Well, to be fair, he only played the deck on day one when everyone played something random.

Hey, I am playing Hakkar paladin before expansion and really think that archetype will be weakened without the Steggodon. The version you have made will rarely play the Loa Tiger - > The only expensive spell is Lay on Hands. Not a really reliable way to discount the Tiger.

 Twinspells could help a bit but you won't use two on the same turn each time.

I like the card, like a lot but it looks like they made Druid more hero power centric to give it heal synergies right after? I am kinda missing something here.

Sounds more like in-game bug than someone's silly behaviour. Challenge would be automatically ended once he/she dc'ed or leave the game. Same for you. If you would quit the game, then challenge is cancelled and you should be able to play normally. 

Don't remeber the name of the guy I chose but he gave me 4 packs. Whoever you are, thanks!

So we are calling legends like Deathwing crappy now? Jaraxxus too? Cenarius? 

Fact that those are not played in this shitshow we call meta right now doesn't mean they are crappy. People used to fear DW. Jaraxxus was best legendary for years! They might make him a hero card to make him viable again soon...

I miss those times. You put all best stats and some spells in the deck and just valuetraded resources all the way. Or went Unleash Hunter for turn 4 lethal. That worked too.

Anyway, at the beginning even cards like Nozdormu added into the deck could make you win the game simply because of the effect. Now those are niche because Blizzard needs people to buy packs. But that's freakin normal, we want more content so new content have to be a little better than old one. 

Do all of them have to be autoinclude? No. Back in old days, HS was just the game. You played with what you had, not with netdecked stuff to win more. Of course, people wanted to get legend and meta stabilized after a while. Still, there were more options to play just for fun since there wasn't as much answers as there are now. Some archetypes couldn't be counter by some decks at all! Now you can just tech all way in.

I am still hoping for true casual mode that will just ban cards for a week or two and will force people to experiment with "crappy"  cards. 

PS: To be absolutely honest, I do not recall the game when The Beast was played without summoning it from random effect, so there is that :)

Grimtotem is my first guess, that would be quite cool. Baine Bloodhoof as another warrior skin could be really nice interaction combo.

Someone already posted that but yeah, coin flip simulator. Lost all games when started 2nd even with the broken deck. Thankfully, won't need to play more.

I believe they wanted Brawls to be that kind of mode but that simply doesn't work. Especially when most of Brawls can be won by using standard decks. Most. Some of course are more challenging and require some thought process but I kinda do not like the idea at all. I can't remember the Brawl that I played more than once. Maybe the bosses one? But that's before I knew all their combos so it was just to learn what they do.

They can upgrade Brawl to be that kind of mode, I do agree but they are meddling with rules of the game with Brawls, not card restriction themselves. F.e. they will tell you that you deathrattles will proc twice but not say that you can't use battlecry cards. It's subtle but still different.

EXACTLY! I am waiting for a game mode like this since the beginning. With this and upfront banning - this week you can't use cards X,Y,Z. Another week you can't use A,B,C etc. It's not that hard to do... Even bots could roll for banned cards. They could be banned by theme.. mana cost whatever. Still too hard for small india company because we guys do not have a phone!

Quote from Morkimus >>

I am glad the legendaries weren't touched. The longer degenerates go by with dust problems, the longer it will take the meta to devolve into the next shitshow.

Blizzard passed with flying colors on this one.

 It sounds rough but truth sometimes does that. Since we got some problems out, let's now wait till April for spellstones to get out of the meta forever. then we will create new ones and will complain about those. Everyone on board?

Most of those looks great. I think Nourish is an overkill though. The card will be playable and yes, it was crazy strong but I always felt like it is essential druid card. Maybe that's what they want to achieve now? The change?

It seems like after playing only for quests, I will be back on ladder. Boo-yah!

@OP

I want to ban Baku the Mooneater boom, half of the game gone.

Idea is not bad but for a completely new game mode, I would love them to ban 1 legendary and 1/2 epics for each class and some of neutral ones and change it weekly. Each week new decks - at least on paper. Still, I don't believe that it will happen.

And that's what actually fcks the game all over. I get it, meta, stars. eternal fame of ranks that do not matter.

How about all HS sites banned posibility of netdecking for the 1st month after expansion hits? How about streamers do not show the lists... eh, nevermind, netdecking always finds the way,..

I voted Frogs but let's be honest - they will all rise as Zombies eventually.
