Would it be a good idea to disenchant any of these wild cards for dust before we get the free ones, or is our ownership of the free ones only as long as the event and we would loose them later?
I hope all of the cards rotating back in are freebies that can't be disenchanted, that would make it great for playability for everyone, not everyone enjoys playing wild.
yes. To ensure that everyone can participate in this meta-mixing event, we’ll be granting everyone free copies of each card (these copies cannot be disenchanted or crafted) so they can add these heavy-hitters to their decks and get them into the action.
I will be testing Flame Ward, it's good against enemy board, but the problem is that it's not generating pressure on enemy - it only attacks minions.
As for the Ice Block... its game winning card in many, many scenarios. I used to dislike it, but then I included 1x for testing. And it was amazing tool. After a while I included second one and I stick with it since.Very often I end up in situation where my enemy has huge board and very few health. With Ice Block I have extra turns for finding lethal.

Please understand and don't make this about my friend. It's not about him or how well he will do against other players in general or what are his outs from the situation he put himself in. He didn't start this topic asking for help or to blow off some steam. I stared this discussion about something you might be interested to talk or might want to know about. My friend's experience on ladder is used just to make myself understood and to offer some insight of the whole condition.
That being said, it's about unfair matchmaking by an automated system, which allowed a "newbie" and a "pro" contest each other not once but consistently, just because it's convenient for the pro to abuse said system for profit. Do you find getting steamrolled and bullied that way fair? Maybe it doesn't affect you and you couldn't care less. Let us hear your thoughts on the whole new player experience from your point of view, rather than tips on what decks to play or which format and what strategy would be beneficial to them.
Don't be preposterous. Your friend's circumstances are absolutely pertinent to his "problem". In a card game you're obviously going to be at a disadvantage to people who have complete collections if you have barely any cards. That's the nature of the beast. People giving you tips and workarounds aren't doing so out of malice or apathy, they're doing so because they understand that the fundamental nature of card games isn't going to change just because your friend had a bad experience.
In a ranked system, you will win or lose until you reach a rank where the wins and losses even each other out. Again, that's not an evil algorithm, that's just the nature of a ladder system.
You haven't convinced me that there is a problem here, other than your unwillingness to consider changing your friend's approach to the game rather than demanding the game itself change.

Yeah I thought for sure they would set it so you have to kill the plague lords in one run on heroic. Pretty surprising to me that they didn’t.
probably because it would ridiculously frustrating, since each of the boss phases requires a different type of strategy.
For example you can easily beat the Murloc's first two phases with a minion focussed deck, but the last phase ruins this strategy by just stealing your board and leaving you helpless
I'm genuinely puzzled by the hostility toward the suggestion that the weakening mechanic be made optional. If you like the way it works now, just don't hit the button, don't opt out. I don't see why you'd want to deny others the experience they want if it comes at no cost to your own. There's no reason it has to be one way or the other.
Do you know who else is stuck on the "75%" floor of this outdated image? Players who have abandoned the game for good and those who deserted or don't climb the ladder with their quest farming/"play-a-friend" accounts etc. That 100 million milestone that Hearthstone achieved some years ago, counts those accounts too. I know for a fact that, if you ever tried deleting your Hearthstone account, you would be asked for some form of ID to send them in order to process your demand. So, not carying anymore, they just leave and unsubscribe from mailing lists, having nothing to do with the game anymore and Blizzard gets to boast about their ever-growing, loyal fan base.
What I care about, is the new people who hear about this popular CCG as well as the community that sustain it, the guides and support outside of it etc, and get super-hyped to start a fresh account only to have their expectations crashed by examples like these. I do want new people to join in and feel valuable, protected and treated with respect from the game itself most importantly. If they do feel like it, they are going to support both the devs and the community with any way possible and the game will flourish. I'm saddened to say that my friend is not going to be one of them; "To hell with him", right? "This must be a very particular case of a low-motivated folk". Or is it?
Your buddy shouldn't expect to be able to compete at the highest level right out of the gate and with barely any cards to his collection, especially if he's had experience with other card games. If I enter a constructed tournament in MtG with a janky budget deck I should have every expectation to lose to people who invested the time and money to get all the necessary cards. Just like Magic has Limited formats, so too does HS have Arena, where you fight with cards you drafted for that run, and collections are irrelevant. Maybe your friend can play arena until his collection allows him to build better ladder decks?
Btw your remark about early game for dragon priest: a 2/3 on 1 and a 2/4 taunt on 2 are not enough?
Interesting enough list. Not sold on Skulking Geist, it's too niche for my liking.
There are plenty of counter punches to a 2/3 on 1 and a 2/4 taunt on 2, even if played on curve. Dragon Priest is 100% about getting the most mileage out of your minions, if you can get nothing to stick on board early enough you are in dire straits. It needs some manner of early game protection be it via spells or other health buffing minions to be really consistent.
Thanks yeah added skulking for the jades i encountered and mecha tun druids. When you don't encounter them other early game or emporer thausarian (for otk potential) would work, although that's a win more
Agreed. It's very misleading as it makes it like Gnome is the one making those comments.
On a side note, man "pro" players and casters really are a petulant entitled bunch aren't they? It's atrocious the behavior the gaming community has cultivated as "normal".

I used to run 2x [Hearthstone Card (Kabal Crystal Runner) Not Found] but I switched one for Cloud Prince.
I will be testing Flame Ward, it's good against enemy board, but the problem is that it's not generating pressure on enemy - it only attacks minions.

The Dragonlander 2.0
Hey, that´s actually a pretty cool idea. I openend War Master Voone a while ago in a pack, but i didn´t know what to do with him.
I´m definitely going to try this deck out!
Should I craft Leeroy?
DO IT!!!!!

Priest is currently trash in wild & it would be a pertinent problem for the class in near future.

People complaining about combo decks when literally 90% of the meta is aggro, and only one control deck is viable lmao

Darkbomb was good, so why would it be that surprising that another version of that would be good
