Windfury Harpy has seen play even in the world tournaments. It's in Even Pala to give Corpsetaker Windfury. Extremely niche, but apparently not unplayable.
My favorite unplayable card with distance is Mimiron's Head. I've played questmage in Wild that could pull off the combo and win with duplicating it. It was super fun to play, but the deck still sucked as it was just plain worse than regular questmage and worse than regular mech mage.
It is one of those cards that is extra cool to have golden, because it gives you a golden hero power for the whole game. If you like odd decks, then keep him golden.
I have checked this with a golden Genn Greymane, but the hero power is not golden.
Not with Genn because Genn doesn't give you a new heropower. Baku does give you a golden heropower because it's a whole new one. This is just like how Raza doesn't, and golden Deathknights do.

No. This is what wild exists for. You want to keep playing these cards, play wild. Standard should not have any cards that will keep being played forever.
Actually there are a lot of interesting decks that can be built.. those who complain about the meta are just lazy netdeckers.
The problem is the ladder format. Because to rank up you have to win a number of games the format very strongly promotes playing the deck that statistically has the highest winrate. If hitting legend is your goal, then netdecking the top deck is simply logical.
Definitively welcome to Hunterstone! no other classes can compete with these rules
You're missing the point. Everyone will bring counters to the top meta class, so people are going to have to play around that by not playing the top meta class. This sounds like an exciting new format, at least to watch. Which is all I care about since I don't compete in tournaments.

As a wild player, seems like this might revive quest-exodia.

But in wild where you can play both, this is gonna be insane.

Not powercreep. Al'akir can charge and that makes it a very different minion than this.

Charge is rather significant.

Solid card, but not gamebreaking. I like that it's a strong hunter card that is good because of value rather than immediate impact.

I'm confused... Do you not know that the card colors show the class?

It won't do anything with Branching Paths, as that isn't a Choose One spell. Same reason Staghelm does nothing with Branching Paths.
All Choose One cards that have more than 2 options are minions and this only works with spells, so there is no issue with the word both.

Because I enjoy this game and like getting new cards?
The better question is, if new sets don't excite you, why are you even here?

I won't ever root for him, but I can get behind the decision to not permaban for a one-time offense.
