    ok, for example

    1) you are playing against razakus, he played raza and hero, now each turn can be last for you depending on his hand, not on your skill -  there is very little you can do about it, you can try drop a rat to destroy his Prophet Velen or if you a mage you can try some secrets, but otherwise there is no way to defend yourself, because any next turn he may play his combo hpProphet VelenhpHoly SmitehpMind BlasthpThe Coinhp = 2+4+4+4+10+4+4 = 32 

    2) exodia mage - lol he even don't care what is you class or deck, he is digging his deck for a combo, again only rat or some secret may be a smart way to deal with it

    Life grip can also counter Exodia Mage.
    Mill Rogue also works wonders against both of the decks you describe if they haven't drawn into all of their key cards yet.

    Everyone just says "confirmation bias" to these threads - as if you already thought this and then looked for proof of it.

    If you actually do get a significantly greater percentage of one card out of the eight, it's a fair question. I have often wondered how the "random" of game RNG is coded - we already know that there is weighted random on Discover cards, and when opening packs it can make sure you don't get repeat legendaries. . . why couldn't they also do something similar to specific cards? I'm not saying they do or don't, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

    Fair point, but there is at least some logic behind weighted rng in the coding of some discover effects (thought certainly not all of them it could seem). Some of the weighted rng behind discovers is that it favors class cards more often when possible so that it is slightly easier for the opponent to attempt to play around what the class has available to them within the range of whatever discover effects we're talking about, and it increases the chance of a class at least pulling off a win using cards they would be more likely to have (class cards) instead of ones that don't fit the theme of the class as often (many neutral cards).
    In the case of LK what would the weighted rng coding for the DK cards supposed to be accomplishing? If there was weighted rng to it I see no obvious reasoning behind certain cards being handed out more than others (some cards are better for some decks, while the opposite is true for another deck).

    Counter-argument; some decks (even as far back as vanilla HS) still had rng at the core of their design, and there were OP cards since Vanilla and before WotOGs released.

    Zoolock, handlock, face hunter, & mechmage depended loosely on draw & curve rng. Did they draw low/ mid-cost minions when they needed it early on, did they draw into giants/drake by turn 3/4, etc.

    OP cards/plays have existed for awhile. Pyro & Equality? 4 mana for a full board clear when things like Twisting Nether costs twice as much mana. If you don't draw Pyro you can still find an out by turn 6 with Equality & Consecrate.

    Confirmation bias. What would be the point in Brode fixing the rng of just this card, for giving players one particular DK card?

    Not sure. Right now I am making an assumption that by "enchantments" it means spell buffs. However, I could be wrong, just like others were about 'enchantment keeping' effect being a part of the weapon's deathrattle.

    I agree that they poorly worded the text & should not have placed into the deathrattle text. However, it has already been confirmed that the enchantments aren't erased so any further spreading of it not working is either honest misinformation or purposeful trolling.

    Please stop posting misinformation about Doomerang not working with this card.

    Yes, the text is poorly organized (which is why many thought that the 'Keeping enchantments' part of the weapon was actually part of the deathrattle (it is actually seperate)). Whalin already confirmed that the interaction works & doesn't erase enchantments.

    Upvote this so we can reduce the amount of posts saying that Doomerang doesn't interact well with Kingsbane.

    But Doomerang doesn't destroy your weapon. RTFC, guys.

    It doesn't matter if the weapon is returned to the hand. The quote talks about the part about Kingsbane keeping the enchantments as not being part of the deathrattle effect (even though where the text places that part it would have suggested that), so by using Doomerang you whack something with Kingsbane (proccing the effects), you return KIngsbane to your hand, and you can play it again with the same enchantments it had before being returned to your hand.
    In other words, Doomerang can remove a minion with Kingsbane without erasing Kingsbane's enchantments.

    If they don't draw well (i.e. Barnes on 4, followed by repeated rezes) then usually you're either trying to burn them down quickly (if aggro) or grinding out all of their threats until you get to fatigue. Decks like Control Warlock & DMH Warrior are two examples of decks that can grind out Big Priest.

    No. Are you saying you'd want fewer of them, or that it felt like there weren't enough?

    Quote from Jonesy978 >>

    I did. How can you resist???

    I am concerned that Priests are going to become unstoppable (and I don't like playing that class), but the other cards are still really fun.  If nothing else, I hope casual is a good experience, even if the ladder becomes insufferable. 

    At least priest will have some vital cards rotating out next year (namely Raza & Kazakus) so we might end up seeing a lot more of the K&C cards finding their way into the meta at that point (if the worst does happen & we don't see many of them initially upon release). 
    OP, there should really be an option in the poll for "Not going to preorder" for us f2p players.

    Hmm interesting. I wonder how this was not caught when designing the brawl. Then again we have plenty of bugs associated with most death rattle minions so...

    Firebat was using a version with Charged Devilsaur to repeatedly rez it & combine 5-7 attack face damage repeatedly with Mind Blasts as extra finisher fuel if needed.

    They're gonna rotate after this upcoming expansion so they're just biding their time. I can't blame them really. I'm sure there are a lot of things to worry about within the game besides two specific cards.

     This is dangerous thinking. The game can't last if it has to endure metas like this for over 1/3rd of the year. Not that this current meta is even bad, it's just that they need constant change in order to keep up player engagement. 
    I think you underestimate card games. In Yu-Gi-Oh we endured some variation of Chaos Control for well over a year straight, and the game didn't fall apart. I doubt HS would fall apart IF Priest & Druid persisted for a little longer until rotating..

    So you'd rather permanently nerf 2+ seperate archtypes for good rather than wait a few months until it rotates?
