It's a valid argument so it'll return as many times as Blizzard gives the same explanation. It's just not enough of a reason.
There is nothing wrong with making keywords, what they should focus on is how they'll TEACH people who have a hard time understanding it to understand it.

Sometimes is just better to remove the "caution hot" label on your fresh order of "hot coffee" so you burn your self. That's an actual life lesson.
Asking a person to do some 1 by 1 research isn't horrible to expect from a human.

Same here, I've never played a tier 1 deck (besides patron) but not because of needing to be a special snowflake or anything. Rather, I simply don't see the fun or challenge in looking up a list that has explanations on mulligan/tech/matchups and just doing what that person says you gotta do to win. The enjoyment I get from the game is steadily building my collection so I can create interesting/ suprising decks to experiment with and refine.

My favourite cards in the game are ones that allow creative deck building, cards like The Curator and Steamwheedle Sniper. Creativity seems to just be necessary to the enjoyment of the game for some people. It's probably best to not feel too superior but that personally doesn't stop me from feeling a little disdain towards netdeckers. It's just the pursuit of instant gratification in winning as much as possible, however it is achieved. 

On the other hand, hearthy wouldn't be nearly as big as it is without netdecking, so I guess it's kind of a necessary evil :/

I always have 2 decks for each class, would definitely love more deckslots so I can easily flick between them

and yes, some people do actively play all 18 slots and would play more if they could

Cause 99% of the community can't create a good, balanced card that fits the theme of the expansion/class for shit?

Seriously, so many people complain about blizz design but if it were up to the players the entirety of hearthstone would plummet into the abyss of videogames that just didn't make the long haul

Hey, maybe hs could say hi to duke nukem forever for us...

I think you should run Tirion Fordring and/or x2 Stonehill Defender so you can get extra Tirions (and protect yourself in the process)

Just wanted to share for those looking for a fun and competitive pally deck. It won't climb fast (obviously) but it is a lot of fun and can very easily win games.

The one flaw is it struggles with infinite vale (i.e. quest) decks but to compensate for that, it absolutely crushes anyone trying to rush you with tempo. You'll have 5 2 damage aoe's, any of which can be comboed with equality (add pyro to that list), doomsayer + maybe an aldor to control the pace of the game, an absolutely staggering healing of 80 points (maximum for every card, counting only 1 trigger for lightlord) and enough quality minions to take back the board after a good clear

Hope you guys like this different take on pally :)

Edit: there are match up and combo explanations on the deck page

Try playing around rank 15 where u get more than 3 decks being played. Legend is only about the grind, so don't go complaining about it to us 

Really loling at peeps who think jade druid is gonna be even remotely relevant in upcoming meta. You know what crushes jade even more than aggro? Midrange, which y'all are gonna get a face full of soon enough

Literally the only reason jade was in the meta at all was because the only decks that were competing otherwise were pirate and reno, completely polarising the meta, allowing JD to nibble at the edges. Truth is it's a very annoying deck that seems to break the game (technically does with actual infinite value) but has too many severe weaknesses which the upcoming meta is about to expose

Add to that the fact that the few cards that somewhat mitigated those flaws are leaving standard (mulch, living roots etc.) and it's gonna die real quick. If you are a JD player who -actually- enjoys playing such a boring deck then u better get some games in before the 6th!

Aaaaand say all that doesn't happen, then it'll be nerfed into the ground within the month. No way blizz lets a deck from previous year stop people from playing, and paying for, the new stuff

you can have 2x of a minion in your deck with raza, you just need to draw 1x of them first.

 Is that how Reno works as well? I thought that mechanic looked at your starting deck list. Regardless, stalling until you could get a combo to work won't be viable against the other quests.

 Stalling... oh you mean that thing that the priest quest does...

Priest will be fine, between quest, resurrect, purify and combo there are enough powerful synergies to explore

Wait until at least 1 month after release to declare an entire class dead

 lol we didnt need 2 wait 1 month after purify came out to know we was going to suck that xpack. We knew then and there. We dont have to wait 1 month to know we are going to suck. we are at best a tier 3 deck at this point. Btw resurrect is gone just so you know...

is actually quite good in purify priest as doesn't *have* to be silenced to be usable, which was always the main problem with that deck, too many minions that are really good silenced but complete trash if not

 THE DESTINATION IS DRAENOR

        Including 84 brand new cards. 2 new Unique Keywords. A new and unique theme for all 9 classes.

And the 7 Warlords of Draenor.

Experience the vast world of Draenor. Outland, before its destruction in all it's glory.

Across this wide planet, you will find the Hotheaded Ogres, the sly Arrakoa, the brilliant Draenei, everyones favorites, the Orcs and many many more.

And the Keywords:

The powerful denizens of Draenor empowers their Hero. YOU. By empowering your next Hero Power.

Amoung these species, you will find some of the most scary, gruesome and primal beings. So intimidating, that some can't even muster the courage to fight them!

To give you an example for whats in store. Watch these empowering but intimidating cards.

And a quick Q/A

Ok, super busy right now, but I managed to scrape together an idea and a few cards. So I present to you:

Intro:

Alright, now I'll break character and tell you about the cards, which I'll show below:

Explanations if you want:

And a Legendary:

Hope you guys enjoyed, vote up if you liked it!

wheres the heart spell?

Hi Dean, 

First i wanna say that i have spend a great deal on money on Hearthstone but i just cannot justify paying $9.99 for an alt hero. I know these heroes have been in the store for quite some time. When are they going on sale? I'm pretty sure more people will buy these skins if the price was reduced!

Thanks.

If I play Reliquary Seeker when I have 5 other minions and Nether Portal on the board, will Reliquary Seeker's battlecry activate? 

Just wanted to point out that Blizzard's clip of the Volcano card in action did have them literally raining fiery rocks upon a pirate warrior with both Patches and Small Time Buccaneer.  I think that this has not been sufficiently praised.

Oh, I guess we should start singing the dirges for MtG then... MtG has been pursuing colour identity far longer than HS has existed. Green has never been able to just straight up kill creatures, black will never ever be able to touch enchantments, red will never be control-oriented or gain card advantage etc. etc. And MtG is doing just fine, and it is still evolving colour identities to this day. HS will do the same.

It's naive to think that hunter will only ever be face, considering the amount of non-face cards that have been printed for them over the last few expansions, to the point of Blizzard steering away from pure face cards almost entirely for the class in recent times. Does the fact that Hunter's control cards or card draw are less common or powerful than other classes mean the only thing Hunter can do is go face and Blizz will only make cards that suit that strategy? Do you honestly believe that? More importantly, what do you think would happen if that weren't the case? What if hunter had a way to reload to stay in the game longer, to play the control game? The face decks that run out of steam around turn 8-10 would suddenly just keep drawing more and more ammo by splashing in that card draw and could only be countered by even faster face decks or ridiculous amounts of taunt and heal for every class. Does that sound like a healthy metagame? If a class has a strong suit, it has to have weaknesses otherwise you would see that degenerate archetype you fear.

Same for rogue. The fact that Rogue as a class will not be given powerful heals or taunts or meaty AoE is absolutely fine. If they had both powerful burst, insane combo, reliable spot removal, AoE, heals and defense, and Priest was given aggresive cards and powerful midrange cards, and Shaman was given reliable OTK combo and out-of-hand burst mechanics and Hunter could sweep the board and redraw, and Warrior would be excellent at face game, you'd end up in a melting pot metagame where everything is so homogenous you might as well scrap the classes (an exaggeration but you get the point), and everyone would be like Mage in arena, with access to a powerful version of absolutely everything (except weapons and ramp).

Rogue's identity as a CLASS should remain intact. A rogue class card should not heal, or have a big butt with taunt. But neutrals are not part of the class. A neutral card will always be less effective than a class card but it can do things outside of the class's identity. There are better heals in Paladin or Priest than Antique Healbot. But you can bet a Rogue will take a suboptimal healing card like that and make do with it (see it in Wild all the time). Class identity stays intact, and yet you can play control. You will not heal as well as Pally or Priest or recover from the brink of death like a Warrior, but you can play control to your class's own strengths and weaknesses. Believe it or not, their solution is correct. Short-sighted decisions like "Rogues are dying to hunter, let's give them board clear or heal or taunt" would end up with constant power creep as classes are trying to one-up each other in how efficient they are at what they do against everything that gives them trouble, and archetypes with clear and well-defined weaknesses and weak matchups would suddenly start getting over the top if pushed even a little bit too far in any direction (as seen with the pre-nerf Aggro Shaman).

...Giving Shaman this card doesn't matter Just because the current midrange shaman is strong. because if they put this alone into the current deck it summons a 1-1. It's completely the opposite of a dick move because using this strong card will force shamans into making a new deck entirely from the current list. This card has no effect on the current midrange deck unless it turns out the jade golem deck is stronger, in which case it will replace the current list entirely. And just because shaman is strong this expansion doesn't mean they shouldn't get strong cards for the next expansion. Dont get me wrong, I hate Midrange shaman just as much if not more than the next guy. The strong cards they do get though shouldn't just fit right into the current deck and improve it, they should be for a different archetype. Which this is. It's a good addition, which requires a deck centered around jade Golems already to be good.

Remember, the game itself is free, micro-transactions are it's business model - I don't think anyone would mind the option for cosmetic customisation for money, and that was one of the options; It's also a potential way to see how much people -really- want to see something added, if everyone answers the survey that, yes, they want all those features, how can things be prioritised? If someone says they'd pay for it then that potentially means it's something they want more than others (cosmetic versus game-play not withstanding), whether or not they actually choose to make it a paid feature.

Finding out quantitative information on what players would like to see is a valuable endeavour - just because the question about money is being asked, doesn't mean they will do it that way. Co-op mode being behind a pay wall would make me annoyed but I have no problem with the question being asked against a list of a dozen things.
