Finalized my thoughts on the rest of the cards (Rare, Common). So far it seems like a lot of cards are gonna be very good for arena. Some really powerful effects and lots of card generation. This will be interesting.
So to start with, I really want to add in powerful search features like the ones we have in Hearthstone. Doing cost, attack, and health queries are definitely going to happen and for people that are deckbuilding wizards, I feel like it would give them a good amount of power.
I'd also really like to find a way to allow people to add cards to decks faster. If, for example, you were filling out the search form and a single card was the result, hitting enter should add a copy of it to your deck. This desire actually stems from years of painfully entering hundreds of tournament decks and it taking forever to transcribe lists into a deckbuilder. Luckily we see deck codes quite often now in esports stuff which makes the whole transcription process take no amount of time compared to the old way, but it could again be a powerful tool for the deckbuilding elite.
As for your first request though, I think that's a very interesting idea and it would be cool to implement. Getting the interface perfect for it though would be key. My first instinct is we should have a single searchable field below the list which when input, would highlight cards that match that input. Typing in "elem" for example should not only highlight cards with the elemental tribe but also those which contain "elem" in the card text. That's just my initial reaction on how to go about implementing a feature like that though, there may be a better way and hey maybe we could even iterate on it.
Also, while on the subject of feature stuff for decks / deckbuilder, I just want to make it known that I want to allow people to "draw cards" on at least the deck pages so you can get a feel for a deck without taking it into game. Getting an idea of what cards you can get in your opening hand is a nice little tool to have and could even help with the deckbuilder experience too provided we find a nice place to put it :D
Don't get me wrong, I think it would be very cool to be able to export decks from one site to another. Supporting such a thing becomes very difficult though because you need to scrape through a lot of profiles and even more decks. I know HearthPwn specifically bans you temporarily for visiting too many decks too fast, it just wouldn't be feasible without a lot of different workers batching the deck scraping job. More workers ends up being more money.
With that said, I'm not saying no it won't ever happen, just not right now.
From what I've understood, HearthStation is made by the same people of HearthPwn but it's totally indipendent from the old one (that was acquured by Curse).
So I don't think a merge or an official transfer will happen.
81 packs. 3 legendaries. The third one was in the third last pack, so not happy. Got Khadgar, at least, but got the Murloc and Druid choose one guy. Not. Great
On last AMA someone, i m not entirely sure, maybe Ben, said: it will be special promotion like E.T.C. and this guy, who gives you random inventions like chiken, orb and other.
If you complete adventure: you will get golden for free. If someone wants him, you must craft it. It will not drop from packs. And, yes, he also said: it's like Whizbang with 5 new pre constracted decks. I don't know what kind of decks, but 5 it's not 9 and has less random, if they are all mediocre it will be not bad.
Please provide your source on Whizbang being in Standard, and Zayle never leaving Standard. There's no news that I've seen on Whizbang being put in standard, and no previous indication that it's even a consideration. That said, I do believe that once Boomsday rotates that he should be put into Classic, and even be given away to new players who reach Rank 20 with a dust refund to those who have it already.
And if Zayle doesn't produce top meta decks it doesn't mean it's a failure. I'm sure many people will have fun using the card even if it's not super powerful. Just like with Whizbang.
Owh, Sorry, I have missed that information about 5 decks and what they said about that and the thing about Whizbang the Wonderful being classic. I've just shared my thoughts about the card. It seems I was wrong because of lack of information.
I hope those informations are right and we get different weird decks from Zayle like Drageren said.

I would not buy the adventures with golden unless you really enjoying playing against the bosses.
spending 2800 gold on 12 packs is really bad, you are losing 16 packs, to get zayle, and a golden pack. so unless you think that zayle and the golden pack are worth 1600 gold, then I would not buy it at all.
Yes I know, but I assumed 3 free packs. Now if this will be 12 I will have an additional 9. If I would just count this toward the adventure it means I pay 700 gold for a golden pack and solo content. The solo content (fun aspect) is worth enough to me to spend that. I'll complete the first chapter first before making a real decision ;-)

I know that while deckbuilding, we can filter specific targets to look for what we want. It would be great if we can use these filters after a deck is published, too. If I wasn't clear enough, here's the example: I made an Elemental deck and I want to highlight Elemental minions on this page, not on Deckbuilder page. Like, when I choose Tribe as Elemental on this page (and not on Deckbuilder page), Hearthstation should highlight the Elementals here to see which Elementals I added for convenience. As color, maybe light orange would be great, just like on Hearthpwn.
Come to think of filters, while deckbuilding, I noticed there is no "in-between" or "comparison" filters. As example, I want to filter the attack of minions between 1 and 3. In Hearthstone, it's done with "attack:1-3" (without quotes), but not here. Please, moderators and administrators, implement both these options which would help us a lot.
Finally they're starting to give more free packs around. The loss of players maybe will wake up Blizzard and bring us some interesting and necessary changes all around HS (but the deletation of Tournament Mode sure was not a step in the right direction).
I know it's different subject, but i don't like in new expansion only 1 thing - adventure will be released only after 1 month. I want playing it after 1 week not 1 month waiting with 2800 gold and with waiting 15 packs.
I’m not entirely sure if Zayle can be played in standard at all. Maybe the card just provides special decks for the adventure, thus improving the experience playing it more than once... I don’t have the time to dig out the source at the moment, but something in the announcement gave me that impression

Pack Opening
This was my luckiest opening I have ever experienced. I have invested a lot of money into HearthStone but never with pre-orders, this was my first.
Out of 81 Packs got:
Archivist Elysiana, Barista Lynchen, Fel Lord Betrug, Jepetto Joybuzz, Arch-Villain Rafaam, Heistbaron Togwaggle
15 Golden Cards
I am happy. And I pray to the Blizz Gods to send me Golden Kalecgos on the launch day :D
