    It seems like it would be applied twice, not all at once.

    Rogue weapon + two deadly poison + leeching poison + rogue hero + doomerang + doomerang = 4 overpowered weapons running through your deck.

    I know this is a lot of cards and you do not need all of them but I think this might be the next Brocken meta deck.

     I think it would be legit in a miracle style deck. Cycle through your deck for the cheap weapon buff spells & just start pounding away at the opponent's face while you build up towards a double proc Eviscerate with Valeera and/or spammable Arcane Giants.

    I think it is awesome to have cool characters of both genders so this is something I also approve of.

    If you wanna have fun and not grind, drop 50$ per month on this game. It’s worth it. The grind make you hate the game. 

     The toxic community/horrible grind is evidence of how well designed the game is.../sarcasm.

    EDIT: A better suggestion for new players is to join Eternal, which is better in pretty much every way than Hearthstone.
    I've yet to see any online game not have a toxic element to it (in terms of player community). If you look you'll find it in any online multiplayer game.
    And you should not be expecting a card game to not be grindy. Real physical card games have you 'grind' via blind pack purchasing, unless you skip the grind by paying anywhere from $10 to hundreds of dollars for a rare card. 
    Both of the complaints you try to pin on only being a part of HS exists in most other online and/or card games. Your points are moot.

    Don’t listen to people and buy classic packs. Focus on the decks you want. Most classic cards are unplayed and they get weaker every set.

    Not to mention that the original statement by Team 5 concerning cards in classic set remaining untouched for standard format ended up getting revised and is now false (considering that Syl & Rag were already moved out of the 'untouchable set', as well as most likely Ice Block and possibly others). As a result of this I am unsure how much of a good idea it is to tell players to invest in this set if they are going to play in standard. It seems like the more players complain about a card from classic then the more likely it ends up possibly getting voted out of standard. For a new player who might have crafted those cards I think that would really hinder them after wasting dust on the cards. We don't know which other classic card will get 'voted off the island', so to speak.
    The only way for a Classic card to get taken out of standard is through the Hall of Fame. If you crafted it, you will get a chance to get the full dust cost back.  I think last time they gave you the dust and let you keep the cards for Wild.
    I am a firm believer in telling new players to buy classic cards at first. The reason is that they will have these cards forever, or get the dust value back. At some point its a good idea to go away from getting Classic cards, especially since each week you get a Classic pack from the Tavern Brawl most of the time. When they have gotten about 65%-75% of them is about the right time, and then you can craft what you want. If they are not buying Classic packs, then focus in on the current years set.
    At this point I am also advising new players not to craft anything from Old Gods or Gadgetzan. They likely dont have the rest of the cards needed to really make use of any of them, and by the time they do, they will rotate out. Since most of the time they have small card collections, Wild isnt viable.
    You do get the dust back for that card, but if you're playing a deck that is centered on the win condition of a card that was HoFed then if you crafted any support cards (rares, epics, or even other legendaries) you will not get refunded for any additional crafts needed to support the card that suddenly gets taken out of the format. 
    An example, which is mostly hypothetical (except for the near almost guaranteed hint towards removing Ice Block) to show what I mean. Say a new player took the advice of buying a bunch of classic cards, but still lacked cards for a Freeze Mage, so they crafted Antonidas, double Ice Block, double Doomsayer, & Alexstrasza. Then say both Ice Block & Alexstrasza get Hall of Fame treatment, with no new support cards released in the most recent standard expansions. Now the new player cannot play Freeze Mage competitively anymore in standard. Sure, they get 3200 dust back (from double Ice Block & Alexstrasza), but they are still down another 3200 dust from double Doomsayer & Antonidas (which technically weren't directed affected by the recent move of Ice Block & Alexstrasza). 
    Team 5's lack of consistency for what they want the classic set to be (initially to be a completely permanent set in standard to never rotate, now a set that can have certain cards rotate if new design ideas are limited by pretty much anything in classic & is preventing them churning out a new card idea) makes me wonder if it is still a good idea to suggest new players to go all out with classic pack buying.

    Quote from Cayamc >>

    Thank you guys, you made some good point but i crafted Jaina yesterday. She looks more fun and cool to me.. but this time i'm pilling my dust for archmage. :)

    Good choice. Plus, unless you're really going to push for legend than going down the fun route isn't a bad thing because if you don't get to legend during the month choosing a strong deck that is less fun only nets you a smaller extra handful of dust (depending on where you end up on ladder).

    Quote from buffaloblack >>

    I suggest that you buy only Classic packs this early in the game. Those are cards that are both strong and permanently remaining in the standard format. This is the best choice whatever hero you prefer to play mostly as

    Edit: you can also search on this site for good "budget" decks to try out. These are cheap decks that often has potential to reach around rank 5 

    Well, until they are deemed too powerful and limiting design space & are promptly moved to the Hall of Fame (which is most likely going to happen again, as has been hinted at with Ice Block already).

    That amazing feeling you get after spending 1h making this cool arse card in hearthcards and it gets deleted in 20mins...

    yeah i know if the card is bad it doesnt get up votes but it just disappeared like dust in the wind.

     Sounds like a terrible website.

    are you serious - there is no way to win with it any other matchups

    Hey, you are the one saying there are no other options to win against quest mage. Just because the deck isn't top tier doesn't mean it still doesn't act as an effective counter.
    Top-notch high win rate or better win rate against decks you don't like. Pick one.
     I'm ready to discuss only playable decks,
    my initial statement meant to be "it is getting less and less interesting for me to play ranked"
    and i think that the problem is a huge amount of OP cards available, decks used to contain 80% of cards that suck more or less, now we've got 15+ op cards in each deck, what reduced importance of thinking in favor of good luck
    Well then expect to continue to lose many of those match-ups. Unless you're priest there is no near perfect deck to beat everything with, while maintaining a high winrate.

    People with good experience and/or good decks procrastinate sometimes, or they purposefully wait until the end because they know that more people who struggle against certain tier decks start grinding towards the end & they capitalize on that.

    Why are you desperate to play it? It's the most boring deck in the game, it makes Pirate Warriors look like Mensans.

     To each their own. Not every deck needs to be a grindy attrition-based control deck to be fun.

    No, but don't worry there still will be players who are easy wins in the upper levels since many people will be experimenting with cards/decks that are very much below optimal builds.

    I really am not seeing the promise of this card tbh. Sure, people mention all of the bad demons that could be played to bypass their detrimental effects, but look at cards like Dreadlord & Abyssal. During midrange & control match-ups are you always going to wait to have those cards randomly pulled from your hand, as opposed to dropping them at the right time for the most tempo and/or value?
