I still disagree with the change to Dinotamer Brann. The pay off is barely worth it now. You can achieve the same thing (one mana discount on Krush) by just adding Beastmaster Leoroxx, King Krush itself and a few other strong beasts. And you can do that on a deck with duplicates. It's a much stronger pay off but it requires more cards. And it can't be shut down by bombs or birds.
What's really dumb here is that's the Avatar I use. I just didn't recognize her without (and this is really stupid to admit) her daggers. I like her new hairdo!
I think Blade Dance is a solid card that is reliant on having weapons and/or hero attack values. I think the main issue is that it hits so many targets. If the cost is increased, it's delayed a turn or two to be effective. However, reduce the targets that it can hit and that is a better way to nerf things. DH can attack multiple things in a turn with the right weapon, clearing the way for minions to go face. Having the ability to kill multiple minions that are elusive ANd go face is the real problem.
Instead of increasing the cost, what they needed to do was limit the number of minions it can kill. But that's my opinion.
I had been considering making a similar post myself, so I'm sure my thoughts on this are very close to yours.
I personally refuse to down-vote anyone unless it is immediately obvious what my problem would be, e.g. they made an insulting comment with little to no substance to it. If I disagree, I'll instead reply explaining why I think they are wrong. Either I'm wrong, they are, or it is subjective enough that there is no wrong, but in any case someone learns something from the resulting discussion.
Likewise, I wish people did the same to me. I'd much rather know I'm wrong than have an empty down-vote that doesn't tell me anything other than that someone somewhere possibly disagrees with me but not enough to want to change my mind.
The reasoning is fine but I think Blade Dance is still too strong, they didn't even address the contradiction with the class identity, they just delayed the card for one turn and that does nothing when paired with Skull.
Tried the deck, really fun to play, like the older version before Darkmoon Faire. In my opinion, DMF did wonders to the deck's curve, allowing us to keep up with aggro tempowise more easily while keeping the late game win condition very viable. I did do some changes though: swapped out Teron Gorefiend and one Sap for two Secret Passages. Considering the low curve of the deck and its card generation, Secret Passage serves not only as a nice resource generation tool, but as an extra card to draw our shuffled win conditions and, considering how both Sap and Teron Gorefiend feel a bit off on an aggressive meta as the one we have right now, the subs felt natural without disrupting the deck's identity.
I'm sitting @ level 37 (559/5800) with two 1k xp daily quests on my log.
I just managed level 38. I'm still debating on whether I should just sit on my weekly quests (the new quests we get tomorrow) until after the patch or complete them tomorrow.
I ended up completing 2 of the weekly quest (via BG) along with 2 dailies to push level 39 just now.
It really helps that the dailies can now be concede at start & get credit towards daily. No way that I'm playing any matches before my morning cup of coffee!
WW — obviously not going to be rated by balance, but this card honestly has no point. You’d get the same effect doing eenie meenie miney mo with your deck slots. 1/5
Every time you do that though, you have to stop and play eenie meenie miney mo with yourself after each game.
With this new Whizbang, you can just start a new game immediately after the previous one ends and get a completely random deck. It's a more streamlined approach.
First off, let's be clear: I'm not here to cry and complain "boo hoo some anonymous person on the internet doesn't like me" etc. But I've been noticing a lot of downvotes recently that don't make sense.
Example #1: I posted a deck a few weeks ago, and upvoted myself. Someone else came along and downvoted it. No comment or anything. What's the point? If you don't like the deck, offer some constructive criticism. Why was it worth someone's time to just randomly downvote a deck?
Example #2: During the card reveal season leading up to Darkmoon Faire, I went around voting on and commenting on every card, like most of you did. Every now and then someone would make an inflammatory statement and get a bunch of downvotes, or get lots of upvotes for a really funny one. Makes sense. But I saw lots of downvoted comments (mine and other people's) where there was nothing to like or dislike.
It looks to me like some folks (or maybe just one really antisocial dweeb) are just going around downvoting everything they see. Does this bother anyone else? if we're all here to discuss the game, share decks and thoughts, and even disagree with each other, doesn't this type of behavior cheapen the legitimate use of the downvote?

Blizzard would gain nothing from making it harder and more confusing to complete. I think it was just ignorance and lack of testing on their side.

Still meh. I was hoping that with some of the new mechs that came out that this would see some play but NOPE

well, in many cases, one turn is too much, it's the difference between been dead or not.

I'm only sad Shardshatter Mystic is getting nerfed cuz I liked playing her and Magtheridon on turn 7 for a full board clear.
Now I have less reasons to run him.

Original Character, Do Not Steal - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Okay, I've found an idea I'm quite satisfied with, but I'm not sure if the execution is right.
Same stats as The Boogeymonster, but has now Rush to make use of his effect right away. Since it has a Steal/Silence effect, I gave it to Priest.
I'll try to give feedback later.
