I honestly wish that every time a card is revealed in some expansion, they would tell us their thought process.
I genuinely am curious as to how they thought this Mini-Set would be fine. Like why would you make evolves even more consistent now? They already have efficient mass evolves through Convincing Disguise or Primordial Wave. Who honestly thought that printing Blazing Transmutation and Thaddius, Monstrosity at the same time would be an awesome idea? Especially since Shamans can cheat out a Goldshire Gnoll as early as Turn 2 thanks to Schooling.
No they didn’t. In case you didn’t know, expansions and mini-sets are designed and scheduled to be released in advance. They didn’t design the mini-set AFTER they released the Lich King expansion. They designed it at the same time as the expansion.
Yet they took their sweet time nerfing a location that spawned a stealthed 8/8. They had nearly two months to look at the current state of Standard Hearthstone to adjust their mini-set which was made in advance. This would mean that they would have plenty of time to look back at their cards and slightly re-adjust them. Even playtesting them would be enough for them to know that these cards would be issues. I still won't let them off the hook for the Patron + Corpse Explosion interaction that they should've seen coming ever since they had to resolve Defile + Patron.

They had ample time to rethink the design of the Mini-Set.
Did it not occur to them that perhaps Shaman shouldn't have access to better 10 drops? Especially ones that massively reduce the cost of your other cards to make your turns swing even harder? They even printed that 6 mana 10/10 charge if you have 11 mana which means that they're prob going to let Druid get more than 10 mana after Guff gets out.
Also, I thought that the flavor of the Mini-Set was terrible. It's so mixed up that there's barely a consistent theme even for Naxxramas besides minions with the Undead tag.

Completely agree.
