The new ranked play reward system seems like a missed opportunity to me.
Rather than getting a card and some dust, I'm much rather get an improved card back for the month of ranked play based on my highest rank. For example, Rank 20-16 may get the basic card back for that month. Rank 15-11 would get the basic card back with a bit of animation or gilding. Etc etc. And Legend players would get the most awesome version with crazy animation, etc.
It would be a great way to show - hey I kicked a$$ in Season X. And it would motivate me more than the current system to really tryhard in ranked. Plus it gives rank more flavor rather than try to just copy the arena's reward system.
Theoretically: why does a minion run away when inspired lol? And the name: really?
Practically: you wouldn't buff him, he doesn't clear much, he doesn't have charge, your HP is paralyzed until (for some reason) you want to bounce him back, he doesn't cost less on re-play, he's not a great target for mirror ... there must some other synergy coming.

Imma let you finish, but Murloc Pally is going to rule the new meta.

I guess there's nothing stopping them from doing both ranked card backs AND the rewards...

These are some of the best, most dynamic animations yet. LOVE the animations for Lock and Load and Cutpurse.

yeah I'm inclined to agree. Ice Rager isn't even 'rare'.

Bolf Ramshield + Ancestral Spirit = basically 18 armor and two 3 atk minions (and a great Silence/Faceless target).

This is just insane. I can't even take it all in. Overload: (10).

Glad to see the game is making money so that it continues to grow and thrive. I wonder how much of that $$$ is hero portraits.

Looking forward to the Trolden video of a OTK combo by stealing the opponent's Auchenai Soulpriest with Shadow Madness.

Coliseum Manager is a strange card.
