Look, we all know that Quest Mage can be very swingy and uninteractive. But please consider these:
1. It's not that OP. There are clear counters to the deck. It starts slow, and that's why Pirate Warrior stomps all over it. It's just the Rock-Paper-Scissors nature of all metas that it beats your Big Shaman which is even slower. Take the loss and play another game. Hope for a deck that you counter.
2. There are real people playing those decks. They are just following an effective strategy. There's nothing stopping you from doing the same.

Does it go like 9/9, 8/8, 7/7, 6/6, 5/5 and so til 1/1? If it does, then yeah, it's slow, but insane value. A total of 45/45 in stats, in a single card! Colossus of the Moon can already win games if cheated out early, this is just even better! Seems almost impossible to kill!

Playing Odd DH, fuck me, it's going horrible, but I'm really tryharding before the nerfs.
But this Rogue just got the most undeserved win ever. What the fuck am I supposed to do with them getting Drywhisker Armorer from Faceless Lackey, and them Shadowstepping it twice on my 5 minion board? 20 armor for 3 cards and 1 mana? As a fucking Pogo Hopper Rogue? At least Reno has the deckbuilding restriction, but this RNG on RNG getting them the perfect card is extremely infuriating.

Quite usually, we see some forum posts that don't make sense, include shady and non-relevant links and the poster has no other activities on the site. These bots can already be reported, I always do when I see one, but it would be better to save some work for the moderators.
I propose that only accounts with more than 100 achievement points should be able to include links in their posts. That amount of points can be easily achieved by real people who can read by visiting the expansion guides, but it would stop bots that post on every forum they find.
Yup, do it. And it's best to dust ALL nerfed cards for a full refund. That way, you have their value in 'liquid dust'. If decks still run those cards, then you can recraft them for no additional cost for you. If they fall out of the meta, then you got a complete refund.
And many decks are already leaving her out, for example the most popular Raza Priest on HSReplay.

Poor [Hearthstone Card (Dragonqueen Alexstraza) Not Found]. So many decks are already leaving her out because she was too slow in them. This will be another hard hit for her, possibly making her Standard only.

The moment of truth quickly approaches... Will we get an announcement in 40 minutes (18:00 UTC), the usual time, or will we have to wait another week (or more!) in excruciating silence and crippling boredom?

I like the idea that the new expansion will be a return of the Old Gods. There's a lore possibility: demons and the Legion are the sworn enemy of the Void. With their defeat, and while we were occupied in Outland, the tentacly menaces return. Think about it: new versions of Old God cards, C'THUN DECKS?
Also, I doubt that the new game mode will just be Wild with limitations. Almost no one has a decent GvG or TGT collection. Players only have the few strong cards, like Mal'Ganis or Aviana. A game mode of only a few sets would then require players to build from a collection only very few have, and synergies that scarcely exist. Like no Lackey support outside Year of the Dragon, and SoU only would make Dark Pharaoh Tekahn nearly unplayable.

Y'know, I'm really glad we are getting so many balance patches since last year. It really shows that the dev team cares about the meta. Even if we get decks like Galakrond Shaman or Demon Hunter, things usually balance out over an expansion. No more decks remaining the same after a Wild rotation, like it was with Pirate Warrior in Year of the Mammoth. Waiting multiple expansions for a nerf is surely a thing that made many people quit. I'm glad we left that era behind.
RIP Recruit
I was sceptical at first, Hunter doesn't have many removal spellls, but...
This + Explosive Trap:
When your hero is attacked, destroy all enemy minions.
Mass Vaporize... Holy fuck
That's why this is 7 mana, but you're right otherwise.

Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
It's better than Captain Greenskin I guess... Barely...
This + Nerubian Egg = 6 mana 11/14
Woah, this is powercreep Scarlet Crusader C'Thun's Chosen

Fuck Lackeys.
"The magic within", roses and nice pavement, purple, gold and silver colors: is this a Nightborne and Suramar themed expansion?
That would be awesome! Largely untouched area of WoW lore, great characters like Grand Magistrix Elisandre and Withered J'im, beautiful art.

Edit: lmao someone went on a downvote spree

Edit: God fucking damnit.
It's "Free Demon Hunter Deck", which means the Initiate set, I guess. The roadmap on the Blizzard site has been updated.
