I guess it gives you an option at the end of games to turn your useless stuff into less useless stuff. But, generally, these types cards have not been very good. Although, this is one of the better versions of those cards.
Hard to judge b/c we don't know exactly what DH is yet. That said, this seems to be one of the stronger variants of this card. It can go face which is pretty sweet.
All of this synchs with my ladder experience @ R5, except Galakrond Warrior. Although, it is actually fairly well positioned against the Hunters and Paladins. So maybe that explains it. I'm thankful Dean has been doing this.
Reckless Experimenter makes sense since they changed the entire mechanic to alleviate the problem. Ghostly Charger was changed for aesthetic reasons, so I doubt that changes. Boom, GI, and Raiding Party would all make sense.
Frankly, I think Raiding Party could be reverted in standard now, since they finally nerfed Preparation.
So long as Hearthstone sticks to an evergreen set (instead of a rotating core set) minions like Malygos, Leeroy, and Alexstraza probably must remain a part of that evergreen set.
An evergreen set needs certain things - and it often needs them to be neutral cards. You need your neutral combo finisher. You need your neutral aggro finisher. You need your neutral control finisher. You need neutral weapon removal. You need neutral card draw. Etc.
I am just as bored of it as everyone else. But if you remove part of the equation, the other stuff becomes more unbalanced and fucks with design.
For example, without neutral aggro cards, only particular classes can be aggressive at any given point, which means an overall reduction in the potential for aggressive decks in the metagame. Correspondingly, all decks will have neutral control and combo tools, leading to a much more unbalanced situation.
BTW - reckless rocketeer still exists and it is nearly the exact same card. People will still lose their mind, not because it's unfair, but because people don't like losing.
It's funny to see people in this thread complain that Rush has removed minion trading from the game.
I'll just double down on things Flux and others have said - the problem with Rush (if there's a problem at all, and I don't necessarily think there is one) is the number of cards with Rush. The mechanic is fine.
But this is what happens at this stage in rotations. We have the maximum amount of cards in the card pool. Indeed, due to Galakrond's Awakening, this is the largest cardpool we've had since rotations began.
The problem (if there is one) will correct itself.
I'll be interested to see how the continued experiments with Aggro/Whip Warrior and Dragon (non-HL). Warrior, in particular, I think has a lot of potential.
This will probably find a home somewhere, but it's pretty niche.
I'm not totally sold that the effect is worth dedicating 1 or 2 card slots towards.
Stats are good though, so that helps a lot.
IIRC, you can't target dormant cards. Unless that's changed.
It's a cool card, but I'm skeptical about how useful it will be.
If anything, I guess it's a warrior ping.

Love it! Great changes. Fuck you, Cleric.
I like Deathwing's unique playstyle, but I'm glad for the nerf. He's definitely mindless and pretty overpowered
I think that's a pretty reasonable starting place.
Ditto. I'm actually pretty surprised. Especially when all the streamers I watch are in the 10K's
Kingsbane Rogue was a totally fair aggro deck.
It was an unfair mill deck, but they changed how Leeching Poison worked.
Sorry, little buddy. I understand that reading headlines is too much for some people. I hope you can cope. Reading is hard.
Tirion is the only hero who had a useful power early, mid, and late game. Even Rafaam drops off at some point (although he should probably leave too).
Well, he is good. Mage isn't good.

I suspect this had more to do with liability regarding the way flights connect in reaching Bali than it does Indonesia itself.
That said, it definitely sucks for people who booked flights. Trip insurance feels like a scam, but sometimes it makes sense.

Great work as usual!
