To be fair, i have to re-do this statement. I now have 11600 gold, which is far more, than i ever had before an expansion before, by just "normally" playing. (bought the tavern pass though).
Maybe the new system isn't as bad as we thought on beginning.
Yeah, the fact everyone seems to now be significantly ahead of where they were in previous expansions means the rewards track probably started out fine (about equal to the old system) even before the improvements were made. Certainly it would have been absolutely fine once the intended XP giving events are factored in, and there wasn't actually any sign that the devs had lied to us.
Really it was a failure of communication much more than anything else. I hope people look back at it all with a critical eye and recognise they overreacted. Some good came out of that overreaction, but that doesn't excuse how aggressive and inconsiderate some people became.
Look, I really love this idea of a self-milling Warlock deck that constantly balances on the edge of life and death...but the nature of the game makes it so you just don't have control over what parts of your deck you end up destroying.
NOt to mention...Warlock has Tickatus. Tickatus will win you the game just by making your opponent die faster than you. Why would I, on top of that, want to nuke my own deck, throw away that advantage, just to get a tad of extra healing?
10 cards is not a lot. There are 30 cards in your deck. Getting down to 10 will take a while, even if you aggressively melt your own cards.
I suspect the second Warlock legendary will synergize with this in some way, but it will have to be very good to justify this playstyle.
You need to see this as a 3 mana 3/3 lifesteal, which is nice in Warlock, with an upside that in late control game it can deal 6 damage and heal you for
This could give some great value, you don't even need to chain up spells as one heavy spell could be enough. This + Siphon Soul or Twisting Nether is amazing value alone.
This card has some nice healing potential but that restriction seems like a high bar to consistently accomplish. We need to see some more insane support for this type of deck thinning or this card won't see play.
So deck depletion synergy is a thing now? Well, why not? This card is really good when triggered and as we all know Warlocks can empty their decks pretty fast.
Would've prefered this card had rush instead of the discover effect. Ofc that would make the card bonkers. Guess it's kind of Blizzard to give us golden copies of these as the discovered card will also be golden. It's definitely more an arena card and can always slot into any decks if need be.
New Druid Spell - Mark of the Spikeshell
Basically the above
this new system...

New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
Easy to pull the condition. I like it
Bubble Boys are back!
Looks fun, but most likely not suitable for climbing (InfamousGW started the video at 7640 and ended at 7746). Is the winrate ~50%?
New Priest Minion - Priest of An'she
Easy way to gain a strong minion on turn 5
New Neutral Minion - Venomous Scorpid
Indeed likeVulpera Scoundrel and will definitely see play as it has a nice battlecry. Would have made different stats though

Sick

Good tool, could backfire..
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
Decent

I reckon this could be beasty
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
A card everyone will want to drop when they're nearing the end of opening all their packs.
New Neutral Minion - Venomous Scorpid
Decent card in a good spot. Since Primordial Explorer saw play, why not this? Nice summon från Teacher's Pet also.
New Paladin Minion - Veteran Warmedic
Standard boring Paladin card
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback
I like it
