I went like 10/0 last night all with my own decks.
Illoi (midrange)
Pirates (aggro)
Asol (ramp)
Ryse (combo)
It doesnt really matter what you play, as long as.you have that advanced concept of deck building you will win.
Doesn't matter if an entire army of people try to stop you, they can be the best players, or the worst players.
At the end its all the same to Nifty.
So here's hoping Riot does the right thing and formally adopts this format long term because honestly standard is for grade schoolers at this point.
I really wish Swim didn't get canceled because he's bad with women. Because his oppinion on this debate would be the only one I'd listen to with our play styles being very similar.
Like how many people do you know can hit insane winrates with absolute trash?
I can count those people on one hand, there's me and then there's him.
Streamers will pretend that hey time bomb printer is the best deck ever! I face it and it crumbles to me in two seconds.
Hey why don't you go peddle your garbage brews to someone else and leave the house cleaning to the professionals?
BTW: I never played Tier 1/2 decks. My best runs until now were Midrange Paladin during the Secret Paladin Era and C'Thun OTK Priest during whatever meta that was :D
P0NG's art is a placeholder for now. I'm trying to find another piece I've used earlier, but no success so far. If anyone happens to know where it's hiding, I'd be grateful for a pointer.
At least Hero Cariel is rotating out, but I don't think this quite matches her sheer tankiness potential. Still really good, and basically makes Mages, Druids, and Death Knights invest 2 mana to remove first.
Extremely good, Demon Hunter has lots of premium rush minions, the discount only further gives this a utility even in a class filled with good draws already.
At first I thought she'll be scuffed minion Rokara, but then I realized that this gives attack buffs to ALL your other minions. Suddenly, cards like SECURITY or Coordinated Strike is a Bloodlust.
I think this is good, but I don't quite think a pure Miracle direction is the way to go with this. No, this is a big threat in a Tempo Rogue deck, one that synergizes best with Breakdance since it gives you a big body and effectively a one-turn Windfury for trades while setting up for an even bigger Spinner in a future turn.
Amusingly, this seems like Burgle Rogue is the best home for it, but one important fact that people forget about Burgle effects that look at opponent class is that the deck tends to be very bad in a Rogue mirror since your Burgle payoff cards suddenly don't work.
I'm not positive on this one, a lot of the new weapons have deathrattles so you'd want to break them as soon as possible. Sure, another durability gives you another swing while you're still juicing it up, but a few of them aren't particularly powerful stat-wise.

Just give me a reason...

New Hearthstone Arena Rotation - Secure Your Tavern Ticket Refunds Before Festival of Legends Begins!
Hmm, consistently inconsistent, figures. Thanks for the info.

A quick idea. Only the non-italic values swap with each cast.

Here's my first idea:

Congrats to Loknax!
New Paladin Spell - Starlight Groove

New Shaman Minion - Brass Elemental
Sort of Restless Mummy that's much better when left alive, just a decent card to have.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Eye of Shadow
I much rather play Aldrachi Warblades, why is this an epic???
New Demon Hunter Spell - SECURITY!!
Actually a good version of Coordinated Strike, AND a good Outcast to pull out from MotLK's Outcast package.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Snakebite
Remember, this counts ALL minions that died this turn, including your opponent's, though you're obviously juicing this up with 1/1 rushers anyway.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Rush the Stage
Extremely good, Demon Hunter has lots of premium rush minions, the discount only further gives this a utility even in a class filled with good draws already.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Halveria Darkraven

New Neutral Minion - Pozzik, Audio Engineer
Not entirely sold on him, a rather generic aggro body. Honestly that makes him the first thing to cut later on in the year.
New Neutral Minion - Photographer Fizzle
The most AMBITIOUS of the greedy value cards, especially since you need to draw the snapshot to get the extra cards.
New Rogue Weapon - Record Scratcher
Incredibly awkward to use with Draka, but you know that Rogue is going to pull off some premium bullshit turns anyway with this.
New Rogue Minion - Disc Jockey
A Single Whirlkick doesn't really make for a master, but you're probably running this anyway just to juice up Rhyme Spinner.
New Rogue Minion - Rhyme Spinner
I think this is good, but I don't quite think a pure Miracle direction is the way to go with this. No, this is a big threat in a Tempo Rogue deck, one that synergizes best with Breakdance since it gives you a big body and effectively a one-turn Windfury for trades while setting up for an even bigger Spinner in a future turn.
New Neutral Minion - Hipster

New Neutral Minion - Instrument Tech
Neutral Cavern Shinyfinder seems pretty dang good, especially when every class got a new weapon that they're likely to use.
New Neutral Minion - Air Guitarist
I'm not positive on this one, a lot of the new weapons have deathrattles so you'd want to break them as soon as possible. Sure, another durability gives you another swing while you're still juicing it up, but a few of them aren't particularly powerful stat-wise.
New Neutral Minion - Frequency Oscillator
Oooh, is this for ME? -Mech Mage and Paladin, probably.
New Neutral Minion - Annoying Fan
Glacial Shard for Mech decks. More Menagerie usually would play, well, Glacial Shard over this.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Instrument Smasher
It sounds like a good effect, but how many times has a minion managed to live more a turn in the mid game? Exactly.
New Hunter Spell - Stranglethorn Heart
Crazy top end for Big Beast Hunter, probably just ends games on the spot.
