Good, now add it to all other cards which can possibly generate themselves. Going infinite on a card should not be a thing, but this was obviously the most egregious offender since it also makes the cards cost 0.

Very justified. Looking at the most-played Pirate Warrior deck on HSReplay, it's very clear that it's incredibly busted. Having Ancharrr in your opening hand boosts the winrate of the deck from 57.9% to 72.1%, which is over 10 percentage points more than the #2 card (Sky Raider with 61.2%). Extreme outliers like that should be nerfed.

There is always a certain amount of subjectivity in such a list, also by which measure you decide whether something is craftable. For instance, is it worth crafting a very well-performing legendary if it only functions in  a single deck with a bunch of other expensive cards (like Raza the Chained)? Or is it better to craft a legendary that's the star of a bunch of different otherwise cheap tier 2 decks (like Leeroy Jenkins)? Because of things like this, everybody would have a different crafting guide. But I think that, as long as the crafting guide is paired with a good explanation why a card is worth crafting or dusting, it would be a valuable addition for new players. It would take a lot more effort and time than a simple copypaste from HSReplay with the most played cards though.

The main deck I've been playing with is Embiggen Dragon Druid.

Agreed, which is why I put it under the substitution section. However, the meta is so tempo dominated that I think both might not be the best choice, and you're better off running something like Twin Tyrant or Evasive Drakonid instead.

Good question! It's definitely a midrange deck, and it can win without Embiggen. However, Embiggen makes every card you play after it better than a card your opponent can play for the same cost, so I would definitely say it helps with winning.

Hi guys,

With the new DoD expansion out, one of the few epics I opened 2 copies of was Embiggen. Now this is a very unique card, which is similar to good ol' Prince Keleseth. When I first started building a deck around it, I had to decide what way to go. Embiggen really wants you to play as many minions as possible, because that way you can profit as much from its effect as possible. That rules out Quest Druid and Token Druid, since those run a huge amount of spells, reducing the effectivity of Embiggen.

Because the new card Breath of Dreams seemed busted as hell (and it is), I decided to take the deck into a dragon direction. The gameplan is simple: Mulligan for Embiggen and Breath of Dreams, play overstatted minions, go face, win. The sidequest Strength in Numbers is a great addition as well, because it can pull big rush minions out of your deck for large boardswings. I am only playing 1 copy of it so far because I didn't open a second one yet, and I don't like crafting cards this early. For this same reason I have not included Frizz Kindleroost, and it's also why I run Ysera instead of Ysera, Unleashed.

Currently, I have a 77% winrate. However, I am not 100% sure of the decklist yet: The early game is still a very rough area, but too many small minions interfere with the sidequest and are bad topdecks in the lategame.

Does anybody have any suggestions with which to improve my decklist, and how have you built this deck yourself? Let's brainstorm the best version of Embiggen Druid together.

Interesting, my Dragon Druid deck is quite similar but also quite different from yours. How do you deal with aggressive decks? I found rush minions and early-game minions quite necessary, especially the rush minions since they synergise great with Strength in Numbers.

I assume it's a start of turn effect. Shouldn't be too hard for your opponent to clear 2 0/3's on turn 6, considering you just spent 6 mana to make a 5/5. Seems like a pretty bad card.

I think this is quite a bit worse than Restless Mummy, because the mummy's strength is that you can drop it on turn 4 and swing the board in your favour. This card requires you to play not only 1 but 2 invoke cards before it, and it is a 3-drop. Sure, if you manage to play an invoke card on turn 1 and 2 it's insane, but I don't see that happening consistently enough for this card to be better than Restless Mummy.

There's a typo in the card text of Deranged Netherwing: Should be characters instead of charaters.

Did anyone here watch the first weekend of the Hearthstone Global Games? I feel like the marketing, prize money, production value, attention given and tournament duration are all way under par for a tournament which could be the largest event in Hearthstone. I would have loved to root for my country all tournament, but now they're already knocked out after 3(!) games. The viewership was very low as well, probably because most people didn't even know it was going on or who were playing in it. What are your opinions on this tournament?

Played winrate is a terrible metric to judge cards by. Of course Earthquake has a low played winrate, because you never play it when you're already winning. You only play it when trying to turn around a game in which you're far behind. This also explains why Dinotamer Brann is so far ahead of the other cards: It's very often played as a finisher, and played winrate doesn't account for all the times it's stuck in your hand. You see the same for cards like Pyroblast and Mind Blast.

Priest has one of the strongest decks right now with the combo priest. Amet, Psychopomp and Injured Tol'Vir are all crazy strong cards. It just seems to be another expansion of Divine Spirit Inner Fire being the only viable win condition.

"No spell" while it runs 2 spells, one of which is in the Top 3 for the most obviously busted cards in all of Hearthstone. All you're proving is that a no spell highlander mage can indeed not be done, since this isn't a no spell highlander mage.

This is not the most up to date list. She swapped out Overflow for Faceless Manipulator, swapped out both Worthy Expedition for Crystal Merchant and swapped out Alexstrasza and 1 Starfall for 2 BEEEES!!!.

Omni/ conspiracy... They are behind both EVIL and LoE

They play both sides, so that they always come out on top.

Great picks, another card I'm really looking forward to is King Phaoris. It will probably not be the best card, but it's very cool, and that's what matters! And, while on the subject of big spells: Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron. Yogg's back, baby! Out of all the cards you listed I gotta put Elise the Enlightened on #1 though, even if it's just because I spent a lot of time theorycrafting a cool combo deck ever since she got announced:
