I think this will be played based on how prevalent mage is in the meta just like any "rager" type card, demon hunter runs a lot of low drops too so i don't think it's unplayable like people are saying.
Very cool card, won't see play but it's cool. I agree with krip when he saw this where he pointed out that in most games it is better to try to tie a game than lose.
I like this one kinda, it is REALLY slow, but against a lot of decks you'll know if you need to play this before silenceable minions drop, and if that don't work we have broom which is basically 3 mana mass dispel, but you don't draw a card.
High variance high reward, it kind of reminds me of the casino hunter, where you played all spells except for barnes and y'saarj back in the day. You win if you draw it, but there's no way to tutor it in warlock or cheat it out like mage can. I think it'll see a lot of experimentation in this and future sets, but won't be very high in win rate.
Very fringe card, don't think it'll be seen in play, maybe if it was a permanent buff it would but as it is then no. Control warlock doesn't want this, and it's too situational for zoo.
Solem followed in Zeddy's footsteps, he posted a rant against the new system (and everything wrong with HS, basically) in his channel. I hope other major streamers follow suit, though that's unlikely.
I still enjoy this game, but I have to admit that it's not worth spending money on anymore. I've been suckered into buying the pre-order bundles every single time since Witchwood just so I could play some competitive decks, but in the back of my mind I've always known how foolish it was to spend so much on something that won't even guarantee you getting all the cards in the expansion, or at the very least the legendaries or cards you want. But I bought them anyway because the F2P way is such a grind, it was just easier to give Blizzard my hard-earned money just so I could keep enjoying this game I love.
Like the other posters in this thread, I'm going to be F2P from now on. My collection's pretty good now and I've hoarded lots of dust, so it might not be too bad. I just feel bad for all the F2P and casual players that this new system is spitting on; the XP gain is so low, it doesn't matter how much rewards they could get since they'll need to grind 12+ hours just to level up. It's insane.
Even if the devs fix this issue with the Battle Pass, there's still the issue of how expensive the game has become. That reminds me, they'll be releasing another mini-expansion so w'll be forced to pony up again. Unless this game becomes cheaper, I won't be spending money on it anymore.
Is there any legit way of restarting anyway? Played like 9 matches last week but couldn't find that retire button anywhere. Seems like once you're locked in, you can't just get out like you can in arena.
A retire button shows up under the hero portrait after your first duel (at least, it has in the past and is supposed to)
New Demon Hunter Minion - Insatiable Felhound
I mean Ashtongue Battlelord was already a card that saw play in midrange DH so this should at 1 less mana in theory.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Acrobatics
Keep printing more shit like this so Glide never sees play please
New Demon Hunter Minion - Stiltstepper
I think this will be played based on how prevalent mage is in the meta just like any "rager" type card, demon hunter runs a lot of low drops too so i don't think it's unplayable like people are saying.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Dreadlord's Bite
Another weapon to hit me in the face with....at least it's 3 mana fiery war axe. I would have thought for DH they'd have made it 2
New Neutral Minion - Darkmoon Statue
Could be decent in totem shaman, but i doubt it. It's just pack filler.
New Rogue Spell - Swindle
Won't be played. Not even in wild where they have a better card in Elven Minstrel
New Warrior Minion - Bumper Car
Arena fodder. Would be better if it had 2 attack at least.
New Shaman Spell - Revolve
VERY good card, most of the time you'll play it when you're ahead on board not just on some crappy totems. The fact that it costs 1 is very good.
New Rogue Minion - Prize Plunderer
Very powerful, but won't see play. Rogues enjoy spamming cheap shit, but they also enjoy going face not trading.
New Neutral Minion - Banana Vendor
No one was crafting mookla anyway. More cheap spells for mage. And without research project i doubt it'll be as annoying as it was before.
New Neutral Minion - Knife Vendor
Very cool card, won't see play but it's cool. I agree with krip when he saw this where he pointed out that in most games it is better to try to tie a game than lose.
New Neutral Minion - Showstopper
I like this one kinda, it is REALLY slow, but against a lot of decks you'll know if you need to play this before silenceable minions drop, and if that don't work we have broom which is basically 3 mana mass dispel, but you don't draw a card.
New Neutral Minion - Prize Vendor
Was going to make a standard mill mage deck with this when i saw it, but i forgot that Research Project rotated already
New Warlock Spell - Free Admission
Replacement for sense demons, potentially in wild. Maybe a combo enabler down the line. But i don't think it'll see play in standard.
New Warlock Spell - Deck of Chaos
High variance high reward, it kind of reminds me of the casino hunter, where you played all spells except for barnes and y'saarj back in the day.

Madness at the Darkmoon Faire
What is gold used for?
New Rogue Minion - Foxy Fraud
This is basically that free combo enabler reddit keeps asking for but better.
New Druid Minion - Fizzy Elemental
Good card for arena, and from one of my favorite instances. Very good alemental to discover on discover elemental effects on later turns.
New Neutral Minion - Darkmoon Dirigible
i think this will be VERY good after turn 3. on turn three however not so much.

As long as people are rewarded for actually commenting and not just clicking links and typing a "." in the thread i think this is a good addition.
New Warlock Spell - Deck of Chaos
I've pulled this from a pack and tried to make a deck with it. Would be very grateful for any feedback. Maybe we can make this work!

Got it from a pack and would be very grateful for people helping me to make this work. Here's my first idea (short guide included):

Is Duels broken for anyone else?
