There's a nugget of something here, definitely going to play a bit more. I don't have Cairne Bloodhoof so I put in a Vanishto help me out against aggro, but if you can stabilise early you can do some very nasty (read: funny) things.
I got a Golden Hooktusk with my initial Rastakhan packs which I'd been waiting to dust for something - probably going to hold off until I've given this a try!
It's the same with any card game I think. We'd all like to be the guy who crafted a cool deck by themselves and made it to #1, but we can't all be master deck crafters and if the consensus is that a certain combination of cards is more effective than anything else, why wouldn't you play it? Hearthstone is lucky that it's got the variety it does, and that the powerful decks can be kept in check. And if you're smart, you can do pretty well with most deck archetypes.
Managed to get The Caverns Below in a pack today (that'll teach me to chase down old pity timers) but I'm wondering, does it have a place here? If you're playing more than 5 Coldlight Oracle you'll complete the quest almost by accident, and it could lead your opponent into thinking you're playing a straight up Quest Rogue.
Pretty sure it's always been that way - if you've got one of each of the standard totems, you can't use your hero power a fifth time. No Idea how that works with Justicar Trueheart though.
[edit - didn't reply properly, now I'm forced to have an opinion]
I guess this becomes more useful as the game goes on - if you've seen a card played and it appears, that's 100% the answer. Whether it's useful to you at that point is another matter - I correctly guessed that he had a Patches in his deck! I'm at 2 health on turn 5, outstanding.
It is just me or does this card always seem to appear when you need it? If I have a bad mulligan without a 1-drop, Swashburglar is my first draw more times than not. Really weird.

Older British players will struggle to distinguish this card from Arthur Scargill, the trade union leader who led the miners strike.
As for this card; I don't know if this'll make Murloc Shaman a thing again, but getting it from Neptulon's got to be good right?
[edit - or, even better, Megafin!]

And only four cards from the basic/Classic set. Madness!

I'm sad the Legion of Boom broke up too.

Love it. I'm 6-1 so far and that loss was only because the internet died and I couldn't find my mobile phone in time to set up a hotspot.

Just had this game:
T1 Pass

Well, SOMEONE'S got to represent Android: Netrunner. I hope I've made him just as versatile and annoying as he is in that game.

Hehe, fun. With Atiesh out, Mind Controlled a Malygos. Next turn, Free From Amber into Mayor Noggenfogger + Grommash Hellscream from Atiesh, and STILL piled all that damage onto face.

"Trash Ass" is going into my repertoire.
