I think what a lot of people seem to be complaining about but missing the point is that it's okay to have Tier 1 decks in the meta. After so many previous seasons of being weak it's a chance for Warlock to take the front-row seat. The benefit of this change however is it gives other control decks a slight better chance to catch up as they no longer have to worry as much about the Raza-Anduin issues. There are counter cards in the meta that can deal with Cubelock if you so choose to (i.e Geist for Dark Pact, Hex/Polymorph for the Cube, plenty of weapon removal if you're bothered about Skull of the Manari or even cards like Spreading Plague to stop too great a charge combo). Yes, it will be a very strong deck, if not the strongest, but it does not have a 100% win-rate on the meta, and personally I don't find it too frustrating to lose against as I know that at least against it your decisions in play and deck designing do matter, unlike what has mostly been the case with Razakus.
So I was playing against Deathbringer Saurfang in the new solo expansion section yesterday, and decided to try defeating him as Mage by using Mindbreaker to allow me to inflict damage with spells.
Now, normally the effect that Mindbreaker has is turning over the hero power button making it unusable. However, against Lord Saurfang (who for reference has a passive hero power that means he can only take damage from weapons), it had no effect and I could not damage him with spells.
Is this a bug? And if it is only supposed to work on non-passive hero powers, can anybody confirm whether it works with Valeera the Hollow or not, due to her having a passive hero power upon transformation.

Decided not to preorder and got 2 legendaries and 3 epics in 6 packs so pretty happy

If it 'starts dormant' does this make it a targetable minion for dirty rat to hit / if so will it summon as a 20/20 or in its dormant form?

Need to play around Shadow Word Horror and Dragonfire first as well as they'll happily use that to kill mindbreaker

Geist doesn't just counter Jade Idol is why; it techs against a good amount of 1 cost cards which is why it's actually playable

Do you know if it works against any of the solo adventure bosses? Was one of the aspects that excited me about the card upon reveal
