I'm sorry but I'm super pissed. My idea was captured and almost copied by the person who submitted Wurdread the Devastator. I'd usually refrain from submitting my version in this case because that will probably hurt both our scores, but frankly speaking I'm convinced that my card is better and I'm angry enough to rather go down with the other person than let them get away with this. It's even more outrageous that Demon's idea got copied 1:1 which results in me rating Dreavus, Mad Ritualist with 1 star (just like Wurdread). If that's voting manipulation, feel free to DQ me.
If one of those two contestants reads this and feels falsely accused of plagiarizing they are invited to come out and explain themselves. I might change my opinion (and my vote) if you're able to convince me.
For the time being, I'd like to echo Demon's advice that everybody should check the Discussion Thread and start communicating with other people to avoid these situations. I've DMed people for far less close similarities between their idea and mine because I wanted to get their thumps up before submitting. If copying promising ideas from the Discussion Thread becomes a thing we have a huge problem on our hands and I'm really not sure how it could be dealt with.
To finish my little rant with something positive, I'm very happy with the amount of feedback given this week and will provide some more myself when I've calmed down.
What is going on? Something isn't right, does Bobby know about this?
Very welcome news.
On the flip side I think it's admittance that watch towers didn't really go as planned and that is disappointing as I thought they were really interesting. Clearly Far Watch Post is too strong with 4 health but not strong enough with 3.
All of your problems in Hearthstone boil down to this excuse. Stop merely "hedging" and start making an effort to actually improve. Good players make their own "luck." (Sarcasm quotes because luck has nothing to do with it -- it only appears to be luck to those who don't know what's really going on.)
As for conceding, it depends on your goals. If you are looking to climb quickly, conceding can save you a lot of time. If you are in it for pure enjoyment, concede in bad matchups that you know you won't enjoy. Good luck with that, though. The meta is awful, and it's not going to get better anytime soon.
Let's see...at the very minimum I'll get 800 dust and two legendary cards for $20.00. Meh
Tempting, but I know how Blizzard likes to roll when it comes to opening packs....they love to deploy the pity timer before they ever give away a few too many good cards. 5 packs is not enough to trigger the pity timer.
Thank you for spending time in my collection, but sadly we will shortly have to part ways. We did have a little fun in a janky deck I played, but I think it might be better if I convert you to dust shortly to replace you with something better.
I hope you will accept my sincere(ish) apologies for this, but owing to changing circumstances I find myself unable to permit your continued existence in my collection.
Good stuff Blizzard. I mean, this should have been already included in this patch, but I'll take it, nicely done. :)
On a side note, they said they fixed the dust bug, but I got a new one instead?
Before, the game sometimes stated a wrong number of cards which can be dusted, but the dust amount was right (at least Blizz said so), but now after opening some packs I noticed that I "get" every card twice, along its dustable amount. For example I opened a pack with 4 commons + 1 rare, go to my collection manager -> 80 dust added to the dustable amount, but normally it's just 40.
Am i tripping or what is happening? At the moment I have around 13k dust saved and I don't really wanna test it with all of it (you never know when some cards might be nerfed).
Someone else maybe noticed something similar in this patch?
It's not exactly scientific or anything, but the ONLY difference I have personally noticed is that Rogue has been replaced with Control Warlock (as predicted).
I could see this at a tech card against certain decks that like to upgrade their hero power or use hero cards, and this is more punishing than other options such as Mindbreaker or Blowtorch Saboteur. I'm not sure that I like the idea of hurting your hero power that much as well though, and it could hurt its viability as a tech option.

I think Resurrection Project is a little weak. Resurrecting minions to your hand is slower than drawing cards, and I could see the same card without the symmetrical effect at 1 mana. I could see this at 0 mana or adding 2 minions instead.
Ultimate Redemption is really cool, though I think it is too expansive imo. Hard to judge, but I don't expect that big of a board, even if you manage to run minions that are much bigger than your opponents.

I like Booby Trap Project. It might not be much of an advantage, but Hunter has secret synergies that this could fit into decks.
I think Dynamo Project looks underpowered compared to Mana Burn. 1 more for your opponent in exchange for 3 overload doesn't sound like a good deal.
Double Agent has nice flavor. The randomness factor might be better if it put in a random rogue secret, so both secrets have a similar value.

Brightspark Engineer's wording is quite clunky, so it reads weird even if its not supposed to be complicated. Something like this might work: "Battlecry: Each player draws a card (draws mechs if possible)."
Chaotic Notetaker is very nice and flavorful. Could be annoying to face, but I guess that's part of the charm.

I'm not sure I quite understand the effect. Do both players draw a card, then get a copy of the card the other player drew, so they end up "drawing" 2 cards each?

It's a good stalling tool, but it could also backfire pretty badly as it could prevent you from damaging your opponent without killing yourself. Not sure if it's consistent enough for decks to run.

If you're keeping the RR watermark, I would make it discard lowest-cost cards because that's how discard worked in that expansion, and it would lessen the saltiness factor if both players could anticipate what would get discarded.

Talon King Terokk could be played as a Twisting Nether with a 7/7 body, so I think that its too strong.
I like Personality Thief's design, but I don't see the connection between the flavor and the effect.
I like Balance Keeper as well. The effect might seem inconsequential, but I could see druid taking advantage of it in a tempo deck.

Interesting idea, but this will probably end up being win more in practice. If your opponent ends up not using their mana, they're falling behind in tempo and are in trouble anyways.

Dear Mr Kargal Battlescar
Thank you for spending time in my collection, but sadly we will shortly have to part ways. We did have a little fun in a janky deck I played, but I think it might be better if I convert you to dust shortly to replace you with something better.
I hope you will accept my sincere(ish) apologies for this, but owing to changing circumstances I find myself unable to permit your continued existence in my collection.
