As a former mod of HearthPwn who will not be around, I would like to say to give the new owners a chance.
Why OOC was created and maintained was to develop a fansite that would not be restricted by companies/higher-ups. I'm not sure how the new owners will be like, so if they improve HearthPwn, good for them!

The biggest gripe I have is with the power creep. The synergy between cards is so strong now that decks can play themselves. There's no real decision making anymore, and the only difference between rank 15 and rank 1 is how long you've played this month. There needs to be more skill testing cards, and less cards that are obvious plays. Make top tier decks require skill.
Unfortunately, the game is too far down the road of power creep there's not much that can be done, other than hope that when KFT and Kobolds rotates it'll wipe the real power cards. Yet with Baku and Genn, I don't see it being fixed for another year. Due to deck thinning and the hero power, every turn is an obvious play.

Brand new accounts should have card packs thrown at them to get people rolling - if they disenchant everything they get to build a cancer hunter, well so be it. That is up to the player.
Something like 15 original packs 10 gvg, and 5 tgt. Nax is old now too, I'd say they can have that for free. Plus no mad scientitst, no noob wins ;p
F2P games die without a constant source of many new players every single day. It would also give me anothhr reason to talk about it to people who don't yet play - this I used to do but can no longer out of embarassment, thanks to either the huge time or cash sink just to devlop a semi-viable collection.

Woaaah, an announcement with more information about the announcement that was announced earlier this week!

So they wanted to 'change up' handlock because it was getting stale by pretty much killing it's one essential card and giving nothing in return?
Well good job at completely removing handlock from the game. It was one of the most fun to play decks, with a really high skill requirement yet without being op. But i shouldn't complain, at least we got aggro Shaman in return.

Flavor text:
"Faceless Overlord has the most friends on social media of all the Hearthstone minions"
Explanation:
Ok it is a 5 mana 6/6 and can't actually do anything. However there are so many synergy possibilities as it basically is all minion race types in one card. So it will fit in almost any deck. It can be buffed by any race affected card.
For instance if there are a Mechwarper and a Ship's Cannon on the board; Faceless Overlord will cost 1 less and the Ship's Cannon will deal 2 damage as well when you play it.
Other card with synergy: Tundra Rhino, Murloc Tidecaller, Mal'Ganis, Blackwing Technician and many more. I think you guys get the idea.
(edit= I added some capitals in the card text).

"More Beasts, more control."
If the image does not work, here the card in textform:
Hunter Class card, Legendary
10 Mana
"Call of the Herd"
Draw all your Beasts from your deck.
Edit: removed border from the card

A New Legendary Crafting Tier List Has Appeared!
The ratings in the thread are more than my opinion, they are opinions of people I know, myself and popular Steamers such as Trump, Reynad, Sjow, etc. I am ranking the Cards in Tiers/Brackets I am doing this because it is impossible to rate them from 1 to X.
This is not a tier list of the best Legendaries, this is a Crafting Tier list. This list is used to find out which Legendaries to craft and Disenchant. Arena and non-competitive play have no bearing on this list.
I have arranged the Legendaries this way to not only show their importance in constructed but also to inform readers on how/why they are useful. If you have any questions about the tier list ask them, if you believe the tier list should be changed in any way, PM me.
Remember: If you would like to know what Legendary to craft, please include the decks you play and the decks you are going to play. This is necessary and someone can help you a lot easier.

To those who are staying- I hope the new team will not let you down.
Hopefully the new team behind Hearthpwn will fix/improve this website to offer all users staying here the best possible experience. I also hope that the past threads and posts will not get nuked by the new owners as they are the foundations and history of this community. I've also noticed that some OG staff are staying so hopefully this site is still in good hands.
As an ex-mod I will personally jump ship and continue to get my hearthstone news from the people who spent years to make this community as awesome as it is. Getting used to something new is always difficult, but if that means I will have a better/faster overall experience I'll gladly embrace it.
It has been fun. Signing out.

Since we don't really know what mechanics this class would use in Un'goro I decided to make a card that uses both Elementals and Adapt. Hopefully the balance is right :D
