Aggro decks will never die, and honestly, an all control meta would be boring. I personally dont like playing against aggro all the time, but aggro decks help keep the game a bit exciting. This current meta is a lot slower than past metas and this meta is very tempo and midrange based. The only really aggro deck is zoolock, but even that is technically a tempo deck.

It is called “power creep” and most gamea have it. However, this is not power creep since it is a 2/2 vanilla and only for Druid. It gets the extra 1 health for being vanilla. If it were a 2/3 vanilla, that would be power creep because it would be as strong as a 2 cost vanilla. Compare this to other 1 costs. Fiery Bat is essentially a 3/1, Possessed Villager and Argent Squire are 1/2s but take 2 hits to kill and there are other examples, but I dont really feel like listing everything.
Becoming Legend in Hearthstone Guide - Lessons From a First-Time Legend Climb
I don’t think Hearthstone Deck Tracker can record games, it just records the data from the games such as most played cards, win rates, matchups, and it does also give a breakdown of games and what cards were played. It is very useful, don’t get me wrong, but it is not the best for watching replays (unless they added video recording to the program that I didn’t know about). I think that Golom is looking for recording software. There are many programs out there for video recording. I personally use Open Broadcast Software (OBS). It is relatively simple to use. It is free to download and use. You can download it from their site https://obsproject.com/
Hearthstone Patch 5.0.0 - Nerfs, Whispers of the Old Gods Cards (Flavor), Full Dust Refunds
I think it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out why “Sorry” was changed. It is definitely the most annoying of all of the emotes. What is more annoying than your opponent destroying your field with RNG and then saying “Sorry” just to rub it in? There is only one situation that I can think of that isn’t BM to use “Sorry”, and that would be if you forget to hit the “end turn” button and you say “sorry” for not ending the turn. Take your opponent’s minion “Sorry”. Destroy opponent’s key minion “Sorry”. Destroy opponent’s field “Sorry”. Boom bots hit face for 4, twice “Sorry”. I think the decision was made to make emotes slightly more “friendly”.
Tavern Brawl - Idols of Azeroth
I found Mage to be the best, at least for me. Early on, try to get some of the good minions, and after a few turns, only look for spells like Pyroblast, Fireball, etc. You can actually just go for spells from the beginning, since it is unlikely your opponent will get healing and you can use the spells for face damage or board clear.
Hearthstone Basic and Classic Set Nerfs Revealed!
I can’t wait to get all the extra dust! I’ve been hoarding these guys for a while!
Shifter Zerus
I hope not. It would be interesting if it didn’t because it could be used to trick the opponent into thinking you already played a certain card or you are playing a certain type of deck. For example, if it transformed into Ysera and you played it, your opponent would think you already played Ysera, but then you play the real Ysera, which would throw your opponent off big time. When Faceless Manipulator becomes a minion, it doesn’t say that it was ever a Faceless Manipulator. Most transformed minions don’t tell you what they used to be, so I assume Zerus will do the same.
Shifter Zerus
I think this is a very interesting card. I think it has a lot of potential. For those of you that have played Binding of Isaac, I think of this like the D6; you just reroll the minion each turn until you get one that you want or that is useful in the given situation. All in all, it is an interesting and unique ability.
Shifting Shade
“Copy a card”. I am assuming this means it can copy C’thun with its stat buffs.
Demented Frostcaller
It will target any enemy character, even if frozen. Otherwise it would state “freeze random unfrozen enemy”. If that were the case, it would probably be pretty good.
New Mage Hero Skin: Khadgar (iOS Exclusive)
I think it was Mage simply because it is one of the more popular classes, and this new hero is for charity rather than to make money. I don’t think it would be very fair if this was the new Druid alt hero (for example) if that is the only one Druid is getting for now. It makes sense to have it be an alt of a class that already has an alt hero skin so that the classes without an alt hero skin have a more obtainable skin.
Shadowcaster
Shadowcaster on Shadowcaster on Shadowcaster on Shadowcaster on Shadowcaster… Look out Wisps of the Old Gods, Rogue has their own way to fill the field with 1/1s for 7 mana.
Deathwing, Dragonlord
When you play regular Deathwing, it would Discard your hand and destroy Dragonlord at the same time. Dragonlord does not trigger until after it died, which would be after you discarded your hand. This means that you cannot use Deathwing 1 to trigger Dragonlord (Well, you can, but Dragonlord wouldn’t summon anything on death).
Deathwing, Dragonlord
If you silence it, it’s still a 12/12. If it gets BGH’d, it drops a hand full of Dragons. We will have to see if it is any good. I remember when Varian came out, people thought he would be auto-include in Warrior decks. This is a bigger body, but deathrattle and only summons dragons; but those dragons are from your hand. It could be good, it could be too gimmicky. It is hard to tell right now, but the N’zoth value with this guy is insane.
Thistle Tea
For 1 more mana, I can draw 4 cards instead with Sprint. Let’s get ready for another week of lackluster reveals.
Whispers of the Old Gods Card Reveals for April 2nd - April 9th
You said 6 epics, but one of those epics is uncollectible; The Ancient One. Since it it just part of “Blood of the Ancient One”, wouldn’t that be considered just 5 epics?
Cho'Gall
Forbidden spells are 0-cost, so they still spend your mana. Spending your mana is part of their power, it is not their cost.
In regards to Ethereal Peddler you can also get cards from other classes through Golden Monkey ;D (Although it would involve a lot of steps to happen since an Ethereal Peddler in hand would be transformed by Golden Monkey). Shifter Zerus can also give you a card from another class, and Zerus keeps cost reductions and buffa even after transforming. You can also get cards from other classes with Gang Up by copying an opponent’s class minion. These are all unreliable ways of getting other class cards, but I figured I’d point out a few that you missed. There are still a ton of other ways to do it as well, but again, unreliable ways.
