Yes this was my thought too.  There are WAY too few minions available...there are 4 “classes” and that’s really it.  Meanwhile there’s 24? Bosses?  Some absolutely suck and some broken OP.  There should be more strategies available...in particular upgrading vs leveling should be a more difficult decision...Maybe leveling shouldn’t stop at 6?...Maybe there should be a strategy that you migrate to all giants or legendaries?  Maybe there should be some limited spell use or secrets?  (Ok that’s probably a dumb idea).

I’ll play some more, but the two things I’d like to see most are:

1. Add some “non-alliance” minions sprinkled in to the mix at each level...they should be stronger individually but not fit any alliances...that would create some tougher choices and dilute the alliance mix a tad.

2. Add more than 6 levels with the leveling “penalty” increased but make the minions in those levels better.

Im sure they have done all these things in their play testing so there must be a reason, but multiple strategies are usually a good thing. Once you hit 6 right now, there’s very little strategy other than upgrading your pieces...within one of the 4 alliances.

The good thing about Golden Dragon Priest is you have a lot if interesting neutral dragons that can be "golden" in other decks too...and aren't most secret hunter cards class cards?

But, maybe you should effort to get 500 wins with Priest?

I realize there is lance carrier...but aggro decks need buffs...so maybe lance carrier would replace a 2 mana abusive in those decks since the buff is permanent.  But a 1-2 is so brutal.  At least a 2-1 can kill a 2 drop on its own.

Its clearly broken and needs a nerf.  Obviously they could make it a 1-1 or only give a 1 buff....but I was just wondering HOW broken is it?  Is it broken enough to get play at 1 mana more?

Tuskar should only be able to spawn one of the 4 basic shaman totems - searing, healing, spell, taunt (i know they have other names, but who knows what a stoneclaw totem is?)

Rockbiter should only work on totems or minions, not the hero.

Abusive is probably the most broken card in all of hearthstone.  I bet it would still be played if it was 2 mana. 

Tuskar should be nerfed to only spew one of the 4 class totems...nothing else.

Lol, of course it would be broken. Do you want the worst class to become the most broken one ever? Nice balance dude, I'm glad you don't work for Blizzard. 1 mana less for all priest cards is huge, you really don't know what are you talking about.

Obviously Priest would be better...but would they dominate?  Maybe?  More likely they would just be competitive.

Maybe people would figure out how to play Temple Enforcer and really take advantage of the health pool that Priest can provide.

But, in general, most of the priest cards, other than Entomb, Cabal and a 5 mana Temple enforcer are just "ok"

ok, it's way too strong...but still, they have a million 4 drops that all compete against each other...or now 3 drops in this alternate reality....in the meantime Druid and Shaman can play giants on turn 4 (or earlier)....Hunter can pump out massive damage every turn, topping out with call of the wild on turn 8...so Priest would be strong, but probably not unbeatable.

it's fine for some value...but not great tempo...and for a true "curve" card, currently there are no 3 drop Dragons.

Discover mechanics are really better as late game options when you know what you need vs what you think you will need/want.

First I would like to say that I don't want priest to be the strongest class...I am not sure I want it to even be in the top half.  A meta where Priest dominates would instantly become the worst meta in the history of Hearthstone.  

BUT!  Priest should be playable.  Priest should not be 100% auto-concede to certain decks (OTK warrior, Cthun Druid, Shaman...etc).  

Priest is terrible now because Zombie Chow is gone, Lightbomb is gone, deathlord is gone...

So, my simple changes would be just 3 changes.

1.  Bring Lightbomb back.  Add it back to the standard pool.  Priest NEEDS a better board clear.   Paladin has insane ways to fully clear the board....Warlock does for gods sake.  Priest can pick a random minion off or hit for 2 or 3...but so many minions are massive now.

2. Make Cabal Shadow Priest a 5 drop.  Maybe it would be too broken...but 6 mana is too much for your best card.  Druid has Druid of the Claw for 5.  they can make a 4/6 with taunt.  Whats wrong with a yeti + a steal for 5?

3. Give priest a real one drop...how about zombie chow.  It actually fits.  A 1 drop that heals for 5.  It should be a priest card. 

4. Other ideas.  give priest it's own wild pyro-like card.  Maybe a 1 or 3 drop....maybe a 1/4 pyro like card for 1 mana?  

Obviously they still have problems with 4 attack minions, but you can't give them everything...

I posted this under the card area too...I disagree with most of the people that like this card.   Maybe you could run one and hope for a non-charge frothing type combo...but the number of games you win with that will be far outweighed by the number of games you lose because you burned a circle for little gain....

4 mana is not where Priest needs a buff.  Auchenai sits there, as does Shadow Madness.  A few people have been playing Shenjen as a 4 drop too, but if you run this, what are you cutting?  a shadow madness?

1 and 2 drops are the problem for priest.  Other than combo-shrinkmeister, they all suck.  Pyro is good for certain decks, but something like an anoyotron with more health would be insane since you could plop it on 2...it would live....and then you could Velen it.

The odds this card makes it past a turn with multiple heals is slim...you might as well just play a yeti and on average you will be in about the same place.  Turn 4 burning a circle is a big deal...and a turn 6 6-mana 5/5 is crap.

Blingtron always gives golden weapons...

I have been thinking about which class can build the best Class only deck.  And who would win the tourney (and who would be the worst?)

I think Priest and Druid would do quite well.

Hunter and Warlock seem quite weak.

I would love to see a tourney set up this way....you could actually set up the opposite tourney too...all Neutrals, no Class cards.  Both would be a fun spin on the same old same old.
