The significance of Barnes and Shadow Essence in Big Priest of old (or wild) is that they cheated big minions out earlier than they can be played to get powerful effects and powerful resurrection targets. With Idol of Y'Shaarj entering play 2-3 turns later, the impact of cheating out big minions is drastically lessened as by turn 8, you can practically play the minions you're trying to cheat out with the spell. The single 10/10 body doesn't matter that much as it comes out late enough in the game where either aggressive decks run you down or slower decks find removal for it. Overall, this is way too slow for Resurrect Priest.
Probably too expensive for an inconsistent clear effect. It's also inconsistent if you're running it for burn as any minion on the opponent's board reduces the face damage output of Mask of C'Thun. I wouldn't want to waste basically my entire turn on such an inconsistent card.
20 epics? Do they need to be unique or do duplicates count, because 20 unique ones would be nearly all of them.
I assumed the requirements were going to be specific cards that had some synergy with the treasure, not that you needed an arbitrarily large collection.
Kinda annoyed that I am forced to play Arena and even win 4 Games. Feels like this quest is kinda gated, as you need to spend gold for the admission. Probably the quest which I will reroll every time and will keep me from rerolling other weekly quests because this exact scenario happened to me this week.
My legendary was Inara Stormcrash and my epic was Cascading Disaster really lookinf forward to seeing what cascading disaster will do considering i thinks is stupidly strong
Agreed on all your points. I've said this before, but I am somewhat displeased that when initial concerns were raised by the community about the new system a few months ago we were given these reassuring promises:
Assuming you play the same amount and have the same quest completion rate, you shouldn't earn less gold or non-gold in the new system. In nearly all circumstances you should be earning slightly more gold and more non-gold (packs, etc).
Quests give you experience, which helps you level up. Leveling up gives you rewards, most of which is gold. Gold gains should be roughly the same amount of 'immediate' in the new system as in the old system.
On my 3 accounts just playing 3 games where it didn't matter win or lose in casual every few days was enough to net over 7200g on each. Now I'll have to put all my time into just 1 account, retire the other 2, and even then I'll need to get to level 70 to get a similar amount of gold. This is because even if you put in the work to get to level 50 it's only worth 4200g.
Even if I can manage that and endure the new grinding feel of the game, somehow I have to fund more packs for the mini-expac when I should be saving for the next full expansion. 3 times a year.
New system is less generous and at the same time game has been made significantly more expensive. Don't be fooled by the initial wave of easy rewards - it doesn't last.
This might be obvious, but just wanted to point out that you should open your golden packs first, because the pity timer is connected to the regular packs!
My fifth golden pack contained N'Zoth, God of the Deep, and I did not get a legendary while opening my first 10 regular packs.

New Neutral Minion - Carnival Clown
Good with Imprisoned Satyr or Survival of the Fittest.
New Mage Spell - Mask of C'Thun
Probably too expensive for an inconsistent clear effect. It's also inconsistent if you're running it for burn as any minion on the opponent's board reduces the face damage output of Mask of C'Thun. I wouldn't want to waste basically my entire turn on such an inconsistent card.
New Warrior Minion - Sword Eater
This is both aggressive and defensive in nature, almost like Tar Creeper. Sword Eater outclasses Arathi Weaponsmith by a mile and is easily the best pirate to choose for N'Zoth, God of the Deep and Ringmaster Whatley. I don't see why any Warrior wouldn't consider running this card.

Does anyone notice how the experience needed for level 49 is so high, then it's dropped halved for level 50.
Is it intentional like that?
Cascading Disaster
I think it's cool how the art changes three times
What Free Legendary did you get?
I got Jewel of N'Zoth and High Exarch Yrel, I wasn't hyped for either of these cards but I think I can try Pure Paladin.
What Free Legendary did you get?
My legendary was Inara Stormcrash and my epic was Cascading Disaster really lookinf forward to seeing what cascading disaster will do considering i thinks is stupidly strong
What Free Legendary did you get?
Grand Empress Shek'zara and Jewel of N'Zoth. Happy with both, but more excited about the epic, honestly!
