Hearthpwn

I really want face warrior to work so I hope Sigma is wrong on the cursed blade. I don't have the card yet, but I've been theory crafting ways to use Mortal Strike and charging molten giants to take advantage of the health loss and close games out as a surprise.

I've only had one player add me after a match to insult me, after I deleted him he tries adding me again. I really don't know what goes through some people's minds when they decide this is acceptable or a good idea.

It's too bad that it hurts a wider community that could spring up around the game. I'm still disappointed that a recent opponent didn't accept my friend request after we played an epic bolster warrior vs aggro mech warrior match. I just wanted to compliment him on the match and talk about being what seemed like the only 2 people on latter not playing control warrior at the time. I'm sure he thought I was going to BM him since he narrowly won on a top deck; I thought it was awesome.

I don't dust anything unless I have 2 copies of it already, since I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to the collection. This goes for legendaries as well, the one I dusted (Millhouse) I managed to get another one of. I might dust some unplayed legendaries if there was something I really wanted but no reason to go down that route now.

I dust Goldens when I no longer need them for my collection with a few exceptions. I love Mage so will probably keep my golden Mana wyrm and other cards I really like. I've kept my golden Grommash but dusted my golden Iron Juggernaut for obvious reasons relating to playability. The jury is still out on golden Leeroy but it's likely that he becomes dust shortly as well.

I think a better way to handle things is implement some sort of anti-armor tech card. Make it expensive enough that face decks won't want to play it, but powerful enough that priests/freeze mages can tech it in if they end up facing a ton of warriors. Having some big legendary minion that destroys armor won't see very much play, but when it does it wil feel good to see an annoying fatigue deck crushed while not buffing annoying face decks at the same time.

I play it in a dragon shaman when I realized that I was running 15 minions with battlecry (everything except Zombie Chow, Totem Golem and Ysera, I've debated swapping totem golem for flame juggler as well). I've had some moderate success with it, dragon shaman is not a tier one deck but I've bee  winning more than I lose. It has pseudo taunt, enemies often run 2 or 3 minions into it to kill it as soon as they can. If you get lucky on where it hits you just win games. 

I like the card. It has an interesting effect. It's strong enough to be considered but not clear power creep. It also encourages new deck archetypes which is the number one thing I like in cards.

I'd say don't dust it. I've played around with it enough to know that there's potential there, even if it can be tough to make it work right now. 

Whenever you're not fighting for your life for board control and can afford one slow turn, he's  a great play. He shines against decks like control warrior or dragon priest, and knowing every minion from there on out will out value your opponent's starts to add up. I can think of a couple games I had where continually being able to play big minions just wore the opponent down and I wouldn't have won without him.

Shaman needs a way to compete for early board control with paladin and zoolock. If it gets that, I can see Mistcaller being more viable

I wouldn't say I complain about netdecking, I do it too when I want to play a determined archetype without having to think about the build, but to answer the OPs question I think the game would be better off if  more players wanted to play something unique rather than just what is on the first page of hearthpwn. In that sense it's personal preference more than anything; I have more fun when winning with a deck I have built, and enjoy playing opponents when I don't know everything to expect by turn 3 (or the character introduction for certain classes).

I just reached rank 5 playing my own versions of flood paladin, Echo Tempo Mage, Beast Druid, Dragon Shaman and Bolster/Patron Warrior post nerf. The best game I played all month was my bolster warrior vs an aggro warrior; I guarantee you it was more fun to play and watch than a control warrior mirror. While I understand why it happens, that's why people might complain about netdecking.
