But that doesn't make them deathrattle classes. That's like saying that Priest is a demon class because they got Imprisoned Homunculus. It's not about single cards, but decks that are build around those mechanics. Hadronox is a special case. Yes the deck is build around its deathrattle, but not because of the deathrattle keyword, but because of its specific effect. No one would even think about calling Hadronox druid a deathrattle deck.
Blizz likes to print cards that people like to play, regardless of power (see: Cthun the Shattered, which is terrible). I don't think they tried to make every questline meta-viable, but some of them -- like this one -- are bad _and_ lame.

My issue with Quests (these ones in particular) is that despite the arguably useful mini-rewards they rarely account for the massive downside of having to ditch one mulligan card and sacrifice any turn 1 tempo.
Meh, you need to draw 14 cards in 3 turns. You start with 4, or 5 cards and you draw one every turn, so Kurtus will work only for very few cards. Only reduction cost saves it from being totally useless.
Also does burning card works as a draw? Does it count every draw or resolve after drawing? If u have 3/4 and draw 2, will u end with 1/5 or 0/5? Also with drawing that many cards you risk you burn Kurttus because of full hand (quest rogue could fail that way sometimes).
I can only see this quest being used with Glide for disruption + discounts on your end. Otherwise this is a highly impractical quest. Which....I'm fine with. I don't think DH has been considered "weak" at any point since it came out, so I'm rather happy to see it get a rather mediocre quest and let other classes have huge power swings.
In fact the only way I could see this being a fun/meme thing is to use Far Watch Posts + Glide. Your cards get discounted, your opponents get increased in cost.
I wonder what kind of support this Quest will get. I mean it gets basically no support from anything, so you draw your whole deck, play Kurtrus, and if you’re not dead by then congratulations! Your remaining 4 cards cost 2 less. The only thing I can think to try this with right now is some turbo C’thun deck or maybe an Elwynn Boar meme deck.
Soul DH doesn’t need this quest at all, if you want to play it, the questless version is probably way bette
There's a pretty strong consensus that predict sucks as a mechanic, and a deck type.
This is half right, predict doesn't function well as a self contained wincon by itself, so I'm gonna share some lists that nobody is talking about that will win games with these Champs.
Ash is very strong right now, and Zillian is essentially a self contained leveler that with enough turns is guaranteed to hit a sufficient number of bombs, or will after being replayed.
Ashkan Ekko
A Runeterra Deck created by

Ekko can absolutely join thr burst meta by becoming a part of it with the likes of shaped stone and absolver which pairs nicely with those 12/12 kaherees you'll be throwing down.
For vanilla Zillian Ekko I highly recommend the professor to turn all your one drops into 4/4's at burst speed. It's pretty much the only reason to be running cards like drop boarder.
I've even experimented using ekko outside of shurima and it tends to pair best with Ionia. Hell karma ez is already running a lot of the best predict cards and its pretty obvious why.
Unless dh gets something like Plot Twist or something that shuffles back into deck, it is not extremely impactful, but probably still ok to discount some combo pieces
This looks pretty difficult to pull off, even with all the card draw at Demon Hunter's disposal. This will probably be played in a fast deck, and as others have said before me, the incremental rewards alone are enough to make this viable. Cost reductions are still incredibly huge in the game.
I'm also loving the flavor of the card. Kurtrus' final showdown with Anetheron looks really exciting! Too bad Anetheron himself is such a crap card in this expansion...
First off - it is 2021 and amazing that this is still going on and the words - "minorities and women weren't treated equally" shouldn't be something we say in 2021.
Great for Mike speaking up now but this is a problem that goes back when he was CEO. It was part of the culture and still is. Where was he then?
Only now when Blizzards name is trashed he comes out?!
Weening myself away but I have un-installed Hearthstone and discovering a lot of great games out there that are actually better than Hearthstone. It has been liberating. I can't support a company that has a pattern of decades of abuse. Maybe now, finally, we can rise up and say this isn't the culture we want as it most compares to white supremacy groups.
We should speak up against the abuse and seriously start cleaning house till the gamer culture is more inclusive and is fun for everyone!! Anyone who supports the abuse or participates in it should be banned, ignored, and barred from having a voice. As much as people scream about the 1st Amendment - that has nothing to do with this if you know anything about #1A and it surely should not protect hate. Words have impact.
I feel that if you are going to have a deck with so much card draw you will end up with few cards that actually do something. I think this will only see play in combo decks since in combos you only need some specific cards to win.
Reminder: Time is Running Out to Finish the Fire Festival Legendary Quests for Druid of the Flame Malfurion
Do we have an actual exact time on this?

I see this getting adjusted to 3/4/5 before it becomes playable, maybe even 3/4/4.

So maybe this will inspire everyone to realize that predict is a lot more flexible then people think.
