    Just want to know if I am not alone in this:

    I thought new game format will be something like mini-tournaments with such conditions that help eliminating deck and class bias and luck impact in constructed (which is the issue that many people seem to complain about).

    I thought the new mode will be like:
    - 3 decks 1 ban BO 3 match ladder (you prepare 3 decks and look for an opponent to play BO 3 for rank increase, with 1deck banned by opponent)
    - or alternatively a 3 round 1 deck knockout tournament for 8 players (you choose 1 deck and get into 1 to 3 matches against other 8 players for rank increase)

    I am disappointed that the new mode seem to bring even BIGGER deck bias and luck impact.

    posted a message on Rough Outline of Coming Balance Changes - Including Sac Pact, Albatross & Kael'thas

    I think the power of Bad Luck Albatross is best to calculate in control vs control matchup.
    When you play value+board control game forcing opponent to draw 2 useless cards instead of anything that can impact the board can be deadly.
    In a long 15+ turn games, tempo considering I think this way:
    - 3 mana 4/3 battlecry: opponent shuffles 2 cards from his hand into his deck
    - 3 mana 4/3 battlecry: polymorph a random enemy minion 
    - 3 mana 4/3 battlecry: put the counterspell secret into the battlefield

    It feels like polymorph or counterspell implicitly
    - a card and mana is considered waster if a minion is polyed or spell is countered
    - a card and mana can be considered wasted if you have 10 mana but won't use it because instead of big minions or impactfull spells you have 1/1 and other cards that do not fit the board state

    Vs aggro not sure. Sometimes you delay a deadly cards forcing a 1/1 draw and 4/3 is not such a bad body. Sometimes that 1/1 token perfectly fills mana curve and delivers the last hit to you.

    So question of tempo+power is to the control vs control matchup.

    And 6 month later Blizzard will "consider balance issues" and nerf all cards that return a minion back to your hand.

    The only thing Pirate Warrior was lacking in Wild format (except consistency, which is actually the feature of HS) was Draw.

    Don't want to be pessimistic for Wild but it feels like its time for some Acidic Swamp Ooze. Again.

    posted a message on New Warlock Card Revealed - Dark Pharaoh Tekahn

    This card design feels like exclusively for frustration:

    - yeah ofc, I have it on T5 and now it's such an easy win - even a bit sorry for opponent
    - damn I didn't get this for 10 turns, enemy got the board - easy lose
    - mirror: so he has it and I don't - easy lose
    - vs aggro: I can have 4/4 lackeys now, but my face has gone... wish I didn't have to put this imbalanced card in my deck to win, but could play with just another solid tempo card..
