But if every deck is wild, insane, and overpowered, then no one is!
Being honest, while it's easy to tell people nothing is wasted because Wild is a format, there's still a high chance that 'your favorite cards' might still turn out to be useless against whatever runs rampant in that format.

OK, so I think I've managed to put into words why this change could be seen as awful:
You can still use all your cards in the wild mode, however, that meta, which we are currently in, is a sucky tempo fest. So they are not going to fix that with this change, it will just continue to get worse.
And I feel like I was compelled to craft Dr. Tempo in order to compete in this meta... And now his value has been, practically speaking, reduced to zero

We're going to have to see how the new cards will deal with the existing wild before we can be certain though. Let's say we get a card that steals all secrets. Suddenly in wild, secret paladin is fucked. Obviously that's a huge chance of not happening, but a card has potential until we see the new cards
I can't think of a time outside of this week for this game where so many have been angry/salty while so many others have been happy/excited.
That's not really how it is, more like almost everybody here was happy about the news of the much-anticipated (and -needed) shakeup, after which reality hits even harder when you actually play some matches: game's a shit and it'll likely be months until we finally get our hands on the good stuff.
And the same people continue to be excited, there's just not that much to post about until Blizz starts the info stream. I'm really looking forward to the nerf details, even moreso than the actual expansion.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wild's meta doesn't change in like 4-5 years.
Everyone just using GVG/Naxx cards.
looking at Red Bull tourney AMA on reddit, reynad, strifecro and savijz all think giants should be nerfed, strifecro in particular just mentions them to emphasize it. These guys probably gave similar feedback to Blizzard too so it's kinda interesting.
I'm not sure how they can nerf all those giants but it's a problem of course and there is BGH. Maybe they change BGH to hit on 8 attack minions but that makes BGH a bad card to have and giants will roam free because no one wants to play BGH just in case of handlock.

Start Molten Giant with a higher mana cost?

That's how the game is now.
This changes nothing.
Poor clockwork giant you do not deserve this.
That's how the game is now.
This changes nothing.
Except that, over time, new cards will make less and less of a relative impact unless Blizz goes all out power creep. Deck archetypes will remain with maybe swapping out a few cards here and there.

If they do put Murk-Eye in Standard they have to nerf/change it. No way around it.
All comes back to charge being the worst mechanic in the game.

Priest spammed thank you after playing deathlord and me killing it the next turn, this happened 3 turns in a row and then he roped when I had lethal
QQ
They might just give a new card the same effect but that the whole deck from being created only runs 1 of each card, rather than how you can have dupes with Reno as long as they aren't any when he's played.
I like Reno, I like it most when a someone goes to full and I take him back down to 8 health instantly

Murk-Eye has managed to be fine until Blizzard decided to lose their minds with Anyfin

When somebody ropes me after I've established lethal (assuming it's safe) I clear their board and go do some minor chores.
Can't even be mad about a good opportunity to take out the garbage.
Over time eventually people would have no reason to buy cards. That sounds hella lame.
I enjoy how the game has evolved. The fact that I've been compelled to buy every new set (not as much with TGT) is a positive, not a negative.

What if you leave and they drop reno
And Warsong Commander was fine until Patron, doesn't mean it wasn't an issue.

That's why I clear their board first. Worst case I have to kill them again.
Eventually this plan may backfire, but I've gotten a lot of chores done doing it and I've yet to have it screw me, so I'm not too worried.
I honestly doubt that quite a bit. Murk Eye is a huge part of the damage potential of that deck.
warsong was WAY worse lol.
it used to give all minions charge

I'm not talking about the original versoin, talking about the 3 attack version.
It'll obviously be weaker but back to back Anyfin's is still going to destroy priest, warlock, druid, basically everyone but Warrior with loads of armor. I played it a lot (over 100 games) and really don't think it'll make a huge difference, the deck will still be run and will still be a 100% win vs Priest :'(
That Day9 clip, 52 damage in one turn.

My salt is massive right now. I went 4-3 in Arena with a priest deck because I lost the first two matches for irritating reasons. In the first match, I coined Faerie Dragon in because I thought "Hey, 3/2 and spell immune - pretty safe". The guy played Goblin...Bomber? Both barrels land on the Faerie Dragon's face, and I never regain tempo in the match, always one step behind.
Second match I was playing, and I was using most of my clock to figure out the perfect play in a complicated situation. I finally got it and was like "YES, I WIN!" But the rope burst IMMEDIATELY as I was making my last move in the series.
I really wish that the timer would extend by 2 seconds every time you attack with a creature, because I hate watching that tick down while I'm waiting for animations to play out.
Ah yes, the stupid Mad Bomber swings in Arena.

Oh I thought they would each get the same 240 card pool. This seems like whoever gets the better pool wins.
Since they need to create 3 decks, the power level is gonna be really similar.

Cloud 9 just drafted Dr Boom. Rip Scamaz and Archon.

The really frustrating thing is that I could have stopped it. I also had a Haunted Creeper to coin in. If I had coined that in, I would have had 2 1/1 minions against his 3/2 for the trade, and I would have had better tempo than him for the rest of the game. But...what were the chances? :-/

Maybe. I feel this format could have really highlighted the deck building aspect if it was the same pool. Easier to analyze decisions and differentiate when they have the same tools. Here however, there's so much discrepancy that you don't get to compare decision making between the teams.
Can only go in 1 deck though.

That's certainly a matter of opinion.
When you're playing a paladin at least there is some interaction.

You put a lot of thought into it, but I'm not convinced a dreadsteed deck will ever be viable. Fun, but middling. However, who knows what the upcoming expansion might bring to boost it and other unusual decks? I'd be thrilled for more eccentric lists to work (I myself run a highlander Brannadin deck that is about mid-tier but so much fun to play).

Dahbomb ran the Demonlock variant, and I'm pretty sure that one isn't viable. I put together two others that I think will run better, but who knows...
I decided to just run Arena for a while. Even if I spent all my coins on Naxx, I don't have the Dreadsteed cards, so it's kind of a silly investment. Arena is the most efficient use of coins.
