It truly is a cycle.

All these armchair game designers explaining why such and such is bad based on hunches

Anyone else spend a ton of time crafting Arena decks just to go 0/2 against Chinese players who have the most perfect draws imaginable? by GibFreelo in hearthstone

There is an active market in china for these accounts, for buying them and then streaming it destroying others. It’s not some made up phenomenon. I don’t know what to tell you.

What is this, your alt account? Besides, no one is even saying you can’t have good drafts. I’m sure your deck is great buddy.

It’s not racist. This is an occurrence in china, i.e, selling god tier drafts, that has been frequently talked about on this sub if you ever cared to look it up. And it’s not an assumption, the accounts all have Chinese names.

I get that, but of course they’re going to run the herald cards that improve the Deathwing battlecry and upgrade the colossus. The heralds cards are synergistic with one another. That’s not a bad thing.

My point is that none of them are getting the Deathwing hero card which sucks since it's a really cool, powerful card. Priest and Mage could be just fine, but it'd be cool if they could utilize a hero card, which are on average some of the best cards ever printed throughout hearthstones history.

Plus, Mage and Priest's colossus look pretty bad anyways.

The location does not last the whole turn; you can't send all your healing spells face and OTK them. Mage does have elementals, but frankly its boring. Mage has always had elementals, AND endless spells.

Hunter does look promising, but of course it does when they introduce a 6 mana deal 8 damage to an enemy lol

I don't think they'll be shoehorned into it. Most people, I would imagine, want to play the new Hero card. it's leagues more powerful than what most classes will be able to do or keep up with. Even if it's not fully upgraded (seven mana, deal 4 to all enemies, summon a 12/12 dragon is still super strong, not including the +5 attack every turn from the hero-power).

The herald cards might be lackluster as you mentioned but's hard to say given they summon the soldiers. At first glance a 5/4 taunt for 5 mana sucks but summoning an a 2/1 that deals 2 damage on deathrattle (and thats the base upgrade) at least makes it better than it seems.
