I don't think Demolition Renovator will see any play unless it has a bonus effect besides destroying a location something like a +1/+1 or something.

I get it the design intent of updating Demolition Renovator for new and casual players to see what works and doesn't in deck building but I wouldn't mind if the card were actually made worthwhile. 

I acutally think that it doesnt matter if it gets stats or not it won't see play unless there is a real need for it and if its just one or possibly two classes that relies on locations it won't see play but if we see a meta where pretty much every deck relies and have strong locations it will be a must have in control decks and even some other decks aswell.

Kinda like the Viper if it only countered a single class it wouldnt matter if it got +1/+1 for destroying a weapon it wouldnt see play. The Viper is played because so many decks has weapons you want to counter.

Stats is never the reason to why counters don't see play its if its a real need for it or not.

Why does their decks looks like arena decks in their video

No cinematic no preorder. 

You shouldn't preorder period lol. 
They aren't making cinematics because you are paying for the game. They are making cinematics to market the game so that you pay for the game.

Not making cinematic or board can only mean that they have 10 years worth of player base that will continue to pay for the game regardless of cost cutting decisions they make.

They probably make game boards for $$ later. Blizzard greed is increasing.
They tested the waters with exp nerf changes and saw how much the community doesn't care, and now we will just keep losing more things.

 Back in old days mini-set was available only for  $$$ - now you can buy it for gold, even all-gold version.
With new reward track system I have more gold, while I play less HS - for example right now I have over 8300 gold prepared for new expansion launch...
And there is more & more cosmetics available for gold, not only for $$$... But somehow the game have to earn money for itself...
But hey - their greed is increasing...

You're not taking into consideration the fact that the number of legendaries per class has nearly doubled 
The collection is much larger than it used to be, for "more gold". Not a lot more gold.

Take into consideration the amount of gold / amount of dust you actually need and you'll see you come out at a considerable disadvantage.

In what old days were mini-sets only available for money? As far as I know you could always use in-game gold for all mini-sets that came out since Darkmoon Faire (also for Galakrond's Awakening beforehand).

There was a time period when adventures could not be purchased with gold anymore (at least if you didn't own at least the first wing), but even then, the access was only temporarily limited, so it was still possible in the "old days", and fortunately again nowadays.

Yeah, I'm with @Dunscot. The first Mini-Set was Darkmoon Races, which was (shockingly) 4 years ago, and it always was purchable for 2000G, which in my opinion is still the best deal in HS history.

In the old days you had Adventures, and they also always were available for gold. (700G per chapter if I remember correctly) for a total of 3500G the whole Adventure. Which was basically 30 New cards.

Now you get 5 more cards, for 1500G less gold and all at once (before wings were realised weeckly), with the only sacrifice of losing the PvE content, that it was kinda fun. But it was a good change overall.

And I am a free to play player since HS Beta. And let me tell you something, the game is MILES more accecible that how it was before, earning gold is way faster, the daily quest are a lot more generous, the Rarity Protection rule saves you TONs of gold. You get a lot of free Legendaries, just by playing the game. It's way, way more casual friendly than ever.

The only thing that never was updated, and for that reason is still the worst trade you can do in my opinion, it's the Arcane Dust. 

First mini set released was Darkmoon Races, it was always for 2000gold.

As someone that has played the game for a long time I don't think the game is more expensive now than before its similair true enough more legendaries but we also get more free stuff than before aswell, as long as you do the dailys the game has always been pretty friendly. I won't claim that I've spent nothing on the game because I have and its nothing wrong with that if you enjoy a game and spend 20-30 mins on it everyday it makes sense to support it aswell but out of all the packs I've gotten over 95%+ has been from ingame gold. I've bought like 160 packs over the years two preorders and it was mainly due to taking a break from the game and didnt get the dailys done so if I had played I could have gotten em from gold.

Every rotation I dust the previous year apart for cards I really love and want to keep and cards I think is really good and have a spot in wild if I ever try my luck there.

Now I'm sitting at over 20k gold and 86k dust, I usally get 80 packs and open and if I'm happy with the outcome I don't get anymore and since we get like 10 additional packs from promotions etc its usally close to 90. That way I spent around 10k gold each expansion including the miniset and I gain around 10k+ gold per expansion from just the dailys and weeklies more the more I play. I also get something around 4-5k dust per expansion in pure dust from duplicates so thats 3 legendaries i can craft. Not to mention the big payout at rotation in dust. My dust keeps going up all though I usally craft 4-5 legenadries every set of course in between expansions I can drop some but overall across the entire year I keep going up.

OMG, there is really no board! That makes me so sad. That was something that made hs special in every new expansion. 
A great board, combined with great background music. So flavourfull, so interesting, so extraordanary combined with the card game itself...

=(

theyre glad they dont need to make a new version of transfer student

I agree. Well, honestly, I found the outrage a bit silly, but I do like new boards and most importantly the communication of this is awful and embarrassing. Instead of coming out and saying they won't do it for reason XYZ, it was just silence and shrugging it off. I really hope it will remain an exception.

Why not keep the whelp at 1/1 instead of risk anything, it was way to powerful at 2 mana feels like a nerf to 3 mana was warranted without buffing its stats. One turn later but more equipped to contest the board.

I love the return of Renovator we need these counters in the game to keep any one specific thing from running out of control. Counters are something I don't mind if they are being kept forever in Standard, instead of reprinting em because lets face it a new destroy your opponents weapon isnt intresting at all.

Whats also good with counters is they will never completely ruin a single deck because it requires more than one deck to warrant a counter card in your deck. Like Viper if it was only one class with weapons I wouldnt go near it but now everyone and their grandmothers got access to pretty good weapons that its in your best intrest to destroy.

Complete the rewards track to earn 6 Perils in Paradise packs
and on screen there is whizbang packs , also drops get us whoping 2 perils packs damn, why do they just change it ? i remember this drops before expansion was like 8+ pack from new expansion not from all old expansions

No cinematic, no new game board.
