Tribes should have a characteristic mechanic or gameplay quirk that ties them together, in addition to showing up often enough to justify them. Murlocs are good at swarming, Demons have self-damage, Elementals have 'If you played an Elemental last turn', etc.
Dragon and Mech were both retroactively given mechanics to bring them in line with this - Dragons in hand and Magnetic respectively - so I think you'd have to consider how you'd be tying your Kobolds together. This is especially tricky, because you'd need to consider all the existing Kobolds and how they'd play with it.
I think Undead is the most likely next tribe. It has a ton of flavour potential, is moderately splashable in any set, and has a lot of space to explore with Deathrattle related mechanics for their unique effect.
An old comment but this.
Tribes are not something used for flavor or to match WoW. It's a game mechanic. It's used for a PURPOSE. Elementals got their tag not beacuse we had 'a lot of elementals' but because a very specific mechanic that they wanted to use and decided that the elemental minions would work well for it. Thus they got a tag.
Undead, Kobolds, all of those other things need a REASON to be marked with a tag. Not because they are 'undead' or a 'kobold' but beacuse there's a specific THING you want them all to do together. Without that, there's literally no reason to tag them.
If you want Kobolds, then give them a mechanic that specifically NEEDS them to be doing together that other cards shouldn't be doing.
I find magic to be a little... too much. I like it, but it's really a big slow game. Hearthstone is better to play online. I would like play magic with friends more then on a videogame, where you wouldn't be frustrated by mistakes or not owning meta decks.
You can feel that Magic was born in another age, when games and people where different. Now thinking that HS, Magic, ygo links and Clash Royale are competitor is someway strange.
Magic is also really good (and a lot less frustraing than HS Arena mode I find) - not to mention, drafting in Hearthstone lets you keep the cards you draft! This is HUGE! Imagine if you could do that in HS-Arena? It would be so much more popular.
JUST to correct you, to not find people not understanding this, the right sentence is:
drafting inMagiclets you keep the cards you draft! This is HUGE! Imagine if you could do that in HS-Arena? It would be so much more popular.
Anyway, a problem on this is that Hearthstone got less cards every expac or anyway the game can't permit a similar system due to pity timer etc etc, really problematic trust me.
BUT, i would enjoy a format like that, even if I have to spend 1000 golds to get 5 packs, making decks made of 25 cards.
No need to change, I am fine with how it looks. As I am trying to migrate my decks -and guides- from Hearthpwn to here, I will sure let you know if that issue happens again.

Really looking forward to this update. I just hope it will allow some less playable archetypes to be a little closer to that 50% + frontier. Also, if they are going to continue the trend of doing really good things for the game and the players (it has been a few months of only that! ) they won't give warrior any new value generating / removal cards in August and just introduce a little different way to use bombs or other stuff.
Kobolds as playable race in WoW could happen someday! That would make all the players be forced to commit genocide on their own race but well, you should've not take the candle!
I've actually considered it quite a few times. The site is very usable without paying but it would be nice to see around rank 4 through legend stats instead of everything.
I know magic carpet sounds nice but will it matter actually? Only 1 drop you have is Pogo and there's no way adding another 1 drop without ruining Piper. Also you probably don't make big enough pogos to fight the aggro early on. If you want it as a late game tool it's gonna be a dead card in your hand until you have a chance to make medium-big pogos and it doesn't help with your game plan. Card draw seems more relavant. So I'd cut both of it for more draw. Novice engineer would work well also with the shark. Other than that I like the deck :)

Not implemented yet, but will be a thing for sure.

What was your first impression of Magic when you began playing?

Do you pay for HSREPLAY Premium access?
I don't but I'm extremely casual. Paying to help me in a game I play, at best, 2-3 games on a day at ranks 15-12 doesn't sound very...sound.
But the word I hear is that if you have any desire to move past Dad Legend (rank 5) then it's very much worth the subscription.

I cant see a report/flag a post button. Not that its needed just yet, but I think it will be helpful in the future.
Is this site synchronized with InnerKeeper
I think I said this in a similar thread, but I cant find it. Linux or at least wine friendly would be nice.

I do. The info on matchups is very helpful.
What's your favourite Dragon related card in Hearthstone?
Duskbreaker. It fit Priest's playstyle and theme so well. Especially since I can clutch Discover it from Netherspite Historian.

Any Idea how I could replace Angry Chicken?

Do any of you guys actually pay for Premium access to HSREPLAY?
Just came here from Hearthpwn
Okay, let's give it a try. Gonna miss the old one for sure but change is not always as bad as we think of it.

How much damage do the explosives do when drawn? 5?

I agree with the replacement. Novice Engineer has also synergy with Shadowstep, it's what I use in my version.
Site Errors when going to Threads or Decks page from Profile
I possibly should have specified:
It wasn't intended as a complaint, it was just a bug report. (Assuming this is the place for that.:-D )

I confirm the error is both on desktop and mobile version of the website.
Sounds like the buttons are broken, directing nowhere, or somewhere actually misplaced.
