I've had nothing but trouble with Imgur on mobile right from the start. FlickR is a nice alternative if someone needs one. You can upload 1.000 pictures for free there.
Got my fourth golden Hero today :) Odd Paladin took me to Legend last month and Handbuff was a nice deck to climb to top 1.500 after that. This season, I've grinded Aggro Paladin in Standard until the nerfs hit, culminating in a 17 games winstreak. The final push was made with Wild Mech Paladin, the Handbuff prototype.
Like with the other 3 Heros before, I wasn't having much fun anymore once I got close. It was too much of a grind. Not sure what to do next, maybe Warrior or Demon Hunter. I've also come to like Standard Miracle Rogue, maybe that's my ticket to the Classic mode.
You all forget about Oh My Yogg! which made discovering randomly a totally common thing. That may happen on your turn, but it happens randomly nevertheless without an explicit explanation on Oh My Yogg!.
Deck of Chaos was actually pretty cool during the Year of the Phoenix. I even went to the lengths of crafting Zzeraku the Warped for it. What really really hurts this deck is the loss of Plot Twist. Finding DoC isn't easy and sometimes you get stuck with all your high cost, low attack minions in hand. The card has great potential, it only needs a tutor or another draw engine like Plot Twist. Everything else is adjustable, especially as long as the Scholomance cards are around to autopilot your early game and allow you to play DoC without straight out losing the game.
Here's my list from before rotation for what it's worth.
Deck of Chaos
A Unknown Warlock Deck created by
anchorm4n. Last updated 5 years, 1 month ago
I like the 4 Mana version quite a lot. The 5 Mana Weapon is too complicated with the two restrictions and requires too much setup to be really worth it. The only issue I can see coming up is that Barrens has no other highlander card. But for me, that's only 4 instead of 5 stars and with a average of 4 you'll be fine :)
Demon
The Warrior card is super flavorful and I would probably rate it 4 stars if you made it a 6/6/6 (like in the song of Iron Maiden). What keeps me from giving it a top rating is what linkblade said: the tokens are too weak. Oh and I agree that "Riffy" is too much. That said, I do also like The Kingslayers quite a lot. The first one might be a bit too much, but if you decide to go with it, I suggest considering to cut the "from your deck". Or is this meant to be the card's weakness? What happens when it starts in hand? Really cool idea anyways!
Nirast
Nice idea, especially how you worked around the major catch of making a highlander spell (it becomes a dead card if you end up with duplicates in your deck). The power level is a bit hard to evaluate, but I'd probably cut the Overload. It makes the card more complicated than it needs to be. If you think it's too strong at 5, you can just raise the cost.
DestroyerR
Very creative idea, I like it! Maybe you can sneak a "on your turn" in the fourth line to prevent the issue linkblade has pointed out.
Doesn't look very cool to me either. What really confuses me is that Second Dinner is working on a Marvel game as well. Doesn't make much sense to give out the licenses to two competing studios, does it?
As a fellow metalhead I can only congratulate you for this awesome expansion. The amount of detail you have put into these cards is crazy, the art is super flavorful and streamlined, the additional stuff at the end super cool (pack opener!). I'd gladly preorder just for the flavor!
There are some typos left and quite a few cards that look scary at first glance, but I will try to find the time to give you detailed feedback on these points. Great work!
Looks like a slow start into the week... I'm sorry if I suggested a difficult theme again. I thought designing OP cards would be fun :(

Again, I hope you don't mind my own Demon Hunter card. Please tell me if you'd feel better if I went with something else. That said, what makes both our cards dangerous is the combo potential with Il'gynoth. While mine is somewhat limited because the cost of the Demons would still have to be paid, your card allows preparation via Weapons and is way cheaper. I do have to conceed that your card has much better flavor thanks to your great choice of its character. If we're lucky, Il'gynoth will get nerfed this week. Anduin is a nice and flavorful card as well. I do think it might end up too slow, though. Would it be possible to give him Taunt?
linkblade
Ooof, this is super hard to evaluate. The idea is certainly very strong, but I can understand grumymonk's reasoning that the card is too expensive. It reminds me of Luna's Pocket Galaxy that needed several attempts to find the right cost. I would advocate for making it cost 5.
Wailor
Very creative approach, super flavorful! I do like grumymonk's suggestion for the card text. Regarding the strength of the card, I'd compare it to Archbishop Benedictus. You're pretty much immune against fatigue which makes for great Control decks. I'd see this in Mill or Deathrattle builds, maybe Shuffle Rogue could also abuse it. Cool idea!
I've seen two decks this morning that I'd like to try out. The first one is BloodMefist's Memes and Dreams deck of the week, Menagerie Taunt Druid. The second one is a Deletelock for Wild which therottedzombie posted on twitter. Here are the lists:
When I copied them to my collection, I noticed that I was short of Plaguemaw the Rotting, 1 Dirty Rat and 1 Barrens Scavenger, so I sadly deleted the Druid deck and decided to buy 5 Barrens packs to fish for the Scavenger because I knew I had almost all epics already. Lo and behold, out pops not only the wanted Barrens Scavenger, but also Plaguemaw! Thanks Yogg!
Super nice idea, thanks a lot! When N'zoth came out I toyed around with a Menagerie Deathrattle Hunter, but this looks way more solid. Also the new format of the article looks great to me. :)
First idea, I hope it's not too close to grumpymonk's.
This is meant to support the Big Demon Hunter archetype that never really took off. Alandien is one of the three Demon Hunter teachers in charge of training new adepts in WoW. She was the first known female Demon Hunter in-game. [I had initially used Kor'vas Bloodthorn for this card, but Blizzard has made her a real card in the meantime.]
Dirty Rat?
*puts a flag on the coolest Hunter stuff 🚩

Count me in!
Can we make a wish which card to reveal? I'd like to showcase a Hunter legendary :)

Sorcerer's Apprentice? The usurper being Incanter's Flow (still my favorite riddle to date).

Congrats, MathU!
Mill Rogue is absolutely disgusting to play against. 5 turns stealthing their hero is just too much for me.
Good luck to the finalists!
