There is a huge risk to spending 10 mana on one card, so 10-mana cards should (arguably) be over-valued.

Ultimate Infestation is undeniably over valued.  It's a single 10-mana card with 19 mana worth of effects (Stranglethorn Tiger (ish) + Iron Hide + Starfire + Sprint --or-- Sprint + Shield Block + Firelands Portal (ish))

(I won't get into how it really doesn't have any practical counters.)

In any other class, this card would probably be fine.  But in a Druid deck where one can realistically play it on Turn 5, it's game-breaking.  (In mirrors, the game is often decided by who plays it first.)

That's really all there is to it.

In many cases, drawing only 3 would make Ultimate Infestation even better, because there are many times when 5 cards drawn results in a self-mill.  Drawing only 3 would make it more playable without that potential downside.

I like the idea of it costing 11 and summoning only a 4/4.  This ensures any deck running it must save The Coin or an Innervate to play it.  (The Druid player might have to actually think about if/when to use the Coin or Innervate in the early turns.)

This card would be worth it at 7 HP and/or card texts stating, "Cannot be discarded."

 I'd swear this was originally one of Kripp's decks.  I'd have to check the VODs to be certain though.

I wish we could choose which card pack to earn.

I don't mind winning common cards, so long as it's not a card I already have.  That's the real feelsbadman.

The chance at winning a free run would be welcomed.

Not exactly a "reward", but I really wish Arena victories counted towards the "3 wins for 10 gold" counter.

4.  Stop printing bullsh!t early-game cards that make it possible to draw the "nuts" and effectively win on Turn 0.

Except when you're up against the stupidly OP sh*t like Patches the Pirate or Jade Idol, this Brawl can be really fun.

I've had the most fun with Jeweled Macaw.

Though they may not make sense or be usable to the majority of Arena players, these changes should be 100% transparent.

Many decisions are made based on odds of drawing or generating an out, so it's important for those people in those instances to know these things.

If Arena is ever to be elevated above a full-on RNG clown fiesta, this is where it can start.

Wow... This come off as being so entitled. Having fun playing the game should be reward enough. However, if that isn't enough, you do get rewards. Daily. You just don't get it spoon fed to you.

Even a thrifty player averaging +60g per day (7260 per 4-month expansion cycle) is still on the hook for 18 packs ($25) if they want to play that 75% of each expansion.  Keep in mind, though, that essentially means no Arena and being stuck with whatever random cards they get from their packs with little (no) option to deviate.

I'm sure you can see where this is going.  It's not unreasonable to want (even expect) Blizzard to throw out some more freebies.

"Working properly" only means it's functioning as they've designed its; it does not indicate how they've actually designed it.

The whole point of rotating Sylvanas out is so that there is no go to 6-drop.

Stuff like a combo deck killing you from 30 on turn 15 being not okay, but a aggro deck that runs you over on turn 5 is okay. 

What's made worse is how he said removal was bad as it limited plays. So not only does Pirates only lose [card]Sir Finley Mrrgglton[/card] during the rotation thus keeping its turn 4-5 kills with a small STB nerf, but this statement means we are unlikely to get removal to combat aggro decks. 

I don't understand this part of their design philosophy.  Aggro is by far the most frustrating thing to fight against.  Combo is how skilled players win.

If they're so paranoid about combos being "unfun" to the recipient once the combo gets set up, ADD MORE CARDS that allow the other player to preemptively break the combo.  Dirty rat is a great example of a great card you made that can screw over combo decks.  Loetheb is another perfect example, when a well timed use can completely disrupt an opponent's plan.

Make more of these cards!  A card that makes an opponent discard or return cards to their deck.  A card that inhibits the ability to summon.  A card that negates battlecries.  An evil Thaurassian that increases the mana cost of cards in the opponent's hand.  More stuff like that.  Because nothing is more frustrating to a combo player than when they spend the whole game setting up their combo only for it to fall apart.

Stop driving the meta towards dumb aggro decks because your design team hates combos.  It has run the game into the dirt.

"Currently, experimentation is underway with more expensive minions that are harder to use in combos"

Like giant dinosaurs? 

Customizable tournament creator tool:

one of the cool aspects of tcgs is banlists and sealed formats, some players like firebat make some tournaments where they ban all random cards, while other players complain about legendaries so they could make their pauper or dust limited tournaments,

Options

 options would range from limiting the minimum and maximum dust needed for a deck to flatout banning cards,  or limiting the amount of particular cards per deck ie: limiting fiery war axe to 1 per deck, this could be used to really creative extents, like a tournament where decks can't have humanoids or cutthroat highlander; highlander only decks with Reno banned.

 Expansion/adventure Sealed would also be an option: Maybe someone wants a tournament  Mixing, Classic, Naxx, TGT, and MSG but doesn't want to allow cards from other expansions, or maybe someone is super nostalgic and makes a tournament with only the basic and the classic sets.

And adding some other custom and for fun optional rules like  decks being autorefill or being able to use the brawl rules of the week, or No neutral cards allowed, every type of player would get their fair share of stuff, competitive players could make tournaments without random stuff and more casual players could ban cards they consider irksome or make tavern brawl tournaments with Flamewaker banned or limited to 1 per deck.

Format:

Players would also be choose if their tournament was wild or standard format, maybe someone would like to see how the 4 drops in the wild competitive scene would be with Piloted Shredder banned.

 Mode: 

well to make things easy and smooth,  the tournaments should follow elimination rules, like the last Hearthstone world tournament,

but players would also be able to choose, between single duel elimination,  Conquest match   or Last man standing type of tournament, the later two, with 3 to 5 different classes.

and of course the class ban pick featured in hearthstone tournaments would be an optional rule as well

Custom Saveable templates:

to avoid having to set-up all the things when creating your tournament, players could create their own tournament template which they could quickly access in the  tournament creator tool.

Pre-made templates:

The tournament tool would also have some pre-made templates readily avaliable for players wanting to set-up a quick tournament:

Cutthroat Highlander: highlander only decks with Reno banned.

Pauper: Only basics, commons and rares allowed.

Hearthstone 3k: Decks can't surpass the 3000 dust cost

Couch Potato: No adventure cards allowed.

Treasure Trove: Only Rares, Epics and Legendaries allowed.

Twin blades: All cards in the deck must be duplicates.

Tricadecaphobia: you make a deck of 17 cards and the last 13 will be auto-refill based in your collection and the tournament rules.

 Modifiable  entry Fee:

the player creating a tournament would also have the possibility to add a gold fee to enter his tournament and the gold invested by players would go to a prize pool that would be earned by the first three places,however leaving the option to not set a fee in case he just wants to play a casual tournament with friends after all a 0 entry fee would mean a 0 gold earning,

Security: 

As for security players would be able to make tournaments public avaliable(anyone can enter), invitation only (only players he invited to the tournament may join and he'd be able to give  the tournament participants permission to invite other players, players can only invite players who have been in their friend lists for at least 3 weeks to avoid rookie abusing), or Password restricted.

Abuse avoiding:

To avoid possible abuses, players who want to join a tournament or are invited to one would be able to see a tooltip of the tournament with all the rules stabilished by that particular tournament plus the entry fee and would get to decide between joining the tournament or politely declining the invitation.

In addition Players who entered a tournament with an entry fee higher than 20 gold would not be able to be spectated during any match of that particular tournament.

Extra options: In the hearthstone's options menu you can toggle the option to not be able to be challenged by friends, there would also be a toggle option that either auto-decline tournament invitations or flat out didn't let other players invite you to tournaments , 

The tournament invitation blocking tool could also have adjustable range: ie: auto-decline invitations to tournaments with entry fees that are higher/lower than X gold.

after all some players may just be looking for a quick game during a work break or may not like tournaments.
