I got Nzoth, Sylvanas, Shifter Zerus, Princess Huhuran, Confessor Paletress, Twin Emperor Veklor and Xaril in golden

 

i dusted golden the beast, fjola lightbane, blingtron and yogg ( got a golden version exact one day befor the nerf was announced:D free dust)

 

oh and if u ask, i never crafted a golden legendary. 

If it's real I think I would rather take 3 damage to face than have 2 overload T2. That and it'll be removed instantly and you'll lose the game most likely to tempo by T3.

If the mystery card is not Don Cho, half the nation will riot.

Guys chill. No way Blizzard is slowing down the hype train. This whole thing is just a ruse to bring more traffic to the gadgetzan site. They'll show the card either way.

I agree with you on that, Adventures are absolutely great. I'm not totally in agreement when it comes to Heroic. It is way too RNG-based to my taste. Doing the same boss for DAYS at a time to get the perfect hand is just plainly stupid.

Question though: what happens when your Hero hits level 60 ? besides extra basic golden cards (that nobody uses) ?

I find 80-100 usually gives you most cards and enough dust to complete 2-3 deck immediately from a new expansion.

It seems you're in a very good spot.

Simple is subjective; you can have a low skill level and find the game simple or you can have a pretty high skill level and find difficult plays. You can tell the game is simple when you play against the best players and you win 70% of these games IMO. There are more difficult game? Sure this doesen't make HS objectively simple. This is a game easy to approach and difficult to master and this is probably the reason why many people play it. I can make an example out of the celestial invitational today match eloise vs. Lifecoach. Lifecoach is objectively one of the very best HS players; today he had to play a format wich consisted in standard + naxxramas. Long story short he lost 9-3; this tell that for him HS is pretty simple but when he can't predict the meta there are some issues and the game suddenly become pretty complicated.

I looked for the exact definition of secrets on Hearthstone Gamepedia: "Secrets can only be activated on the opponent's turn, preventing the player from triggering them themselves. There is however one exception - Competitive Spirit, which activates at the start of the player's turn."

 I am not convinced - the text on both the secret and dirty rat implies that its the correct outcome and competitive spirit breaks the standard rule because of text wording. We'll see I guess. Gamepedia is not blizz so just like any wiki while credible may be wrong - that and things change.

This is an unofficial rulebook, but it is on Blizzard's forums approved by community managers.  And to convince you even further Mirror Entity says "when your opponent PLAYS a minion", not when he summons. So if he doesn't PLAY the minion himself it doesn't get copied by Mirror Entity. You don't get an Animal Companion through Mirror Entity because your opponent played a spell that summoned the minion and not the minion itself. I'm 100% sure Dirty Rat will not proc your own Mirror Entity.

You're judging it solely based on tempo value. I agree with you that it has a high risk in that regard, but also consider the style of control decks that use this for disruption. This effect is a roundabout Battlecry: Your opponent discards Reno, Malygos, Alexstrasza, Jaraxxus, Leeroy, C'thun, N'zoth... Also look at all the battlecry effects in this expansion... This disrupts Kun, Kazakus, Kabal Talonpriest, Big-Time Racketeer, the "Battlecry: Buff things in your hand" effects, the discover effects, and honestly its not that bad against aggro if they pull out something like Abusive Sergeant..

 Are you telling me randomly disrupting one important battlecry minion from the opponents hand 1 in 10 times is worth taking the BIG risk of losing on turn 2 (or whatever turn you play this) because YOU played this card ?

You can't be serious. Of course i'm sololy judging this based on tempo, it's not tiny bits of tempo here and there, this is ENORMOUS tempo we are talking about here, one does not simply recover from giving a free threat to the opponent.

This risk of losing on the spot because of this card is WAY higher than the risk of winning on the spot with it.

And keep in mind that you only have A CHANCE to gain tempo with this card against aggro decks (they still run 3-4-5 mana minions that will screw you hard, hello doomguard), and A CHANCE to gain value against combo deck if you pull out a win condition, but against midrange and control decks (they represent a big part of the meta), you are GUARANTEED to screw yourself hard.

If a card has more than 50% chances to suck ass, there is competitively no reason to play such a card.

 Ancestral call reads very differently - so we cannot talk about rules as if they are the same. I think I may be right on this and it could be a fringe interaction. Which, makes this card way way way more usable in midrange/control decks.

 You are right, Ancestor's Call does say "put", not "summon", but the rules of secrets still stand. No matter the wording you cannot trigger your secrets on your turn (except Competitive Spirit that clearly states it activates at the start of your turn). All other secrets are deactivated on your turn.

Yep, its worded summon so that summon effects can still be in play. Mage secret when your opponents summons a minion summon a copy - Im guessing in sequence you can pop your own secret with this. Summon your opponents rag - get you own, snipe opponent rag with your new rag and taunt on board to protect your rag- PWND.

 

That could happen T3... T3! 2/6 taunt with rag on board!

 You can't pop your own Mirror Entity. Mirror Entity triggers only on the opponent's turn.

Popping secrets is not based on turn but the opponent performing an action. Your summoning for your opponent - it may well be a rule we haven't experienced yet that actually works. 

 This is no longer true. Secrets are literally de-activated during your turn.

 That's too bad if blizz has confirmed this (id like blue post link for clarification), because the card very specifically reads: your opponent summons a minion from their hand - not summon a minion from your opponents had. 

 I think it's worded like that so you know it's summoned on their side of the board and not yours.
