I would like to have seen Jia and/or Cora included in this format. They are both superior technical players but sadly they are casters so that probably wasn't a possibility.

The new garbage format and a terrible meta are playing into this a lot as well. 

yeah that doesn't work at all EVER.

I agree but it's how they look at wild. If they actually cared they would make a new format that used rotating sets from previous editions and changed say every 6 months or something.  that would give players a new pool of cards to play with that never saw interaction together at the same time without having all the OP/broken cards together at once.

It's not that Conj Call and Boom are broken. It's that there are 6 other classes in the game that could be played but aren't because they are just so bad after rotation. It goes to show you how much those 2017 expansions really broke the game and limited design space. I do not envy the new design teams job to fix the mess that the previous design team created.

Priest and Druid are paying for the sins of the previous design team would propped them up for several years on broken expansion cards. Without those expansion cards they are as bad as they were before that trend started. Rexxar was actually a terrible DK until they added the rest of the beasts into the mix in a patch and gave him direct expansion support later.

All those cards need reverted back. It was a knee jerk reaction to a problem at the time that really didn't exist. Even so i don;t think it would be enough to bring Druid back into the fold of the competitive game. They lost so much in rotation.

If Warlock get a little but of support in the next expansion i like the Breaker even more. I kinda wish it was a 6 cost but it might be busted curving from 5. Although curving from the 6 cost taunt into this would be good in a mid to late game Warlock deck. It's also a really good demon to discover or create with effects which basically buffs those cards.

If druid still had actual ramp in game they would be though. Druid is suffering under a knee jerk reaction from a design team that no longer exists at blizzard. They should revert those changes immediately to at least give them a chance. 

How about the other 6 classes that are never played at the competitive level? One class cannot do it all and has to have weaknesses. At the very least you should be happy as rogue player that your class is actually viable.

Like a roach though the class continues to perform and dominate the meta. Maybe the changes aren't hurting it as bad as you think? Perhaps allowing the other 6 classes that aren't contributing to the meta would be nice as well?

Yes although many of the specific examples given by players here are from a different design team. Keep in mind that not to long ago they shook up the HS team and most of the key personal and designer left and were replaced. We are only now starting to see the new teams philosophy of the game which is very different than the previous one. 

Reading these comments is really sad. The whole class identity discussion they made in the post was 100% in regards to the BASE SET not expansion cards. Expansion cards are supposed to go outside the constraints and strengths of the class. The base set though needs to be rigid and adhere to their original design philosophy. 

Ahh i see we have another Blizzard internal play tester commenting on how bad the cards are because he spent months evaluating them behind closed doors.  I guess design didn't want to listen to his superior knowledge through 100's of hours of carefully testing all of these cards. I mean how could he be wrong if knows it all and solved it all?

BTW: Pogo Rogue doesn't need vanish to play the deck. It was played in that deck as a long term value/board control card that complimented the hopper on occasion. The card in general though is way to powerful and it's been on their radar for some time for good reason.
