I think Blizzard have to make "Hall of Honor" (maybe different name)where could be placed cards from old expansions and they become playable for standart.There is a lot of perfect cards from ols exp-ons that deserve to become classic.Hearthstone is evolving,but main must-play cards are pretty old-fashioned.
Right. It's still got plenty of bullshit to go round, however, but what hasn't. It's like ygo on crack, half the health, half the cards, half the phases, games are normally done in a couple of minutes. It's perfect mobile fodder. I like it a lot.
I would definitely love having Reno Jackson back into Classic.
He not only enables a full-flavoured set of decks, but might put some pressure on the current decks consisting on a lot of 2x cards and built around certain class legendaries.
I have the standard Mono-Red deck. I was just playing around with other cards I have. Currently I have just bought 90 packs of War of Sparks and intro bundle. I am waiting to craft cards till the release of Core Set 20. Still trying to understand what is going to happen on the rotation. Seems like they will introduce a "wild" game mode and keep "standard" with the rotation.
I am also not sure what to craft I am sitting between Nico Bolas deck and Izzet Drakes. (I honestly just dont want to craft anything that will rotate in september.)
So, I'm playing Mech Pally vs. Mech Hunter. I decided to go super greedy here by not playing anything until a turn 5 Glowstone Technician, since he had a slow start. Turn 6 arrived and I completely roled the board around, ending up with tow giant mechs, one with taunt, and him with no board. On the downside, I was at 9 Health.
His turn 6 and 7 were slow which allowed me to draw 3 cards with a topdecked Countess Ashmore on turn 8 while trying to solidify a board state. He then pulled off a Venomizer + Missile Launcher combo on his turn 8, leaving me with 3 Health. On my turn 9, I was forced to Kangor's Endless Army my 2 mechs so I could have a fighting chance. On his turn 9, he topdecks Bomb Toss. Again, I was at 3 and he saw me draw 3 cards with Ashmore, so he should know I had Zilliax in hand. BUT! He played his entire hand before playing Bomb Toss, leaving him no leftover mana to Hero Power me to death.
Now, I don't know if that was just BM or of the guy was just that bad, but boy it felt good to lifesteal myslef out of lethal range and see him forfeit the next turn.
PS: I know mulliganing my Consecration ended up being a bad play, but in my head, if he started strong, I had a turn 2 2/5 to fight the board, hence me mulliganing it.
Sure, I've got lots of room for new cards and all ideas are still malleable. I was afraid of making Grond to OP frankly, as I tend to do that with powerful lore characters, but I see what you mean. Should I give him Rush or something to buff him up a bit?
I like the idea as well. It's nice to see everything laid out so we can see what classes could use more heroes and talk about ideas for some of them. Far easier to do when the pictures are laid out like that.
Man I hate lucky pogo rogues. I play zalay (ofc got silence priest, again) got the rogue down to 3 hp and than he casts 4 vanishes. Every time I can put lethal on the board. Than ofcourse his pogo's are huge and he topdecks zilliax. He heals for 20. Me #ragequite
As frosty said, there are all presented in the Class Lore & Basics guides (also linked in my sig).
There is some relevant lore for most of them, some more than others as they did create some new characters.

Are you a f2p new player and don’t have the cards for a real deck? From what I’ve seen consistency is key in MTGA and a lot of “1-of’s” is the opposite of that. Most strong decks use 3-4 of the best cards, Which makes them strong. But until we craft all those sweet rares, there’s not much option besides using Sub-optimal subs and 1-of’s.
(not a critic towards your deck! Just general thoughts
IMO Siphon Soul should be changed otherwise, somehow, or make it cost 4 mana, and heal less: Even warlock really need that removal, but again, IMO.
The other suggeestions are OK, maybe the Lightning Storm should get 1dmg (3-4dmg), instead of cost reducing: It's problem is making the minions at 1 hp, not that you can't play early because of the cost.
I didn't even run that card in even lock spellstone is just so much better, and I was not thinking about wild at all in those buffs since wild is so much powerful than the classic set..
yeah I agree the damage values are what feels bad but I restricted myself to the current buff rules to I would lower the overload by 1, or change as you said, lowering the cost makes it more likely you could totem before you storm so you have that..
While I agree on almost all of those suggest buffs, improving Classic it's something that goes in the opposite direction of having Hall of Fame: as already stated many time by Blizzard, Classic should be good but not too much otherwise each new expansion set's card will see little play because many decks will always run the same 10-15 Classic cards no matter what.
Imho, the cards you mentioned are "bad" for a design choice and for the explicit will of keeping them as an alternative for players missing certain new cards, without being themselves a must have.
Might have to give this one a try. Likely will try to make a similar build with the Immortal Prelate, Mechano-Egg, and Da Undatakah package. But I know the Immortal stuff doesn't work great against fast decks. Personally love this style of Paladin. Used to run a "Buff Copy" deck with [Hearthstone Card (Vala'nyr) Not Found], Saronite Chain Gang, Echoing Ooze, and Doppelgangster for the multiple copies of minions with the weapon deathrattle. It kind of died with the SCG change.
I’m in love with MTGA. It looks more generous at first but when you try to go competitive you see how expensive most decks are. Even mono-red aggro is not cheap, and needs a lot of rares (HS equivalent of Epics). Anyway it feels great to farm dailies and slowly build your collection towards your dream decks. I completely dropped HS these last days..
Gruul midrange is a cool deck and pretty expensive too, but the control ones (Esper etc... Forget about it.
Honestly, I hope it's either Mr. Chu, Squeemlish, or Ol' Barkeye. Any class that only has a single non-basic hero option. Though, frankly, because of how bad Alleria is, Hunter really needs this one. Rexxar is the only original hero I still use at this point.

Some other stuff that we didn't clip (at least not yet):
Around 2:53:30 Mike shared a story about Ben Brode being a professional Rock-Paper-Scissors player long time ago. He insisted it's true.
Heist boss Kara Stamper is also getting slightly nerfed (about 3:13.20)
Right at the end Mike gave some card desing insight: They want to push the limits of cards rather than always playing it safe with balance
Kara Stamper is really easy unless she just keeps discarding jeklik which happened to me in the last 3 times I faced her but not before if she doesn't draw jeklik she runs out of steam quickly.. is the slight nerf a removal of jeklik?
He did mention that it was the heroic ersion he was speaking of.
"They would love to do at least one Heist hero as a playable character"– Exactly what I had in mind. IMO the real reward for completing the heist should've been all nine Heist Heroes as playable character skins (given the condition to aquire them would've been to complete all progression marks in both normal and heroic), though that might be too much for a reward.
Hoping Squeamlish gets the playable treatement, though. Also looking forward to the replacements for the HoF.

Are the replaces for witchwood & classic or what?Am I correct to assume He did not elaborate on this at all ?
If they're gonna buff classic cards , then Illidan , and Tinkmaster should just be un nerfed.
They really shouldn't be playing it safe since they changed the professional forma .
