Absolutely! Hope this major patch comes sooner than later.

QoL improvements are not the strenght of Team 5, sadly.

Imp Gang Boss doesn't have anti sinergy with Bloodreaver Gul'dan?

A better option would be Voidcaller, in my opinion.

BaiZe is bae.

I totally disagree with you:

• Uther of the Ebon Blade is an amazing card which its only fault is that it does not have a strong archetype to support it. It adds a new hero power that does not change the mechanic of the deck, and a weapon which is strong by itself. At the moment, Control Paladin is suboptimal compared to Murloc Paladin and other aggro variants, but once they give Paladin more tools outside the murloc package, Uther will certainly his time to shine.
• Deathstalker Rexxar has much the same problem, it's a strong card without a powerful archetype to build around, and even so, Rexxar has pretty much infinite value, dropping threat after threat and sometimes that is enough to secure a win. It's up to Blizzard if he will fail in time or will be a blast.

•  Valeera the Hollow has an amazing design, but its way overcosted to represent a threat. I know that would break the game to have it at 6 mana, but 9 is too much, and the only archetype that I can see a spot for her is Miracle, which does not have the high burst potential as once had, of self healing to keep up with aggro. She needs a complete set intended to back up Miracle to be more than a tier 2 at best.

I would wait and see if they still work:

• Frost Lich Jaina is very fun to play, but whenever Mage was top tier, was with archetypes far from what Jaina gives.
• Scourgelord Garrosh has an amazing weapon which supports control, maybe he shows value in future sets.

Has potential, but can be replaced:

• Malfurion the Pestilent good right now, but Jade is loosing ground to other decks and Druids are going back to aggro. If that remains, Malfurion certainly will see a decrease in play, beeing present only in Control/Ramp decks, and only if these archetypes get some love in the future.
• Thrall, Deathseer has its power in the numbers, and while he has some good token generation now, he will loose Evolve and Doppelgangster, which might be enough to bury Evolve Shaman in Standard.

Will go out in a blaze of glory:

• Shadowreaper Anduin is an amazing card, in an amazing archetype. Sadly when Raza the Chained rotates out, he will only be used as mass removal, and that might not be enough. But since Anduin is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve, he will forever see play in Wild and only that possibility made me rethink the value of Wild Mode to the game.

Is one step away from beeing a meta tyrant:

• Bloodreaver Gul'dan is amazing, but I will think forever that he should cost 8 mana. That beeing said, he needs only a good demon to jump from playable to meta crusher. And I'm really looking foward to that. I mourned the nerf of the old Handlock, and would love to see a strong control archetype coming back to Warlock. And I must add that I hate what Team 5 does to Warcraft lore. Mal'ganis would be a perfect addition to KFT, matching perfectly the Northrend theme, but they screwed up tossing him in a loreless expansion he had nothing to do. Another card ahead of its time. But Wild is here to stay, and I'll definitely rock a Highlander Warlock with Kruul, Mal'ganis, and Gul'dan as crowned king.

Hearthstone is NO LONGER Heroes of Warcraft... Its just Hearthstone ... So its not supposed to be connected to World of Warcraft lore.

I'm just waiting now to see how their going to go about the new druid hero skin and what their going to make the players do to achieve that one once it's released. lol, maybe travel to the otherside of the world and back to claim it? xD

Lame.

I was expecting Kanrethad Ebonlocke but we'll get a joke as replacement.

Only if Team 5 check out the lore characters once in a while instead of just ignoring it. I know, I know, they want freedom to create. But they could just tap from it from time to time to give us pieces of some of the richest game contents out there.

Now I know that instead of Hamuul Runetotem for Druid we'll get Clunky Funkylog, a young troll druid which can only transform into puppies, cause you know, Team 5 is all about cute and really wants to stick with the "children's card game" theme.

That's not the point.

The point is this specific gnome wasn't even a warlock to start with, and there are infinitely better options in the lore to fulfill the spot.

And if you want to talk about WoW, I can name Kanrethad Ebonlocke, or Jubekka Shadowbreaker as better options, just to begin...

NO. Don't ever purge a class of its cards!! The short-term gain is countered by the massive long-term loss. Completing gold-quests, adventures/missions where you need to play them, or just simply changing your mind later; all of these would be undone if you were to do such a thing.

Now, if you were to list off said Legendaries and Epics that you have, we could discuss if some of them might be worth dusting. But never destroy all of them (unless they're irredeemably bad, I guess, but that is exceptionally rare).

Will there be another major patch before rotation? It is a bit sad to see Rustwix going out this way, it is a fun card.

We received your bug reports about Tamsin’s Phylactery not working with Rustwix Envoy. The fix for that bug was not done in time to make it into this patch, but we expect it to come in the next major update.

If it's another pirate addon, i m out, srsly, stop doing it.

23K dust?!?!?!? :O

I mainly play wild and I have to say that that mix of old good decks, that have survived from nerfhammer, and new archetypes brought by recent expansions is making wild feel more fresh than standard format. Okay, every time when new expansions is released decks played in standard are completely fresh but after 1 month until the next expansions it feels like meh, just a few common archetypes what 70% of the players are playing. But the wild is like you never know what to expect, okay there is still those decks modified from standard meta but variety of decks is much more higher than in standard. Start of the wild and standard launch wild did not have so much cards that cannot be used in standard but now wild is getting to that state what makes it much more fun than standard for me.

"Class defining cards are good, but auto-include cards into decks isn't their design goal"

I'm so sick of this complete non-sense argument. First of all, that discussion ever only applies to a few classes, you never hear Hex or Kill Command being discussed in this context for instance. Second of all, Swipe being an auto-include in most druid decks might have something to with druid never getting any AoE or decent removal of any kind. I'm not saying they should, I'm just saying that Swipe being an auto-include is due to the fact that druids never get anything to even remotely replace it.

Do druids need some kind of nerf? It's quite possible but please, for the love of god, cease this retarded argument about auto-includes when you're obviously aren't going to be consistent with it.
