    I actually like the new expansion, and there are a number of interesting cards/decks in it IMO.  But I do agree that the timing has made it a bit less hype- League has season 11 start, the NFL is in full swing, uni has started back up, etc.

    posted a message on Secret passage

    I'm not going to sugarcoat it; the problem is pretty blatantly secret passage and the power of rogue in general. If you look over at Vicious Syndicate, you'll see that 21% of all legend and 24.5% of top 1K legend is rogue. Both are over double the 10% average for all classes. Of those rogues, well over 95% run 2x Secret Passage and it's one of the highest winrate cards in the list. Aggro rogue in particular has only 2 clearly unfavorable matchups: cyclone mage and face hunter. All of these indicators at these levels have, historically, led to nerfs. I have no doubt secret passage will, and should, be one of them.

    posted a message on #DeletePriest

    I’m most tournaments I play in, Priest rarely sees play because it has a suite of really bad Aggro matchups and can’t counter the decks it needs to counter (ex. Warrior) regularly enough. That being said, it’s value generator is needed to counter standard midrange-y to control decks (namely said warrior.) 

    also, blizzard said that they’re moving away from the “Discover clown fiesta” style of gameplay for Priest. That should help.

    Because people are statistically more likely to respond in forums if they feel extreme emotions. Lots of studies have backed this.

    posted a message on Where is Da Undatakah now?

    It definitely had its day in Hadronox Druid, and I think will see play again. It just needs to have the right deathrattles to synergies off of. Blizzard is afraid to print top-tier deathrattle minions for a number of reasons, but if the right one gets popular, this card could take off.

    posted a message on Blizzard changed classic legendary opening rate?

    Statistically speaking, having a smaller than 10 expected successes and 10 expected failures in a trial-based experiment is too small of a dataset to draw conclusions. This would mean a sample size of 100 packs at least, probably more given the scale of any possible change.

    But either way, good packs are good packs.

    Back to the main topic...

    The Lich King. If you want control, he's a great option regardless of the class. That sounds like a good idea given you're on a budget.
