Mutanus the Devourer

This card will be polarizing because people will only remember when it blows them up. Really needs rush to be playable, since it's usually going to be a crappy 7 drop with no impact. Will be funny to get off …

Celestalon Gives Insight on the Creation of the Barrens Mysteries Achievement Puzzles

These puzzles were terrible! The only Q I want A'd is "what is wrong with you?"

Hearthstone's Pen Flinger Can No Longer Attack Face, Watch Posts Nerfed, and More! Forged in the Barrens Nerfs Arrive Tomorrow

Interesting conjecture, but I dont believe the data supports it. The winrates for a turn 1/2 DoL were very high, and moving it to a later turn (and requiring all or part of that turn) helps tone it down.

Hearthstone's Pen Flinger Can No Longer Attack Face, Watch Posts Nerfed, and More! Forged in the Barrens Nerfs Arrive Tomorrow

I think the issue was that, despite the core refresh and new expansion release, it continued to be one of the most played cards in Standard. Factor in the unrivaled abuse of (as you mentioned) libram decks, and the card …

Mage and Paladin are Dominating Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens Meta With Over 50% of Decks Played

Thief Rogue (or Priest) decks can be a LOT of fun, but that's because the randomness is bounded. You have a core suite of tools that you need to end up integrating with your randomly generated ones. Even Lunacy Mage …

Paladin secrets are Holy spells, so this card might see play if Secret archetypes are effective

TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!

No, the reference was obvious. "Hey man, just play as highlander paladin" was obviously not his suggestion given "finley + wizard" is a well-known tech combination.

Awesome tech! Probably terrible!

New Warlock Minion - Envoy Rustwix

The effect is so interesting that this will definitely be experimented with thoroughly. The "obvious" best-fit would be value-oriented control decks that want to go the distance, but I don't really see how this helps fill in the weaknesses of …

New Shaman Spell - Landslide

The spell damage double-dip gives this card some pretty big upside when overloaded, but I'm unsure what decks this will see play in (besides the obvious hard-control archtypes). The card itself seems strong, but there might not be room for …

New Paladin Weapon - Libram of Judgment

Given the cost is easy to reduce, you're quite likely to corrupt it when you drop your second Attendant or Lady Liadrin (but you're right that in most current deck lists there are only so many cards expensive enough to …

Edwin VanCleef and Boggspine Knuckles Nerfed In Today's Surprise Hearthstone Balance Patch

I'm concerned the Knuckles nerf won't quite be enough. It almost feels as though the change was made as if the meta where lots and lots of decks are running double Sticky Fingers is... healthy? In a world where it …

The Hearthstone Cards the Community Would Like to See Nerfed

Generally that's how "games" work, yes. Blizzard has struggled immensely with tuning Priests (basically forever), and community feedback of "hey, that class sucks to play and sucks to play against" is generally good to give. They've signalled a willingness to …

I guess I'll just quote myself?

[quote from="Myself"]Priests have a lot of "feels bad, man" interactions right now, which is really hard to balance because something can be terribly designed but not overpowered.[/quote]

Paladin need a few changes, but it's hard to nail down exactly what needs to change. I think First Day of School moving to 1 mana would be a good change so that "buff target generation" is a little more …
