Spell Druid - token on steroid with a Mountseller gimmick
Rez priest, still here need I say more
Gala Warlock - highrollin his Galakrond to the win
Shammy in the shadows hopin his Evolves roll him to the win
Mage - casino is open
Warrior MIA
How feel u?
Secret rogue here.
By far the worst in 4 years AINEC. Just pure garbage on so many levels.
Super fun 😊 meta.
A good expansion?
When is it coming? This one sucks big time
I'm not online, it's just your imagination

There’s even another third set of nerfs being released. Should fix all these issues for you, check them out here!
Playing meme decks/characters does not entitle you to call a meta bad.
Dh was overnerfed.
That's good one :D.
hahahahaha

ALL classes have valid decks . Some of them have 2-3 .
Expansion is one of the best we ever had. Nerfs are made were needed fast.
I really enjoy this one
One of the worst expansion you get too much value out of so little I don't like that sentiment.
