Maybe not for you. Of course the fact that they try to hide the negativity towards their products isn't such a big deal, but its still a fact and it says something about the company doing this. I understand that the game is worth it, but sometimes corporations are greedy and disrespectfull enough to stop buying anything from them

The best time in Hearthstone is coming - card reveals and theorycrafting period! And so far nothing about the new expansion was disappointing.
Teasers of solo adventure hyped things up. Third teaser was a bit underwhelming but Rafaam reveal "leaks" carried everything solo. This "villains teaming up" theme gives a pleasant heist feeling comparable with GTA V and Payday 2 for me. And everything is most likely going to happen in Dalaran, one of my favourite locations in WoW.
The art style of these teasers is also satisfying. I mean just look at Rafaam, community is going to riot if this Dalaran cardback doesn't make it in game.
They did a really good job with the expansion tralier, I especially like the last frame and the song as usual. The name of the expansion feels really fitting with the theme
In the announcement video Dave Kosak did so much better than in Boomsday and Rastakhan Rumble videos. "Is it good against hunter?" line made me chuckle a little bit :D
New cards and mechanics are very interesting. Also it seems that they're going with value/greed approach with them but not on infinite scale like the DKs and I really appreciate it.
Just look at these three. Pure value and fun while actually being good cards. Russian-speaking community will especially appreciate Chef Nomi's translation :D
New Twinspell keyword also pushes the value game forward. It basically means that you can put 4 copies of a spell occupiying only 2 deckslots. Pure greed, exquisite.. Also its nice that they aren't done with the treant theme for druid.
Lackeys are a cool concept, just like potions in MSoG. Some people are saying EVIL Miscreant is a bad card, however I think quite the opposite. 1/5 is 2 mana body and 2 lackeys that cost only 1 mana with strong effects for their costs pushes both tempo and value for rogue (combo makes it a bit clunky though)
Its nice that they are bringing back the "forbidden" mechanic. Priest can finally remove 4 attack minions. Also 2 mana kill Mosh'Ogg Enforcer or 0 mana kill Flametongue Totem is always appreciated. And I have to say that the art is intimidating and I like it.
An interesting replacement for Volcano after the rotation. Some think its op because if you mulligan for this card, then it's 5 dmg AOE for 5 mana on turn 5, however it is a terrible topdeck later in the game. We'll see how it goes, I'm really looking forward to similar mechanics. Someone even said that it was confirmed that there is no upper limit for the upgrades, correct me if I'm wrong.
Finally the Spellward Jeweler, simple defensive tech-card with premium stats that isn't broken in any way. Its always nice to see these in Hearthstone. Can't wait for to see a video on Trolden where priests try to heal themselves after playing this card :D I also love that they keep their art style with gnome cards
Some classes will be represented by the villains (Maybe the other 4 will be represented by heroes?? Maybe even in the next espansion???)
Priest - Madame Lazul (The Fortune Teller)
Rogue - Togwaggle
Shaman - Hagatha
Warlock - Rafaam
Warrior - Dr. Boom
That's what I liked about MSoG and RR, every class belongs to a certain group. This brings so much flavour and it's great that they are keeping this element in the Rise of Shadows.
I really wish Ben Brode was still in Team 5 to make the reveals million times better, but overall I see a lot of improvement in the start of the new year, I hope they keep that up.
Edit: Wow, a potential shuffle 30 copies of a card in your deck. This is stupid and amazing!
Did I mention that shaman is my favourite class? Well that's why I'm so excited about the new legendary and we finally get to choose the targets. Unfortunately we lose the best shaman spells, but that's why Team 5 will print some new ones. Its also a very fresh concept which is nice
I crafted Patches the Pirate and 2xSouthsea Captains just a couple of months before rotation for some aggro paladin because I was playing every deck that required the pirate package without even having it for a long time. And just when I used my 2400 dust to craft those cards, a nerf to patches was announced. Sure I got refunded for him, but now I have 2 useless epics sitting in my collection for more than a year already.
Playing on iPhone SE, the game runs very well. But the main problem for me is the fucking chat. Who the fuck decided that automatically closing the chat is a good idea?

Thanks! Yeah, I've got a good feeling about this one as well. I hope this turns out even better than Un'Goro did 2 years ago

Well, they did delete hundreds of thousands dislikes and comments from Diablo: Immortal trailer

Hmm, yes, good point actually

I'd say he's on Lord Godfrey coolness levels, which is great :D

I've never pre-ordered expansions before, but this one really makes me want to do it!

Un'Goro was the best, and even though MSoG was the worst, I still had a lot of fun during that time.

Half of these posts are about good cards lol. This thread is about bad cards, bad in terms of power level i.e. weak.

Yeah, I noticed that too. But in the poll most of the people voted for Rafaam
