 Having taunt minions is imo not related to lore in any way tho

And then again rogue had some healing in WoW (Leeching poison and Crimson vial comes to mind) i agree that it shouldnt be just healing without anything but something like a combo card would be great and still fit the flavour of the class.

No "strong" AOE is somewhat fine tho but heal is heavily needed

I think that Rogue should not have heal or big taunt or strong aoe because of lore blah blah etc. However, they should have many powerful tempo, card draw and hard removal which they dont really have right now so

Stupidest post I have seen today, Hearthstone is a game because you donwload it and play it, but in reality, it is a profession for many people, they make money writing, playing or talking about hearthstone. So to say don't worry it is just a game is stupid. Maybe to rank 11 players it is just a game, but for people with passion, Hearthstone is much more to them. 

It's like saying to a poker player that just lost 5 million dollars, it was just a game.

I doubt kazakus is strong enough to justify a one card only deck without reno, but we'll have to see what comes up with the first expansion of 2017. Also, taking thaurissan out of the meta makes me sad because he was the one card that made most combo decks work. Also justicar was so cool in priest and warrior, im gonna miss her so mucb ç.ç

Basically, no more combo decks, no more highlander decks and less control warriors

Actually, if they didn't change anything, I believe that BRM and TGT will rotate with the first expansion of the 2017 which is probably gonna be released in the spring... my bet would be late march or early april.

I am pretty sure BRM and TGT rotates out at the beginning of 2017 right, year of the pegasus right? So for like the 2-3 weeks the meta will be interesting, but TGT and BRM dont actually have as many playable cards across the board or many sleeper cards that were missing pieces before mean streets. So I feel like the meta wont be that different post-expansion releases vs post year rotation.

I am not sure why some F2P people would leave the game, a new expansion makes many decks more viable as the meta settles meaning worse decks can do better. So with that in mind It would be much easier to get gold and rank up, so I think people are not going to leave the game. 

And brann emperor synergies have always been in the game but just never see play in t1-3 decks because they are much to specific so I don't think the meta will be boring at all 

Yeah for sure a tech slot right now, kinda wasnt sure what to put in so I left them as heals. I think fok might be a bit to slow, they are pretty meta dependant and were never played in the original tempo rogue back in beta, I think they are pretty weak, but great suggestion we will see where the meta ends up maybe murloc shaman will be op op, you never know

I think Archmage is not played because most people do not have it in their collection.  If you have it, you most definitely play the card as it is a win condition card; that is what I hear from people a lot regarding the card.

The bigger discussion over the card and any legendary is 'if you have the card in your collection do you have it in your decks?  How often to you play those decks?'  I think that goes for most legendary cards.  If you have the card do you put it in decks?  

Okay

this is amazingly broken

Often this will be the first card you play that spawns a jade golem, it will be a stealth possessed villager on curve, which is pretty bad, but not terrible.

However, this is the only 2 mana minion in the game that is valuable on turn 25, it can summon huge jade golems just by default if you only ran this, raptor and n'zoth they would get up to like 3/3 on average wich is not bad. Now if you run more jade cards, the spell, the 4 drop maybe the legendary it will allow you to get massive broken value off of those cards

Also, this card has stealth which means no silence, no earthshock, easy raptor copy, basically assured value. also cool interactions with brawls and board clears, vs slow value decks like control warrior you could just no pop this guy let 2-3 jade golems be played for one +1/+1 less then they could have been so after a board clear this card can generate more value.

I see problems with this deck however, it might suffer from the Menagerie Warden syndrome where pure big stats are just terrible no matter the body distribution. I do believe that rogue has many more tempo tools than druid as well as more flexible cards to work around it, but it still might be a problem

This card is for sure broken just like Jade idol, but the game might not be ready to abuse these cards just yet

Well I moved arch mage down today as it was in tier 1, it is rarely played in freeze or tempo mage barron, harrison and cairne are all tech cards and dont always see play in warrior and yes I will try to update it for launch day

Hey guys I just updated the thread, so sorry I have been gone for a while I would like to keep this updated please if anyone has any recommendations we can discuss as a group here how we want to change the thread further. 

Thanks,

Blizzard's Hearthstone department team has a terrible idea for how balance should work imo. 

You can't rotate classes in and out of god tier every year. Then the game is effectively never balanced in any micro situation, but over the course of like 9 years I guess it would feel balanced in some perspectives. 

I have been beating it with midrange paladin very easily 

jade golem better be a 0/0 state line or this card is going to make druid much more consistent 

Also in warrior you can hit it with enrage cards and it wouldn't take damage, nothing game changing but a super cool design 10/10
