Funny that this topic comes up shortly after the debut of the Classic format. One of the more powerful archetypes in classic is old school Miracle Rogue complete with Concealed double-Cold Blooded Auctioneers on turn 6.
It was an interesting experience to take the old Miracle Rogue into a competitive environment, because you were constantly barely clinging to life against aggro waiting for one more mana so you could safely initiate the draw sequence. I never had much problem with that sort of thing, but you compare that process to the current mage situation packing 4 cards drawn for free (Spring Water), 4 cards drawn straight up (Arcane Int), and X cards drawn based on how many Studies you managed to draw first (Cram Session). You frequently find yourself in the final 6-10 cards of your deck with very little investment involved.
Que sera, though. I'm not a fan of strangling out combo types, and the way Hearthstone goes with only 1 or 2 copies of a card, a lot of draw is usually involved.
I messed up not making it standard specific. I pretty much play only Standard.
Sounds like you yearn for the "good ol' days" of HS.
How much have you played of Classic mode?
Very very little, and I should probably play more! I have been playing the game a long time and I made the mistake of dusting many HoF cards as they rotated for the free dust. Jokes on me, Blizzard brought it back and now out of salt I’ve stayed away because I have to recraft a Leeroy... childish I know... but I’m stubborn.

In any case, no, I do not long for those days. In fact I constantly argue against nerfs on the theory that every time a different way of playing the game gets snuffed out, we bring the meta back towards tempo v tempo aggro decks, and frankly, that rule has proven itself true more times than I can count.
Jesus I’ve never noticed this! That’s honesty true...
Think about what you are saying here, like really think about what it is that you are saying in this post.
There could be a card, 0-mana, that reads “Draw 5 cards” and going by your logic it would be absolutely fine. Let’s make it start in your hand too, I mean it is a card game LOL

Imagine nerfing card draw in a card game LOL
This forum continues to amaze me.
