 Yeah, I haven't seen them in a while... my "wild" guess is they couldn't get a solid statistic for them so they took it out.

well he's 12-2 and title is "easy rank 5" ... until rank 5 you face some incomplete decks, i did a budget shaman and went 17-1 ... anything is fine to reach 5... after that is the real deal.

I think Kangor is the main thing here, if you replace it your deck will be way weaker so maybe something heavy instead

I don't have a Crystallizer and missing one Void Ripper, do you think I can replace them with something else? A Vilespine Slayer and huh... Valeera the Hollow perhaps?

I guess the cards revealed today completley screw the toughts of the guy who started this topic :)

We have anti-combo and anti-control cards realeased now more than ever....!!!

 Huh I woiuldn't say it screwed the thoughts but sure messing up those combo you can see your death within the next turn or few turns up ahead... hopefully we see more

omg people always complain go to salty tread

 It was a question and some people enlightened me with some nice decks and possibilities inputs, your reply is the salty thing around here.

Uncreative is the wrong word.Rise of Shadows isn't uncreative or lazy or a rehash. Twinspell, Lackeys, and schemes are new.

But something is missing to make people feel this way.

And that is the WOW factor. Shine. Pizazz. ROS  does notnany thing that compares to Old gods or Legendary Quests of other opener expansions.

Rise of Shadows lacks a new array of new build around decks.

 Yeah, felt this way too... I like Hearthstone and I will continue playing it, but we can't help compare to older expansions with meta changers or cards that blow our minds.

 I can't even with this thread.  Either people don't read, or don't search the forums.  There are threads ad nauseum on this sentiment that are already started and in full swing.  It's to the point now where it feels like a "look at me/please talk to me" thing when another one pops up.

My dude.  Find one of the existing malcontent threads.  Post in it.  Revel in your fellow naysayers opinions about the game.  Opine about the old days.  Talk about how Ben leaving was HS's downfall.  Do whatever.  Just... for the love of Yogg... please stop with this cluttered up bullshit slew of posts that all say the same thing/express the same sentiment.

 I just brought one simple question about the new expansion, you got that butthurt because your beloved forum got 1 more thread? I am probably not much of a gamer like you who seem like a forum administrator knowing all the threads and what is repetitive or not. I was going to elaborate more about how stupid and ignorant you are, but just looking at your profile picture, it speaks for itself. 

It was just a simple question, few gave a nice input like possibilities for new metas and debatable new mechanic or just value gimmick... others' saying I'm salty, etc, probably need to improve their read comprehension.

half of the meta archetypedecks won't work from 2 weeks to go simply because of rotation but okay....

 Prety much hit the nail on the head for standard. Goodby deathrattle hunter as the egg rotates as does Katrina and the cube. Goodby odd/even decks. Goodby DK's and spellstones, etc, etc, etc. The rotation will shake the meta to death.

 Yeah, I mean DK was such a big deal, and I don't see so far an exciting new mechanics to top DKs rotation, but just some other nice guys said, maybe too early, I hope we have some more stuff not just some lackey plays.

Is it just me or the new expansion is just making cards to redress, keep the current decks/meta alive and not really great possibilities of a new meta, deck creation and creativity?

... interesting!

I might try this because I'm having so many losses with this deck lol...

Good point! At first I thought the Hero Power was not that great, but then I realized the battlecry was strong enough and what you said is very true. Strong, but simple cards like these might bring the meta diversity back

You know why games are so cool? They bring everybody together, rich and poor people, just like sports... People like you with hate and contempt don't add anything to this community (even if it's a online game community).
