It's actually kinda sad that the people at Blizzard are so bad at communication that pretty much nobody ever goes to the actual Hearthstone / Blizzard website, but everyone instead always has to check a 3d party website for news
But indeed, Hearthpwn guys you're doing a pretty good job at compensating for Blizzard :D

Does a golden version of this card actually play golden minions? After all we are Talking about removing cards (and replacing them?) - not drawing.
Just asking, under the consideration of creating a golden Licht king.

If you have a normal golden Hero, gotten through ranked mode, and you play a non golden hero card like Uther of the Ebon Blade , will Uther of the Ebon Blade be golden or not?

Based on the phrasing of this heropower, I wonder if there will be a hero card with deathrattle, that would not mean "destroy the enemy hero" = "you win the game" ...soon or in the future.

He became literally unplayable in a warlock deck once you have become Lord Jaraxxus… unless you are really lucky with Emperor Thaurissan. :/

Exactly :) Now even considering what we just said, it is also possible that Priest will be running Silence in the future, just for stopping a buffed C'Thun, Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, Deathwing, Dragonlord, N'Zoth the Corruptor and more cards. This would serve the purpose to counter with the exact or similar high mana card. After all a combination of the owl or Spellbreaker with Ragnaros is not possible, theoretically speaking. Not sure if this will happen as long as Priest have Entomb and maybe the possibility of Mind Control, but it is worth to consider to see Silence more often in the future, just because of the owl nerf.
We will see!

Yeah that makes a huge difference, even though if you play a silence minion, it is all about countering an effect and 3 mana is better than 4. However, as you said, the owl is has now a really bad body for a 3 drop, while Spellbreaker has actually pretty good body for 4 mana. With Piloted Shredder leaving the constant 4 drop slot in some decks, Spellbreaker should find a new place, if you ask me. After all it looks like the game will slow down significantly, since aggro decks will not have as much damage potential as they used to have (expect Aggro Shaman?).

There we meet again, old friend! With [card] Ironbeak Owl[/card] becoming 3 mana, he will become the new replacement. :)

Spellbreaker - NEW SILENCE META!

No idea if anybody asked this yet, but will A golden Blood of The Ancient One and a non-golden Blood of The Ancient One result into a golden or non-golden The Ancient One?
Usually I would assume that like with golden Mirror Entity, you definitely will get a golden minion, however this is merging two of the same minions into one. Unlike Mimiron's Head, The blood of the ancient one is more likely to be twice on the field. In fact it is far less likely to activate Mimiron's Head fusion into V-07-TR-0N. Additionally they have even two different card texts… Mimiron’s Head is talking about destroying all mechs and The Blood of the ancient one is all about merging.

Crowd Favorite has finally a chance to be played in a (C'Thun) deck. He might not be seen as a very good card, but there is some potential.
After all Beckoner of Evil, C'Thun's Chosen, Skeram Cultist and C'Thun himself all have a battecry effects, so why not!? At the moment only Twilight Elder and Ancient Harbinger (if played) are the only not very "battecry"-supportive cards.
