Hi Sammy! My experience is extremely tangential, but maybe it will spur on others to respond.
Last year I finally upgraded my phone from an S6 to an S21. I only play HS on my phone and haven't noticed a big difference while playing in Standard. However, the shop, achievements, and collections pages all load much faster on the new phone. Unfortunately, I don't play enough BG to confidently say if it improved performance there, but the animations run smoothly atm.
FWIW, I started playing ~6yrs ago and my friends mostly played on iPads at that time. Even those old versions ran the game beautifully well, though there was no BG back then.
TL;DR - I think your GF will love playing on any modern tablet.
This one seems quite weird. I guess it's awesome when buffed, but it doesn't seem to be great on its own. Time will tell if there are ways to abuse its effect, though.
It's not the best thing ever, but it's versatile and can stall games when necessary. Not sure it'll see play, but it's always nice to have additional ways to heal up, specially with Libram of Hope going away.
All you proved with your post is that you don't understand how probabilities work. The odds to open something are calculated in aggregate - they in no way guarantee a particular distribution over a small sample size.
That doesn't mean their stated odds are wrong, and I really wouldn't trust the average person to correctly calculate the statistics from anecdotal evidence, especially when human psychology is determined to remember the bad times over the good.
I doubt they'd ever change their averages, but they could modify the distribution to reduce the variance to cut out the 'feels bad' gaps of 30-40 packs between legendaries. It would come alongside a reduction in the number of highroll pack openings, but I expect it would be a net improvement to how people feel on average without them losing any profit.
I'd be amazed if they ever let us buy entire expansions straight up, especially with gold. How would that even work for them? If we get enough gold from the rewards track frequent players wouldn't ever have to spend money, and if we don't get enough gold then it doesn't really help anyway. You could say profit comes primarily from cosmetics in this case, but they've told us cosmetics are a small fraction of their profits, so that's not a realistic option.
I love the art and flavor. Not sure if it'll actually be any good, but as someone who loves the concept of an Affliction Warlock, I'll be sure to give it a try!

New Priest Spell - Switcheroo
It's a nice card draw, and the effect is interesting. Curious to see what comes of it!
New Priest Spell - Whispers of the Deep
This is a very strange card. Will Silence Priest finally be an actual thing? I doubt it, but it would be a nice change!
Does Any Body Know If...

New Priest Spell - Whirlpool
Feels like a very strong card, even though it's quite expensive. Might be worth running at least a copy of it, though.
New Priest Minion - Priestess Valishj
This is going to make Priest all the more annoying to deal with...
New Paladin Minion - Seafloor Savior
This one seems quite weird. I guess it's awesome when buffed, but it doesn't seem to be great on its own. Time will tell if there are ways to abuse its effect, though.
New Paladin Minion - Bubblebot
Good stats, super strong effect. Mech Paladin should become a thing, since it's getting some nice support for the archetype!
New Paladin Spell - Immortalized in Stone
Lots of stats for its cost, so it should see some play. Very nice tool to have against more aggressive decks!
New Paladin Spell - Holy Maki Roll
It's not the best thing ever, but it's versatile and can stall games when necessary. Not sure it'll see play, but it's always nice to have additional ways to heal up, specially with Libram of Hope going away.
New Hunter Spell - Conch's Call
Powerful draw, specially when Hunter is getting access to strong Naga cards. I can see it being played!
New Hunter Weapon - Harpoon Gun
Very strong card, even without taking the Beast part into consideration. Might be worth running for the stats and Dredge alone.
New Hunter Spell - Urchin Spines
It's cheap and strong, so it might be worth running since it also resets the hero power for Quest Hunter. Not a bad defensive tool to have!

New Paladin Minion - Azsharan Mooncatcher
Seems like a solid card, even without the Mech synergy. Even if Mech Paladin doesn't become a thing, it'll still be good in the arena.
New Hunter Minion - Hydralodon
Not sure how viable this will be, but I love the art and the concept. I'd play it just because it's awesome!
New Priest Minion - Blackwater Behemoth
Really strong anti aggro tool, but Priest already has plenty of those. It'll be hard for this to earn a spot in any deck.
New Priest Spell - Azsharan Ritual
Doesn't seem great. Not that it's necessarily a bad card, but I can't see what its purpose would be with the cards we currently have available.
New Druid Minion - Dozing Kelpkeeper
Insanely strong card, given how easy it is to activate. Will definitely see play.

New Shaman Minion - Wrathspine Enchanter
The stats are weak, and the targets are random, so I'm not sure this will see any play.
New Druid Minion - Green-Thumb Gardener
Seems like a strong card. It should be easy enough to at least make it a free 5/5, so I can see it being ran in spell Druid!
New Shaman Spell - Azsharan Scroll
Very versatile and has great value. I can see this being played in most Shaman decks, since it's very solid!
New Druid Spell - Seaweed Strike
Seems solid, but don't think the effect has enough of an impact to justify it being ran. Great spell to discover in some situations, though!
New Warlock Minion - Za'qul
I love the art and flavor. Not sure if it'll actually be any good, but as someone who loves the concept of an Affliction Warlock, I'll be sure to give it a try!
