Nice insights! I'm not holding my breath for any DK Rune indication, handy as it might be. Arguably it's not so different from when you have the likes of Aggro/Ramp Druid/Rogue pretending to be Druid on ladder and where you'd go for vastly different mulligans if you could only know which is which.
Yeah, you are right regarding developers and their crunch time. I'm just tired of the gaming industry in general for releasing half assed and uncompleted games or major expansion.
The ones who got nothing and boosters from the caches actually benefit the most since they have an additional chance to get a card from reopening them.
Final Update: It turns out the ultimate solution involved bringing back the special event as it was, for an extended duration! All is well that ends well.
Money does not give you any advantage only in pool 1 and 2. But in pool 3 it does.
How? (I'm not there yet
Too many cards in pool 3 and very slow progress in collecting them. I think there are very few people who actually have all these cards, so the money will definitely give you an edge here. Do not forget that with money you can speed up the collection progress.
Well, you can speed it up a bit, but it slows down even for paying players, and the collector tokens make it so you can get a card if you really want it.
Yeah, but still, you'll be in disadvantage all the way along pool 3. Hmm... maybe not all the way, it depends of how exactly the matchmaking works. If it's possible to match you with an opponent with more cards than you, then, it is a disadvantage. And I'm sure there will be these matches, especially in the mid+ pool 3, because it will be harder to find you an opponent with the same collection level/mmr/rank. So if you are spending, you can shorten this period. Anyway, I mean it's not only one seasonal card, it quite often will be way more cards than that. But, if you will be lucky or you make it work instead, then good for you.
P.S. And yeah, you can buy pool 3 cards that you need for tokens now, but it's not an advantage for you, because it's an advantage for everybody. In the end there will be more refined decks now because of that. And even more, your opponents can buy pool 4 and 5 cards they want now. So in practice this will not make your life easier.
I'm mostly F2P (I get the battle pass to make XP farming easier) so only had 9 Lich King packs to open at my private fireside gathering. Beat my past luck and got 2 legendaries (Vexallus and Bonelord Frostwhisper), and also got 2 epics. I don't expect my luck to hold, but I've got almost 9k gold ready to go on the 6th.

Saying that Ebony Maw makes DD bigger is not exactly correct. Any card you'd draw instead would do the same thing, except you'd have the option of playing it if DD isn't the right play.
E. Maw is not a very good Card. He's barely better than M'Baku
I guess you didn't know it but summoning a unit with a play ability won't activate it's play ability so that The Black Flame is essentially a more clunky Emperor's Dais in this deck.
... also does Irelia rotate out so I am not sure if your deck will be legal in that form.
... also you should consider domination for this deck as it was one of the best performing units in prior bladedance lists.
Revealing all cards on one day 1 week before expansion is pretty lame.
I could see revealing all cards 1 day before expansion so that players can't prebuild their decks and have more of a surprise or I could see the spiler/hype version but just throwing all cards out early is about as anti hype as it gets to me.
New Rogue Minion - Cutlass Courier
So this card got the Undead tag.
When I first saw this art, I thought, oh that's a Druid card for sure, just look at that mossy green dude.
Nope, a Rogue pirate, and now a zombie pirate. Will wonders never cease.
