Just add the other two tribes (Elementals and Totems) with heroes to support them and and Murlocks will appear far less often due to cycling of tribes. Plus those tribes could be given ways to counter murlocks to in the whole rock/paper/scissors of what tribes counter each other there would be some skill to it.
As for anyone who thinks they will change a card that already exists in hearthstone like removing poison from the dino ... forget it... they want the cards to be familiar between all modes. They might however drop it in favor of a new murlock that adapted the other murlocks but didn't have poison. But I doubt they view it as a problem at all.

I call shenanigans!!!
I don't think you ever "play" this card. However I feel like some sort of Doll master, Betrug, Plot Twist shenanigans that culminates in Rafaam replacing the ones you never played from hand will happen.

Shenanigans!!!

Where is his golden fish weapon?

I suspect that the answer is a resounding no. It is possible that Blizzard could do something like a premium subscription for $19.99 or $29.99 a month that gave you access to woW, all Standard cards in Hearthstone, All heroes and skins in Overwatch, All heroes and skins on HotS, and all expansions for Starcraft II. As long as you had a subscription active. Otherwise you could just pay for a WoW sub, buy loot crates, buy card packs etc. I would certainly pay double my current WoW sub to get those extras. If loot boxes/ card packs get classified as gambling in the US then I feel like we will see them shift to a sub for each game or one master sub.

I have yet to beat a heroic as on boss 6 every time without fail it floods the board with massive minions I can't deal with.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a published game designer, so I have some insight into game design and balance, especially card and board games...
That said ... I feel that you need to take a balanced approach when buffing or nerfing cards. The fact that Blizzard is now buffing cards shows that they are open to this strategy. But they still need to nerf cards that are limiting future designs or cards that are driving business away from their game. After all they are a business and without making money they won't be making cards.
As far as balancing the game. It would certainly be ideal if there were at least one deck that was viable in their new "specialist" tournament format for every class. No one wants to play Rogue v Rogue every match for an entire tournament. Hence we get nerfs to the overly powerful/popular class and it seems to now be followed by buffs to all classes that can help take some tier 2 or 3 decks archetypes and bring them up a touch power.
As far as how they nerf and buff, well I suspect that complex interactions take some higher level of coding to accomplish and that numerical changes to mana, attack, and health are much more easily changed via an in game update system vs the larger patch to be made available which for anyone that has worked with the apple store can attest, is an extremely painful approval process. Text changes carry with them an overhead as well, you need to localize that text across multiple languages and that translation is often not done in house and costs extra as well as taking time to coordinate with an out of house firm.
One reality of collectible card game design is that you need to have both good and bad cards. Deckbuilding is part of the game and you need to include those cards. Yea people call them pack-filler and that is what they are, they are basically the same as putting some amount of dust in place of a card in the pack. Buffs allow them to pick and choose these lower powered cards and bring them up a touch to help a bit with the overall power level of a deck.
In the end Blizzard probably has many reasons that they choose to nerf cards over buffing cards. But I am happy to see what some perceive as a slaughtering of a "sacred cow" of hearthstone game design with these latest buffs. I hope we see more of this at the half way point of every expansion cycle as well as the continued introduction of new cards or return of older cards to fill the holes left by cards rotating into the hall of fame.

This Expansion $143.11 and 700 gold
On Hearthstone since launch is $2060.70
To be fair I have spent over $4000 on World of Warcraft since its launch.
But yea ... way too much :(

This looks pretty darn good. While the Dungeon Run was interesting it left me wanting more. I have enough gold to buy this one outright but would totally spend the $20 for it based on what I have seen of it thus far. I am really looking forward to checking out streamers playing this to see if it lives up to the minor amount of hype that has been generated for this thus far. And while I feel like the content alone should be what we expect from this I also feel like just tossing out card packs like it means anything to us at this point is a mistake on Blizzards part.
Don't get me wrong, card packs are fine, they are basically just extra dust to many players, but I almost feel like the carrot at the end of the stick should be shinier. Why not give us a random unattainable card back that we missed out on when we finish each of the paid wings? or just one would be fine when we finish the final wing.
I still feel like they should add a new currency, lets call them "hearthstones" and the adventure could give us one or one per wing that could be spent attaining unattainable hero portraits, card backs, or even full older card sets that you would not be able to dust so you could more easily complete a wild collection. Add these to chest rewards at the rank 5 and above monthly, add them to 12 win arena runs, add them as solo content rewards, add them as rewards for heroic brawls, just don't make them pay to win.
Anyway I am sooooooo looking forward to the solo content.

p.s. If you are someone who wants something akin to this content and you have Steam check out Slay the Spire.

1) everyone got a free Vargoth
2) free legendaries came with the 50 and 80 card bundles (I received them after I logged out and back in)

I actually think we should look to NPCs in WoW that could fit the bill. More specifically NPCs that are in Dalaran or associated with Dalaran in some way.
