I would absolutely love to see a non evergreen mode. I know this is not for new players at all since it doesn’t include the basic cards you get for free but it would be a separate player pool like standard and wild and brawl etc.
Also if they plan to keep the evergreen set in play forever they need to give an option to buy a bulk of it. Not every legendary in the set or anything but a solid chunk of the most utilized commons, rares, epics, and a few neutral legendaries. Things like Savannah Highmane for Hunter and brawl for warrior. Make them non disenchantable so people aren’t just using it to buy essentially. I think this would massively help the new player experience or even the player who’s been playing for a couple expansion.

Finished Warrior, Shaman, and Rogue, going for Paladin, Druid and Hunter tonight.
Would have had Warlock and Priest, but-
FUCK THE TRAPPED ROOM, that is unfair and unwinnable unless you randomly get tons of counter play

I'd rather play Druid of the Claw for one more mana and be able to attack without armor and have versatility. Even that's not seeing much play though, so I can't see a world where this is ever played in constructed.

Nice! A mainstay in my rank 25 dragon priest.

Blizzard doesn't want it to be as skill intensive and competitively awarding as it could be because the game would be too unfriendly to new players and too difficult to get into. Basically, it's not because they don't care, necessarily, but because they want to do good business, and new and casual players are the biggest chunk of their income.

Bad even in arena- it's decent if you land it on a 1/1 or a 2/2, but what are the odds of having a one or two drop by turn six? If you play a 5/6 on five, then trade into your opponent's 5/5, then play this on six, you're paying six mana to heal five and give +1 attack. And in standard there are just better evolve options- the card seems like a worse version of Eternal's Deranged Dinomancer.

To get 6 mana's worth of value from this card isn't too difficult though, since you only need 2/3 worth of stats to make it a boulderfist ogre. Anything above a 2/3 and you've gotten an above average summon. I wonder if drawing the spell would have broken this card.

Its probably worded that way to cover their tails if something unexpected were to happen out of their control that pushed the expansion back

Anyfin paladin before the murloc wording change, specifically Apdrop's list I'm Oct-November 2016. That noise when a big anyfin was played followed by a bunch of heavy thuds when they all hit for a million damage, uggghhh
