I think what it's really going to come down to is how fast each level can be obtained.  Sure we can get an additional 150 gold for each level after 50, but are those levels going to take dramatically longer each level?  If it's not too bad and you can earn a level a day, even after 50, I'd say this is at least on par if not better than the old system.

I don't think we know that yet, but a good question to ask really.  I'm still just trying to find out, do we get gold with each level 1-50 as well?  It says "Gold, gold, and more gold" in the article, but I don't see anything to say how much per level other than the 150/lvl after lvl 50.

EDIT: But to answer the first half your question, it sounds like we get to choose the hero we want, yes.  Which is smart since they probably know some people only play certain classes.  No use awarding a Shaman portrait to someone who only plays Mage and Warlock.

decent with stowaway?  

Great control tool, and it helps chain spells into Kael'thas Sunstrider and Exotic Mountseller, which means it will surely see play as those decks are already well established. Also this fits perfectly into OTK decks, as they will take ANY kind of removal, mainly for the early game and before their big clears. Also if you play this along something like Swipe you can really setup some board wipes on turn 4.

It has some competition with Bogbeam, but i feel like both cards are good and are still going to get slotted into the deck. Maybe they will include 1 copy of both Lunar Eclipse and Bogbeam into their decks, as Lunar Eclipse is better before they hit 7 mana, and Bogbeam after 7 mana. And honestly Lunar Eclipse will see play over Bogbeam in (OTK) Decks that don't ramp with cards like Overgrowth.

so once you hit 50 do you have to choose a skin to unlock? can you unlock the other ones in the same season/next season or do they go away?

Maybe it's targeted, dunno.

Since that-exciting-news had not been announced at first and looking at the new Duels Mode, I have the feeling the end of year game mode is actually the one that is in development for several months now, and that Duels is just a rushed (but nevertheless fun) mode made at haste to make up for the "true" new game mode not being ready yet.

Alright, THIS is a 10/10, super scary card with a lot of potential.

This can double your Survival of the Fittest for massive buffs, double your Guardian Animals for more tempo & empty your deck faster for OTK decks, and OTK your opponent's with Moonfires. Also one synergy that's also interest is that Solar Eclipse into any cheap spell like Guess the Weight, Dreamway Guardians or Rising Winds for lots of draw/tempo, is really strong.

However the synergy i'm the most afraid of is Lightning Bloom to cheat out Solar Eclipse into double Overgrowth on turn 4/when their on 4 mana... This card is scary... Pretty sure Solar Eclipse and a good opening hand can help out Guardian Animals get out 1 turn earlier again, which is something you felt REALLY bad to play against..

Probably won’t bother submitting, but still 

Feedback? I guess... I’ll just put up my ratings of each card with minimal explaining, anyone who actually cares enough about an in-depth explanation (or maybe wants to change my mind) could ask for it or something

Wait I just realized most of this is completely outdated LMAAAAO

On second note, they could've make this Heroic Duels type thing in the previous Masquerade Event. Making both Casual and Heroic Brawliseum instead of 1000 gold only Heroic Brawliseum. But no, they decide they wanna do it in the new mode. #facepalm again

This is a tricky card to rate. It has bad stats for tempo, and it's more of a value card. Personally i think this WILL be a super powerfull card. This gives you more synergy with Kael'thas Sunstrider and Exotic Mountseller. AND the Solar Eclipse can double your Survival of the Fittest! This is honestly a... very scary situation to think about. Solar Eclipse specifically is a SCARY card, and this gives you more copies of it.

Nope, but it is a neutral.

I would very much like to see this leaderboard : D 

Seems like a decent heal and AOE for early game, and DH loves heals and board control. But MOST IMPORTANTLY! This card makes it HARDER to get Twin Slice from Wandmaker and Cobalt Spellkin! This lowers the chance to get Twin Slice from a 1 in 6, to a 1 in 7. (From 16,67% down to 14.29%!) Even if the card doesn't get slotted in, you will still see it generated plenty of times, and every time you see a DH play a randomly generated Felscream Blast, just think "At least it lowered the chance to get 4 additional damage to my face."

and still got better stuff to put in your decks then a 7minda CONDTIONAL mind control

Easily a top tier hero. That Hero Power just negates any gold you would spend rolling and just buys the third minion for you.

Reno doesn't play the golden minion though so he does not get to discover a minion from the tavern tier above.

In my opinion, they had only one objective with this new system: be more rewarding in terms of collecting cards than the old one. Waiting for the full track to crunch the numbers and find out if it is. 

Personally, i'm glad to see the Eyes of C'Thun cardback return. It came out during the time i lost interest in the game, but i have always wanted a "old god" cardback for the C'Thun decks i play every so often. And the Eyes of C'Thun cardback is i.m.o. the best of the old god card backs. Also i'm fine with seeing other pre-purchase card backs return in the shop. And while their at it, i wouldn't mind seeing some of the "pre-purchase only" hero skins return. I personally never buy pre-orders for the card back, if i pre-order it's for the packs. (And possible benefits like a free legendary or early acces.) So i don't think a lot of people will be "mad" about seeing those kinda card backs return in the store. It still costs 5 packs worth of gold, so it's still not that cheap to get. 

Ooh a old-god skin, will probably have to look at emotes first. I only have nemsi so it might be a reason to get the big pre-order for the first time. But i'll wait untill the animations, emothes and voicelines get revealed. I don't want to risk buying a big pre-order instead of a normal one, just for a PDF/Scholar Jaina/Tin Can Uther skin of N'Zoth.

Wait, the cheaper pre-order has -10 packs AND gives a normal legendary instead of a golden legendary? This pre-order MUST be cheaper than last time, otherwise the early acces is being VERY overpriced. (Even though the new mode is pretty much everything i wished for since the first dungeon run.)

Well most people don't have that many friends, so I cam very confident in saying that the majority of the population will benefit from this change even if they remove the friend quest.
