New content is always great, some of those new heroes look very strong.
I like they're removing Holy Mackerel too, murlocs are usually too strong in the late game and the Mackerel only increases that, also allowing other builds to abuse the refreshing divine shield and poison mechanics.
Edit: The Rusted Legion event would be a great opportunity to let players get Mecha-Jaraxxus again... just hoping.
AND THEN, IN WEEK 3, ARANNA STARSEEKER THREW MECHA-JARAXXUS OFF THE CHAINSAW DOME AND PLUMMETED 16 FEET THROUGH AN ANNOUNCER'S TABLE! *airhorns*
This announcement video listens like the Powerthirst ad, and it is great. I feel a sudden craving for a World of Warcraft themed rehash of the John Cena prank call video. "Hello, ma'am, are you a supporter of the Rusted Legion?"
Figured id just make a simple bomb warrior card mostly because I've had a lot of fun playing as chu in Dalaran heist. I came up with Otto a bit later to be more of a joke then an actual idea and likewise hed actually be a 3/5.
Well, since they added Hazelback and Lei shen, it wouldn't surprise me if we'd eventually get the Naga, Broken, Shivarra, or even some fel orc as Demon Hunters.
I don't know what my recent obsession with Rogue cards has been about, but I have two ideas currently:
The Plague Doctor's Toxins are the same as from Xaril, Poisoned Mind. Dual Wielding, conversely, is very straight-forward, and fits within the subset of cards like Thistle Tea where you create copies of what you draw.
I got this as my free legendary when I reached legend for the first (and likely only) time during April 2020. I love how many archetypes and cool combo decks it opens up for me!
Nifty, I have tried to ignore these kinds of posts because I really do think you're just baiting people on this forum (I chose not to respond at all to the "new best decks" post, for instance), but congrats because this one really irks me enough to engage on it.
A week ago, when you claimed that the Freljord is the best region in the game, I posted a long comment refuting your point in which I called out Kinkou Elusives as a) the highest win rate deck based on data available at the time and b) a deck that already featured only a very minor Freljord splash in the form of Omen Hawk and Elixir of Iron. Your response was "Dude I'm sorry but elusives is not a deck that people run in this game at any tier."
So you can imagine my frustration to see you praising the archetype that you just dismissed as trash, all while falsely claiming that Swim has "fixed" the Elusive Kinkou list by adding a Freljord splash that it already had. OldManSanns has hit the nail on the head - the deck has been good for a long time and the edits Swim has actually made are incredibly minor techs to the deck.
Frankly, after tuning in to the Progress Day podcast on YouTube, I have just about zero respect for Swim's point of view. The episode in question was discussing the Twitch Rivals tournament and Patch 1.2, and Swim was really childish about the results. Specifically, he complains about losing to Kripp's Burn Aggro list and describes it as though it was some random list even though it was about as cut-and-dry a Burn Aggro netdeck as you could get. He then went on to complain about how tournaments are better when you can predict your opponent's line-ups, and that his opponents were just "bringing random stuff" instead of "outgaming [him]." He came off as a petulant child who felt entitled to first place simply because he plays more Legends of Runeterra on Twitch than the various Hearthstone streamers who joined the tournament.

Even though you make a good point, it's also true that the current minion pool is very diluted, imagine it with one more tribe in it!

I love Winota, but it's too damn bad for the meta right now. Good riddance.

I hate this card, such a poor design. Getting steamrolled after only having 3 turns isn't fun. It's way to much of a high-roll card.

So there's a new dhunter around. Wonder what's shes going to be angry about all the time now.
Maybe her backstory would be how Elise keeps getting the nice glasses while all she gets are handmedowns.
Gotta feel that vengeance in her veins.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have to m the new hero bundle available week one so we can play with her throughout the whole event?
