The more I look at all the cut cards , the more I get worried for all the F2P players. Sure , we are all getting the core set for free, but the core set is half as big as the Classic/Basic set. This means that the options on deck building are going to be as dependent as ever on current, rotating set cards as it has ever been .
Also the core set is very underpowered compared to the classic/basic set. We got a couple of buffs like Jaraxxus , some of the legendary dragons and the 1 mana Shamman minion, but when you realize we are losing most of the staples in most decks shit starts to get serious. Hunter losing Kill Command, EH Bow, and animal companion, Mage losing all of its useable freeze cards, Sorceress apprentice and KT Mage, and Warrior losing shield block , BR, and Kor'kron Elite , just to name a few.
I seriously hope that the buffed cards are enough to help out new players making some cheap viable decks.

I mean if you are playing against aggro and this hits his 1 drop. The opponent laughs, plays Skull of Guldan, floods the board and kills you next turn for wasting your time playing a 7 mana 3/2 

Believe it or not kid, cosmetics used to be something baked into games and not something you had to get mommy's credit card for. They used to be something that demonstrated your dedication to the game through how much time you invested to get something really rare, and no matter how much money you had you couldn't just buy it in a couple of minutes. Cosmetics used to have value as a symbol of status. Not everyone could have the Black Qiraji battle tank or the Black Proto Drake , so when you saw one you knew that person was serious about the game.

Now cosmetics are just dumb valueless garbage to sell to whales , and even if there are some that you can only get once through gameplay  you can rest assured that they will sell it back to you in the future, making it lose all the value it had. And it is all possible thanks to dumb people that buy/support this practices, just like you. 

I think you just hit the nail in the head my friend. Usually I make guesses myself but this year I think it'll be exactly what you said.

Edit: I think the second expansion could be Stormwind because of the Bricks behind the flag.

It is the win condition on a tier 3 (some even say tier 4) deck. If you think the card is a problem you really need to understand that some terrible decks often have very good winrates against high tier decks, and this is no reason to get your panties in a twist for. Sure your greedy control deck might struggle against this deck, but they lose to most of the other decks out there, they only play those decks to counter your kind of deck, and this is good, because it helps keeping control in check.

Zeph is also one of my favorite cards, but its too soon to add it to the core set. We all need a break from strong cards at some point.

I actually don't think so. If people are playing wild which is an unbalanced stale mess, I'm pretty sure there will be people that enjoy the classic set (not myself included though)

As I understand it , you wont need to get the unnerfed versions if you already have the nerfed versions. They'll just show differently in Classic format. But if you don't have some of the legendaries from the classic set like Rag, Sylvanas , or the Charge murloc you will probably be able to open them from classic packs when it goes live.

I have been saving a ton of classic packs for a while now. What will happen to them when the core rotation kicks in?

I kinda hope they did a HS Netflix series, kinda like yu gi oh. I thought they where hinting at it when they did this trailer, not sure why they havn't done so yet. Seems like great publicity.

Hahah wow man Blizzard really upping the ante with their sucking up to China. Just look at those cheaper-than-cheap, China level quality hero portraits. Like it's been ripped for from one of those abhorent games that pop up in our ads.  They really outdid themselves. But hey! They gave you guys some freebies, so no harm done. Blizzard, where every voice matters! Except Blitzchungs, apparently.

It really saddens me that I'll get downvoted to Oblivion, but that will just prove my point. 

I'm a big fan of Highlander decks, but I think it's healthy for the game to take breaks from them. Thanks to Zephrys and later Dragonqueen Alexstrasza Highlander has been a part of every meta since Uldum, and people are rightfully getting tired of playing against them. While being a fantastic deckbuilding challenge I have tonnes of fun with, Highlander is a bit boring to play against, since everything being a one-off means playing around specific cards becomes less reasonable and you just wind up hoping they don't have anything. I hope they take a Standard rotation or so off of printing Highlander cards, but I really don't have any reason to think they will. Then again, I don't have any reason to think they won't, either.

This is the most stupid nerf. It was a decent tool to give one of your own minions rush. With a little random luck you where able to kill one or more enemies protected by a taunt. You could trigger your own deathrattle at the same turn to prevent the deathrattle to get stolen, silenced or transmorphed. Just to name a few possibilities. Now Hysteria is useless most of the time. They took away the good removals and now they took away a removal you had to combo. Like Abominatition + Hysteria, Lifestealminion + Hysteria, Freezeminion + Hysteria, buffed Infectious Sporeling + Hysteria, (havent tested, but minions who cant attack + Hysteria), Moat Lurker + Hysteria, Poison minions + Hysteria, Sylvanas + Hysteria, etc. etc. etc. etc. But nope, they chose to take away this tool from the Priest now too.

chinese card game

Warlocks might not need it with cascading disaster, but priest certainly needs something in standard that doesn't say "pull a random card out of your ass"

I have 36 packs. Should i buy mini set for 2000 gold?

Wait ... they are HoF'ing Edwin, yet there will be no dust refund like in years prior? Hahahaha, classic, family friendly Blizzard. The devil in disguise. 

Come to Gwent! We have free goodies!
