The casting was a bit biased towards Gaby, IMO, perhaps Blizzard marketing department have picked their next "star"? Shame he misplayed horribly against Levik and then threw a tantrum. ROFL
Bit left field, but I am going for Zachtronics. If you like puzzle games, Opus Magnum is a classic. If you enjoy coding, Exapunks is great, and TIS-100 is pretty hardcore (assembly language coding).
Mr. Smite is one for the worst design decisions the devs ever made, not least because it came after they explicitly classified the "charge" mechanic as "being bad for the game". Imagine sending Leeroy Jenkins to the Hall of Fame, and then printing this?!
The test is, are there several current control decks that can deal with it? The combination of loads of discover, loads of draw, and loads of deathrattle (making boards hard to clear) feels very oppressive to me.
Fun, but almost unplayable in the current meta IMO. The deck has lots of removal, but current aggro decks have more draw / discover than the deck can handle.
Another turning point was moving from Twitch (tens of thousands of viewers) to YouTube (f*ck all). Blizzard got paid in the short term but, IMO, they lost a huge amount of interest in HS as a "eSport".
People talk about Mr Smite, which was obviously a garbage design decision. The devs literally justified getting rid of Leeroy by saying charge was unhealthy for the game, then they printed Smite...
But, in my opinion, the game really went downhill when created cards became a thing. Why? Because you can no longer play around your opponents hand, which was the main area for skill expression in Hearthstone. Take that away and the game just becomes an RNG fiesta.

Good value (very cheap), and always has the potential to steal something that really messes them up. Playable.

Holy crap, Gaby is cringe. Press-ups between turns?! WTF?!

Mech Mage, almost impossible to control it. Endless draw and discover. Never runs out of resources and deathrattles make it extremely hard to clear.

12 mana, 2 card combo should be insane though, right? 12 mana is a lot.

Hope everyone is wrong, as a player that primarily enjoys control decks. :/
That said, the return of Reno / Zola is a very powerful boost to control, unless aggro is totally overwhelming (which it might well be).

A lot of unplayable cards IMO, but probably worth buying with Gold and dusting.

People are undervaluing this card. It will see huge amounts of play because it is a Neutral card and it is so flexible.
