Eat a ****ing dick! This stupid game's RNG is beyond rigged. Of the last 23 times I have played Unidentified Maul, 18 of the boosts have been Taunt. Literally the only boost that doesn't win me the game on multiple occasions and I get it almost every time. 1/4 probability my a**.

If physical card games like Magic the Gathering and Yugioh can implement this mechanic, a digital game like Hearthstone would most definitely be able to sustain it. Just create a new keyword "banish" and have the banished cards be coded as if they were never in the deck to begin with. No Deathrattles. No revival. No "if you've played x card this game" effects. Just go poof. It might take some thought into how to balance the effect relative to mana cost (I'm thinking a 6 mana banish, and a 9 mana AoE banish, add restrictions like "banish a minion with 3 or less attack" or something), but that should be resolved with proper testing. *cough* Blizzard *cough*

This would have been a nice and elegant nerf to Patches. Stonetusk Boar wasn't the problem. 0 mana Stonetusk Board that doesn't cost you a card was. This also helps deal with the issue of random otks coming out of spells or deathrattles.

The following are my opinions and not necessarily accurate, but it should give you a good idea of which cards to prioritize. The only ones I don't believe are up for debate are the 4 cards I've listed as S Tier. They're on a completely different level than the rest of our cards. The controversial one, Ancestor's Call I believe is A tier, since it is one of the few cards we have that is virtually not possible to powercreep and should only get better with time.
S Tier: Auto-include cards that warp the meta and provide Shaman with the majority of its power, these are the cards that define the class
Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem, Maelstrom Portal, Jade Claws
A Tier: Staple cards that every Shaman deck should either include or consider, or have comparable power to S Tier cards but don't belong in all decks
Evolve, Lightning Bolt, Whirling Zap-o-Matic, Unstable Evolution, Devolve, Crackle, Mana Tide Totem, Lightning Storm, Healing Rain, Jade Lightning, Ancestor's Call, Thunder Bluff Valiant, Thing from Below
B Tier: Good cards that Shaman decks can make great use of depending on the archetype, but don't have the flexibility nor power that S Tier cards have
Primalfin Totem, Reincarnate, Lava Shock, Ancestral Spirit, Ancestral Knowledge, Hot Spring Guardian, Powermace, Lava Burst, Feral Spirit, Healing Wave, Elemental Destruction, Flamewreathed Faceless, Jinyu Waterspeaker, White Eyes, Hallazeal the Ascended, Volcano, Hammer of Twilight, Doomhammer, Thrall Deathseer
C Tier: Tech cards that serve niche roles
Air Elemental, Earth Shock, Finders Keepers, Unite the Murlocs, Primal Fusion, Murmuring Elemental, Spirit Claws, Vitality Totem, Eternal Sentinel, Brrrloc, Ice Fishing, Crushing Hand, Unbound Elemental, Tuskarr Totemic, Spirit Echo, Far Sight, Wicked Witchdoctor, Slitfin Spiritwalker, Master of Evolution, Fireguard Destroyer, Call in the Finishers, Windshear Stormcaller, Voodoo Hexer, Earth Elemental, Grumble Worldshaker, Neptulon, Jade Chieftain, Lesser Sapphire Spellstone, Everyfin is Awesome, Kalimos Primal Lord, Al'Akir the Windlord
D TIer: Pretend these don't exist
Dust Devil, Forked Lightning, Kobold Hermit, Fire Plume Harbringer, Stormcrack, Cryostasis, Stormforged Axe, Drakkari Defender, Primal Talismans, Ice Breaker, Rumbling Elemental, Lotus Illusionist, Dunemaul Shaman, Dranei Totemcarver, Tidal Surge, Avalanche, Charged Hammer, Moorabi, the Mistcaller, Stone Sentinel, The Runespear, Snowfury Giant

Yes this is a salt post. But seriously there is not a single boss I despise more than this awfully designed piece of crap. Was the person who designed this on drugs or something? A masochist? Or simply just too lazy to design an actual intelligent boss that requires strategy. I don't mind the final bosses being a terror to navigate around and require you to draft with them in mind from the very start like the Darkness. When you lose to those kinds of bosses, it feels bad, but you can always point to a play or a pick where you can go "if I had done that differently, it might've turned out better". With King Togwaggle, you can literally play perfectly and get bullshitted by him RNGing the perfect treasure response. There is absolutely no way you can play around him, and there is absolutely no way you can draft to improve your deck's winrate against him. This is the only boss that can beat you even if you drafted a godlike deck and got the dream opening hand, simply because it has a built-in Yogg-Saron like ability to get out of any situation. There are plenty of oppressive bosses in the Dungeon Run, Candlebeard, Sturmi, Blackseed, and the other 4 final bosses can all annihilate you if you're unprepared. But still, you can prepare for them, and when they do rear their ugly heads, you at least know what win conditions you have against them and what strategy you'll need to employ to beat them. You literally cannot do that for King Toggwaggle. The worst part about it is that unlike some of the other oppressive bosses, he's not even fun or interesting. Getting owned by Boots of Haste, Portable Ice Wall, Wand of Disintegration etc just feels awful and doesn't even do anything "cool".
This boss should just be deleted. Dungeon runs are plenty hard with the other 4 potential opponents, and at least those are skill dependent matchups.

Having a most dominant deck doesn't necessarily mean that a meta is cancerous, nor does having a bunch of good decks make for a healthy meta. It's okay to have one deck being the best if there's multiple decks in the meta that can counter it and a huge variety of strategies and archetypes available. The Un'Goro meta, which many people consider the most balanced meta in Hearthstone, had Pirate Warrior as the clear king. You can make Pirate Warrior=cancer jokes all you want, you could easily tech your decks to beat pirate warrior, and all of control, midrange, aggro, and combo were viable, often with multiple strategies open for a single class. Heck even Warrior had a nice control deck going via Taunt Warrior to combat Pirate Warrior. There were very few nerfs necessary because the top classes didn't stifle a plethora of playstyles. Then you have a meta like TgT where the triad of Patron Warrior, Secret Paladin, and Midrange Druid reigned supreme. However, these decks were so oppressive that you either played one of these classes or a class to counter one of them (and get crushed by the others), and led to a very stale meta. As such, all 3 were hit with multiple nerfs to keep them in line and eventually led to the creation of standard to get rid of the problematic cards.
