It's tricky making a riddle just hard enough. I like to err on making it a little harder because you can always give out hints. This one should be pretty easy though:
Unless You Want to See Unwellboars and Sicker Crocolisks...
Explosive Diarrhea Sheep or Constipated Beetles...
Barfus, King Puke-la,The Hurler Below and Hadranauseous...
I haven't played casuals in quite a while but when I did I remember them being played no different than ranked, by meta fanboys. I think casual mostly exists for players who don't like the pressure of climbing and enjoy the fact that it's naturally going to be easier. Again, it all comes down to winning: players just want to win. I want to win... playing cards that cannot. Cards I paid money for.
Rang in response to your concern that people will dodge matches when it isn't their deck that faces itself the solution is simple: if they do that they would automatically be matched again facing someone else's deck until they play it out and it goes back to 50-50.
I've done a lot of wracking my brain too on modes that would encourage people to play out of the meta and the best solution I've found beside Mirror Mode is to lower the % of a card that has a high winrate when drawn ever so slightly so that the overpowered crap of the game can't bail you out. This would be nice in casual mode to discourage people from stomping with decks they ought to be ranking it with.
Mirror Mode would exist like a never-ending Tavern Brawl (like one of the rare good ones that is...) where you can enter and get a chance to play something wacky and at the same time get to tour whatever wackiness other people are sporting. Ideally it could even be set up where you have a longer queue but have a 100% chance to play your own deck or if you're like me just play whatever random stuff opp's are bringing over and over. This would be a good mode for F2P players too since they get to try out all the stuff they can't afford.
This mode would be a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately the vast majority of the HS community is content to face the same 4-5 decks over and over every meta endlessly which bewilders me. Trust me the game needs Mirror Mode to cater to the portion of players that get bored of it. It should have been introduced years ago.
I love how when someone brings up any concept that is unfamiliar it just gets crapped on in any forum you post it in.
Let's try this once more:
This would be a mode that takes very little installation to implement that would bring a lot of joy to people that actually want to play cards that they otherwise cannot without going 1 win for every 10 losses.
Even if this doesn't sound appealing to you it would be a godsend for thousands of players. In fact you don't even know if you'd like it or not because chances are you have never challenged a friend and borrowed a deck to play against itself. Try it, it's a lot of fun.
Imagine getting the chance to play a deck with unsung (but fun) cards likeImmortal Prelate, Lucentbark, Emeriss, my personal favorite, Tess Greymane or any Quest that was never able to compete. Especially when it's unexpected what craziness you'll run into.
It's good to have diversity in the game. Sometimes Ranked, Battlegrounds, Arena and Brawls (definitely not Duels..) are not enough. This would be a fun mode to dip into and see what insanity insues.
It's pretty closed-minded to call naw on the idea of a new mode especially one as easy to make as this one. There's no doubt it'd be enjoyed. I feel a lot of the community are more obsessed with winning than in actually having a fun time playing the game and that... Is just sad.
Also, just to clinch the argument you and I are being ripped off by not being able to feasibly use these cards we loved or would love if they were more competitive. Mirror Mode would breathe new life into ALL cards.
Finally, Reno Hunter sucks so not a viable option to play Deathstalker Rexxar in but cute try to make me look dumb. (whoops it was on Reddit where that comment was made not here, haha)
It's got an actual 'of' in the name. I want to give a hint but have already so many and feel that not all the usual players have had a chance to see it yet.
EVIL Really Ought to Give me a Peaky.
From my Box who is it You'll Pull?
I'm a Snakey Guy, But not so Sneaky-
First Day of School Before it was Cool.
Ugh. That'll have to do...
That can only be Counterspell
The Nerd is the word and herds it in for a....turn!
Next clue was going to be that the card name rhymed with the 2 line.
Card does not summon
Nope, not close at all in the thinking
Helboar is the one you're missing

Golakka Crawler?
Baku and Genn?

I think I know it but am going to hold out a while to give others a chance. This hot streak has gotten ridiculous

Brawn... Power... Physique... Energy... Sturdiness... ________....
It's in standard
Good guess but the body part is still singular. It isn't spelled exactly right for the context....
Only one skull in the human body. Two of what is being looked for here
Sorry, no
