I chose quest hunter with draw and rush minions. It is difficult for your opponent to clear the board, so you'll always have minions to buff. Probably not the strongest strat, but a bit of fun and should net you the win for a pack.
"We want our rating system to both provide a sense of progression through gameplay and create fair matchmaking. It’s very hard to achieve these two things simultaneously by using only one rating. Therefore, we designed a “dual-rating” system to address our intention. In the updated rating system, there are two ratings—external rating and internal rating:"
Assuming that you continue to play and get better, it will mean that the "sense of progression" is to get demoted back to the start and make your climb back to where you were more difficult. I don't think that's something that appeals to everyone?
Should be a 5/5. Rakanishu does pretty much the same thing on his Hero Power, and I don't think it's setting the stats. Otherwise Lil'Rag would be quite bad.
When I first read it I thought 4/4. Which like you said, is bad! 5/5 is much better :
I think they should change the reward system for arena.
I played arena when I first started. I'm F2P, had barely any cards to make a deck, and didn't know any good sources for budget decks. Getting a ~5 win average meant I was getting cheap packs and cards to build my collection and lots of real-world experience. I was very excited with my first ever 12 win.
Now I build up 8k+ gold per expansion (playing standard), and with dupe protection, this gives me a solid base of cards. Together with careful timing with my card dusting, I no longer think arena is worth it. Having a bigger collection doesn't help my arena runs, and classic packs aren't that useful either (even though I don't have the complete collection yet).
I think they should change the reward system for arena. It's good that it will help towards battle pass *in addition* to its own rewards, but surely it could be tweaked to be better for more players?
Aren't there already cards a bit like that? Random cards look different in hand than in play (eg Animal Companion). So as long as it is clear and consistent. You wouldn't it to be misleading (or would they?)
@Fluxflashor mentioned MTG - are there examples from other card games, that can be linked to?
I watched the announcement about the announcement. Tonight I'll be charing meeting to discuss the upcoming announcement meeting.

Has anyone else noticed that the minimum dust total for a pack is 40, the pity timer for legendaries is 40, and that 40*40 = 1600 - the cost to craft a Legendary.
So, 4000g is pretty much 2 legendaries guaranteed (because you'll get some golds and epics too).
It has nothing to do with your badge rank. Only based on MMR. You can never reach legend (let alone "high legend") and still get x11 multiplier. It just depends on your MMR.
The badge ranks are utterly, completely, meaningless. HSReplay 'filter by badge rank' is not useful any more. VS breakdown by badge rank is, similarly meaningless. None of it knows what the MMR was of those players at that badge rank at the time of the match.

Looks interesting :)

Horseman Uther looks pretty dope
I don't understand how this improves anything. Maybe there are some new rewards?
The Lil' Rag - does that add the stats, or set the stats? If I'm tier 4, will my 1/1 become 5/5 or 4/4 ?
It looks like the rolling dust cost, as you build decks, only counts a single copy. You hit save, the dust cost rises dramatically.

Try focussing more on the achievement than on the points.
If no one saves a pack, nothing appears on the homepage widget. There's no link in the menu. So, nobody will find it without Google.
How to replicate:
Where I noticed it:
I dunno
Thanks.
