It would be a real nightmere to balance properly, just look at how Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater were forced in HoF earlier or how much DKs forced almost everyone to play them (ofc some are far better than others also thanks to their battlecry). Also it may requires a whole balance round for potential broken interaction.
It's a nice idea, but probably it should have been implemented since the start of the game instead of being thrown in at this point.
I agree! These articles always include at least one deck I'm super-psyched to try, whether something actually competitive or just a sweet, sweet meme list. :)
This looks positivly ridiculous. Either you are rushed by aggro, or you didn't find Luna's Pocket Galaxy on 7 and burn your cards while having a full hand, OR (quite unlikely, I suppose) you live by turn 7, play 'Galaxy, and flood the board with monsters.
I think this is a good idea, but maybe it would be better to have it be more like Baku, as in a legendary card that says "Start of Game: Replace your Hero Power with the alternate one for your class"
Did you know that the dinosaure in the Brann matchup of this weeks tavern brawl is vulnerable to poison?
I had the cloak bonus, so all cards cost half and played Worthy Expedition into Wardruid Loti with poisonous and stealth on turn 1. On turn 2, I attacked and killed the dino - game won!
He could even have died on turn 1 if the random attack did not hit face :
Thanks that poison helped me a lot :-) and finally defeated last boss of the brawl...
I agree there should be improvements to the new player experience, one thing tho, the xpac announced at Blizzcon will not start a new HS year. You're thinking one more xpac in advance :)
Allowing all classes to collect and use the other basic hero powers would be an enormous balance headache and would also lead to dozens of additional card nerfs for cards that aren't an issue.
Plus chances are they would dump all of the hero powers into the laps of warlock, mage, priest, and warrior with only a wink and a nod for card nerfs while eviscerating (pun intended) the class cards of classes like rogue, druid, or shaman. Zomg can't let rogues get tempo or face hero powers without nerfs, but by all means warriors, priests, and mages with life tap? Psh, favored classes will be favored classes. Can't have too much control power creep.
Dalaran Heist gave us the possibility to choose a hero power for our class. Why not bring this to the PvP part of the game?
Here's how I imagine it: Hero powers would become collectible just like other cards. HOWEVER they would not be considered cards properly speaking because they would have a specific slot for them in each deck list. All 9 existing hero powers would be part of the basic set. Then, from time to time, Blizz could give us collectible hero powers as the second class legendary slot for each class, kinda like Quests right now.
Non-basic Hero Powers wouldn't need to have the restrictions of basic ones. They could be passive; have a cost different from 2; have an effect with keywords in them and that is more specific than the basic hero powers which were designed to be versatile; etc... It would also be the occasion to give ping hero powers to classes that don't have one but desparately need one (hi Priest and Warlock).
Blizzard already has part of the code done for that since it's done in Heist. Pain Split and Touch of Bark, for instance, both look like good candicates. On the other hand, Cut-less and The Pact aren't due to the tempo they generate.
My favorite moment was when i was playing Quest Highlander Mage against a Murloc Paladin, he played Fishflinger and it gave me Sir Finley of the Sands. I could tell that he was so confused when my heropower changed from deal 1 dmg (Quest not done yet, it was like turn 3) to Tank Up! (Gain 4 armor). It was hilarious!

My favourite Uldum moment was when I got Dinotamer Brann from a pack! Great card!

Collectible hero powers, a simple idea to add more depth to the game?
I think that in general it could be a good idea though, they would just have to make sure that the new Hero Powers were very well balanced

Would think this deck should have Sonya - just not sure what to take out
