I see the route Blizzard is going for and I for one hate it. Others can suck the teat of Blizzard as it rises itself from mature content, raising a player base and fan base around it, only to backtrack against it once gold gleams in their eyes. I will not, nor should any of you. For those who defend these changes, I warn that you set a dangerous precedent for companies, allowing them to turn their backs on the very people that decide to pay for their content. Regardless of whether or not the changes are significant, they are obviously not done for Blizzard's western consumers.
In terms of the content in question, removing blood is a big hit, making me very worried for the game's future art and the next to be hit for their current ones. Maybe some of you wouldn't mind a Warcraft themed ten year-old game, but for a game that focuses so heavily on an T rated game, and with a great deal of their fans (myself included) trying the game out directly from there, it s very disheartening. If they believed some of the cards were sexist (they aren't), then they would have certainly said something about it and wouldn't change the other ones. What seems to be completely ignored however in defenders of the changes are blood/violent themed cards. Outside of those who believe the game should actively turn itself into an E rated game, it makes no sense.
It's perfectly reasonable to leave the game for these changes, as it's certainly only the beginning. I commend you.
Although I do find it funny that someone would look at the succubus, a creature literally meant to seduce, and call sexism. In terms of secret-keeper, she was definitely sexualized, but portraying sexy females is not inherently sexist or objectifying. Could it be sexism if only women are portrayed in a sexy manner? Maybe, but there's plenty of men in the source material and Hearthstone. Glad to see everyone here are all experts in what women find attractive. It wasn't a problem when the game came out, and it shouldn't be now. Something's changed, and it isn't Blizzard's political standpoint (see Overwatch).
But heed my words. Watch out for other cards like Elven Archer, maybe Sylvanas, and really any suggestive card. As much as I love new art, I hate retrospective changes nobody asked for more.
Disenchanting any of them now seems like a risky move, may be better to wait it out a little, find out what's truly good and what isn't over the course of a few days of both experiencing AND experimenting. Try them out before deciding to make that (basically) permanent decision.
My concern is that they are adding this effect to the game.
You are going to use this card as an example instead of Skulking Geist? Remove a card from the bottom of your opponent's deck isn't unfun. Removing all copies of a specific type of card from both hand and deck, is.
You know, I didn't even see that card lol. Idk what's going on in blizzard's head atm.
I hate this card. It literally goes against both their word and their ideals for hearthstone. You can argue left and right about it being balanced or not. That isn't my concern. My concern is that they are adding this effect to the game. I never found flat out removing your opponent's cards from their deck before they can even see them, as a good thing. If Blizzard did it once, however, they can do it again. Imagine if this was a discover card. "Discover cards in your opponent's deck. Destroy one." Not only is it unfair, but it is not fun. This could at best frustrate the enemy and the player gets a laugh as their opponent's win condition is destroyed through pure RNG, and a worst a never used epic that predict things to come.

Sexy = Bad
Blood = Bad
Violence/Death = Bad

WTF IS THE POINT IF PEOPLE STILL PLAY THIS SHIT!

I don't believe that is necessary though. That is like restricting freedom of speech. If you are in a bad mood, don't accept friend requests.

Randuin is a fun deck to play. That is, of course, it you have all the legendaries.
Noxious (The creator) playing it.
Old decklist
New decklist
But that aside, i suggest you remove a cabal for Nefarian. I find the randomness fun and keeps your opponent guessing.

Man, these guys really hate priests. It's my main. ;)
But being frost nova'd and then doomsayered really pisses me off.
