I totally agree with the thorough breakdown above, great depiction of the culprits of the current meta.
One might think that Blizzard by having hired professional players would prevent or at least reduce the times these broken early drop minions like Irondeep Trogg get introduced into the game. Not my opinion, but a more negative hypothesis could even be that this was somewhat intentional.
Having been on the receiving end multiple times, I can imagine how frustrating it might be for fellow players in the same situation and especially if they are seriously attempting to climb the ranked ladder all the way to Legend. Personally, I already reached my desired monthly plateau of Diamond 5 and now I only care about completing the new XP achievements (which are still broken).
This option should have been implemented from day one IMO. Even if they would release auto-squelch as a paid feature, I would still purchase it. Not trying to give them ridiculous ideas though.
Since the current meta is much better compared to the Stormwind meta, I do not really care for a balance patch this early, but I sure hope this does not mean they will not fix all the broken XP achievement bugs as soon as possible. Imagine them not patching these bugs until the beginning of next year 😱
I wanted to create a similar thread, but the topic starter beat me to it. I visit OoC quite often daily and I understand ads are a big part of income for keeping the site up and running. That is why I hesitated at first when I also experienced the same annoying video ads issue and now the issue is already addressed. Kudos!
There is no way this will be considered a tech card against aggro for constructed. Paying 4 mana for a 2/6 body which is more likely to be the case is not worth it.

Good call 👍🏻

Great defense for Freeze archetypes. Perhaps worth considering in Reno Shudderwock Shaman even.
Defile on a stick. Will this replace The Lurker Below in Reno Shudderwock Shaman I wonder?
I wonder if this viable in Wild Even Libram Paladin? Then again, Wild has much better alternatives to offer, so probably not.

I do not want to play a 4 mana 6/6 with no further upsides. Goes straight into Arena where that is not an issue.
Funny card, chances are very slim to trigger an HK with 8 attack. So, this is basically an 8/8 with rush, nothing more or less.
Interesting but so situational that it might even hurt your own chances of winning the game since you do not know what the opponent is running.
Decent card for any token based decks, so that means Demon Hunter, Druid and possibly Warlock as well for the upcoming expansion.
Worst handbuff card ever. What were they smoking when designing this card, the stats look way off base.
Arena card for sure, I would not even play a 5 mana 6/6 without conditions in constructed.
Only viable in Rogue and Druid I guess?
Decent 1-drop, but I doubt it is good enough to see play in constructed.
Bad card, if only it had rush it would be worth considering. Arena is where this might see play.
The stats on this minion will get out of hand crazy fast if not dealt with the moment it enters play or the turn after.
Decent Arena card, I cannot imagine any other place where this might see play intentionally.
Embarrassingly bad card. Probably not even good enough to see play in Arena, jeez.
