They work exactly like cosmetics, except they drop in packs. In other words, you might expect to get a legendary or epic only for it to come as a signature version (that can't be disenchanted). Talk about greed.
I also think the card is not unhealthy, and in order for it to exceed it needs (most of the time) good hand reading, so it's fun.
For me the problem really is its cost. I think being that easy to steal a win condition should cost more than 4 mana, especially with Brann or Macaw for a total of 7 mana.
Imo Duels is a better arena format. It's free, very RNG based (which is fun for streaming), and has a more healthy meta than constructed, as far as i can see.
But it's not much fun for new players because you need a good collection in order to be competitive.
The thing is, Arena is an ancient being, so you might find people streaming them because that's their content (e.g. RedBeard). And constructed and BGs will always be popular. So Duels ends up sitting in that niche spot.
I love seeing what HearthPwn and other websites are doing to promote the format. I really think this is the better way to engage new players to play Duels. And as you can see, people care this much about Duels. Why wouldn't, in your opinion?

For me the 3d model skin is okay. The problem is that it looks too modern when comparing to the rest of the cartoon-ish UI.

Day 5 locked out of Duels, and counting.
What a great Duels update followed by a insignificant Duels hotfix!

Same here and to a lot of players on the forums. Unable to play duels.
Imagine this happening to streamers that rely on duels, an unwanted day off. Let's see how long they take to fix this, it's been 5 hours now.

If that's the case, then Coldarra Drake meta.

But for real, that passive trasure Heavy Armor + Awaken the Makers ...
