For most of us, we have opened our pack and started playing some of the pre-fab decks and experimenting with the new cards. As always, the new mechanics are running rampant and "working" really well and showing some awesome power. As with every expansion, we can anticipate nerfs coming, Ashes of Outland came on a bit quicker than anticipated though.
With that in mind, I can see the potential nerfs because people will be barking about it pretty loud:
4) Soul Fragment - The reason I think people will complain about this is that it is an automatic "cast" that gives the Warlock and Demon Hunter health and another card. For Suicide Warlock, this is allowing them to actually use some bigger minions like Pit Lord that normally wouldn't see play and gives Demon Hunter some health back after attacking everything under the sun. I would predict that there will be a nerf to either the number of Soul Fragments that get added per card, or it will change to a (1) mana cost card. Either way it would really hinder the mechanic of the cards.
3) Glide - Manipulating the cards in your hand to take advantage of Outcast is something that Demon Hunter can do pretty well. The fact that this card ALSO manipulates your opponent's hand will have people barking about how unfair it is that you build a control deck only to have an aggro deck run this card to refill their hand and mess with yours. My prediction would be that they either remove the Outcast aspect or increase the mana to (5)
2) Lightning Bloom - The fact that you can bust this out and potentially get Kael'thas Sunstrider out WAY faster and start going off is going to have people up in arms. Even though that would require the "God hand", it was the same situation with Aviana druid decks. It requires a lot of set up, but once you had it, you went off. I'm thinking that they will nerf this to cost (1).
1) Secret Passage - Now for the crown jewel of the new Rogue arsenal... This card is so impressively abusive in both Standard and Wild formats. I have seen players drop this on turn 3, fire off 4 of the cards they drew, eliminate my side of the board beef up their newly drawn weapon, and come back with their original hand... and then do it again a couple of turns later. Honestly, it is such a great card and super fun to use, how could it NOT get targeted by nerfs. I imagine that they will need to balance out this card, since it can be activated with The Coin and you get 2 cards played which will help trigger any combo cards as well, to update it's mana cost to (2). Doing this will make it less likely to abuse the crap out of it right out the gate, but still show a lot of value.
What are everyone else's thoughts on these as well as other cards you can see people being irritated about enough to have Blizzard kill the cards?

This bitch just won’t die. With how easy she is to keep alive she feels overpowered maybe if Ionia didn’t have so many saves it would be fine and the cost to recall is a step in the right direction. Drains, vengeance, marking her with vulnerability and sending a unit with enough power to end her several times this bitch just eludes everything. Changing it so only her first spell each round is doubled or maybe even first two spells would still make her oppressive but not a guaranteed win.
“well kill her before she levels and end the game”
tired that I push everything to end the game but Ionia is very adapt to easily stall.
Is it just me or other people having bad karma?

I feel like Trundle is just a really bad champ. He has good base stats and that's about it. He takes up a slot that you could put in an actual good champ, his mechanic that the deck has to be built around is just God awful, his champ card is Trundle's Icequake; which is also a horrible card; and his level up does essentially nothing. At most you will get is +2 attack, +1 on average, and if you get +3 or more, well congratulations, you have a bricked hand and you are probably going to lose. His only redeeming feature is that he gives you a free Ice Pillar which is an okay card, but even then I'd rather just run the Ice Pillar without Trundle eating up a champ slot.
But those are just my thoughts. What are yours?

So, there is this survey that has been going around about a Battlepass that may replace gold gained from quests with an experience system. The short version of it is:
1) no more quests/gold per 3 wins
2) you receive experience through game modes that reward less gold and packs than you would usually grind for
3) disables you from saving 8000+ gold for an expansion launch
4) grant hero skin upgrades (which have little value compared to cards/gold/dust)
The worry is that this system is put in place to look like value is retained (like the AMA claimed) but the rewards themselves are worth less. If you gain less packs when the expansion launches and only earn some over the next months, these packs are worth less. Instead you are pushed to buy packs with real money to keep up with a meta.

It was stated at the end of competition 1.20 that you guys were looking at starting season 2 around the mid expansion time, are there any updates on a more specific date for it?

Greetings there! I'm here to present you my version of how I would change Mage's Core Sets. I'm jumping the bandwagon a bit with the changes after seeing some other people trying their reworks and generally accepting classes may need some updates.
This time, I've put crossfire onto Demon Hunter. This one is different, becuase DH doesn't have a Classic Set yet, but this will be a fun opportunity to theorycraft a potential one for the new class. Keep in mind that this change also includes an overhaul to their Hero Power, making it costing (2), but giving +1 more Attack on each version. It's more to streamline the class, to not confuse new players and to get a new perspective on the balance.
Strengths and Weaknesses
New Sets

Classic Set
Explanations
Battle Felguard - an aggressive minion to complement Demon Hunter's fast and furious, slash and hack playstyle. Aeladori Prophet - gives the class an access to manipulate their hand to benefit the most from Outcast effects. Warglaives of Azzinoth - changed from the unbalanced state to a more soft board control tool. Demonic Sigil - adds an evergreen Demon buff to Demon Hunter. Aside from giving a buff, it can also let the target attack twice. Skull of Gul'dan - changed from reducing the cost of cards drawn to reducing the cost of itself. Dark Portal - while it is card generation, it is more akin to Warlock by giving you Demons and not other cards. It's also not really a card generator, because you replace cards in your deck instead of shuffling some into it. Illidari Dancer - the ultimate attack buffer. Cordana Felsong - she's a warden in WoW lore, and so she provides some defensive capabilities to the class.

Hall of Fame
Well, just one card, but that is because Glaivebound Adept is already in the basic set, so it can be HoF'd.

Some cards that were considered, but didn't make the cut
Felosophy - well, card generation, but it would've probably been a fair one. Demon Companion - this was meant to be a Basic card due to simplicity and similarity to Animal Companion, but I forgot it was a dual class card. Cycle of Hatred - big AoE and summons, but maybe it was a little too good. Double Jump - was meant to give Demon Hunter an evergreen way to trigger Outcast more consistently, but tutors are dangerous in general, and Prophet probably does the job better. Blur - wouldn't mind seeing in the set. Ancient Void Hound - was thinking of trying to change it to be a defensive feaster, but maybe it was not worth the effort. Vilefiend Trainer - lacked room Priestess of Fury - also lacked room. Among many, many, MANY other cards…
