one of the worst brawls yet in my opinion.

I agree that class identity SHOULD be one of the most important things preserved in Hearthstone.  Otherwise, why have 9 classes in the first place?  Why even print cards that give classes 2 or more ways to play that class?  Like Burn/Tempo Mage or Control Mage.

Zephrys does break this idea and I don't like the card for that purpose.  But like you, I love the overall design of the card, but it does present a few problems as players find ways to put this card in decks it was never meant to be played in.

The ability for Zoo to go and grab a Savage Roar is so potentially unbalancing, it might need to discussed and find out or if it's possible to balance Zephrys somehow.

Even Control Warrior can play Zephrys easily enough.  How?  Well, they play enough 'tutor' cards and card draw that it's not that hard to meet the conditions.  Do we really want Control Warrior having access to tools they shouldn't have in a non Highlander deck?

Much like many people are going back to Classic WOW and playing with vanilla stuff, maybe we need some sort of reset for Hearthstone.  Or a new design team.  Or something to change.

Lean into the class flaws and lean into the strengths.  If Warrior is about taunt and weapons.  Then lean into it.  Give them a minion that has Taunt AND equips a weapon.  But DON'T give them minions that can kill minions with simple battlecry effects.  Being able to do 10 damage to any minion is far too powerful.  Doing 5 damage on turn 5 can clear a board of non-mechs and win the game outright.  Then you add rush to these minions and it's no longer possible to keep a board against Warrior late game.

Druid is supposed to be bad at big minion removal with spells.  They can trade minions instead, but they no longer have the ability to remove a minion with a simple spell unless it has low health.  They were also supposed to be the Ramp class.  Lean into both of these flaws and strengths.  Create more cards that ramp, even if they are conditional.  Allow Druids to cheat the curve by giving up early tempo and card quality and deck flexibility.  Where are the Ramp cards?  Where are the 10 mana minion payoffs?  You know which class should have 'OMEGA' cards?  That's right Druid.  Druid because they were supposed to ramp to 10 and therefore abuse the 10 mana Omega effects.

Rogue is weak against wide boards and aggro decks in general.  They got rid of Vanish, but kept the effect.  Vanish should have been give ALL of your minions Stealth.  That feels more Rogue like.

 I just wanted to say, I don't think I have ever agreed with something posted in this forum as much as with this. That is all.

I don`t think I have encountered meta as bad as this for a really long time... basically the only decks you encounter at rank 5+ is druid or deathrattle hunter. This is getting uplayable for me.
