"Laziness." Easiest one word answer. When you design a game you need to follow every possible engagement to determine balance. There are thousands of possibilities in Hearthstone, and I'm convinced that the testers only trigger hundreds of interactions. The unforeseen consequences are the major issues and balance complaints we have.
Why more RNG? You create a spread of chaos instead of a stream. Instead of huge plot holes you get occasional inconveniences. Easier to sweep under the rug.
Have you read the flavor text for Icicle yet ...!? Some dad at Blizzard has been spouting off puns for over a year and the design team came to him, after months of being bothered to do so, and said "Fine [Greg], we'll use your joke in the game." That is why this card exists.

I opened my packs at a Fireside as well. One pack had 2 legendaries. Next had 1 legendary.
Ended up with 8 legendaries in the end, 14% pack appearance and 3% drop rate when compared to individual cards.

Turn 5 win, first try. Thanks!

#1 My opponent always has a better hand.
#2 Had 5 cards in my hand. They changed. I then had 4.
I feel like Blizzard discovered a bug and thought "hey, let's make this a brawl." Absolutely broken!
EDIT: Curious Glimmerroot doesn't work.

Took me too many tries to admit but I was finally able to win with Witch. This brawl was RNG, to the limit!

Too much RNG in the bosses favor.

Been happening for a few weeks now. A reinstall will sync once, but never again after. It's more than just the hero, whatever the issue.

I can't find any emails like this, in my trash or spam, since 2014.
(2014 was the earliest appearance of "Hearthstone" in my email)

Had the same thing happen with giggling. In my inventory it's a 5, but in game it's a red 7.
EDIT: Apparently it patched while I was in game, so the new rule was present to make it fair despite me not running the update yet. This was on PC.

I hear it should be done by 2025, but don't quote me on that.

I received Malygos + Bloodmage Thalnos + Illidan Stormrage, and spent free money from Google Rewards to do it. Thank you RNG.

The base attributes and cost of Xul are along the lines of Mechanical Whelp or Possessed Lackey , just in case he sees play via something like Weaponized Piñata or Toki, Time-Tinker , because he's supposed to be buffed like Lynessa Sunsorrow .
Clarification: Xul's stats are set to the triggered deathrattle number as of the casting of Death's Purpose.
