Opened 100 packs and got 9 legendaries, 3 of which were golden, and another 2 were in the same pack. Considering I didn't spend any real money this is probably the best pack opening I've had.
@Demonxz95 You're right! The watermark... ffs... That's what happens when you do everything in a rush thinking "now or I won't be able to later"... What a shame...
Well here's some feedback.

I find it more fitting in druid than hunter for the flavor, even if druid isn't a secret class. Balance-wise it's good, the opponent can still have lethal with spells, and destroys aggro players dreams which I'm ok with

Either busted AF, or just a joke against a control deck with access to little face damage. So it's an effect that's really reaaaally hard to balance.

While these is certainly a slow secret, its like a powerhouse in the right match up. Against aggro would be a thing of dreams to play this, get the effect and then play an Explosive Trap and enjoy the "free" +2/+2. But yeah, it can be a dead card in the deck and by when you draw it doesn't affect anything. At the same time, art and flavor fit's Hunter like a glove.

I love memy-rng stuff, but oh boy… Ice Block fused with Yogg… No no no… Think about the "fill your hand with spells"… Yeah in usual Hearthstone behavior they would still cost 0 in your turn. So, just by that, no no no… Something like "cast random spells equal to damage dealt" or cast X random spells would be more than enough IMO (And still be broken, soft Yogg for 3 mana)

In all honesty, it's balanced and even underpowered, the opponent could kill the minions and play an Ooze and a legendary secret goes to the drain. But at the same time, 1 mana 5/3 weapon with lifesteal. I think I find it oddly perfect like this.

Simply no… It's a 3 mana gain an extra turn. Doesn't matter in which turn this is played, the tempo gain is absurd. I have 10 mana, play a cheap card draw, and I have to sit with 7-9 unspent mana and couldn't even prevent it in any way, shape or form. It's a really hard to balance thing, maybe even impossible to balance.

Wormhole it's good but not really that strong nor innovative, which is not bad, but kind of meh. Shattered Image is perfectly balanced, and not broken nor underpowered. Completely nulls aggro play which I'm always happy to see.

Could be stronger, I feel like getting a random one is like really a let down. Maybe a discover effect at the start of your turn but give more choices to dilute the pool.

Perfectly balanced, card. The artwork is perfect and punished control/big decks which is like full on flavor for hunter. Really nice design.

Make it summon 3/3's and it's a perfect fit, even if nerubians normally are 4/4. Nice, easy to follow design and not that broken in rogue.

I think it's not that OP, but maybe "Cast a random secret of each class" or "Cast a random Paladin, Rogue, Hunter and Mage secret." That way you can still cheat mana but not an amount that either baffles you or your opponent, and everyone can be more happy about it.

A highroll or do nothing card for Paladin seems unfitting to me. If you already draw all legendary cards in your decks it's a dead secret. On the other hand, this would proc by turns 5-6 in a normal world, and by that time a Tyrion (to say something defensive) for 1 mana can do a 180 on the game. I don't dislike it, the flavor is great, but I find it lacking some power.

I don't really see it like something worth of legendary rarity, it's not bad because in rogue you sometime lack that big spell package, but in some cases it would be "Cast something that doesn't really change anything for you", like IE.: Cast Guardian Animals or Tip the Scales or Tidal Wave on an already emptied board. Maybe something like "When your opponent casts a spell that cost (5) or more, you cast it first (targets chosen randomly)" would be better.

Totally fitting in paladin, but bonkers against a big and tempo decks. It nullifies anything except aggro, 4/4 into a 1/1 and recast the secret. Kind of bonkers IMO, but could be prevented with a token, which is good. There's a typo in the first "stats".

Nice an easy secret, but can go infinite for 1 mana, which is not that big being a 2/3, but it really adds to the legendary rarity of the card, and that's good. Overall it's a nice secret with a lot of potential in fatigue gameplay and control.
I´ve bought 112 packs with gold, opened 8 legendaries (but not the ones I wanted, sigh), have all commons, all rares, missing 10 epics (none was golden). Not too bad I guess.
There's a hidden threshold of health and turns that need to be fulfilled before a concede counts as 'played' in quest progression. I think the numbers are at least 15 health, or 10 turns.
Its not really a bug. This was the conditions set before the reward track came in darkmoon, where 'played' counts the second you enter a game. In a way I guess team5 'fixed' it.
Getting better randomly than your opponent is the basis of a card game simply because of the card draw, like that's how it works with MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, Solitaire, Phase 10, and even Uno.
Hearthstone was under Ben's direction when the Discover mechanic was created, and when Baku and Genn were designed, so he's not infallible. Also while under Ben's direction, Hearthstone didn't get Battlegrounds, Duels, Book of Heroes/Mercenaries, or the new Mercenaries mode. I got nothing against the guy, but he can stay where he's at.
Also, instead of creating a thread to express yourself, check out this one first.
I can't agree here. Hearthstone has gotten more interesting with new mechanics, but right now RNG and card generation is scaled back, Barrens has very few random effects.All 14 random effects in Barrens, and comparably with the year of the dragon very little card generation- all 6 discover effects +Kazakus, Golem Shaper- note that only four of them generate a card.
So, there is very little RNG compared to any point in the last two years, but a bit of RNG is to be expected in a card game, where you randomly draw cards.
All this game is now is hope you get better randomly than your opponent. It's gotten stupid. Blizzard sucks. Bring back Ben, when the game had some integrity and every match wasn't a crap shoot
I understand a lot of people are frustrated with all the bugs. Unfortunately these things can happen to any software company. The internal environments that the QA teams test on might not match live/production. And most times, QA teams can't test on the live servers coz that involves more setup/hoops to go through.
Wow there's a lot of watch post decks listed here. Quite surprised how much it's being experimented with in each class. Did not expect a HP mage and watch post deck to emerge.
So it looks like the effect is confirmed. As others mentioned I guess this is unintentional and will most likely be fixed some time. But we don't have to tell them ;)
I wonder if this works with two open quests and you reroll the left one?

Why are you running Kazakus, Golem Shaper with Reckless Apprentice? Won't that mean a lot of the time he's not active?

well, they release the new expansions in the morning in their time zone
probs mainly to not have to deal with the issues outside of their working hours, so hopefully they didn't have to do overtime to fix this

Friendly PSA, quests for “play X class” do not count if you concede at any point in the match. Very weird bug.

The droprate for epics is 1 in 5, the pity timer for epics is 10. So you're a bit below average.
