Nothing, F2P still completely viable. I can craft any deck, I just can't have all the collection and craft everything. If you don't want to spend any money, just don't spend it, it's really that simple.

Play to pay and never see a Reward.

What should the Reward be? The game is the reward, if you don't enjoy the game, why would you play it even for free?

Meanwhile over at the WoW folks, the smarter side of Blizzard's community (unlike HS)  ...

First reply already answers the question.

Imagine calling the players who are whining on Blizzard's forums "the smarter side of Blizzard's community (unlike HS)".

It's interesting how people love Ben Brode and hate Alec Dawson when all we really know is Ben Brode is good on camera and Alec Dawson is not. Promote Chakki! :D

So you're blaming people for the desire to overcome difficulties rather than just give up? How long ago did lack of willpower become a virtue?

I don't know why did they even expected a new constructed brawl every week like it ever was like that. Brawl was made as fast and preferably fun way to play and receive a pack and for Blizzard to test different game mechanics. Stats have shown that random brawls without using collection are more popular. It totally make sense that they use them as repeatable brawls more often.

I want to upvote you, but + button doesn't work so +1

Tip: If anyone wants to increase the chance of playing a game of mutual Nozdormu, go to Casual mode, because that's where all the players who don't like it, like me, will go.

if he says he is happy the whole HS community should be grateful to Zeddy

I find this statement hilarious

Well, from what I've read at this forum, his negative opinions were not only negative, but made no sense, so it's quite likely that patch would not be good (or good for Zeddy and not for me). I don't mind if it would be good, of course, but if anyone's opinion says nothing for me it's Zeddy's.

 Not eligible. Battleground Battlemaster is a common

 Not sure if I'm missing a joke here, but Loatheb is indeed eligible and on the list, Battlemaster would not be because it's a common.

Legendaries only.

 Some famous streamer called Battlemaster 'this Loatheb' on a card review stream some days ago and it's been trending since, with other streamers calling their Handbuff Paladind decks 'Loatheb Paladin' etc...

 It was Hunterace, he also tweeted the same joke: "To everyone out there struggling with otk decks.. I remind you that Loatheb is a card in the game and instead of making their cards cost more mana they die". I'm still cheering for the original Loatheb :)

I'm cheering for Loatheb

restrictive mechanics have always been bad

I was also at full health.  He played 32 mana worth of stuff on turn 6 having also drawn 5 cards on the way while ramping.  Cleared my whole board and OTK'd me at the same time.  Anub'Rekhan is basically a free 7/7 with an upside.

These types of games are why I think Hearthstone is basically broken now.  I know this was a slight highroll on their part, but it shouldn't be able to happen (and it's likely it would have happened before turn 10 anyway). 

It's like rogues playing 0 mana 10 cost spells on turn 4, mages playing 0 mana 10 cost spells which then get repeated with a battlecry that says "Repeat the last spell you've cast that costs (5) or more."  To be clear I'm OK with the initial 0 cost spell manipulation through Barbaric Sorceress.  It requires some deck design limitation, you can see it coming and as a singular effect it's often not game deciding on it's own.  But why does it get repeated?

Mana cheat isn't fun or fair (I include the evolve mechanic with Goldshire Gnoll and similar).  The classes with no mana cheat are basically dead in the water (or are forced to play aggro/face decks). 

Turn 6 - lost a full board and died to Brann-Druid shite.  It was such a fun and interactive gameplay experience.

Which decks do you play?
If it loses against any DK deck it's definitely not because DK is too powerful.
The only good DK deck right now is Frost DK and you can counter it pretty easily with any control deck.
Even Control Warrior is favored in that matchup.

I have no idea who is Zeddy.

 Same here, I only know of his existence cuz of this Forum.

Seems ppl give him way to much credit, otherwise he wouldnt be mentioned that often.

Yep, I never heard of him anywhere but this forum and thought this guy is like a cult leader for whiners or something. At some point it was looking like it's Zeddy himself making threads about him, because I don't know who would care about him so much. The funniest opinion about him I saw was, direct quote, "If he says he is happy [about the balance patch] the whole HS community should be grateful to Zeddy he is the one who’s fighting our battle against Blizzard". Turns out, some if his haters are not so far from that in terms of giving him too much credit.

I hope you have also seen the follow up thread after the patch landed!

I like them.  I do admit they'd look more in line with the game's overall design if they didn't have those elaborate portrait frames though.  But then again, the HS design team is clearly starting to move away from the old design style, at least for new content, see signature cards for instance.

Honestly, the mistake with DH was buffing Relic Vault.  It provides far too much free mana now at 2. 

Naga/Bless Priest was literally the top deck at Legend for 7 months straight once Serpent Wig was buffed. It had this coming.
