Golden Toshley, ended up disenchanting, because I got Toshely again in another pack.. My other legendaries so far from GvG packs has been: Gaslowe and Foe Reaper
With that bad luck, you might as well make it into an "advantage"
Add in crazed alchemist, and use on Jaraxxus then hit for 15 dmg. I doubt anyone would bother killing jaraxxus as a minion anyway, they would be to busy spamming "sorry".
Let's face it, since beta people have tried to come up with these combo decks that you burst people down with in 1 or 2 turns. That's not going away, since the dmg in hearthstone is rather high compared to the health you have.
I still don't think hunters will be that bad after these nerfs. Some changes need to be made, obviously, buzzard is officially a useless card.
Gotta be "Randuin Wrynn" which I believe noxxious made, he's playing it all the time at least. It makes for some hilarious games. And a looong time ago I had my own silly decks, basically setting up for one turn kills as the theme.
Like for example using The Beast (yes, really) and Master of Disguise (another rarely used card). Or priest using Inner Fire with health buffs on high health minions (or using alchemist for other classes, for lower dmg).
Of course such decks rely heavily on getting the cards needed for your combo, and aren't very consistent. But man is it fun to swing in with a concealed The Beast or a Malygos that's been buffed into oblivion yelling "You are finished!".
People are fools if they think copying tournament decks will have the same rate of success in constructed ladder. As long as you can play decks that don't require all that much thinking, and just go for face. Then people will do that.
I dunno, it's the same as it always have been IMO. Most play a rush focused deck, while most of the others play a control heavy deck. Then a very small percentage plays random decks they have put together themselves.
Only difference now is that the most played classes and decks have changed. It will change again after the next wing, probably. To even more rush decks I bet.
I for one think they are too slow, and still easily countered to be all that effective.
And I have not had problems dealing with them when I have seen them been played, so far. Feugen and Stalagg are simple enough to remove with minions, and if you don't have silences you just keep in mind that Thaddius is likely coming sooner or later. So just keep removal until then.
Of course, you could wait until your opponent has used their removal. But that makes them even slower, and you might be dead soon anyway.
Nearly forgot, thaddius is an issue when it summons 2 of him instead of just 1. I seriously hope that gets looked into.
I don't think standard priest will change all that much, except that dark cultist will likely be in most decks.
There will be many new gimmick decks for priests for sure. I am going to test out more aggressive style priest, but still think control focused decks will be better for priest.

And that's it so far from packs.

Going to buy some packs for sure. I haven't really bothered with arena, but will probably play more of it with GvG.
Still don't have all the classic cards either.

But yeah, you have been very unlucky for sure.

Priest and druid, I find both to be very versatile.

I take it you haven't heard of the order of the silver hand. Though they should have been wearing the silver hand tabard, I guess.

I agree that Buzzard should probably be nerfed, but the nerf that is planned is too much in my opinion.
Not that I care much, I barely play hunter.

Realz on the development team ? That's pretty damn awesome, he's a great player who will surely only improve the state of the game : )

I have doubts that you would gain much more insight from coaching, that you couldn't just get from watching high skilled players.
Depends on how you yourself learn the best I suppose, I for one think it would be a waste for me personally.

Warrior challenge was just weird, depended a lot on what cards you got early on.
