I can only imagine how much fresher this game would remain if people didn't feel the need to copy decks. And you would think its just Ranked where this happens, but no. People are netdecking in casual as well, with T2 and T1 decks. It just doesn't make sense, rip.
If you believe that the decklists people are laddering and ranking with are made by people like Kibler or Toast, you're sadly wrong my friend.
Decklists are engineered by Blizzard and they're pretty obvious as soon as an expansion hits the market. Blizzard dictates the meta, not kibler or Toast. People copy those lists because it's faster to get a good list from someone who already tested it. Unless the entire HS player base would have 15 hours a day to spend deck crafting, you'll always see people netdecking. And there's nothing wrong with that cause again, Twitch celebrities aren't inventing anything new or revolutionary. "OH MY GOD KRIPP WHAT MONSTER HAVE YOU CREATED WITH BOMB WARRIOR", I mean wtf are we talking about. The entire warrior RoS roster is built around bombs.
It happened with magic, it happened with yugi, it happened and it's happening with EVERY SINGLE card game. Thinking that netdecking is bringing cancer to the game is wrong at its core.
I agree. That deck is pretty easy to build without Kripp pointing out a list. I got to a similar list after 10-12 games, starting from scratches and with no decklist. And I'm VERY BAD when it comes to deck building. Point is, it doesn't take a genius (or Kripp) to tell me that I need dr boom, wrenchcalibur, an elk etc to make that deck work. And since it's not aggro what are you filling it up with? removals. 1+1=2. That deck was made by blizzard during test phase
While the cards reveal events were unfolding I found myself more and more impressed by the quality of the art. This is something that, in my modest opinion, contributes greatly to the overall quality of an expansion. A trading card game is fun also because we're collecting (virtually, in HS case) cards and I personally often craft cards not just because of their power level, but because I love their art. Boomsday and Rastakhan, with very few exceptions (Zul'jin, Pyromaniac, Luna's Pocket Galaxy, The Soularium are amongst my favorites), had TERRIBLE and too generic art that was lacking both in imagination and quality. The overall feeling was of something "rushed" and not refined.

If you reach turn 10 against a warrior you have bigger problems than the omega devastator, my friend.

Ros. Such a good expansion.
Also the first one of the new year, so the one that will last longer until next rotation

FINALLY!
While the cards reveal events were unfolding I found myself more and more impressed by the quality of the art.

With RoS finally we're getting some fantastic, diverse, not boring art. A small list of my favorites:
Lucentbark
Shimmerfly (thinking about the golden version!)
Kalecgos
Magic Trick
Forbidden Words
Unsleeping Soul
Mass Resurrection
Waggle Pick
Muckmorpher (absolutely fantastic!)
Witch's Brew
Hagatha's Scheme
Plot Twist (golden as well!)
Impferno
Blastmaster Boom
Jepetto Joybuzz
Archivist Elysiana
Chef Nomi
Barista Lynchen
Recurring Villain
These are just few among the ones I really like.
What do you think? What are your favorite arts from this expansion?
