I just wish I could hear his music in LoR more! It'd be cool if the themed boards you can buy also had theme music (like Braums for example) to go with them in the background. I'd totally buy one (hint hint Riot).
After you play hs for 5 years, you are able to tell who is a good player and who is not. Winning games doesn't exactly mean you are a good player in hs nowadays, especially in wild. There are so many rng related scenarios that win you the game. An AI cannot possibly tell who is really as good as you. I could tell they weren't players who deserved legend. But that wasn't my point anyway, my point was: why have i not been facing legend players for about 25 matches straight?
I would not like facing legend players at rank 5 either too. The ladder should come gradually. Facing legend players every match at 5 is not fun.
Come on, it is rare you can tell how good a player is from a single game, regardless of what rank they are. There has to be a particularly technical and/or unorthodox play that ends up winning them the game to know they are good, or unjustifiable sloppy plays to know otherwise. Most games against competent players (who may or may not be legend worthy) just don't tell you enough to work from, especially at the start of an expansion when it takes time to learn what to expect, and doubly so when the 9 classes people have learned before have all but disappeared.
Returning to the main question, underlying it is the question of how you judge how good a player is. If you have the same MMR as someone else then by that measure you are about as good as them, no matter how arrogant you want to be about it. Of course all MMR calculations will be imperfect (win-rate based measures would underestimate a brilliant player who insists on playing tier 4 decks for example), and it seems to me your issues are with the MMR calc rather than the system using it. So I advise you try to come up with solutions there instead.
Tweaked it due to what Kansas said about being hard to understand. Basically I was shooting for this
the wording on it is much better than before but i do feel like it should be better maybe make it 3 mana or 6 attack but if you already submitted it thats fine its a decent and very creative card
So did anybody have any success with this card? Especially in Wild?
I have been trying him in Evenlock, and truth is I either win or lose before I can actually draw Kanrethad Prime (literally, I have yet to see the card in my hand).
Cubelock can hardly find any serious room for him.
I guess I'll switch to Zoolock but I am afraid the card doesn't really have any serious impact in whatever deck, given the opposite synergies of its two forms…
Any experiences with him?
Isn't the card good enough? I always thought it made sense in decks with big demons like Reno or Cubelock. Well, if the latter deck doesn't have any room for it, as you claim, then maybe just in Reno? Or zoo, like Superkowboj1 suggests?
If anyone is wondering why Ur'zul Horror adds Lost Soul to your hand it's because Ur'zul are made of Drenai/Krokul smooshed together into a demon body so when you kill it the Ur'zul releases the soul, in fact you can see the dead horror behind the lost soul in its art.

He is pretty good in discozoolock (omegalul), you can dump your cheap demons for good tempo.
First point is honestly me being nitpicky about everything, but why the hell can't you see your opponents rank till you're in Legend. Seems kinda nonsensical to me.
Because you may face players MUCH higher rank than yours and that would make players unhappy. So Blizzard solution - do not show opponents rank.
as a man who is playing control shaman this is good news because demon hunters just rush me down and without means of board clear (Mainly due to bad card draw) i get steamrolled but with [Hearthstone Card (Imprisioned Antean) Not Found] and Eye Beam nerf hopefully this will slow down the amount of DH playing and also my chances of winning against them
I feel like people are focusing a little too much on the balance aspect here. This makes sense, given how demon hunters have been terrorizing ladder so far, but just because a different class with a different playstyle could have been introduced instead doesn't guarantee that that wouldn't have been a broken mess as well.
For all we know they could've pushed a slow control-oriented class and we'd end up with the Dr. Boom, Mad Genius control warrior 2.0 meta instead. Does anyone remember that one? I do, unfortunately.

I totally agree. I think Blizz could have waited a couple weeks to see if the community can come up with proper counters OR if the new-class hype diminishes. Instead they emergency-rushed out with a hotfix after a day. IMO not the best solution.
Here ya go, the quote you asked for. I highlighted the part that shows that you're upset.
Quote From Kovachut
Personally I would have liked the new ladder way more if it were a bit too challenging. Maybe I am just kinda salty for gaining easy stars prior to Diamond 5
That's because I was and still am kinda salty about the easy stars PRIOR to rank 5 Diamond. The grind afterwards was relaxing, which I wanted to commend.
Regarding the quote - I already stated multiple times why I think like so, so I'm not going to repeat myself. I'm just a person, who doesn't like things handed to me on a silver plate.
[edit] But I must say, thanks for reading my walls of text. I know my posts could be annoying at times.

Anyone else thinks Ysiel should read "Your spells cannot cost more than (1)" ?
Because as it is it looks very difficult to get value out of it.

This guy is always awesome. Hope he gets card reveal again next time.
And ideally involving Jania and Valeera if things are safe enough to do some filming with them by then.

That was a terrible and boring meta.

This is actually very strong in Demon Zoolock. Coin this out turn one and get 2x Flame Imp and Voidwalkers as well xd

Did you see stat? Where demon hunter was literally more than 7% higher winrate than all other classes?

Also, DH deserved an animation being the new class.
