Is this card going under the radar? MY nerf:
Arcane Tyrant - costs (1) if you've cast a spell that costs (5) or more this turn.
According to stats this is mostly a Druid card, they use it often as free body after nourishing t5, or cleaning up their hand to prevent overdraw after UI. With 1 more cost this denies body of on-curve Nourish and is unusable after 10 mana cost spells.
Personally I'd like to see global cost-reduction mechanic nerf, where cost cannot drop below (1) under any circumstances. Free cards are generally unhealthly for the game and create garbage infinite combos.

Collecting all cards is quite expensive in hearthstone. Collecting all cards from the expansion requires something like 350 packs and this is a hefty sum of money.
But most people aren't interested in full collections. They want decent+ cards. And here comes the difference. From that $300 to get all cards in artifact game majority of price goes to viable cards. In Hearthstone worst legendary and best legendary have the same cost.
And, please, stop this - "F2P is more expensive because you are spending your time" bullshit. This is only true if you are doing something for grinding the gold without having fun and I pity anyone wjo does that, if they have computers with internet access, they can get better hourly rate in $ whenever they live. And it will be a more entertaining way to get packs.

Actually, many complainers aren't playing real control.
They are playing GREEDY anti-control decks and hope to have easy wins against players who play normal control\slowish midrange decks. And when they get those easy wins they consider themselves skillful players, when they get deserved losses it is because "their opponents play mindless decks"

You need to add the third option in the poll: Players that play greedy slow decks and complain about everything that counters that kind of "skillful" strategy.

It doesn't give weapons from your opponent's class. It gives non-rogue weapons.

It is simply untrue. Unlike hearthstone arenas drafts in Artifact are MMred, that means your winrate will always be around 50% . With 2.5 wins on average you'll run out of tickets very, very fast and will get less cards than by simply buying decks instead of buying tickets

Look, Artifact is a quite new game with many sponsored streamers playing it and right now (Europe evening) they have 8k viewers on twitch. It is nothing. Even MTGa has more with 12k.
Can they get some playerbase who will pay money for it? Sure. Absolutely. Steam client is a powerful thing. But I see no reason to believe that they'll have a large playerbase close to Hearthstone or Valve's own top games.

He'll be surprised when he'll find that almost all his cards are worth almost nothing (you need how many cards to recycle them into a $1 ticket? 20? Then worst cards will cost something like $0.04)

Your forgot to mention an important condition for that to work: Your opponent is disconnected
