    What? The last 4 expansions that had reveal streams were all Kripp? It's become completely and utterly ridiculous in terms of blatant favoritism.

    Whirlkick has plenty of weaknesses. Doesn't handle Token Druid well, Warriors can be a pain, Paladins hold their own equally, it may fall to either Demon Hunter, Mage can do a similar amount of burst, and a good Priest/Warlock isn't in a bad spot either. It's just well rounded enough that flawless piloting can match most decks, and sometimes runs away through great RNG if opponents got no answer. But that's Darkmoon meta in a nutshell for many archetypes.

    No worries, there really might've been something off that have since corrected with the database. I was positive I used the right version from the get go, but this transition to new cards can be a confusing one.

    That's very strange. For me in the text article the link and everything displays correctly (new version, so it's blue to fit rarity), but for you it's showing as white/the old version? We would have to look into it.

    There is also the possibility of finding a legendary you don't have, since they seem to be on their own separate "pity timers". Not that it's something to bet on with just 1 pack, but worthy consideration for anyone who buys those bundles.

    I wish, but it was never quite *the* deck. Only briefly making its presence known, and then the quest became forgotten with the more recent expansions (despite the fact we got Dual Class cards).

    It does feel too slow and unreliable for the current meta, and Rogues are usually forced to develop tempo and push for swifter finish when you have no heals and ways to survive longer. Hoping to control the board only delays the inevitable, unless it's against no burn decks. 
    Plague Scientist on its own is often pointless when you have Coerce and don't need to waste another minion. But that's a nifty poisonous combo, at least on paper. Maybe if things truly slow down and become board focused again.

    Oh, good catch. Thank you. I will see about fixing that for further clarity and credit you for the mention. Must've been too sleepy when finalizing for these cards to read as one and the same to me. Not that they exactly saw play, but I should remember Scientist from the Arena times.

    Hmm, at which point? I thought the links were correct, but maybe I was missing something. The two versions thing will only be confusing if we end up playing Classic format a lot. ;)

    Wasn't exactly Hearthstone related, but I thought the Bolvar cosplay was the winner?

    Hmm, that's a shame. Making up just for the public but not really. Somebody there seems to like holding grudges.

    Yep, due to it not being that HS specific as you point out (besides a very small bit). Carbot is always fun to watch though, so it's a good mention!

    Those are some fun candidates. But... poor Bob, how could we do it to him?

    Thunder King crowdfunding bundle again, here we go with wishful thinking.

    You can only ever showcase one at a time and maybe 1% of players would ever take note and recognize it. If that. Then would proceed to shrug it off, because why care about random opposing player's cardbacks when you play against so many. And with hundreds of cardbacks now. I certainly never do, but then I barely even pay attention to my own. 

    It's a much better idea to offer them back for collectors and those who might wish to find a new favorite they might've missed by not playing back in the day. Personal aesthetic, nothing more.

    I'm glad whenever that happens. It does take more time and effort to be constructive, to be sure. I think in more specialized places (forums or subreddit) there are more people who are already invested in certain subjects. While general population has such a wide scope.

    But I also found out about the existence of that deck right here, so there's that. And gonna miss spell damage totem for other reasons as well.

    I think that might have been reading too much into it? It can be tempting to generalize at first, but hard to tell what's in people's minds and why they might react a certain way. Quite often due to getting a wrong idea. Community is more so the regulars you interact with than a random person or two who just decided to be rude or not relevant because they can. I would shrug those off when you make valid arguments; as you see they eventually find a fair reception.

    I share that downvoting sentiment, and it's unfortunate to see. Sometimes people just aren't very forgiving of opinions that don't reflect their own or don't fit the mold.

    No, that's been indeed stated by Celestalon. But maybe he just meant there was still another brand new mode incoming.

    Still awaiting that Esports bundle for crowdfunding to show up... hopefully they won't leave us hanging.
