This is definitely a neat card.

Historically, 7+ mana cards that don't do anything to the board immediately have been tough to play, but maybe it will find a way.

I like it, anyway.

Yeah, I see it as as a tech cards control decks can use vs combo decks. The problem is the cost. It is probably too slow for wild, and useless vs aggro. The only plus side is that it doesn't leave any resurrection options available.

I know the meta changes fast with all the balance patches and thus the tiering is also very volatile, but already some assigned tiers to standard legendaries are a bit outdated in my opinion:

Deck of Lunacy: No longer run in the majority of Spell Mage decks post-nerf and not as impactful as before in general. Feels more like a tier 3 card now, definitely no longer tier 1
Lord Barov: Still a good card, but not really staple in any deck at the moment in standard so I'd put him on tier 2.
Cairne Bloodhoof: Not really seeing any play right now, I'd say it's also a tier 3 card
Xyrella: I still think she is a tier 1 minion, auto-include in pretty much any Priest deck and has pretty much the highest Played WR, Mulligan WR and Drawn WR in these decks
Kayn Sunfury: Barely sees any play these days, probably belongs to tier 3 as well.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder: Staple in so many decks these days as a late game finisher, tier 1 all the way in my opinion
Vectus: Starts to see some experimental play in various decks (from egg Warlock to deathrattle hunter, even saw him in a libram paladin), tier 3 is fair I think, but text needs an update as quest hunter is no longer a thing;)
Vanessa VanCleef: These days she is pretty much always included in Miracle Rogue (mostly because she comes for free with Foxy), so she might be worth a promotion to tier 2.

I'll try to take a look at the tiering for wild later too

Thanks for the feedback!

Updates for the Standard section:
Murgur Murgurgle Tier 2 to 1
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder Tier 2 to 1
Lord Barov Tier 1 to 3
Deck of Lunacy Tier 1 to 3
Cairne Bloodhoof Tier 1 to 3
Aegwynn, the Guardian Tier 2 to 3
Vanessa VanCleef Tier 3 to 2
Kayn Sunfury Tier 2 to 3
Xyrella Tier 2 to 1
Mozaki, Master Duelist Tier 3 to 4

I am not quite sure if Xyrella is worth tier 1 status if you are not a serious priest player, but she can always be demoted if someone crafts her and ends up disappointed!

Shaman and Warrior Galakronds seem to be missing from the ranking.

 Thanks, for the Wild section:
Galakrond, the Unbreakable To tier 3
Galakrond, the Tempest To tier 3
Silas Darkmoon Tier 2 to 3
Shudderwock Tier 3 to 2

This has honestly been a trend for many years, and it started even long before the change of ownership.

I have done some pretty serious attempts at making activity here, but demanding nerfs and complaining about decks, cards, the whole meta or whatever else just seems to be what make people read threads and post.

One very big problem might be that forum websites could be a format of the past. I am not entirely sure, but I feel a lot of the more interresting discussions about the game now take place on Reddit, Twitter, Discord or in YouTube videos.

If cards like Mozaki, Archwitch Willow and Aluneth are tier 2, so should Val'anyr be, as it is a good option in its archetype but definetely not a staple, as the best versions of handbuff paladin have cut it.

You are right. Val'anyr sees less play now after the last round of nerfs which effectively killed Even paladin.

For the Wild section:
Val'anyr Tier 1 to 2
Mecha'thun Tier 2 to 3
Lynessa Sunsorrow Tier 2 to 3
Chillmaw Tier 4 to 5
Soggoth the Slitherer Tier 4 to 5

Honestly just give them a balanced (for the current meta) overload cards. For most overload cards you pay to much in overload. The mechanic in it self is actually good and interesting in card games. You can switch your turn 4 and 5 for example. It's just way too hard to balance and because of that, and Blizzard is currently going the, we would rather overload cards a bad than broken route. 

One change could be you can choose to pay the overload on the current turn though. Small Buff for the mechanic

Yes, the mechanic is fine as it is, they just need to print strong enough cards.

Overload cards have dominated in the past.

I'm just wondering exactly how Sphere of Sapience interacts with targetted draw. Say I drop a fireball to the bottom of the deck via sphere, followed by an ice barrier to the bottom, and then play Inconspicuous Rider. Is the deck then shuffled? Does the fireball stay bottom? Does this somehow change if there's one/two barriers? If there's two, which is pulled by Rider, or is it random if it's still bottom? I'd presume that taelan would work the exact same as rider here.

Tutors do not care about the order of your deck, just if there is a card or not. If several cards match the tutor criteria, it chooses randomly.

I am not entirely sure about the meaning of "bottom" in this case, and which cards reshuffle. I am pretty sure swapping decks does reshuffle, though.

Edit: I did some testing. Direhorn Hatchling says "shuffle into your deck", and that means that the cards Sphere of Sapience put at the bottom will not be at the bottom anymore. I assume this is the case for all "shuffle" cards, including your opponent's deck and orders made by Lorekeeper Polkelt.

To all you rigged boys, I'll tell you what happens:

Today, I played vs 4 priests in a row on the Wild ladder, 3 big, 1 Raza. My deck has a hard matchup vs priest, and I came off a win streak. RIIIGGED i might have cried, the game is punishing ME for MY winstreak.

No.

Part of my win streak was DODGING priest for the previous several games, and as the class is quite popular, they would have to show up eventually. And if I switch decks to counter priest, is it most probable I will keep facing even more priests in a row, or that I will face more other decks?

Randomness is random, just deal with it. One of the priests played very badly and lost, so I still got a 2-2 out of my "unlucky" streak, which is completely fine.

How MMR and rank is used is not obvious, but if you are not in the "noob zone", they clearly don't use anything else, or it would have been figured out long ago.

Quote from Finalstan >>

Can someone explain to me what MMR is, please? 

It is Match-Making-Rating, a number which should show your skill-level pretty accurately given some time. It is used by the matchmaker to give you opponents at a similar level. On the Hearthstone ladder, this number is unfortunately hidden, but in Battlegrounds it is shown.

MMR-ratings are pretty common in the world of sports, and are often used to set up tournaments to avoid that strong teams/players knock eachother out early:

https://en.chessbase.com/post/fide-ratings-march-2021
https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/

I have not studied in detalil how the number is calculated, but it generally pays off to win vs higher ranked opponents, and you are punished for losing to lower ranked ones.

 Dear Hearthpwn,

Almost a decade later why can y'all not figure out how to show every stage of the card?

I didn't even realize these cards had other stages until I saw them from another source.

Face hunter. End of story.

it's ok, that some classes have stronger heropowers it was intented by HS team since the start. They said they balance it by giving classes with stronger Hero-powers, weaker basic and class cards (Warlock is a good example - best HP, weak cards).

Honestly I have never thought about this and I will not because it looks absolutely unimportant for me.

EVERYONE was afk while I was playing as a.f.kay

So I did the only logical thing. I went up to tier 6, and fill my board with tier 6 minions as much as i could.

Here's this image if you really need it

I hate free wins, i'd like a challenge.

No, there is no MMR for match 1

Actually if it was an aggro meta then control decks would rise in popularity and WR.

But it isn't. It is almost fully a midrange deck meta: Deathrattle DH, Elemental Shaman, Rush Warrior are all midrange decks and they are 3 of the best decks in the game right now
