People can be such arseholes. I wish you the best and good luck, OP :,D

Quick question: What are 0 mana cards considered?

Why is this guy not Ben Brode?

HMMMMMMMMM there have been multiple legendary reveals in the past that turned out to be true, and everyone just dismissed them as fake. I think the wisest approach is to believe until proven wrong ;p

Did you by any chance record those statistics using HSDecktracker or a similar software? Seems like you put a lot of effort into this, but it seems odd that you're not really presenting any proof.

I am a Doctor by trade, with over 15 years of experience curing colds and using band aids. So I decided to run a Medicine Experiment to test my theory because yes, I definitely am very much a real doctor

Screenshots? Deck tracker? Sampling error? Z scores, null hypotheses, alpha level, significance test output, etc? 15 years experience lol

Congratulations, but if I think about it, you're just a person who infested ranked with face decks........ >:(

I, personally, love nerdy shit like this.

I totally understand the frustration and how we all wanna see the new expansion ASAP, but a new expansion without this cutesy, Ben Brode tweeting, stuff would not be an expansion worth having, imo.

I also like how more of the team are getting involved in these silly RPs.

One step closer to world peace, thanks Team5!

I kinda both like it and find it funny how they're quoting San Tsu Art of War to appeal to the Chinese audience haha. Makes me wonder what's the European and American counterpart?

 Just give up. This guy is impossible. If you disagree with him, he will just keep stubbornly repeating himself because he cannot conceive how opinions other than  his own can even exist. 

 Yeah, it's funny, repeating facts somehow doesn't make people want to rethink their opinion. One would hope facts would be irrefutable, but some people enjoy skipping over facts to further their hate towards something.

"This card was at (4) mana until near the end of final design. Was one of the more powerful cards in the set.Opted out of (4) because it was too generic use, powerful in almost any game situation, and too good at something Druids tend to lack "

I'm just glad you're not a game developer in charge, many cards are a bit, others are totally OP. I'll pick the completely broken ones.

Warlock: 1 Mana 2/2 that deals an average of 7-10 damage to the enemy hero over time as a battlecry? Are you serious?

Druid: 2 Mana 4/4? Or rather 6 mana 8/8?

Priest: Not that op, but I want to wrote something about it. 4/12 is incredibly hard to remove, like Ysera. Thing is, Ysera is incredibly slow since you need to be in a decent spot already to spend 9 mana for a card without immediate impact while surviving the opponents next turn. Ysera is a tempo loss, this isn't because it has Taunt and protects not only your board, but also your face. Now that heals itself every turn, the opponent has literally no way to clear it unless he has one of the few unconditional hard removals. As it is a 9 mana card, it might be acceptable, but it is just very frustrating to play against with such a limited pool of answers since you can't kill it over 2 turns. Thus it is no good card design.

Edit: The paladin creation 2 comments above this post is kinda the same power level as the 2/2 Warlock legendary is, if not stronger. How is anyone supposed to deal with this? Make it a 4/4 or 5/4, no way to get almost vanilla stats attached to such an strong card text. No one has cheap cards and spare ressources in form of cards by turn 8 to deal with something like this

 Isn't it funny how the word "charge" is bolded because it's a hearthstone mechanic?

Anyway, thanks for your feedback. I think that the fact that every class gets such a legendary makes them all balanced, somewhat...?

Agree to the charge thing. ^^

Regarding balance: I don't think so. These are much stronger than Dr. Balanced, really. Not cool to have op cards that everyone MUST include.

Also some cards are totally fine. Mage for example definitely is not op, seems pretty balanced. Actually it might be a bit cheaper, 7 mana would be totally fair aswell. MAYBE even 6. Shaman is the second card that is balanced, rogue might be acceptable as a legendary, but is on the borderline. Hunter is a bit above the borderline. Then there is Warrior, the remaining cards are - by far - over the top.

Btw I didn't see the Taunt at the Paladin dragon, else it would have been high in my previous comment aswell, broken on Druid/Warlock level at least. How are you supposed to kill this thing? Even without taunt, it is a very strong card. Taunt and immune to spells is nothing to be combined with high health and high attack, really.

 

 I agree regarding the paladin one, I personally think it's the strongest card of all of them. Maybe it would be balanced if it were 10 mana? what do you think? 

But regarding the druid one, it's so susceptible to silence, it's basically only good if you make it a 4/4 because then you lose less value. Regarding the warlock, it's such a slow card dude. 1 damage every of your opponent's turns. I don't understand why you think it's OP, judging it from a class legendary perspective. Also, note that it's not a demon, which makes it worse, slightly.

and regarding the priest, I really think it's debatable, since everyone nowadays use removal like polymorph or hex, when facing a dragon priest, everyone would know to save it to that card, because it's so predictable. I think it's slightly better than ysera, but then again, it's a class legendary.

But I just want to say that, what I like about these cards is that each appears to have a whole lore behind it, wouldn't you say? I personally like Joe-Rassic the most, it's so fun looking and looks like it may have really interesting lore... :)

The day I get punished for being skilled in arena is the day I quit the game. Seriously, wtf?!

Quote from moonsorrow999 >>

But Jade Idol isn't that OP, the fact that Skulking Geist is not an auto win card proves that. I've won many games after being Geist'd.

I dunno,  Blizzard themselves probably internally forcasted a decline from hearthstone revenue - it's getting older every day, and nearly all games bleed players over time.

So... Why did Ragnaros go to wild again?
