But Zilliax Is not problem only in control decks, He Is best card in aggro As well. One card fitting anywhere And even being best card in those decks Is not healthy.
Zilliax isn't one card, though, he's several. The only thing the two cards that go in aggro and control decks have in common is their name and tribal tag.

You are long enough here to know where the salt thread is.

There is zero chance Blizz lets you put cards in your deck you don't own from a new expansion.
If anything this is a sneaky incentive for players to try and own more cards from the expansion, because a class you might otherwise ignore, might suddenly be linked to a class you love, making you buy packs or craft cards for that class cause you "need" them.

If I had a nickel for every time Blazing Transmutation has had a major bug, I'd have four nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened 4 times.

Highlander cards are overtuned because they have a substantial deckbuilding restriction. Singleton decks are far less consistent. Problems arise when…
1) any deck can play a Highlander card due to excessive stalling or lots of card draw. This allows people to ignore the deckbuilding restriction while gaining access to a powerful card. It also reduces your opponents ability to anticipate a Highlander effect.
2) the counterplay to Highlander decks (shuffling stuff into their deck) is strong enough (or doesn’t have its own counterplay) to turn off Highlander cards with minimal effort. Old examples would be Bomb Warrior or Rogues ambush cards. Both of these can be “fixed” by the Highlander player by drawing cards, delaying the game plan while allowing the opponent to get further ahead. Steam cleaner is a decent tech card in situations like this. DK plagues are a much more egregious offender, as their perpetuality mean that there aren’t anyways on standard to reenable Highlander.
The change chooses to remove counterplay that was oppressive and prevented, rather than discouraged/slowed down, Highlander decks gameplans. While at the same time telling things like Wheellock that, if you want a powerful boardclear in Reno, you need to pay the same cost everyone else does.
not the most elegant solution, but I’m glad that I can play Highlander Paladin again without feeling like I autolose against every DK.
Edit: But yes, I feel that the most recent round of Highlander cards (with the exception of Reno Hero) really needed a boost given the presence of DK plagues, and this seems like an effective solution

People in this thread keep talking about a "counter" to highlander. Highlander (for most classes) isn't a win condition, and even for warrior and druid (where it can be argued that it is) it's very much a control-value oriented win condition.
Reno is an 8 mana board swing/tempo swing card. It's an excellent (probably OP) card and would almost certainly be run in all decks. But it isn't. You know why? Running a highlander deck is a drawback. You lose consistency and you (in theory) only have one of each of your powerful class cards. You end up with much poorer synergy in your deck as a result. Without a highlander pay-off, no one would ever consider running decks with only one of each card.
Imo they dont need an "in-game" counter - they already have a downside due to the inherant limitations of deck design.
p.s. I still think they shouldn't have printed Bran as he is though, but that's a Bran problem, not a highlander problem imo.
p.p.s I also think highlander should be a start of game effect so that a) it cant be countered, b) classes with good draw and tutoring don't get the best of both (as is currently one of the problems with DH).

This warrior nerf is so stupid. I thought they'll half the attack gain from armor, but it's just silly.
Also giving paladin a windfury is a nonsense which should never happen again.

Totally agree, but at least the Shaman deck in this week's Brawl has a Jepetto.

It only took them 10 years to add (Once per game) battlecry effect. Harth Stonebrew battlecry pretty much confirms to me that Rogue's Shadowstep will never ever leave the core set. Leeroy is back in the standard core set so you know what that means, Rogues decks will definitely try to fit in Shadowstep x2 + Leeroy from the start of the year until either Leeory gets nerfed or the year ends and Leeroy rotates out.
Anyways, enough rant about Shadowstep. I am not really a fan of either Harth nor the gifts and I kinda wish what they do was more on the quirky side than viability.

Not a big fan of Paladin getting a windfury buff.

When I didn't find the auto-complete button, I opened constructed, picked game mode and clicked on unfinished deck. Got question "Do you want to finish it automatically" - Done!

I have another issue. I cannot separate two copies of the same card into Main and Sideboard. After I tried to add a second copy to Sideboard, the first one goes to Sideboard too. Also, I tried to import Hearthstone Deck Code and got the same problem - 29/30 Cards, 4/3 Sideboard Cards.

I have a temporal solution for this. Right click on "Save deck" button -> Inspect (highlighted on the ss). Then double-click on class="button ... disabled" and delete it (highlighted on the ss). You get a plain clickable link to continue saving your deck.

Transform reserved for dr. Because remove a minion is better than leave 1/1 or 0/1 minion. Zeph doesn't know anything about synergies.
If you need to transform a small minion, guide Zeph for Shadow Madness

HS is a child game 6+ or 7+. Children love magic and wizards. Mage will always be the most popular class. Rogue will go second for the similar reason.

Or just bump to 2 mana, rename to Yogg trap and give it to hunter. In return give paladin mini snake trap "oh my dude" summon 2 dudes when a minion attacked

1) 4 mana + coin won't upgrade spells
2) if your deck is not empty the portal still will summon imps

Yes. But it should be exactly the piece you didn't cast yet.

Its for new Core set. They will available next week with the Barrens
