If it wasn't for Vanessa's familial ties to Edwin I would say Garona is just as fitting as anyone else. The classic legendaries were often closely associated with the basic hero (Cenarius + Malfurion, Velen + Anduin, Antonidas + Jaina, Gromm + Garrosh, Tirion + Uther), and I'm pretty sure Valeera did more with Garona than any of the other likely options. At least in documented events; there's no doubt she has worked with Mathias quite a bit off-screen since they are both based in Stormwind and BfA showed them talking like long-time friends.
Taran Zhu seems particularly unlikely since he's a monk, not a rogue. Now they are willing to add classes to the game, my guess is they will keep him back for the basic monk hero. Him or Chen Stormstout anyway. I would say they are both conspicuously absent from the game, but so is the whole of Pandaria so that's not saying much.
Hello there, could you please change my name from OneManArmy to Stardust ?
Would be highly appreciated.
It's been a while since someone asked for a name change, it seems. Unfortunately, that name is already in use (although with a slightly different capitalization; I'm assuming it can't be used anyway).
I don't want it to be anyone that I'd actually like to see in the game as Blizzard will no doubt release a useless card like the others they have replaced.
Garona is my favorite character here (followed by Taran Zhu) but Vanessa and Mathias are definitely much more fitting than her. I'd be OK with any of those three.
Reno priest used to be very favored as was reno mage. However, after this expansion’s new cards for secret mage the matchup has shifted. Did you play before the expansion or after? Also, the new refined secret mage was only popularized in the past month so maybe you played before then.
played till the week before christmas. i started laddering again this week for a bit, so maybe i just haven't experienced the full force of the recent Secret Mage yet. I've seen some decks that run stuff like Sayge and Rigged Faire Game.
Is it possible your hunter list is somehow better against them than the standard one or you are playing it better than most people? Based on vicious syndicate stats secret mage is highly favored but maybe most people misplay in that matchup. Any specific suggestions for how to play deathrattle hunter in that matchup or any cards you use different than their list?

This new meta report https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/wild-vs-data-reaper-report-25/ just came out today which is stat based, not opinion based, and it shows secret mage as the best deck by a large margin and having favored or highly favored matchups into every other deck except pirate warrior, where the matchup is neutral. So there is no meta counter to this deck. I wonder what experiences everyone is having with wild ladder related to secret mage?
I don't know which is better - my gut says that 10 gold for three wins probably felt better because winning felt like it mattered then. I do know that the current rewards track feels better than the first iteration did, and I feel like I will have a good deal of gold to show for my efforts by the end of the expansion. I'm a paying player (I buy most bundles), but I like to supplement with gold-bought packs at the beginning of an expansion too.
From a F2P point of view, so comparing cost to achievable gold (again considering I am F2P - meaning casual), the new system is no better. At best, it is the same. They could have done absolutely nothing, and I'd still be in the same place. I'm sure they've captured a load of people who suddenly feel like it is worth spending more money, but for me it is actually a little bit more boring than before. Their *really big thing* was "a sense of achievement". Meh.
Considering how bad it was to start with, when they first said that it was great, but actually shafted players, it really shows how money grabbing they are.
I'm level 41 at the moment. Vaguely looking forward to the level 50 hero avatar thing. Hoping they are going to take away all the clicks needed to navigate around.
Yeah, the reason you have to go and claim the rewards, similar with Achievements, is probably to "feel" the accomplishment. I think, at least for Rewards Track rewards, would be a good idea to just get the pop-up right after you earn it, not needing to go to the special screen and pick it up manually. Same as you got 10 gold for 3 wins in the old system, right after the game.
I say Vanessa VanCleef. Going by that piece of backstory I think it would be cool for her to replace him in the game. My second choice would be Garona but they could add her anytime.
Another minor OCD issue I have is that my gold total ends with a '5'. Except for Arena (which I dislike), there are no other modes that reward '5' gold. I only create an Arena deck per rotation to get a free pack and refund tavern ticket.
This problem is also relevant for my total dust count 😅

Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop giving me weekly quests to play battlegrounds and/or duels.
I don't f****** want to!!!
Also don't rub salt in the wound by re-rolling my battlegrounds quest into an "easier" battlegrounds quest. I'm still not playing it.

Coinflip with Deathrattle Hunter. If they don't draw like a god, they really have to work for their win.

I didn't play much ladder recently, but i never had much trouble with them.
Though, that could be because I usually play rather defensive Reno decks.

I´d vote for Vanessa VanCleef, but knowing Blizz, it would be someone completely different. I hope I´m wrong tho.

Uh not realy, Not over Vanessa. She is Edwins Daughter the is by far the most obvious/most fitting replacement as 'successor" of edwin
Heck Succeeding Edwin is her Role in WoW Basicly, She reforms and becomes elader of the Defias Brotherhood.

AFAIK you can get +5 gold in Heroic Duels aswell, maybe you can try that with your free ticket (if you have any left).
