Rogues got gutted. I can understand the minion damage but the mana increase is overboard.
I also don't see the 'great' cards were getting to compensate for it; the cards all had underwhelming stats which was okay because we had removal to compensate for it. That's no longer the case.
Blade Flurry is really the only nerf I disagree with (I wish Knife Juggler got hit harder) and it seems like most of the community does as well.

I really couldn't care less if you believe me or not, and I'm not sorting through the VODs of the 15th and 16th. I'm a sub and am pretty much always watching the stream, so trust me to remember how he responded to my questions. It's not like it matters, since he evaded the HotS question, which doesn't really mean anything one way or the other.

I wouldn't worry about that. On stream I asked Trump about the hero promotion. He actually knows what it is (but won't say anything) and said he will be doing the promotion to get Tyrande. Trump is extremely cheap and would not buy a new phone just for a hero. I asked him if it was related to Heroes of the Storm, and after an awkward pause, he said, "no comment." Take that to mean what you will.

I'd recommend Death Knight, but.... Kappa

It's a meme deck FailFish Taking this exact deck and running zero cost silence over purify would be like taking a War Golem double Wisp deck and cutting War Golem for Dr. Boom.

I'm aware. You can't cast them on the same turn anyway. The idea is that Purify is so unexpected, they'll never see the combo coming.

You mean you don't play Justicar in your Shaman deck? Kappa

Interesting gimmick potential in constructed. But so bad in arena it's insulting. Imagine top decking this with no board, no minions in hand.

Board clear without random damage? Surely this is a misprint? It's supposed to deal 0-1 damage, right? Kappa
Oh, I get it, they just put the RNG into a random minion spawn. Shaman AOE/RNG balance is still in check Keepo

Combo with ETC to guarantee your opponent has a spell Kappa
