Donais: There's lots of other candidates. We talked about cards like Malygos, which we talk about every year. We decided not to go with Malygos again, because of all the new decks that he creates. An important thing in card games is to have different types of decks. Not every type of deck should be medium-sized minions fighting. There needs to be small minions, big minions, and there needs to be some Malygos decks and other tricky decks that have different game plans. That's what makes card games interesting.
'There needs to be some Malygos decks.' For what reason? Doesn't there need to be Alexstraza decks, or Ysera decks? That Malygos stays is prime example of catering into the wishes of the target audience, demanding besides aggression, easy fix OTK. Card design politics circles around keeping the meta polarized.
That means Wall priest will remain viable which denotes bleak perspective for new viable archetypes in the priest department. Therefore, don't see any ' very good' priest cards cards coming in.

The question is not if this class gets this, or that class gets that, but if in light of big core set shuffle card designers are willing to diversify win conditions, slow down the game as to skill becoming a more decisive factor of winning games by curbing the mindlessness of burn, buff and chargers, which by itself is - unfortunately - the main mindless win condition off all classes.
The unwillingness of curbing aggression is the main problem. As the unwillingness to balance in such a way that all classes have viable skill-based archetypes.
I fully agree with your statement thou i think some level of sheer agression is necessary to prevent games from being exessively long.
Not argueing with that.
Balance, balance, balance….. it seems to be an art not fully learned yet…. if it ever want to be learned.

Malygos doesn't HoF. How predictable.
