This is a terrible idea, since it really punishes people with small collections. I know plenty of people that disenchant every card from certain classes so that they have enough resources to play what they want from other ones. This would basically lock those people out of progressing as fast as people who throw plenty of money at the screen. This would push Hearthstone even further into P2W territory than it already is, as the amount of money you spend on the game (giving you options of playing many classes) will directly correlate with your bonus stars and thus your rank.
Yes Quests are Spells , like Secrets or Sigils - which also have not an extra type and don't realy need one i guess !
Cost Reduction does not work with the Quest - for example if the Quest says play an 8-Cost card it only recognizes the Cost you play it for - not the original cost. So if you have an 8 Cost card and reduce that to 7 it will not count as 8 Cost for the Quest.
Hope that helps!
Isn't this reported as a bug? Apparently the cost reductions for cards costed more than 8 wouldn't be considered in the priest quest but anything below that will look at the cost reductions. Reddit reporting, so take that for what you will.
That, i do not know ... could be a bug but if i remember correctly a Card that works like the Quest should always look at the reduction and not the original - could be mistaken of course

Great compilation, looking forward to trying out some of these, Otsuna's Paladin especially. I've been having some success with a slightly modified N'zoth Paladin already, and this looks even better. Alliance Bannerman is one heck of a card.
but still, a low stat dragon is not impressive, if they didn't retain the stats now that would be something.
The thing is, the most impressive thing is usually in their card text. Just imagine a 2 mana 2/3 with [Hearthstone Card (Alexstrasza, the Lifebinder) Not Found]'s battlecry, or [Hearthstone Card (Ysera, the Dreamer) Not Found]'s. Plenty of dragons have an effect like that that can swing the game.

Thank you for compiling this information despite the complete lack of communication from Blizzard. Rooting for Floki this season!
From what I've heard it's a bug specifically with the 8-cost step of the quest: a Draconic Studies discounted Ysera the Dreamer does not count, but a discounted Power Word: Fortitude does.

Why no Barricade?
Nice idea, any reason we aren't playing Taelan Fordring? Seems like an obvious fit to make sure we draw Lady Prestor. Sphere of Sapience and Pursuit of Justice seem too slow for me.
With your hero power it becomes a 4 mana 3/4, with another hero power 6 mana 5/4... still not convinced ;)
My Handlock list which I'm very excited to try out:
How long until Evenlock is just Genn + 29 giants?
Is there a reason we're not playing Charged Call? Seems like a no-brainer in this deck

Crazy in Handlock, decent applications in other decks. Don't sleep on it.
Good in stealth rogue, bad everywhere else.
Bit too slow, but might end up being useful at some point
What mechs do we even want to discover? Just bad
Just bad, tradeable cards assume you do want the original card at some point.
Boar support baybeee! Also actually quite good with Wolpertinger.
Probably the worst "big hand" card they released this expansion. Great with Lady Prestor.
Better Piloted Shredder, will probably see play in Deathrattle DH.
One of the worst tradeable cards, just not very good by itself.
