There are so many different ways this effect could be used; I cannot imagine this not seeing play in a majority of decks.

Didn't have to loose charge, he just said that it did have charge. Leeroy would be a possibility.... That, or [card]Arcane Golem[/card]

This is a really roundabout way to just say "Deal 8 Damage to an enemy or restore 8 to a friendly character"

It is to be noted that in the official card library it still lists [card]Mind Shatter[/card] as a related token so I wonder if they just removed it fro mthe text but it still works the same. Would be a …

2000 gold and you just get all the new cards? Am I understanding this correctly? That would be unusually generous if so. Wish they had the same sentiment with the expansion mega bundles.

In blizzard's own post under shaman Card draw is listed as the class' weakness actually.

I'm not asking to remove all weaknesses from a class but I don't see the harm in keeping some tiny elements of it around. Shadowform …

It seems to be an inconsistant application of their rules. I get that direct damage is something priest is supposed to be bad at but to not have them have a single card that can do it feels stupid if …

I was so upset they moved [card]Shadowform[/card] to the Hall of Fame since it would forever have to compete with [card]Shadowreaper Anduin[/card] in wild (and always loose).

I'd say just nerf [card]Shadowreaper Anduin[/card]. His Hero Power and [card]Spawn of Shadows[/card] are what break Reno Priest. Raza is fine, because a free Hero Power is not as big of an upside, it's just …

I don't know if this is because of this patch or has been liek that the whole time but I just received the shaman achievement to "deal 16 damage with my hero in one turn" by playing Hagatha, the Witch.

I may just be a negative nancy here but the balance changes seem to not do anything to the mode other than remove some high rolls (and kill rogue for some reason). Demon Hunter in Duels wasn't overpowered because of …

Honestly, I would have prefered the "+1 attack, can be used twice" over what they got now. This class is just way too efficient compared to other classes in my opinion. No other class in the game has been nerfed …

Honestly, at this point, would that even destroy the class? I get that the cheaper hero power is kind of its gimmick but considering their cards are usually just better version than what other classes can do, would it even …

Yes, Raza was okay nerfed but it was completly useless with a hero power other than [card]Shadowreaper Anduin[/card]'s. And I would love to be able and play raza priest with [card]Galakrond, the Unspeakable[/card] HP or the [card]Activate the Obelisk[/card] HP …

Not uncounterable has never been a reason to not nerf cards from a deck. If you run specific cards against it, yes, every deck is counterable.

Well no. The problem is the cost of the hero power. Raza Priest was not a tier 1 deck for many months when Raza got nerfed.

If the cost of the hero …

That's not true. The sad thing is that even if you buy al lthe preorders, you still have to grind experience/gold to get everything you want. Which is even more damning for F2P players.

You should realise you are talking to people who likely pay up to 240$ a year for this game. They are not the greedy ones here.

Honestly we should really begin asking ourselves how the Hearthstone monitisation is even ethical anymore. Blizzard expects us to drop 80$, more than any AAA-game on release date, three times a year - and you get like 30% of the …

Oh that's fair enough (and kinda scummy to hide it behind that steep condition). Still, it's fairly unusual for no a single site to even mention that there is new content in a brand new mode.
