The other members of the Out of Cards staff have indicated to me that it would be too large a task-- and rather unnecessary-- to create an entire new Hearthstone wiki, as one does already exist. In fact, it's where I do a decent amount of my research to find all the cards of a particular theme. However, I do agree with your link suggestion and have been trying to implement it since I started working on my articles last summer. It's possible that I may have missed a couple, but the general rule is that if it's the first time I mention something covered in another article, the words will be a link. All future mentions of the same subject will not be linked in order to keep it from getting too messy. I hope this helps and I appreciate your support of the interconnected articles. :)
I've been a bit pessimistic on the hype Frodan was trying to build, and it appears I may have reason to be. Was hoping for a big "re-invention" of the game, maybe a complete overhaul of the Basic/Classic set, or even a move towards the Core Set idea. But likely just some new cards/mechanics.
I'm most excited for another "year" when I won't be playing this game nor give blizzard my hard earned money for something that is not enjoyable nor worth my free time.
:)
Worth enough of your free time to comment here though! So that's cool, I guess...
In response to the actual post, I'm most excited (or maybe interested is a better term) to find out what the changes are coming that "will cement Hearthstone for the next decade" as Frodan stated following the summit. I'm guessing the actual changes won't live up to that level of hype, but I'm mostly trying to stay pessimistic so that I'm either not too let down, or pleasantly surprised if it does end up being a much bigger and better change to the game to keep it feeling fresh for years to come.

Why are you on the game forum them? Tell us how much you don't care??
From what I remember it was a side comment they had made during a Q&A or something similar a few weeks ago.
I’d assume they might go back to it after a year or two, maybe three at the most, given how much people enjoyed it (was probably pretty good for sales).
Either way though, I’m still holding out for a Legion/Titan/Old God expansion set. Could be pretty cool to see a 3 way conflict in one of these stories again, especially since it’d give them another chance to do tri-class cards.
I’m thinking Warrior and Priest for Gods, Warlock for Legion, and Paladin and Druid for Titans. Not entirely sure on the other classes though.

Another card I tried to make work is Spitting Camel. So we have some (neutral) cards that get better when damaged, notoriously the Angry Chicken one but also some other neutral ones, for instance Spellzerker = good for mage. So i tried to build a deck around this, for instance using Banana Buffoon and Arena Fanatic to boost them, then use the Spitting Camel or ping to damage them. Its nice for a change, not recommended for serious climbing though. But somehow its very satisfying to see your camel injuring you own minion (for free!) and then reap the rewards. Feels a bit like a warrior (but I am playing as mage of course).
And any game you win using Angry Chicken is a life changing experience.
The 2-4 is also a solid 2-drop if you have no other minions in play yet.
Another interesting use: Its turn 4, you have the camel on board, opponent freaks out and plays a heavy taunt. O my god you think, what to do now. Then you top-deck your Voodoo Doll and first you think one mana short but then you realize...camel! Instant bliss.
And as I write this up another card comes to mind which I did not even consider before: the Underbelly Ooze. Will try that one as well soon.
To top it off: all this damaging your own minions also has synergy with Conjurer's Calling since that works best value-wise on minions that are damaged anyway.
I was a bit late on the read, but just fineshed it as well and WOW, what an amazing article it is. Thanks a lot for doing this for us.
A small mistake, I would like to point out is "With his dragon from greatly enhancing his magical powers,", where the story goes about Renogos and how he defeated Rafaam and Galakrond.
And maybe a "small" suggestion:
With all those lore articles, I think it would be great, if new forum users and hearthstone players can read them as well and jump from one to another. So maybe some sort of HS wiki with all those great stories will be a nice idea (and a lot of work) or some sort of "quick fix" might be to have links inside the article. For example: a mention of some of the Old gods should be a link, taking the reader to the Old god's article. For Elementals same. And so, build a "link-tree" inside the articles.
But anyway, keep up the AWESOME work you are doing!
Anybody found a big spell shaman deck that works in standard? Only one i've seen that had any chance was a galakrond deck - even then it seemed like a win more, not a win condition
Has anybody found a way to use this in an actual deck?
I've tried it in elemental decks and found him underwhelming but it's a fairly interesting card. Probably just an elemental for random elemental spawn decks now and arena
Yeah, it's Imp Master. The imps are "great" because of the warlock Galakrond, also the canon one from the adventure. As for gameplay, Galakrond Zoolock and Galakrond Control Warlock got the class out of the Doom in the Tomb dumpster.
I want an additional feature, where the innkeeper can use decks you made. This makes it easier to practice match-ups while preparing for tournaments and such.
I don't think the piss-poor Hearthstone AI would be able to handle constructed decks anywhere close to how they were intended. I'm not just talking about combo decks, I'm talking about generally average decks. Innkeeper would never be able to properly identify the win condition of a deck he hasn't been programmed for. There's a reason why adventure bosses are programmed for certain scenarios (and why they had to implement a special rule for Doomsayer....a rule that they haven't applied to [Hearthstone Card (Depth Charg) Not Found]e, which makes for some hilarious moments in the adventure)
Shirvala's protection and that one warlock card with Overkill: remove the top 5 cards of your opponents deck were the ones i really liked and i belive had a chance of the finals
I am not sure if you have read the reddit post. I just quoted what the streamers said about these two classes. This is not a debate about what fun is or should be. It's all about what to expect from the next expansion/rotation. What I noted in the comments and are interesting (and hopefully true) are:
Quality of the cards? Good quality of the cards, new archetypes, reinterpretation of some mechanics
Did Blizzard take f2p players into consideration? Yes, big improvements for F2p and for the cost of the game
Will the meta change? Yes for the rotation, for new exp and there will be other news that will help this
Which class attracts you most? Hunter , there will be a fusion of 2 mechanics that works great.
Mage? it's the most fun class
Priest? It will suck
Warrior? A tank
Rogue? I lost 8 games in a row against it
Shaman? Some cards op others bad 7/10
More fun class for you? Hunter
Druid? Undertone even if there are 2 or 3 op cards
Paladin? Will have a "new identity" that impressed me a lot 8/10
Is the new exp balanced? Yes except two or 3 cards
Is the new mechanic cool? It's very skillbased
Which is the class that will sucks the most? Priest.
Recently I had some fun with Khadgar and Conjurer's Calling when cast on a Khartut Defender. So turn 6 you play the Khartut, opponent does not want to trade into it but just adds minions to board and you explode the board with Khadgar + conjurer's. Since the deathrattle also produces 2 minions now, you suddenly have 7 minions on board and stat-wise some 30 mana equivalent for an investment of 7 mana. And a lot of healing which is also nice for a mage these days. Easier to pull of then the mountain giant since that one almost always gets removed.

Hearthstone Summit 2020: Mage and Hunter will be the most fun classes to play..
That seems like an incredibly weird statement.Really depends on what the definition of "fun" is:
-the ability to build multiple working decks
-having a playstyle that's not dependant on any particular support, therefore always being playable
-Yogg levels of RNG because decision making is overrated
also, when isn't it bad news for Priest? They're either hated by everyone or played by noone.

Now I am excited!!
If this is true and Mage (my favorite class) is coming back (Tempo Mage please!!) then I will buy loads of packs
for the coming expansion...I love Hunter too it's all good!! Bad news for priest apparently..
Karma/Anivia Control Deck, Great Counter to Zed Elusive and Other Aggro Decks
Deck ID Not Found
If you have bad times against aggro and Zed decks, you should try this deck.
It is also effective against Karma/Lux decks because of Ramp Ability.
One of the best starting hand is 1x Avalanche, 1x Avarosan Sentry/ 1x Icevale Archer, 1x Shadow Assassin, 1x Harsh Winds/Will of Ionia.
It is better to hold Will of Ionia against Hecarim decks.
Brittle Steel is also ok at mulligan.
I hope you try and enjoy.
