I was wondering how people would feel if standard changed to force 40 cards to be the new deck limit?
Hearthstone meta gets stale real fast and a big part of it is because the deck limit is too small to have a lot of variation. A pretty common evaluation of new cards is "its good but I wouldn't spend a deck slot on it". At 30 cards, decks are barely big enough to fit all the cards they need for their archetype so there is very little variation in each version of a deck and you are pretty much guaranteed to draw at least one of every card in your deck so there is not that much variation what happens in a game either.
Would adding more variation by forcing decks to have more cards be a win for the game or is the relatively low amount of variance part of Hearthstone's charm?
Dude Paladin is rarely strong in a healthy way. When Dude Paladin is strong its almost always because of a single op card and not the actual Dude Package. Like Dude Paladin wasn't great Gen, Baku, and Sunkeeper Tarim were.
Knight of Anointment draws a Holy spell. Does it randomly draw any Holy Spell in your deck or does it draw the next card in your deck that is a holy spell? If your deck has more than 1 holy spell and you Dredge and see that a holy spell is on the bottom of your deck and play Knight of Anointment can you get the Holy Spell at the bottom of your deck or will it always be one of the Holy Spells higher up in the deck?
the absolute worst roll you could get with this is 4 vanilla 2/2s for 6 but realistically even on bad rolls you'll still probably get at least one with taunt or rush.
I think this caravan has better chances of being good than the others because its in paladin. They've got 1 cost secrets and Righteous Protector so there is a decent enough chance that you get to play this on curve behind some sort of protection.
I don't think its that hard to prevent opponents from triggering Paladin secrets, but without some secret support like Bellringer Sentry , Hydrologist , or Desperate Measures it probably wont be worth it.
IMO it feels like the biggest problem with hearthstone is how quickly a new set feels "solved" and these theorycraft streams really exacerbate that problem. I thought that time when everyone is still experimenting was really healthy for the game and its so much shorter now. I wish there was some other pre-release content they could do before the set comes out and then have the theorycraft stream on the day the set releases.
I got my first hearthstone hate mail since Gadgetzan after I stole an embiggened Scrapyard Colossus then used pen flinger to clear the rest of the board. "your pen flinger plays were scrub you noob"
10 Outta 10 Deck didn't even know people still raged hard enough to send hate mail in hearthstone.

Good meme synergy with Front Lines in a potential Big Pally deck

Follow up question, Ignite says it shuffles a card into the deck but does it really actually shuffle the deck?

I can't believe Tig is leaving the HS team. I hope HS can recover from this slump

doesnt seem as good as just using Replicat-o-tron to get a copy of the deathrattle and the stats
