BGH's value isn't from hard removal. It's from tempo. Playing this on turn 6 and having it BGH would very easily cause an irrecoverable tempo swing. In HS, tempo is everything.

Silent buff to Earth Shock

It's versatile. It's obviously not going to be as good as playing a regular minion on curve-- and why should it be that good and versatile?

It's versatile. All of the other cards you mention do not change in both cost and damage. Mage has always had expensive but powerful spells. This is a major upgrade, because instead of just adding more powerful spells, they are getting what they didn't have before, versatility. It's a buff (having access to versatile cards, instead of more of the same).

All aboard the hype train, choo choo.

Probably to allow light bomb to take out hard-to reach targets. Maybe some situations arise with cabal being able to turn something with 2 HP left into a 2/* and then steal that (could be anything since all minions can take damage and be reduced to 1 or 2 HP). Finally it also allows Shadoword death to take out anything with over 5 HP, such as Ysera, a non-enraged Gromsh, etc.

It seems really OP when combined with a "Pleasant Feast of Winterveil". For some reason it makes my opponent lose without even doing damage.

Well i'm a priest player and let me say that this is actually a fun deck but as other says,it loses to a lot of deck out there. I appreciate what Blizzard is trying to do fpr the priest,but that things just not solve the problems of this class. Basically any COMBO deck will beat you,because you can do nothing to prevent damage that come directly from the hand of the opponent,and you need time to close a game,so they have all the time to gather their combo pieces and destroy you. And yes,like always,you lose to jaraxxus,because you cannot deal with the hero power and you don't have the burst to close the game.Yes,with this deck you can beat a warrior,because you can easily outvalue him,but the warrior still the king of control,because the armor mechanic negate all that one turn kill deck to work,counter the freeze mage,etc This deck is very good against zoo decks and other slower deck,but that's all. The winrate is not true.

Is this card considered trash tier in constructed or something? Or does nobody craft it so nobody knows that it is better than counter spell ?

The last few have gone live in the middle of the day, usually within an hour or so of noon EST. During the first expansion or two there were huge problems with people attempting to open huge caches of packs all at once, causing servers to bog down or crash. By moving the release time to mid-day, some of that pressure was alleviated naturally (many people are stuck at work and can't just sit around opening packs, all at the exact same time). At least that's the explanation I recall hearing at the time, and it does make quite a bit of sense.

They put Zero effort into this class. It pisses me off every set that comes out how little thought they put into the Rogue class. It has been the same deck with the same cards for forever. Its the class that almost never changes. YOu cant make a competative deck with the shit they keep releasing. They keep having to use the same good cards every single expansion. 2xEvicerate, 2sap, 2fan, 2prep, 2backstab, 1edwin, so tired of seeing  the same deck every single set.

Literally every single one of the Hunter cards in un'goro is either amazing or ok. MOst of them are damn near OP. But they didnt get shit last set so I get it. WTF happened to the 3rd Jade card for Rogue? Did they forget about it? Why does Jade lighting deal 4 damage and zero drawback but Jade Shuriken HAVE TO COMBO? They put so much thought into other classes it makes me sick. Mage is awesome every set. Druid is always playable. Warlock always gets good usable cards. shamen was shit for a while but have been good for so long and with elementals you have an entire new direction to go with the class. but what does Rogue have? stealth? stealing random cards? Give me a fucking break man. A nutless monkey could do better.

I had high hopes that a new type of rogue deck would be playable but I just dont see anything coming out of this set that will change the way rogue has always been played. Its boring and we're tired of it.

It's going to end up much weaker than Van Cleef.  Van Cleef had value even played as a 4/4.  This needs big setup, and will not be very big in the end.

Trash weapon for a trash archetype.

I pray every Day that Pirate Warrior, the most cancerous Deck in Card Game Hinstory, "rotates out" with ungoro cause of all these taunts.

swap leeroys stats and give it taunt not that good imo

I"m convinced the only reason blizzard continues to release new expansions is to make taunt warrior viable

Everyone keeps saying flamestrike and such, if he's alone on the field (him and the 2 wolves) and opponent uses flamestrike its still a 1-1 trade. 

Never skip leg day.

How to beat decorating stormwind? It works with almost everything. First game I dealt 100 damage with aggro hunter with scavenging hyenas and next 2 games I just used a deck full of cheap shaman cards for play 50 shaman cards quest and I always somehow dealt 30 dmg to the boss before dying. So easy.

So it can work with almost anything and it's good brawl to do quests without fighting real opponent. You can probably win with almost any deck, but this deck could be good if you try to be fast.
