Ah, yeah I should have parsed that with my sarcastic goggles on. No. I was beign serious. It;s a good thing they balance quickly and decisively at the start and not let the critics of the game mode have a legitimate reason to complain.
It's still likely that the game mode is not totally balanced (mage seems very strong) but Robes is just....broken. Glad they realized that quickly and went to remove it.
Pandaria seems a very obvious area of the game that has not been touched upon, but I'm going to assume they want to keep that until they can introduce the Monk class.
Other than that I would love a return of the Scourge and the Undead. Maybe do Duskwood?
Another area that's not been done, but IS a game board is Stranglethorn Vale, with it's Pirate city of Booty Bay. I recently played through those zones again and it was great fun. LOADS of memorable characters and diversity. Hemet Nesingwary has ties to the zone, there's a troll city and I mentioned Pirates already. I think you could definitely do something with it. Even just doing a Pirate expansion might be great fun, with Booty Bay and the feud between the Bloodsail Buccaneers and the Blackwater Raiders as a central theme could be great.
Related to that, you could also do a expansion based on the Goblins, and their trade cartels (instead of concentrating on their proclivity to make things go BOOM!). That's not a topic that's seen all that much coverage in WoW either, so it would be something where the Hearthstone team could stretch it;s creative muscles. :D
One of the all time great unforseen runs by ETC this weekend, and honestly since the start of the Round Robin stages. From going to retire to one game away from going to the World Championship. Kudos to him, and he will be missed.
I think the problem is not so much that it is easy to relegate, but that it is so very hard to get promoted into GM.
If it was not a ridiculous grind to qualify for tournaments and get a chance then players might not give up on competing as easily for it.
With the way the current qualifying works, it's just almost impossible to combine with a streaming career, since so much of what you do on ladder and in tournaments would not be possible to be streamed if you were doing it seriously (stream sniping). And also your preparation would nto be ideal if you had to combine it with the rigors of streaming frequently and doing YouTube videos.
Being Devil's Advocate for a second though: It does mean that the players that make it into GM and compete are some of the most serious and competitive players in HS, cause they have grinded their ass off to just even get there. especially the newer GM's.

Game mode not even out 36 hours and already balance changes. Good start!

7:30 the stream starts with a countdown, then at 8am the actual broadcast will start (or there abouts).

From the launcher. So I'm guessing this is related.

Can still do it manually. Go to whatever deck you want to keep safe, hover over the name of the deck and you will get this:
Press "Copy" button, which gives you the code on your computer.
Then go to HearthPwn, go to the Deckbuilder and paste the code into the box shown here:
Then just do what you normally would when saving a deck on the site.
That's all. :)

Good changes. Let's hope it's enough.
Sorc apprentice + cheap spells is more the problem I think, but we will see if this curbs Mages a little.

Darkmoon Faire! :D
But maybe we get more than just new expansion reveal :O
