If priest or my favorite class shaman gets a good draw engine, I think they would be too strong. Both shaman and priest have a lot of good cards to answer back already (Silence, board control, cheap removals, etc.)

Looking at that issue. Maybe if only the game were less fast and swinging than before, I don't think card draw would be too much of a problem. Though that's just what I'm feeling. So in the future, perhaps we might get a card draw when the game becomes super fast (And that might change blizzard's class identity rules.)

Lightning Bloom is created already, so how would they nerf this one around? More overload, or delete the card?

I personally like midrange vs midrange over other mirror matchups. The aggro can be nice too, but it can be completely decision based on their hand and card draw. For control mirror matchup, it feels the game will decide which one of us wants to win at the end (that's just my feeling.)

Both mirror matchups can be nice when the game give us a chance to have fun together, but I prefer midrange over them all. Probably because I like medium-paced game over the other ones.

She's actually pretty good in my Odd Shaman... so... I like her alot.

Goal of this deck:  Spam magic totems, control early and midgame, and you have two choices:

1. Burst damage on your opponent face with Lady Vashj, most of your spells deal lethal damage and cheap, so you should able to have three playable cards on the turn prime lady vashj played.

2. Or use this combo: Spell Totem (2 mana) -> use Ethereal Augmerchant on that totem (1 mana), Totemic Reflection (3 mana), results in spell damage +4 for 6 mana. Then play cheap spells from your hand or Lady Vashj's cost reduced spells.

Not strong deck, but its fun. Still experimenting the deck, and its lacking card draw. So I need some help to improve the deck.

Flametongue Totem

Might be a dumb aggro card, but it can be somewhat be a high skill requires by positioning with your minions. I really like this card.

Because in the past,  Blizzard gave the big treats to priest players so they can stop whining and shut up for complaining having weak priest cards. This has been a long time.

If they nerf it, priest players will start whining all over again. They just want their goddamn single class to be best of all. Man I hope these will quit the game forever.

I had one class that is the only level 60 in my account (Shaman) from Heartstone beta till now. So It's time for me to travel through all 9 classes. I'll see what the game offers all classes with new cards and new archetypes.

But If I have to play all the classes. I'll have to spend a lot of dust, to enjoy them all with a variety of archetypes. I hope for all those who are hyped will enjoy their time on expansion!

Because this is a common kind of whining priest players who want their class to be the best of all. Let these priests with bad breaths have their class reputation get worse. I don't worry as I have gotten used to it anyway.

It's also another same thing as odd paladin all over again, so give them a no-choice win and let them feel they have reached their fake legend rank in casual games. Casual should have renamed to "Unranked" for this purpose.

Formed druid cards will work in your theory, it won't be a plain 1/2 Loti anymore and can be drawn and get double health from it.

But if you want to make that deck work, it's going to be hard because Predatory Instinct is very expensive with just being a single card draw at 4 mana. Good theory though!

OP, your post is very interesting in with nice, clean, and useful information, but there are some obvious bad cards that won't see play. I'll disagree with Octosari and many neutral packfillers you mentioned. If you compare them with other cards in meta, these cards will get outperformed. I'll take Quicksand Elemental as a winner of neutral non-legendary minions you listed, it's THAT GOOD.

I don't see how anyone can complain about losing hype for the game just because some streamers were able to test out some new decks.  

Good for them.  Now you have 1 extra week to know what not to waste time trying.  

And maybe you learned something about the card interactions that will help you in your own deck.  

Saying this is ruining anything for you is like saying you have nothing better to do than sit and watch streamers.  

Go out and live your life.  There is a whole world out there to see and you waste time complaining about stuff you yourself couldn't help but get sucked into.  

Hearthstone is not a life, it's just a card game.  

Those fucking salty players won't stop blaming and their cries at all. And there is nothing wrong with watching the stream, you just take a small peek and see how goes it out well. How is this experience ruining it? Moreover, If they are ruining your surprise, then why didn't you stopped watching this? What the fuck.

Those kinds of them are fucking salty players and they will find any way to make the game look shit, at this rate when this expansion gets a lot more of hate, the next expansion will have the community flooding with tears or salts at any time. For me, it is now impossible to start caring this type of people.

I'm done with those people who are against Hearthstone, this game could have a possibility of improving all features. Yet everyone already throwing curses nonstopping toward the game and developers.

Fuck those who are worshipping the game as a main thing of their life. I'm just going to have some fun with new tools the game offers me while I can.

Meta is the core of Hearthstone as it stands currently, because it's pretty much unchangeable, it is now a standard way of playing style.

Players without having guidance, they will have frustration and can not get enough comfortable with an abnormal amount of loses/wins ratio while playing a themed or meme deck.

And with meta being around. The exploration of cards is less interesting to discover now, as the class cards are now superior than countless of weak neutral cards, neutral cards are made only for flavors nowadays sadly.

 The meta only remains unchangeable because Blizzard's refusal/reluctance to do so. Believe me, if they found the proper motivation, you'd be surprised how quick things could change. It just depends on what it will finally take for Blizzard to get off their collective asses and do something about it.

The problem for blizzard is casual players are a big chunk of their entire customer base.  If enough of them/us (I consider myself more casual as I don't rank for hours on end every day, one of the curses of having a "day job") start leaving the game, Blizzard's bottom line will start having some serious trouble

.

 It's not about casual players. It's that Blizzard who can't ignore a noob players' feeling when they complain about it. While caring about the inexperienced community, they are not trying to focus on making the game better, instead, they are feeding players' mouth with cards demanding for, like OP priest cards Duskbreaker and Psychic Scream.

Blizzard will always try and find a way to keep treating player to calm them down, but they still start losing in the direction in making the game better. Thanks to the noisy community.

The new expansion is not that bad, but I honestly believe that the old days of Hearthstone is just much better than anything. So how to fix it? Simple, follow the same method: Make less awful cards without silly flavor, and make more realistically balanced cards.

In addition, add something new too... It doesn't look easy? One keyword like Reborn should do the trick, so just stop making unplayable cards with nonsense unplayable stats because of crappy flavor.

As the meta are ongoing on some games, they are pretty fine, as long as the developers can change it to make the game not boring. While the hearthstone's meta may seem look healthy, it is completely covered up with tons of problem the game had, by the newly added powerful cards that make many cards into the trash tier. And so, the other cards will stay remain on the card designers' gallery of "I did this".

EDIT: And before anyone will say how the card game works, I know how it works. I just have a firm belief that the Heartstone could have been cooler than the classic version of it. Nope, hero cards and quests aren't enough for me.

I want to say that I completely agree with people who said about streamers that are making terrible starting days of the expansion. It has made a lot of people into becoming short-sighted gamers.

It's okay if you wanna try out their decks, but If any of you are going to rely on what only streamers on what decks they are trying, rather than playing an actual possible good decks out there... then I'm sorry, It is a true fact that those kinds of players are heavily uninspired or unmotivated to play a game or least enjoy the game, and are definitely not a type of encouraged player.

But otherwise, you are a smart player if you believed that there is a simple and straightforward way to play Heartstone, like normally, you can either a netdecking, or inventing a good deck. so you can play and enjoy a goddamn game.

I agree with you, it would make Hearthstone a healthy way when there will be a better ratio of playable card and packfillers.
