    posted a message on Standard rotation system, is it a little bit out of date?

    As we all know every time when new hearthstone year begin, 3 sets will be rotated out at the same time, this leads to situation where card pool is smaller in the beginning of the year and grows each time new expansion hits.

    When standard format was released there were adventures and full expansions mixed so this kind of system made sense. However, now we are only getting expansions with same amount of cards so I don't see any reason why not change standard system to be "one set in, one set out". Each time new expansion is released, the oldest set is rotated to wild. I can see only advantages in system like this:

    • Card pool is always same size, it is quite stupid that now in the beginning of the year we have less cards than in the end of the year.
    • Each set would stay in standard same amount of time, now last expansion of the year is available roughly 8 month less than first expansion of the year, this is stupid and also unfair for players, we spend same price for each pack no matter how long time cards are available for standard format.
    • Blizzard is so eager to keep standard meta fresh, what would be better than rotation every 4 month instead of once a year.

    I am sure I am not the first one thinking of this but with quick search I did not find any posts from blizzard considering this topic.

    What is your thoughts of this? I simply cannot see reason why not to change rotation system when next expansion is released.

    Nice but feels like power level should be little more for legendary. If this was epic and you could have 2 copies in your deck it wouldn't still be too OP.

    Time will show if dragon warrior will be viable and this card usable but at least card art is very nice. Very pity if good looking card like this will not see much play...

    Curves out well with Candleshot but annoys you to death when you have Eaglehorn Bow and this in your hand on T3 unless you have a coin and can equip weapon on T2. 

    Another thing is 3 slot already have cards like Animal Companion and Bearshark so cutting something for this might be a tough decision.

    Maybe best use for this is in late game when you are looking for some certain answer for certain situation.

    Not a bad card but not an auto-include for every deck.

    Maybe this card is giving Elemental mage the tempo burst it's missing in order to be competitive? Most likely not...

    I believe pirate rogue will be a thing at least in wild after expansion but we will see if this card is good enough, at least we should get some nice pirates without battlecry.

    Something like this with 2-mana card version would be nice. then you could snipe out Odd-paladin silverhands with your hero power before T5 Level Up!.

    Difficult to see how this one could be anyway playable in any deck...

    I bet this one is not the last card in this expansion with treant synergy. If we can get some more decent treant synergy cards maybe this archetype could be actually playable.

    Might be playable in some kind of mid-range decks, allows you to first go face and then trade with minion that already attacked.

    Very situational card, I will be very surprised if this will see a lot of play.

    Might be very strong card in some decks and some situations but it will also greatly restrict your plays after this one is on table.

    Very interesting card, If need to bet something this is going to be a solid tech card against certain decks but we will see how things goes after expansion comes out.

    posted a message on New Hunter Hero Card Reveal - Zul'jin

    Gotta admit I am a little disappointed after seeing this card. Not because it is so bad but spell synergy is not the first thing come to my mind when thinking of Zul'jin. Battlecry could be something like summon some fancy beasts like tigers with some fancy effect. Hero power could be more in interesting also, for example something similar to mage DK but with beasts, or maybe something enrage style where hero power is more strong the less hero have health left.

    Not a bad card but feel bad how this feels little fake, they could use something else than Zul'jin for card like this.
