It sounds like you don't like big expensive legendaries that come down late but have swing potential, complicated effects, potentially some RNG built in and synergies you can build your deck around to become win conditions.
But yeah those are the sort of cards I think are fun.
'Super boring,' to me, would be a small minion that's great value, or a card that draws cards and/or does chip face damage.
But that's Hearthstone players for you!
What Hearthstone cards do people who don't play Hearthstone enjoy?
Could be a Manchurian Candidate/Winter Soldier type situation and some sleeper agent's activation code is "I can see Starship Rogue."
Or one of those deep-cover Blizzard bots that spends 3 years establishing a forum presence by posting on the quest trading thread before posting a mixture of positive and negative criticism at a rate of around 10 posts / year.
Or maybe the dude's got both a Hearthpwn and a Reddit account (or two) and knows how to copy/paste.
Basically I want to win but I don't want to hit anyone. The first deck that got me into Hearthstone was Mill Rogue back when Brann Bronzebeard + Gang Up + Shadowstep + Coldlight Oracle was a thing, and I've been looking for variations ever since.
Shaman's my least favorite class thematically and mechanically but Asteroids are where I'm pining my hopes for this expansion. Hopefully Asteroid + Incindius can be slower, attritional cards instead of OTKs or finishers.
I stopped playing Casual because back when the Rewards Track was released (I think?) they made it so you get 1/2 as much as experience for playing casual.
I was trying to look this up recently and I couldn't find any definitive answers on whether that's still the case or not. Anyone know?
BG duos I've been having the freezing problem for months.
Game freezes up before the first minion attacks sometimes which is fine but if it happens for more than a second at any later stage of the game then it's time to quit and reload the app.
And if it happens turn 2 (where your turn is like 40 seconds) then I'm skipping that turn (and conceding and losing 40 rank as a penalty).
And if it happens later at the end of a long death rattle game or it's a trinket turn then I might be skipping that turn (and maybe not conceding because that sucks a bit for my duos partner).
And sometimes at the hero select screen I get a "Disconnected/Reconnecting" message which means that game's over and I've lost. Either I wait and after a few seconds it tells me to relaunch Hearthstone, or I instantly quit and no matter how quick I'm back in the game it won't reconnected and either way it's a recorded loss.
I don't care about rank, second one doesn't bother me, first one's a pain if the game's going well.

It's not just the Expansiveness of this deck that I love..... it's the Ceaselessness of it.

Was it unlimited or was it 7 (the number shuffled into their deck at the start of the game)?

If I was the new Bobby Kotick I'd add an "uninstall" option to the client so players who don't want to play any more could just quit.

If only there was some way to stop playing.

If you use Endgame to bring Back Sargeras don't you get a Titan with no portal that can't attack for 3 turns while he uses up his useless abilities?
I feel like they keep changing how that interaction works but maybe I'm just dumb.
Edit: Fun deck anyway. But I can't get Party Planner to trigger either.

It's because Humans and Orcs don't have any tribal synergies.
If they introduce card text that says "If you are holding an Orc..." or "give a friendly Human..." then they'll add the tribal tag.
Until then the only consequences of adding superfluous tags would be to muck up the balance of existing cards.
It'd mean, for example, you could draw Rock Master Voone, Hamm, the Hungry and Boomboss Tho'grun using All You Can Eat, then play Voone and copy the other two.
There is no 'should have a tag,' here. Cards should function the way they were designed to.
And the design was for most minions to be neutral and for all the text on a card to be significant.

Is the current BSM the same deck or is it the same archetype but with new cards like Orb?
If the new version is stronger (I have no idea) after the changes, was the archetype nerfed or buffed?
Should the goal of nerfs be make the strongest archetype in the game unplayable?
I'm not gonna play Standard until the next expansion and I have no new thoughts on this topic so I'll bow out of the BSM conversation at this point.

Usually there's one or two gimmicks every set that I'm interested in.
Bomb, Helya, Curse of Agony, Abyssal Curse, Plaguespreader, Bad Luck Albatross, bounce your opponent's minions, burn your opponent's deck, steal your opponent's girlfriend, Wheel of DEATH!!!, Rivendare, Warrider, Alexandros Mograine, that kind of thing.
Basically I want to win but I don't want to hit anyone. The first deck that got me into Hearthstone was Mill Rogue back when Brann Bronzebeard + Gang Up + Shadowstep + Coldlight Oracle was a thing, and I've been looking for variations ever since.
I was optimistic for Barrel of Sludge, Incindius and Aranna, Thrill Seeker but these aren't in decks I want to play so I haven't been playing since Titans.

Should probably have been fixed by now.

Whenever you deal damage, do you gain that much Armor?
