Guardian Animals deck with moonfang against a boss that makes all their tokens poisonous? Who the fuck designs these challenges? Does anyone playtest them at all?
Low on health. Only a few cards in hand with no real options for a comeback. Opponent is the same. Opponent shuffles Shattered C'thun into deck. I play Far Watch Post. Opponent immediately topdecks C'thun the following turn, and Watch Post doesn't fucking go off? That cost me the game. I don't know if that's a glitch or intended, but it's fucking bullshit either way. (11) cost cards exist in the game, and there's plenty of other ways to force someone's card to cost (11), there's no fucking reason why that wouldn't work there.
It's i the card's text it can't make cards cost more than (10)
Latest expansions they have been working on making stuff that won't consistently make cards cost more than (10), because it sucks to have zero control about having a card completely unplayable or not.
Other examples of cards that make stuff cost more than (10) are either situational like Freezing Trap, that requires you attacking into it with the super expensive minion, are effects that will go off if the minion dies like Mana Wraith or Nerubian Unraveler, or are effects that only last one turn like Loatheb.
Having an uncounterable way to have a card unplayable for the rest of the game is bullcrap.
Ah fuck, you're right, the card literally says it right there lol. I'm significantly less angry about that match now. Still, that's lame, disruption that's designed exclusively to disrupt should be able to disrupt.

This was actually pretty fun, considering the last few books of heroes. It's appreciated that you actually get to choose your hero power, rather than being given a useless one.
The reason Blizzard are making the artificial distinction is they don't want to give players cards, they want to loan them for the season (and remove them later). I.e. because they are greedy.
This whole "Blizzard are so greedy" shtick is becoming very overdone. What is being described is not even "greed". It's entitlement (again). For example:
Entitled guy : Hey that's a nice car! Wish I had one like that. Other guy : Oh, well here's the keys. You can borrow it for a bit. Entitled guy : You mean it's mine to keep, right? Other guy : No, I'm lending it to you so you can use it. I can't just give it to you for free. Entitled guy : Ehrmegherd! You is liek, so grEeDy!
What? That metaphor doesn't work AT ALL. The Core Set isn't just a free bonus, it's a REPLACEMENT of the basic and classic sets. People earned classic cards, built up a collection of them, and Blizzard decided that even classic wasn't safe from being rotated. Better example:
Guy: You sold my car? The one that I owned and paid for?
So in this match, my opponent used the card Scorch twice, both times on an empty board against a single minion, with no spell damage affectors or anything like that, and both times it dealt 3 damage instead of 4. Is this a known glitch or something? Is it nerfed and they forgot to update it?
Yep, that's the standard. Blizz does one keyword per expansion, and those keywords are specific to those expansions, with VERY few outliers. They'll even actively avoid reusing old expansion-based keywords on new cards that have nearly identical functions, completely based on this arbitrary rule they made.
Well, I played wild until I reached Platinum rank and from there forward all I see are 3 decks, Secret Mage, Zoo Self-Damage Warlock and Resurrect Big Priest.
All the cards in the world made available and people just netdeck and play 3 decks. Why people buy packs with real money for if they end up using a very small limited pool of them?
I realize that am probably exaggerating things but playing Wild just proved to be the same as Standard. People netdecking with no promise of experimenting and making their own homebrewed decks. I am curious what happens with the physical TCG, if they too experience netdecking
Rant over.
It’s easy to just say “haha someone’s mad, salt thread’s that way”, but honestly this point is hard to argue with. People don’t use “casual” to be “casual” in either game mode, and in wild that’s pretty exhausting. I don’t think there’s really anything that can be done about it, though. People like winning, and nothing is (or should be) stopping them from playing a deck that wins in the game mode where theyre supposed to play whatever deck they want.
It's wild that they're trying to push deathrattle Demon Hunter without printing any cards that actually payoff for playing deathrattle Demon Hunter. Reminds me of a certain Shaman theme.
Let me guess a good payoff would be a 2 mana 10/10 summon all deathrattle from your decks, give them charge taunt and lifesteal ?
Considering that all of the "deathrattle Demon Hunter" cards seem to be aiming at cheating out lots of low-cost deathrattle minions, how about something that sticks, like a mini Rattlegore? Or just anything worth cheating out in general? They'd really need a few worthwhile 4-drop deathrattles to go with that legendary and Razorfen Beastmaster.

Guy: Can I at least keep that one?
Other Guy: No. You're borrowing it.
Guy: Okay... Is it new at least?
Other Guy: Somewhat.

I mean... can’t knock em for telling the truth so bluntly. But this is hilarious. A straight up “un-patch” notes.

Hero power mage and watchtower rally priest (even though neither will ever win an actual match)

I agree. 4 health really should've been what they went with. A 2 mana 1/3 won't stick, it'll literally never go off.

I’d like a win condition on SOMETHING, I’m not picky at this point.
