PLEASE on Jaraxxus rework - I opened a golden copy a few weeks back and really am trying hard not to dust him... He's just one of the few cards that is literally unplayable with Zephyrs around for instant, 2-mana kill...
They could add new classes in a temporary way, that last just for 2 years until they rotate to wild. So you would see new cards for that class for 2 years and then you'd change to a different temporary class
I remember hearing about this bug in the discord server and thought it was absolutely hysterical. Given how raiding party was unnerfed and probably going to see play in wild, I don't have any doubts that blizzard will catch wind of this happening and fix it.
Thank you all for the previous feedback. After listening to the feedback, and running into an issue of having too many lines of text. The card has changed a lot. I have narrowed my options down to these 2:
I prefer the 2-mana version. Outcast feels tacked on, at least to me, and bumping it to 3-mana makes it much harder to combo the effect with removal, your Hero Power, and/or a weapon.
In my opinion, the biggest issue with the OG paladin quest is just that it's super slow (and the reward is kinda meh, but anyway). Because of that, I would try trimming down on the top end a bit as well as cutting the slower cards because if things go decently, you should be able to beat down the opponent with either Galvadon or with a very large Immortal Prelate/any other creature.
The cards I see being the most meh are both theLightforged Crusader because while generating extra librams sounds really fun, that feels unlikely due to being in wild, the Spirit of the Tiger because its pretty slow and pretty much all you make with it are small creatures that don't do much. Finally, I'm not a huge fan of the Bronze Explorers as they do not benefit much from being buffed aside from gaining you more life when they attack and the dragon you discover should not be that impactful.
Some cards I think would be good if included in the deck would be two Lightforged Zealots as, since your already all paladin cards, you might as well run the best payoff. It lets you start removing things when it comes into play and gives a body you can buff up if it survives. Another card I think would be decent is a Potion of Heroism, most likely as a 1-of. More draw is always good and the divine shield is pretty relevant for trading. Finally, since this deck needs more of an early game that does not rely on other cards to make it strong, I'd probably toss in 2 Shielded Minibots. Its a strong minion on its own and given how most likely it is going to survive, it gives you a good base to start buffing.
My biggest issue with this archetype as a whole is just that its slow and the payoff doesn't instantly win the game. It's going to be absolutely picked apart by the rest of the meta for the most part, but there's not much you can really do to fix that aside from just playing a different deck. Aside from that though, the deck does look really fun and so good luck when you get around to piloting it with the new cards!
If they really wanted to make a deathknight class they could just change the name and the names of the deathknight cards. something like lich cards idk.
edit: I do think it is very good they are not rushing classes for the sake of having more classes though.
I'd love to see them do Priest-style overhauls to other class's basic and classic sets as well.
There's a lot of stuff that really doesn't represent what a class is supposed to do (and also happens to be completely unplayable, see for instance Blood Imp)
So I was playing pirate rogue in Wild and I attacked with Kingsbane. It broke and got shuffled into my deck. Then I drew it with Raiding Party and played it. But then broke again and went back into my deck. It seemed like my Kingsbane had no durability, it was in fact a 4/0 weapon for the game. Hope they solve this quick.
Honestly, the only legendary I want badly are Maiev Shadowsong, which I'm probably going to craft golden because she's absolutely nutty and you can just throw her into any deck and she'll be great.
That being said, there are a couple of other cards I do want to get, although mainly for just hot garbage decks or because I find them funny. The first being Reliquary of Souls because its prime art is hysterical to me for whatever reason.
"Delete this"
As for other cards, Bulwark of Azzinoth so I can make turbo fog a reality in Hearthstone and try to crush some people's dreams by playing a deck whos literally only win condition is dead mans hand slowly fatiguing the opponent (no coldlights, thats cheating). I Suppose Evocation and Beastmaster Leoroxx are pretty cool as well.
Well, you can't play as DH, but you can start practicing playing against it! I personally would suggest spending your time playing against other classes right now, come April 7th, 90% of the meta is going to be DH.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised about how good Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin was performing honestly. Enough to the point where I might put one of the current decks I'm building in paper on hiatus to go and make a Krenko commander deck because as much as I love playing him in brawl, some of the cards I went with are... questionable to say the least in the grand scheme of things.
Being said that this is going to be an aggro deck, I dont think spending 3 mana to shuffle a Zixor Prime and add a 3 mana 2/4 into your hand is justified. The other deathrattles dont justify it either, and if you dont have any of your 4 deathrattle minions dead the card is just a dead card. However leave it in as you will, it looks fun to try
btw to add, this deck seems to win by cheesing out games with hyena and sea giant. It doesnt seem to have as much late-game prowess as most other decks. An additional reason why I won't recommend adding Veranus and might suggest some card draw in its stead. Consider tracking or cult master

Ashes of Outland Wishlist
This is from a wild and sometimes standard player's point of view.
1) Teron Gorefiend Just so many ways you can abuse his deathrattle and the ones you are gonna pop.
2) Zixor, Apex Predator Cool card that synergises with all the other new hunter cards
3) Beastmaster Leoroxx I just love this card.
Honorable mentions: Kayn Sunfury of course. He looks broken since your only way to stop this is healing yourself for a ton of hp/armor
Maiev Shadowsong so like every body gets a 4 mana Sap with a body. Cool.

Jaraxxus Rework when?
Hearthstone's Ben Lee and Nathan Lyons-Smith on the Year of the Phoenix, Demon Hunter, More Classes
I wouldn't mind Adding Monk to the list if that means Chen Stormstout could be a hero avatar.
But my concern is that with adding classes you'll most likely be reducing the impact or identity of other classes from the game.
