20 damage burst is fun... And not something priests had access to before Emperor. (Unless you count Velen, coin, mb, mb, but that combo is almost impossible to pull off.)
Yeah I think hungry dragon is pretty weak. And the amount of dragons you need to play depends on what kind of deck you play. I could see one twilight being ok but they are very weak against silence and bad top decks.
Control hunter isn't a real deck. The only times I've seen Gahzrilla played is from unstable portal or webspinner.

Just throwing this out: does Hearthstone need something like Trample?
Yeah Haha so weak >.> Definately not getting 2-3 wins.
Could work. It would be like the opposite of the Mistress of Pain.
Then again we do have Axe Flinger.
I think Trample would shift the game too far towards aggro unless you introduced a new mechanic to balance it since you essentially can't react during an opponent's turn with instants.
I think you could add trample without to much issue, could be cool on a minion that can't attack face naturally.
A reverse trample could make a cool warlock card. That all / any excess damage to it would be delt to the warlock. Maybe some 1hp glass canon warlock minion with charge.
"2 mana 4/1, has charge. Any damage done to this minion is also delt to it's owner."

I would imagine that these trample cards would just have lower attack damage than normal.
Sort of like Mistress of Pain or Axe Flinger.

Trample doesn't work if you don't get to choose which minions block the attacking trampler

My last three unstable portals have been Tirion, Ysera, and Sylvannas...
Unless you're playing an aggressive deck with a win condition that relies on outracing your opponent, you should remove Thalnos asap. They are going to get the draw regardless, so why let them choose when they get it AND give them extra damage before they do? With Thalnos up Rogues can Backstab for 3 dmg, eviscerate for 5 dmg, add 1 to their blade flurries, all that extra damage adds up--with Oil rogue in particular the amount of damage that they can do is limited because most of it is spells. Don't make those spells more effective by ignoring the Bloodmage.
Hey, I make a cameo in this picture! Like I said yesterday, Muster is my favorite golden rare. Nice pack.
Because it's not efficient for Milling.
Ideally a Mill Deck would use no creatures (but of course you still need some special minions which help you Mill and have some board presence). Putting out big threats like Clockwork allows them to use BGH or a removal spell like Execute. You want them to have as many dead cards in hand as possible.

Not really...but if you wanted to implement it, I'd say it should be a purely defensive effect since the attacker for the most part assigns where damage goes. Make the trade decision a bit more interesting.
Speaking of milk decks..I just had two matches against the, with my midrange pally deck. even though I won, both games went super long. Look I just wanted to get my daily quests done quickly .
I do that with double resurrect. Only high cost minions and a lot of cheap spells (smite, pain) to remove early game threat.

Are you joking? That's awesome. It's actually playing the game and using flexible tactics instead of being a predictable bore that only plays to win. Some of you people are willing to have zero fun if it means you rank up. Jeez.
As the previous poster said I play Mill Druid alot and I can't justify removing any other decks from the deck everything is too crucial.
Wow, drama:
If it's true he's 100% right to quit.
I bet he wouldn't have quit if he was 5-2 instead of 2-5.

This Druid is bonkers. Only match-up that is even slightly problematic is Paladin. I'm just crushing Mages, Face Hunters, Zoo.
I love their confusion at the turn 1 Dragon Egg.

Lumber seems ideal for this kind of deck.
He had two Lumberers before, but took them out for a Sea Giant and Boom. I could see arguments for both set-ups.

This deck is so damned filthy (also got lucky with a deathlord draw)

Time to get to work on that control Hunter.
Aw, come on. Game's at its worst if it's all predictable. I ran Flamestrike or Echo in Mech Mage and threw so many people off. That was a blast.
This guy knows what's up.
Arena is such a mage fest. 7 games, 5 mages. The good thing is I'm 7-0 thanks to the deck countering mages pretty well. Lots of 5+ health minions to screw up their Flamestrikes. Gurubashi in particular seems to confound the fuck out of them.

Hell yeah.
So much fun. And I love his arrival onto the board. Might be one of my faves.
The card art's awesome, too:

I've been playing since open beta and haven't spent a dime but it's getting to the point where I would totally pay for additional deck slots.
There are so many random cool decks that I want to try like that Soul of the Forest Druid but I don't want to delete any of my current ones.

I was a big fan of Kezan as a tech card but if this becomes more common that's going to be pretty dumb yeah. At least it doesn't help Freeze Mages.

Kezan Mystic completely fails at its job because of this. Any deck that plays a few secrets will just throw a Kezan in there to steal their secret back making your Kezan pretty much worthless. I even saw a Face Hunter play it once to protect his Explosive Trap. Kezan would be better if she worked more like Flare, where she just destroys all secrets. Add to that the fact that I've never had a tech card that refuses to show up against the 2 classes where I'd actually need it. Play Hunter or Mage? Kezan is on the bottom of the deck. Play Warrior, Druid, or Priest? Kezan shows up in starting hand, gets mulliganed, and shows up again by turn 2. I'm starting to think that the card isn't really worth it for those few times that you steal an Explosive Trap.
I disagree. I ran one in a Freeze Mage yesterday. I had 3 secrets in the deck (2X Ice Barrier, 1 Ice Block), which, if stolen, I could just wait and steal it back when I drew my Kezan, because I wasn't going to trigger them otherwise. The only way Kezan screws Freeze Mage is if you steal Ice Block the exact turn that you're going to kill them. Any other time, and they'll just take it back.

Same here. I'm not buying shit, unless it's deck slots. I love how you can get by alright F2P.
That's meta.
Well, yeah. I generally don't bank on my opponents being idiots though.
Okay,
turn 1 He plays nothing, you Manawyrm, coin, Manawyrm.
turn 2 He plays whatever, gets pinged to death in combo with manawyrm.
turn 3 he plays deathlord, response flamecannon, sacrifice one manawyrm, get ragnaros gg
Something like that?

I had it happen a few times. People would steal my secrets either because they hadn't realized I was running Freeze Mage yet or because they thought that I'd be screwed without Ice Block. I'd just stall the game out and steal it back later.
Daily quests where they have to play a deck unsuitable for (their rank at) ladder. Or just trying out new decks.
