For this week's challenge I wanted to fall back to my roots and show a little love to all the rogue's out there by offering up a card that should inspire players to pick up something OTHER than the quest rogue deck while still being a viable addition to the marquee archetype. In the short game, this card would add a little pseudo-ramp, or be abused in various combo strategies regardless of card type.
To kickstart the whirlwind you need an existing (0) cost card, of which, rogue has access to plenty (Counterfeit Coin, Preparation, Backstab, Shadowstep...). But once you start accumulating triggers, Yllysia can start counting other cards whose cost has been reduced to (0), allowing her to fuel her own fury, or even borrow a little headwind from other cost reducers, and chain out some massive tempo plays.
Whether you are using her for a midgame gambit, or some late game combo shenanigans, Yllyssia is sure to turn heads wherever she pops up.

I've played lots of Priest in my days and I think you're overreacting a little. Priest doesn't have the best cards around, but what they do have is good enough in my opinion. If you play the class correctly you can do well. Dragon Priest is pretty good right now too, if you don't like it, don't play the class or try a different deck. I feel as if comparing Priest to Mage and Warlock is a bit much, since they are in my opinion some of the best control classes in the game. If you don't agree with me, that's fine just saying that Priest seems better off than where it was before and a set or two ago.

Lots of weird entries this week. More than usual are a bit unbalanced and I would like to say one last thing about Ethereal Spellbinder, all though an interesting card for draft it's almost useless in standard, unless you want to run a Soot Spewer without the mech tag. It's a cool idea and certainly a one of a kind that reminds me of cards from my favorite MTG set, Conspiracy it's just such an odd effect for Hearthstone in saying that you have a 0.08% chance to get this card to come up in draft, yet again it's random so who knows you could get 2 or 3 in one draft or none at all! (My math may be off if class cards come up more often) Anyways I do like some cards this week those 3 being Moonkin Form, Silver Hand Tutor and Converted Mage.

It's meant to be fun and not a great deck.

Hey there, now last year after the release of Whispers I made a guide of the most used legendaries in the game according to Hearthpwn deck usage statistics, so I'm doing it again! There are 2 categories here. One for the top ten most used and the top 10 least used legendaries.
Top 10 Most Used Legendaries: (Mostly called the best)
Top 10 Least Used Legandaries: (Mostly called the worst)
I hope you enjoyed this! It took me about an hour and a half to get all this info, if you would like to compare numbers from the last one to this one click here!
THIS DATA IS FROM THE DATE OF 8/31/16

Yes I would like to point out these statistics are based on all decks posted. This doesn't represent the whole usage of the cards in the Hearthstone community, but rather the Hearthpwn community. These stats are based on how decks use the card in general no matter how many upvotes it got, if you only did the highly ranked decks it would be more difficult to find a stat for the lowest and worst cards in the game, which I was also looking for. If you have any troubles with this feel free to do it with only Highly ranked decks, the exact stats may vary but in theory the list should stay relativity the same.

A card that enables a high damage combo for 19 damage for 7 mana. Starsurge+2 Living Roots+2 Moonfires. It can be used in other ways also, such as turning that Swipe into a board clear, it's very versatile just like Druids are.

Any possible ideas to change or balance it? At the moment it seems balanced enough but maybe it's not. If you don't know Starsurge is a Balance Druid spell that deals arcane damage, then increases the power of your next spell.

You'd be foolish to think it was dying or never alive. It's actually doing pretty good right now, no LoL or Dota numbers but those games are pretty old, while Hots is a year old. Really it's doing as well as you would expect of any game for being out for a year now. I had long match times today but that's because I was playing Medivh, he has terribly long match times in Quick Match. Unraked was going pretty fast and hero league I didn't do today.
