The more I think about it, the more situations I see in which this is good.

If your opponent has a wide board of small minions (Quest Shaman, Lackey Rogue), this doesn't give them the full three minions, while …

Maybe an opponent can delay the quest completion, but it is going to make their turns more awkward. For example hero powers are not mana efficient, so in the early to mid game, you don't want to be using your …

Why not? One or two good dragon class cards can make a dragon deck viable. For example Dragon Priest was played because of [card]Drakonid Operative[/card] and later [card]Duskbreaker[/card], not because the Priest class has particular synergy with dragons.

The …

Lack of healing is what is keeping [card]Neferset Thrasher[/card] and [card]Diseased Vulture[/card] back at the moment. But I don't know how many dragons you'd be able to fit into a deck with those cards. [card]Crowd Roaster[/card] would fit into a …

The obvious comparison is [card]Duskbreaker[/card], which was extremely good. This comes one turn later, which could be a concern, but provides much better stats to make up for it. The self-damage could be an issue, but [card]Nether Breath[/card] helps there. …

We might see seasonal shifts, where ladder is more popular after an expansion launches and Battlegrounds more popular when an expansion has been out for a while. I guess it's still better for Hearthstone though if people play/stream BG when …

There is too much randomness to be sure of a draw, but they let the player with the stronger board would keep buffs in their hand to play after the round, to increase the chance of a draw or at …

I played some Odd Druid during Witchwood and Boomsday (so before [card]Gonk, the Raptor[/card] was even released) and it wasn't all that bad. [card]Claw[/card] was a pretty good card in that deck, although part of the reason was the synergy …

I'm not so sure. There are other options at 2 mana worth considering, like [card]Acidic Swamp Ooze[/card], [card]Doomsayer[/card], [card]Bloodmage Thalnos[/card], [card]Auchenai Phantasm[/card], [card]Belligerent Gnome[/card], [card]Holy Ripple[/card] etc. Those are a bit situational, but so is Envoy, since whether the card …

[card]Onyxia[/card] is technically a 14/14 for just 2 mana more, still doesn't see play.

[card]Shu'ma[/card]'s ability doesn't seem good enough to make up for its stats at that mana cost. The repeating value is going to be rare: if your opponent cannot deal with a 7-health minion on turn 7, wouldn't you rather play …

Nice!

Maybe the relevant card tags could be shown on the card's page? For example below the images.

When discussing Battlegrounds, it would be nice to be able to link to the Battlegrounds versions of cards instead of the regular Hearthstone versions, such that it includes the tier rating instead of mana cost.

I'm not sure what …

The Curator being one of the top heroes shows that getting an amalgam early, regardless of stats, is very good. So my guess is that it will remain an auto-pick in tier 2 even at 2/2.

Stats would matter …

There is a short but very informative clip of Mike Donais providing info about the minion pools sitting next to Brian Kibler playing Battlegrounds at Blizzcon in this week's OmniSlash highlights.

There is a loading screen tip that states there are 6 copies of the tier 6 minions shared between all players. I assume the other minions have a similar system, but with larger numbers. That's also how other autobattlers work, …

My impressions of the tribes from watching a lot of Twitch this week:

• Demons: Never seems to work out when I saw them being used. If you don't become a turtle find [card]Mal'ganis[/card] early, you kill yourself.
• …

It's a pity that currently the strongest decks (Quest/Evolve Shaman and Combo Priest) are so RNG-heavy, but I think it was Liooon's selection and piloting of Malygos Druid and especially Highlander Hunter that gave her the edge over the other …

Purple is the color of the League of EVIL, so a card glowing purple might represent a League victory. Right now in the Battle.net client I'm looking at an ad for the Hex and Flex bundles, of which the left …

My goal for climbing is rank 15 and I reached that in the first week this month. I think I was playing mostly Quest Paladin at the time.

Since Doom in the Tomb all my old decks are basically …
