"We’ve decided to take a step back and pause" [and] "we would also like to take the time to reimagine what a BlizzCon event of the future could look like." 

**real meaning...we ran out of new shift to do and we've got nothing exciting right now.

"We’re excited about what we’ll do with the event when we revisit it in the future" 

**real meaning...this event is too expensive to justify it's existence...especially since we don't have any great new games to announce that justifies the massive marketing expense, but someday we'll think of a reason to spend all that marketing money on something.

If Blizzard was owned by Amazon would they have a "Prime Day" for everyone to play their "Prime Cards" like Zixor Prime?

This entire conversation is stupid because if they nerf every card that everyone is whining about there will automatically be a new batch of cards for everyone to want nerfed. 

Man-up and grow a set.

Bad deck

 I concur.

Not even the "work around" is working. 

First day of the new cards and new season rotation and Blizzard can't get their $h!t together. 

Quote from Shipmen >>

Regarding what people are saying, power level seems very very high nearly broken, but of course, everything rotates. therefore these cards must necessarily be played. 

What I believe debatable is the innovation. Low.

 I'd agree...some cards look like there is a potential to be "broken"...I'd guess some nerfs will be coming in early April so rack up the wins while you can.

Someone check my math, but I think I counted 5650 total available gold after reaching level 100.

I'm currently at level 200 this season and have enough gold saved to buy 125 packs. I'm still wondering if the gold accumulation next season will be better, the same or worse if I play the same amount.

btw...as a FTP player I don't care about the hero skins or legendary cards and other freebees that are accumulated along the way down the track next season...they don't contribute to acquiring new packs for the season after Barron's. 

The new Freeze Mage is back.

Not very invigorated by that sermon. 

"I stuck at D1 for some time yo-yo between stars but that's because of mirror or unfortunate draw streak."

I contend that you were stuck at D1 for another reason...Blizzard's algorithms. The reason is because I noticed that every time I get to D1, I start to take losses due to horrible card draw or horrible match-ups or both. I then switch decks or switch from Wild to Standard...play a few games...and then switch right back to the same deck I was playing and then hit legend rank with a four game win streak.

Not only have I experienced this season after season, but I have had other HS friends tell me that they did the same thing and then they hit legend rank. D1 level triggers something in Blizzard's programing to decrease your odds of winning because they know you're close and really want legend rank and you will likely just keep playing to get that carrot dangling in front of you that is just out of reach. Meanwhile, you are now D2 and moving the wrong way which keeps you playing more games.   

lol ?

isn't this the Hearthstone Deck "Abyssal Assault" ?

btw. this deck is weak and looses to nearly everything

Gezz pvp mode sucks for this. The matches are never even close, it's always a stomp. 

The Mercenaries button is still not clickable (just glows blue) on any region, 18 hours after it was supposed to be "Live". PC. Don't even care for this game-mode, but neither do the team5, apparently.

Couldn’t pay me to play this trash, packs from this game mode better not end up replacing real packs.

I've been enjoying Casino Mage with Nozdormu the Eternal of course.

15 Renounce Darkness ?

Rogue with a bunch of weapon buffs did the trick quite well.

How to make the most annoying half-deck:

1. Put in Start Of Game effect cards.  The trio I have are Norzudamu the Eternal, Prince Malchezar and C'thun the Shattered, which activates for both sides.  And if Norzudamu activates first (considering this places a copy in your opponent's deck), the timer may start during the third card's animation.  However, Benedictus, Greymane and Baku might not activate due to their requirements.  Also, original and new Norzudamu don't stack their animations, so only use one of them.

2. Put in all the quests.  These quests come from Ungoro, Uldum and Stormwind and will always start in your and their hands, which means that the opponent will have to mulligan and hope they get good cards.  For me, my quest trio is on my Priest; you should be happy that they'll pick the Stormwind Quest because the Discover that triggers after each step interrupts their battle plans.

3.  I personally go with Discover or Adapt because they pause plans when used, though only four cards have double Discover/Adapt.  Alternatively, you can try cards that draw more cards for your and your opponent to mess up their tempo (and burn some if they spend too long being careful).  If you are pro enough, you may know which battlecries/Legendaries take too long to activate when played.

 Results:  First pally I used this kind of deck on conceded first turn.  Others do play on, but I did win some as Malchezar and Discover give me some flexibility to play around.

From one dying game to the other.
They're really getting desperate now.
