at the begining of the meta it was nearly n autoinclude when agro-warlock did not even become zoo 2 was enough to kill anything ( come on mani berserker was considered a resistent 2 drop)

when you wake up the next day and realised that you went asleep in the midle of the match..... (play  HS on bed)

man is obvious... 

savage roar in case of counterspelll, and warth topdeck kazan mistic. Atac with the sheep face to take ice bariier, play kezan and gg!!!

NAXXX WAS 6 HOURS EARLY........ GVG IS AT LEAST 20 H EARLIER

I have played this card multiple times and have had it played against me. When it was played against me i was sure to track the hand of the opponent to see where the card was until it was played. In total i saw it played around 30 times, here are the result in a fancy pie-chart!

There general consensus here is that 45% of the time you are getting minimal value out of this card, and 55% of the time you are getting excellent value out of it, meaning you are getting 4-7+ drops not the 1-3 mana drops. The sample is small but still a good representation of how this card works without just taking every card and deducing the %s.

3 is already full avlue so in your pie it is 1/3 of the time less value and the rest pure value!!!

went 12-1 with mage.... the deck was quite standard except for 2 unstable portals that gived me crazy rng...

in 4-0 i got while topdecking neptulon from it

in 6-1 i got hogger vs priest... on turn 4

in 7-1 vs a warrior got thr blightron, getting thr 5/2 hunters bow for both.

in 10-1 i had a turn 1 mecanical spider ( coined the portal)

in 11-1 i ahd it in opening hand and could played a trun 3 cairne!!

 put a vnailla stats body... if you topdeck in altegame is worth nothing...

looks to me like a worst asasinate.... 1 mana for random... and combo at 4 for a destroy weapon.

4 mana 5/4.... it PASES the vanilla test ... (even if we all know that 4/5 is better than 5/4! but in vanilla test they are equal!!!) so for one overlaod it gets WF?? it is a decent card. doest it fit traditional midrange shaman??? NO... 0 instant baord impact and in turn 4 you are overloaded 80% of the time.... But it could works wonders in an aggro shaman!

early i dusted golden ancient of lore... i recrafted not long time ago... also 2 sylvanas dusted BEFORE slyvanas nerf...

so if a card is "very powerful" it doesnt need a nerf but if its "a little bit too efficient" it does?  come on man

still feel that undertaker should get only attack buff.

"new players could find the game harder to get into, and harder to learn, the more cards we add." harder to learn? not rly.  harder to get in to when you go up against a full pay2warrior on ranks 20-15 and you realize how much gold you need for classic, gvg and naxx while doing 40g dailys? the most problem i have when convincing new friends to this game is convincing them its not pay2win. rly curious what solutions unique to blizzard they have in mind.

also pls pls add option to chose which pack you get as arena reward. just add a pack token you can exchange in shop for any pack you want and give them an expiration date of like a week so ppl cant stock pile them for new expands. cant be that hard

ps. this always makes me laugh

I won't blame players for playing the most rewarding deck, but i blame Blizzard for a bad game design.

So in your opinion there should no cheap and easy to play deck you can be fairly successful with? What about just locking new players from the game completely then?

Aggro and Zoo decks are a thing in every TCG and these kind of decks are pretty much known for being viable at a comparably cheap cost. There is nothing wrong with that especially since they are far from being the best decks in the game. They can be easily outplayed by most decks. 

They offer nice decks to play for new and unexperienced players due to having "low entry restrictions" and even serve well at teaching those players the basics of the game especially with Zoo relying on positioning and board control. 

So to sum up my point: There is nothing wrong with the concept of Aggro or Zoo decks and both playstyles in their current form are viable and balanced at this point.

What about giving new players a safe and fair play environment?

"Professional" aggro decks will eat a new player's aggro deck for breakfast, twice before lunch, thrice for lunch, four times between lunch and dinner, ten times for dinner and then all over the afternoon and through the night.

Just like Magic the Gathering -- they're really going to struggle to keep new players online:

New player --> Faces 8-hours-per-day players in 9/10 matches, where the best case scenario is that the "professional player" is playing on one of his several alternative accounts with the smallest collection.
A new player to Magic the Gathering has a far higher chance at winning his local Friday Night Magic tournament than winning four consequtive game in a row versus random opponents on MTGO's "Casual" play room.

Both arena and ranked should have several leagues that separates new and bad players from good and experienced players, into more layers than just MMR and rank:

Common League
Rare League
Epic League
Legendary League

The same should apply to arena:
It's not fair that new arena players with less than 10 arenas and no arena tools on their 0/0 deck is faced against a player on his 400th arena who has tracked 300 of them and used multiple tools during the draft to optimize his deck.
Even at 0-2, the new player should be spared facing that other player at 0-2:
A professional boxer with two losses in a row should NOT be pitted against a junior amateur just because he lost twice in a row.

ALL SPORTS have leagues, for an extremely good reason:
There's those that practice 8 hours per day, those that practice 2 hours per day and those that practice 6 hours per week, and those that practice 2 hours per week.

Perhaps Blizzard should just implement additional rewards for those who have the 'skill' needed to run a 'proper' deck.  I am still baffeled by the people who claim that deck X has an unfair advantage.  If it's true, then just run the thing and reap the benefits.  I suppose people will say that they want to play a more stimulating deck or some similar hogwash, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

And if people are cheating on their taxes through a loophole in the law, why not cheat on the taxes yourself?
BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

But by the gods, it's tempting to just crush all the bad players with overpowered decks and take hope and fun away from other players, causing frustration and misery for other people in real life just to get more gold.

But that is exactly why I don't do it:
It is wrong.
It does cause misery and frustration, and I feel miserable when I make other people feel miserable.
If everyone does it, everyone will be worse for it.

when is the reveal? in how many hours??

Now, it's 14:34 CET. Reveal is around 19:00 CET usually. 

i'm so hyped for this tournament. gonna be sad if Kolento doesn't advance but it's Kolento so he's going to advance because Kolento.

 The Angry Chicken needs to be nerfed! This card is way OP all you need is a minor buff and a way to make it damaged and then BOOM! It's got 5 more attack. I mean come on Magma Rager at least costs 2 more mana for his awesomeness.
