Take a few cards from GVG and TGT while you're waiting and if you are confronting a lot of aggro decks and you aren't one yourself craft Antique Healbot ASAP.
I like the change to tiers makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the update! Will definitely come in handy.
A suggestion, perhaps the final tier should be split in 2. Like uncompetitive and trash tiers. For example Millhouse Manastorm no matter what meta will be crappy but cards like Cairne Bloodhoof or Sneed's Old Shredder can be useful in other metas and so the distinction could help people by saying basically that some cards are just absolute crap and unplayable period so just collect the dust while some others like the ones I mentioned are potentially useful in another meta and so if you want to keep all good legendaries just in case of a future meta where they're good then keep them.
Definition of Free to Play - To be able to get anything from the game for free
Definition of Pay to win - Content has been cut off from you making it impossible to play competitively without it.
Hearthstone has yet to stray into the second category. Does not mean that it won't be harder and harder to play it for free and keep up to date but it still is F2P.
A key to help you with this(and trust me the temptation is real to not do this) is keep to the same deck. If you tilt and try many different types of decks you will not be as familiar with it and you will lose more. If you can keep with the same deck great. If you have like a 45-50% winrate deck keep that deck it is good. For me its Midrange Hunter but for you it might be something else. Also do minor tweaks to help you against bad match ups while also not compromising your good match ups.
I don't know about any of you but I trust the overall opinion of streamers over the thoughts of one streamer. The fact that Strifecro came up with a different opinion then Lifecoach and so did Reynad gives me hope for the expansion. I think this might just be the best one we've had so far.
I would like to see this video of Lifecoach TGT analysis would be interesting to watch. Overall I think the reason the streamers are being somewhat harder on the expansion than I probably would be in their shoes is this expansion seems to be built on giving out a lot of techs against certain types of decks or is built to help improve or build a new archetype for the classes.
I tend to be more hopeful new decks types will arise from this expansion but I can understand the streamers doubting a new archetype will arise from it as I doubt it myself. Still there are some really good cards from this expansion and as someone who has so many issues with Ragnaros the Firelord hitting the wrong targets(he really loves Silverhand Recruits for some reason) I intend to try out Icehowl in my Control Warrior to see if he can work in it.
Change Warsong Commander back to give played minions charge instead of the current summon minions get charge. Solves most of the problems. Though to be honest that still leaves Frothing Berserker around to eventually be overpowered in some other deck that comes along in the future. So perhaps nerf both cards for safe measures.
If this type of thing happened where you could silence weapons we could have some cool Gorehowl interactions. They silence it and it only has one charge left. However it has a downside in that it once again has 7 attack. If you're the player who plays the silence on the weapon the attack doesn't regenerate(kinda like how your silence, silences the damage dealt to the minion but your silence on your minion just silences it and does nothing for the damage that has been dealt to it).
I faced a mage once when I was Face Hunter. I got him down to 1 health and had about 4 minions. I then dropped a Leper Gnome to seal the deal on the game. On his turn, He dropped a secret which was obviously Iceblock and a [card]Flamwaker[card] and began throwing spells to clear my board. and killed the Leper Gnome thus killing himself.
He immediately friend requested me and despite knowing that it was one of those bad people I accepted. I said GG to which he responded. I had an Iceblock if it could have triggered I would have won so GG game mechanics.
Don't pay these sh*theads any attention. You meet them every so often but for every one of them you get some really awesome people.

Start with Classic and go from there.
Take a few cards from GVG and TGT while you're waiting and if you are confronting a lot of aggro decks and you aren't one yourself craft Antique Healbot ASAP.

Without a doubt Sapling from Living Roots. So glad I got a golden of the card. Now all I need is one more golden version of it.

I don't mind constructed only having 30 cards. Maybe a new mode with more than 30 cards? I could dig that.

If you want to play decks that require Malygos then craft him. Pretty straight forward I think.
