Why not find space for Potion of Madness, Shadow Madness, or Cabal Shadow Priest and double up on your Weasley Shenanigans.

The difference is a function of both time and win percentage.

If you win 51% of your games, you gain one star every 50 games. You can theoretically get to legend, but the time investment is crazy. 

If you raise that win percentage to just 60%, you gain one star every 5 games. You just reduced the time it takes to get to legend by 90%!

Win percentage is a combination of making the right plays, playing the right deck for the ever shifting meta, and luck of the draw and matchups. Luck should even out over time. Building the right deck and making the right plays are acquired skills.

This card is every bit as good as I hoped it would be. I'm running two in midrange pally from now on.

Just because druid is the most interesting of these options, here are some numbers specific to druids using Tomb Spider:

Chances of discovering:

• 0 of the druid beasts: 24.7%
• 1 of the druid beasts: 49.3%
• 2 of the Druid beasts: 23.6%
• 3 of the Druid beasts: 2.4%

For anyone interested in some stats:

• There will be 32 possible cards this can discover (at release). See the full list here.
• 15 of these cards cost (3) or less. 17 cost (4) or more.
• 11 of these cards are legendary, meaning you have about a 72% chance of being offered at least one legendary card. (This math is off for multiple reasons)
• You are very, very likely to discover a Dark Cultist. (A class card is 4x more likely to be discovered. - B.Brode)
• The most likely mana cost of any one card offered is (2), at 25%.
• The second most likely mana cost is (6), at 22%.

For a control priest, this might be a solid tech choice against aggro or zoo.

Think of it as a slightly weaker circle combo that doesn't require a combo, and potentially denies your opponent a usable draw.

Ya'll keep playing hunter. 100% win rate with my Dragon Priest.

I tried playing Enter the Coliseum in midrange paladin a little, and found that it just doesn't fit. 

Enter the Coliseum is compared to Brawl, but there is a major difference: class play style. Warriors tend to have little-to-no board presence in their early game, running weapons, card draw, and armor gain, allowing them to throw down a mid-game board clear with little-to-no downside for themselves. Paladins have strong early game, and are hoping to be ahead by mid-game. If they're ahead, a mirrored board clear in the mid-game is terrible. If they're behind, they lose a full turn to play a board clear that doesn't remove the biggest threat, leaving them insufficient resources to deal with it.

This card is only good if you have exactly 1 minion on the board that is better then their best (rare), or if you combo this with removal (costs 9 with Aldor), which is just too slow in the midrange paladin lists.

What it means: This card needs a new deck (I'm thinking control paladin that plays a lot more like warrior) or it's not worth using.

Sorry to spil you the fun but...what exactly is retarded in a slow skill based Control deck (that is actually making games be fun) and isn't in a no-brainer fast paced deck that is only making people hating the game...?

And blizz is not FORCING Reno decks...it's just promoting them...alot of people like these kind of decks and hate the aggresion so this is EXTREMELY good i'd say. The games will not "play themselves" rather people will actually have to think before playing for once.

P.S.: Reno decks are all about expirementation actually...you can't net-deck a reno deck and hope to have the same winrate as the guy who made it even if u'r the same lvl a player as he is...30 different cards means ALOT of room for expirimentation and I can easily guarantee that 2 reno decks having the same cards diferent is almost imposible indeed.

(Also I think that more no dupes cards will follow eventually so it's not just reno decks...cause next expansion this deck is gonna be played without Reno, I hope at least)

Can't you just renounce darkness by conceding? 

Class - Gygaxian Horde
Hero - Dungeon Master
Source - Dungeons and Dragons

 The above spoiler just has some detail about how the hero power works.

 Whether you love RNG or you hate RNG this hero power is for you.  Ever want to decide where those madder bomber bombs land?  Want to pull the perfect drop out of a Shredder?  Roll a 20 is the answer.  Prettymuch any random effect on your turn is under your control with this charged.   This only takes place on your turn however, so you don't get to determine random effects on opponent's turn.  (just too messy with the timer)

It's a board clear and a decent body in 1 card.  Great for flipping the board, even better if  you have charged your hero power.

Compares almost directly with Faceless manipulator.  Is almost exactly the same if your hero power is charged, but, if you are looking to take your chances you can get a random effect cheaper.

Compares with Northern Sea Kraken.  One less cost, but, random effect instead.

Don't Stop Spinning (Wheel of Time-themed deck)

Our hero is Moiraine Damodred, one of the central characters in Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series. Moiraine is an Aes Sedai, a Tower-trained sorceress capable of both destroying and healing with her Source-based magic. However, like most Aes Sedai of her generation, Moiraine's connection to the Source is not exceptionally strong. To defeat her opponents she must rely on wisdom and guile as much as on her Aes Sedai abilities. Position your pieces wisely and use your limited magics judiciously.

Hero Power

Moirane's hero power provides the player with 3 or 4 basic Aes Sedai spells. These spells are not powerful, and are meant to provide minor buffs and minor damage/disruption effects. Think of them as Spare parts. They are not super impactful, but clever use will lead to favorable trades. I am not quite sure yet how much mana they should cost. By default, I went with 2 mana for the hero power, and 1 mana to cast the spell. 2+1 mana is probably an overkill, and I am considering either reducing the hero power cost to 1.

Absorb (keyword) - reduces incoming damage by stated amount. Unlike a health buff, this does not go away after damage is applied. Use this to keep your low-health minions alive. Example: give +1 absorb to a 2/1, and a haunted creeper will no longer be able to kill it.

Link (keyword) - incoming damage is equally split between minions. This can be used to keep your own minions alive (friendly-friendly link), to crowd control enemy minions (enemy-friendly link encourages specific attack order by the opponent), and to destroy low health enemy minions (link two enemy 3/2's and attack one of them with a 4/5, killing both).

Both Absorb and Link will be found on other cards as well. Ward: Strike is pretty self-explanatory. Pay 3 mana to do 1 damage is very expensive, but you get the benefit of it being a card in your hand.

Sample Class Cards

I didn't put too much time into these yet. For now they are mostly a nod to WoT lore, while being reasonable from the gameplay standpoint.

Warder is your basic 4-drop. As long as he is alive, all the damage Moiraine takes is reduced by two. It's meant to be an anti-aggro card that gives your opponent a choice: keep hitting face for reduced damage, or spend resources killing the Warder. The card might be lackluster otherwise, and I am still thinking about it. Lorewise, this card pays homage to Warders, warrior bodyguards and assistants to the Aes Sedai, hence the absorb effect.

Nynaeve al'Meara is one of your 3 class legendaries. Her main role is to provide a boost to Ward: Strike and other weak Aes Sedai spells. She might end up being abused with Moonstrike in the mid-game, but since the spellpower effect is tied to Enrage, I think it will be ok. Lore-wise, this is a reference to Nynaeve: her magic abilities are super strong, but she can only channel them when she is pissed.

Balefire is meant to be one of the win conditions. Wait until late game and try to combo it with Nynaeve (or Alexstrasza), or use it in mid-game to fight for board control. The resurrection drawback is there, because 8 damage to anything for 5 mana is too versatile. The lore reference is to balefire, a spell that obliterates so completely that it unravels the past and changes the present. (I need to word this card better; the minion you destroyed with it can not be resurrected).

Playstyle Overview

I envision this class as a mix of priest, mage, and tempo rogue. You have beefy minions you buff with cheap spells and can win the control game. Or you can stall by avoiding damage through absorb, and then burst on turn 9 with Alex + 2 balefires. Alternatively, you can use clever combos with link and absorbs to outvalue your opponent and gain tempo. This is not a fast class, though. Reliance on buffs and minions defines it. The trick will be to think of balancing these minion and spell interactions. 

 edit1: adjusted card size so 3 fit in a row

My custom class is Space Cowboy and its hero is Cowboy Bebop's Jet.

In the anime, the Bebop's crew's bounty hunting skills are... well... Somewhat lackluster at times. But if there's one thing Jet does nail it's fixing stuff. In the Sol System, buildings, cars and other spaceships tend to fall apart faster than anyone can (or is willing to) repair them. But don't you worry, for Jet is here to save the day with his hero power and unique keywords like a budding MacGyver !

The two new keywords are Repair and Broken.

Think of Broken as a reverse Enrage : As soon as a minion takes damage, it looses its card text. That's where Repair comes in. You can use your hero power to Repair Broken minions if you want the card text back. Repairing a minion will cost mana as stated on the card.

These mechanics allow for powerful tempo minions to cost less at the expense of being easily weakened later on. But I guess a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is my first card : the Novice Bounty Hunter.

When this card is played, it becomes a 2/3 for 1, but after taking non-lethal damage (e.g. a ping), it goes back to being a 2/1. Just in case you were wondering, if 3 or more damage is dealt to it, it dies instantly. When the minion is in its Broken state it might then be Repaired for 1 mana to regain its card text (+2 Health). This card is meant to be anti-aggro and is balanced against Zombie Chow.

Of course, these mechanics can be used for much greater effects than a simple stat gain, and as an example, here is Jet's loyal Hammerhead.

With a statline inspired from Bolf Ramshield, this card will shine against midrange and late game decks by freezing threats dead in their tracks like a nasty Mal'Ganis... Or you know, an Imp... I guess that works too, right ?

And finally, a card that could under the right circumstances turn a losing board into a soon-to-be-broken-again powerhouse : Jet's special  Bell Peppers and Beef. I specifically chose not to Repair Mechs as the tribe is already strong regarding tempo and combining that with the Broken/Repair mechanic would restrain design space for this class' Mechs. Besides, Mechs can't really eat now can they ?

See you Space Cowboy...

....ironic that 72 virgins are now attacking the terrorists

Hope you like it!
