HS has always been too expensive, but they completely lost me when they started throwing good basic cards in the hall of fame set.
That's nothing more than a sad excuse to make the pool of good basic cards smaller, forcing you to buy more good cards from each new set. Which are also only playable in standard for 2 years.

"Ben does not believe the Fiery War Axe has been killed off."
Honestly...? Any other weapon that costs the same(3) in terms of mana is better in every way. I don't understand the Blizzard philosophy that at least one class has to be sitting through each expansion. Last time it was Warlock now it is going to be Warrior, by the looks of it. Why?
"3-mana 3/2 weapons have been used in the past with disregard to the effect"...from classes that can play something on turn 1 and 2 that can fight aggro or 1 drops that snowball beyond a point that it can get under control. Last time I checked both Northshire Cleric and Mana Wyrm had 3 health...how does warrior counter these turn 1 minions if the Fiery War Axe costs 3 now? Now both Priest and Mage don't have to worry about their snowbally one drop being removed when facing Warriors. By increasing it's cost Blizzard has also taken away from a (rather smart)proactive play from Priest going 1st and having both Northshire Cleric and Power Word: Shield in hand. There are Priest players who simply don't play around Fiery War Axe as an answer from Warrior's turn 1(when going second) and just throw the Northshire Cleric on board. There are also players who anticipate it and play nothing on their turn 1 and decide to throw that Northshire Cleric on their second turn along with that Power Word: Shield, ensuring that she won't get removed by an eventual Fiery War Axe.
For a company that is of the notion that "players aren't stupid" when they promptly went for a change like this one, essentially making no distinction between these two types of Priest players I have mentioned as an example, you sure like to contradict yourself...

I wouldn't say the card text is clear, it should say "when drawn, cast this for free". Ambush! does't mention casting anything and it costs 0 (and it's a rogue spell), so it is not consistent.

Quote from Builder_Bob >>(...)Peter Whalen's point number 2 is quite weird though. Isn't he contradicting himself? If you can get a copy, you will indeed have multiple copies at different buff levels floating around.2) buffed weapon shuffles in. Kobold can give an unbuffed copy. Was too weird to pull the buffed one from deck or have multiple copies at different buff levels floating around.

I am a big fan of rating cards as soon as we see them, despite some people say that it isn't worth the hassle because we don't know how the meta will shape. And that is true to some extent. Everyone who bashed Keleseth was absolutely right when the expansion was released in August. I crafted the card (I said it was bad myself, but I wanted to try it in Paladin) and it didn't work. Until the nerfs came and suddenly, everyone who said it was a good card was right.
My point is, that I think it is fun to talk about cards and how they will turn out and make predictions. But to discuss which card is the most overrated card is pretty difficult. Because we need to know how the cards perform to tell whether it actually was overrated. I mean, I clearly am of the opinion that Kingsbane is the most overrated card. It was an 40% meta-defining and very good, respectively, now it is on 35% and 38% I think. And i think the card is bad. but There is no point in discussing it here as well. There will be 20 different proposals and for every card there is someone who hsa the opposite opinion. And we can't convince them and we will know in 1-2 months which card that was rated good actually turned out to be underperforming.
Edit: As to Duskbreaker , I think that this card cannot be the most overrated card, because even if Dragon priest turns out to be not in the meta, the card itself is still good. Unlike other cards that are rated very high.

Did they?
Well, that's troubling news to me.
Not only does it mean they intend to move further from the already established lore (they've been doing this quite consistently so far, to the point of having completely unknown legendaries), but they could also mean to step beyond warcraft universe.
Crossovers could still be fitting, somehow, if they are "injected" into warcraft universe, but it's really easy to build up an abomination game if you just slap things from one franchise to the other...
I hope I'm just being too pessimistic here.

This could easily make Jade Rogue worth playing.
I can't believe people think this is bad. Well, yes, I can, because hearthpwn users can never think outside the current meta.

It's also noteworthy to say that N'zoth's power can increase only so much, as you can bring back at most 6 minions at once and you can fit a limited amount of Deathrattle minions in your deck.

Quote from karnnumart >>I'm currently open K&C hoping and I'll stop when get the next legendary.
but that's not the point.
I've notice that I've got Windshear Stormcaller like 6+ times since K&C came in
about 20% from all Epic I've ever get was Windshear Stormcaller
I wonder if this was rigged?
because some random in this game was hilarious.
or should I post this on salt thread.

The non duplicate rule should extend to epics. If someone purchase 250 packs (which is quite a lot of money) should have AT LEAST all the epics in a set.

No. There needs to be one mode where you can play with any cards you want.
If you want another mode, that is what you should argue for; don't change Wild.

If a country or system wants to disallow sale of loot boxes (even conditionally); offering loot boxes for "free" along side super expensive dust seems extremely scummy to me. I hope they don't get away with it.
Release the information of how the chance of opening legendaries depends on how long since you opened your last legendary. I will be a somewhat mathy article, but I don't see the reason to hide it, seeing as it basically has been reversed engineered already.
It sure would be nice to simply buy the full expansion for 50$ instead though, like any other sane game on the market. People give this game so much leeway because it looks so much like a physical CCG, even though it is just a digital game.

Proof would be nice.
Just a question though, if one player is put in an unfavorable matchup to encourage spending money, who is the other player that is given the free win?
If losing encourages people to spend money, wouldn't it be simpler to just do nothing. As we know, one of the players inevitably has to lose.
