Also there is much more variety in Wild, while Standard has alwasy been dominated by 2-3 top tier decks each time. In a game where you play tons of match having not to know exactly what your opponent is playing just by their class is a big improvement.
It's the easy deck to play to rank in Wild: you have almost no thinking involved and a decent winrate. It reminds me of old Pirate Warrior in its shiny days: give it to a bot and just wait to recieve your rewards after it plays hundreds of game untill statistically it will reach Legend.
Those who wants an easy ride on Ladder just go with Big Priest and on top of that they may also find it entertaining and fun to win slappaing your opponent with absurd board each time (if you're lucky enough to high roll).
Complete reworks of both Ladder (away with this boring grind and put in automated tournament, like on SC2) and economy system (dust value and gold gain).
More formats (not only Wild and Standard but also other mixed up limitation on which cards you can use, like in MTG).
Less cards per expansion set (stop printing useless filler and more meaningfull cards).
I find that initiative pretty pointless: all cards will be revealed anyway, so after someone get all the rewards I see no point in going on grinding the Brawl for the sake of reveals.
There are so many possibilities that I think hardly the game may run out of ideas (just look at how many interesting and funny new mechanics were presented in each competition on HearthPwn).
Team 5 is probably stuck with the need to implement new things and some balancing issues.
I'm a bit sad that they've decided to give each of the members of LoE a specific class: they was already good as neutral minion without binding them to a detailed theme that will be anyway ignored most of the time.
Extra packs and golds are good, the Brawls are pretty boring with old content refreshened and slightly mixed up to make it seems new. Also the trailer seems a little "overdone" for what it really was afterall.
all games that include pets are just trying to get extra money
Well that's the point of cosmetics in every F2P games: getting extra money without giving any kind of gameplay advantage to those willing to pay for them.
Since it seems that the main obstacle to more cosmetics pet-like is the small space avaible on mobile, they should probably remove one of the two "angle" from the board to make some room: yea, each board will be less detailed since you'll have only one themed corner instead of two but I think that it may be worth it if the new cosmetics are interesting and fun.
It's just another combo deck that requires some specific condition to be achieved: he needs to draw all the cards, get the quest completed, setup a board and then close the match.
It may also become tricky to complete the quest if you're unlucky with the random spells you generate, because they may be useless.
Imho, quest Mage is not problematic at all actually but as any other combo it may become frustrating to play against if he get perfect draws and lucky extra spells.
It will be so nice! The idea for more cosmetics has been around for sometimes by now and, if I'm not wrong, recently the've spoken about putting both decks "horizontally" so that the card back of each player can be seen better, just to show off a bit, so may something is moving and we'll see more costumization option.
For the record, this is the art the actual Sir Finley card will be using.
Looks pretty kickass the me.
Nice. That is much better than his "appearance" in the trailer, since it's much more similar to the old one, showing that he's not just a mrgl-ing frog with a monocle but an intelligent and fine gentlemurloc.
But I don't get why he has his old knife instead of the golden fish. Probably the fish was just an hint that he's a Paladin?
CC Mage and Big Priest are not happy after this reveal.
Why should I limit myself when building a deck?

Seems decent but boring: just and updated version of Onyx Bishop. At last is not something Big Priest can use.

Seems more of a project card from Boomsday than a plague. A bit disappointing, speaking of flavor.
At last is a good early game removal, probably the cheapest ever made.
My wishes would be:

I find that using Dr.Boom make everything more easy: decks are thin so just keep putting bombs into their one until they blow up.

The current cards doesn't make the new quest worth it, but probably more interesting ones are coming so it's too soon to judge.
You've anticipated me: as I've read the topic title I've immediatly recalled Dragon Priest midrange deck. And there it was, already posted.
:(

Nothing exceptionally new or interesting, but is just another keyword that will be on 5-8 cards and never seen again so it's ok-ish.
I'll be worried if there will be a card that actually gives Reborn to a minion, because that could slip out of hand.
I would gladly greet an "open all" option along side the current one-by-one method.
