Will Blizzard ever create spells that change cost with hand size or minions on board, or even something else?

Would it even be a useful addition?

Any chance or news if they will do anything with Sacrificial Pact? For example, making it only affect friendly demons.

With the release of ashes of outland, they have printed a lot of demons for all classes. The demon condition seems to be less situational with all classes likely running demons. For instance With Magtheridon, sac pact could easily be destroy an enemy 12/12, heal 5, for zero mana! A huge tempo swing.

So, starting from the 26th, we are protected from >2 duplicates for commons, rares and epics. If I understand how it works correctly, then this is the best time to dust goldens if you have one or two golden copies of a card, but don't have 2 normal copies. Not a super-common situation, but for example:

I have nearly all epics from Classic, missing just 8. I have one regular copy of Cabal Shadow Priest and one golden copy. I have never dusted the golden version (don't really need the dust, and even though Cabal is not a meta card, I just liked to keep the second copy around while I didn't get a second regular one).   

Due to the duplicate protection rules, if I now dust my golden Cabal Shadow priest, I will get it again in the first 9 epics that I get from classic. (If I dust it after the 26th, as I understand it, the card will be counted as 'already obtained' and I will not get it again. I will first get the 8 missing epics and after that  I will just get random epics after because the set is counted as complete.) The only caveat here is when Blizz starts counting cards as 'already obtained'. I assume on the 26th, but I could not find any confirmation of that.

The same is true for commons and rare of course, but I don't have any of those in golden that I don't already have 2 normal copies of...  

Will the dormant cards be vulnerable to AOE prior to them waking up?

The Demon Hunter class is not a class that hunts demons. It is a class that uses demons to hunt. 

Does this mean there might be a Demon Mage, or Elemental Mage?

Feels like Demon Warlock might fit better?

Or am I just overthinking it, and they just wanted something that sounded acted really SMOrc-y?

"Face Hunter was popular, lets use DEMONS and make it a whole class."

what is the relationship between old ranking and new ranking? which level should I target for the end of the month? tks

So someone on here (I forgot who) brought up that with the new duplicate protection rule there's now a very easy way to farm Dust whenever cards are being nerfed.

The principle is the following: Assuming you own all Rares and Commons of a set and one of them gets nerfed you can then:

1) disenchant all copies of it for their full dust value

2) buy packs from that expansion

3) open them until you have 2 copies of said card again

4) rinse and repeat

If we assume, for instance that 3 cards got nerfed, being 1 Rare and 2 Commons you can technically convert 100g into 300 Dust and essentially buy yourself great value entirely for gold (it would take 6 packs to craft a legendary for instance).

Now I assume that Blizzard is aware of this exploit and will take measures to prevent it. The question is: How exactly?

The most efficient way would be to cap the amount of refunds you can get on a card to only the playable copies so you can't actually DE them for full value more than twice. However, I don't know if that is actually possible in the current code of Hearthstone.

The other possibility would be to treat nerfs like HoF and grant players an automatic dust refund (without having to DE the cards) for all their playable copies. This seems like the most likely solution to me, as it's a familiar system and while it essentially makes players "lose" some dust compared to the previous system it could at least be justified by the duplicate protection rule making up for it.

In any case, I can't imagine they'll keep the system as is, because if they did they'd have to find other ways to incentivize buying packs and I don't believe we'd like that.

Anyways, your thoughts on this?
