Dragon and face hunter aren't losing anything and blizz will need to print a new Tar Creeper and good early game taunts and healing worth using for those to fall off.
PW:Ruin is weaker than Mass hysteria since that worked on mid-game boards, So, so far, rez priest has nothing new to stop it.
The problem with hunter is they printed too many good face and tempo cards and there are little to no ways outside of hero powers to counter them at the moment (imagine if Tar Creeper was still in the meta). There's no reason why Rotnest Drake should've ever been printed especially when you compare it to a similar card, Convincing Infiltrator. Rotnest is 6/5 compared to the infiltrator's 2/6, which means it creates a major threat on the board. The fact that it's a battlecry and hunter is so tempo right now puts the ball in hunter's court when killing a random enemy minion since they can set it up to kill a big target quite easy, while infiltrator puts the ball in priest's opponents court since they flood the board with trash to make it be a waste. Plus 2 damage isn't going to do much outside of murlocs. Plus we have the fact that rotnest works with Stormhammer to give you free charges.
Not to mention how Blizzard decided to give just about every damn neutral dragon immune to spells and hero powers. Faerie Dragon was always an ignored card because 2 hp is easy to take care of, but then you get to Evasive Feywing, which is overstated as hell at 4 mana. 4 hp is not easy to take care of, especially when you have to eat 5 damage. Evasive Wyrm is another problem card since it'll be immune, rush, and divine shield. Don't even get me started on Primordial Explorer. A cheap poison that discovers. You're seeing dragon hunter now cause it's too fast for rez priest to counter. Face hunter would get outhealed, but dragon hunter does too much damage and puts too much sticky stuff on the board for priest to handle before turn 5.
Let's not forget how sticky Dwarven Sharpshooter is. No reason for that thing to be a 1 mana 1/3
Ooh. I love talking about this kind of thing. I think Colossus of the Moon deserves a mention here, because you'd think he'd be great in Big decks/Res decks, but he sees barely any play in either.
Meta is too aggro with swing turns being out of control like they are are holding it back for it to really be a thing. I play hakkar in my rez priest and if you draw that damn, you're usually stuck holding it for a long time due to how much of a commitment 10 mana requires.
Hey, first match I got to fight 5 Patches the Pirate warrior! A week later than I thought I'd be facing that! I just got a shitty 2 card limit tournament deck. Can't really "pack a punch" when the game is over turn 2.

Dunno why it's a neutral legendary, only mage will use it. More mana cheat bs for them as well.

The Leeroy HoFing had me playing this video in my head.

I knew we'd see a Mass Hysteria replacement!

Good to see that priest is basically getting a non-rotating Mass Hysteria for 1 less mana in Shadow Word: Ruin

Can't wait for them to announce Leeroy's hall of faming tomorrow.

FYI that tavern brawl deck full of Patches the Pirate is somehow considered "Hall of champions"

More announcements for announcements.
More RNG in Tavern Brawls.
HoFing of Leeroy and other toxic win condition cards like BloodlustSavage Roar and Scavenging Hyena

I CALLED IT!
And someone wanted to argue with me that it would be the freeze card!

It's not even a good card. Had a Rena kill himself faster after multiple bad rolls yesterday.

They'd be better off selling class sets with expensive decks. Mage is barely in the meta right now and Face hunter is dirt cheap.
