Interested to see what you guys thought about it and the legendaries, and if you're buying it or just gonna open packs for the commons and rares.
For all but the last mini set I bought them with gold, but the last one felt so underwhelming with the legendaries I decided to just save packs from ranked rewards and haven't yet regretted not getting those legendaries (I did open neptulon which was nice).
This time round I think I'll buy it, all legendaries actually seem somewhat playable, the jailer looks like it could possibly get nerfed. Sylvanas might see play after the rotation when options become limited or could push more swarm decks in the meta just by being a solid mid-game pay off for them. DH is nothing special, if a tempo demon deck exists in the future then that'll be an auto include and lastly, I think Hunter's legendary is actually good and playable. Anything on Cairne strength or better is decent for it.
Nothing screams exciting or revolutionary but all seems playable and worthy of 2000 gold
Mage definitely feels like it got the best set for sure but at least secret mage hasn't been in the meta for a while. I think the priest buff spell is gonna be the most annoying and frustrating card to play against in this set though
F2P here. 2 legendaries are actually good and 2 others are actually mediocre. The Jailor will probably get nerfed at some point, as we have seen the Immune mechanic being really problematic sometimes. As well as the Druid card. So I'll spend 2000 gold there play the cards and if they get nerfed to oblivion I'll use the dust to make other cards.
Even if the cards look mediocre at first, it's almost always worth buying the mini set - you only need one of the legendaries to be playable for it to be worth it, and meanwhile you've insured yourself against opening the bad legendaries in the set.
However, in terms of gameplay, I'm not seeing a lot to get excited about other than the mage cards. The two 'good' legendaries look like they're trying to keep you playing an actual game of hearthstone rather than annihilate the opponent's board or win on the spot, which is what top end stuff needs to do. So many of the mini set commons/rares are total filler.
It kind of doesn't matter if the cards are good. If you were to disenchant the entire mini set, the dust value would be worth more than the gold you paid. If you have 2000 gold, it's foolish not to buy it.
Of course, like I always say, dusting Standard cards is short-sighted. Even if you don't like them, you should hold on to them at least until they rotate out. You never know when something will get buffed or become better through new synergies in a later set.

The Hunter Legendary is going to make Beast Hunter even better, so this card alone will make it worth it for me.
If you copy the Death rattle from ratking, you essentially get 3 copies of Ratking. the Legendary itself becomes a Ratking, you get 1 x dormant and a copy of the card to hand. Based off how strong it is to have 2 copies of ratking (making another copy with selective breeder) I think this card is going to be very strong.
This also is only taking one death rattle into account, the deck also runs Bear and Sabre which also will be great targets.
I'm also going to be running the Warrior card that draws the weapon, this is going to make Enrage Warrior way more consistent.
A lot more cards in the set that look good though. the Priest stuff looks very strong, the Dh legendary as well.
Even if all the cards were hot trash it would be the best way of spending 2000 gold so if you have the gold it is pretty dumb not to buy it. You're getting 4 Legendarys for the gold cost of 1 Legendary if you bought packs. It's a complete no brainer.

I feel the same way with jailer, even if it takes a few months or years, there will come a point that its effect will create a busted play considering how unique it is, they're always nerf contenders. What's the druid card? I guess you refer to the draw card but I actually think the minion is gonna see endless play especially if buff priest becomes a player in the meta or any of the many classes recieving deathrattle support (I feel like that's setting up for a deathrattle themed expansion ngl)

I think out of all mini sets the only card that was exciting (depending how you see things) was Kazakusan. Also I think the 3rd mini set of the year is always the juicy one, expanding on all archetypes throughout the year, bringing back all keywords and doing something a bit unique with them at least with one card. The other 2 mini sets seem a lot more filler with fillers but do see play at some point.
sylvanas is the only standout, which seems like the theme with every mini-set, one really solid legendary and the rest will fit in eventually.
Glad I ain't the only one that thinks there's more to sylvanas than the general consensus, I also think the neutral infuser could be good too, you get 5 infuses from it and it pretty much infuses every card outside a handful of legendaries, no more bad topdecking.

I've not been short of dust for a few years now but I don't think it's too worth it, 2000 gold would be 100 cards in an expansion, handful of goldens, a legendary and half a dozen epics I think are just as good, maybe better than buying to dust (but I could definitely be wrong about that)
But I do agree with not dusting standard cards, it's how I've kept so much dust: nerfs! And when it comes to wild I tend to keep any mana cheating card even if it never saw play, SN1PSN4P taught me that with the priest epic way back in the day.
10/1 with thief quest priest so far in legend. The new 4mana taunt is insane, definitely the 4 drop the deck wanted.
Secret mage is insane especially on a hiroll. With coin it can t3 2 6/6 with 2 secrets for you to get through. Def meta changer there. At least the devs added tech but I'm not sure it's enough.

I've only tried playing a hunter deck so far, but got bored and went back to big spell druid (no new cards in it though)
think I will try some enrage warrior with the new weapon draw and see how that is. already enjoyed the deck, just not sure what to remove.
Do you know how long it usually takes them to update HS replay? it's not even saving my games I play with new cards in the deck, it's a total hinderance as I re-watch all my games to learn more.

The epic is pretty crap tho.
Thoughts ? Dean Ayala comes to mind first seeing that Mage got (by far) the most broken stuff in this Miniset.
I guess we're just gonna get to deal with his last toys... :-/
Mage definitely feels like it got the best set for sure but at least secret mage hasn't been in the meta for a while. I think the priest buff spell is gonna be the most annoying and frustrating card to play against in this set though
Jailer kinda boring effect and huge mistake not giving him his badass armor, instead we got his naked slave form.
Otherwise some interesting flavours and some meh cards.
If you have 2000 gold its worth it
Probably wont be the most impactful mini set, maybe thats a good thing though,

I am definitely going to play a Dragon-Thief-Priest! I am sure it’s gonna be playable!
Trash set, bet i'll get it anyway, economy is so bad it's still worth it to remove that many trash cards from the pool for 2000 gold.
sylvanas is the only standout, which seems like the theme with every mini-set, one really solid legendary and the rest will fit in eventually.
I like it. Gonna shuffel some overloads, and add it to XL Shaman.
