Like Xan said, unless those cards have some strong effects outside the tribe tag they won't get used. Tribe decks are already not all that common and having dual tribes would make your deck even more inconsistent.
These cards would be decent in Arena though. But that was TGT in a nutshell and people considered that a failure.
Thanks for the insight. Back to thinking about what possible changes could happen
There are a thousand things they could do, it's not even worth trying to speculate.
Like maybe they can add in fusion/special summon mechanics. Battlecry: If you have X minion in play, summon Y.
Maybe cards that banish/remove cards from play. These cards can't be called back by stuff like Anyfin and Resurrect.
What about Discover mechanic but for cards that died this game? You can choose one of 3 cards that died this game and bring it back.
What about cards that are immune to minion targetting abilities? Or cards that are completely spell damage immune (like can't be damage by AOE)? Or a text that enhances minion ability damage? A card like Jinzo from YGO that increases cost of secrets by 10, completely disallowing their usage as long as its alive.
Maybe they can print Legendary spells. Legendary weapons. Legendary secrets.
Sky is the limit really.

2/4 Wrath of Air was kinda scary, but ehh...

Is it okay to say "sorry" when you got incredibly lucky? Like I just killed a guy's Deathlord and it popped out my KT, like a 5% chance of that happening.
Generally people are going to see that as BM, even if you mean it sincerely. Honestly, there are very few times you can emote and have people take it as friendly. Such is the game of Hearthstone.
That's 100% BM.
Messi to Real Madrid "Sorry for scoring that hat trick on you"

This is why we need more emotes.
I want the following, all with ambiguous lines for max polity or BM as needed:
Lucky
Good Game
Mind Games
Good Luck
Mercy
Respect

Except your example is someone being sorry because they did something skillful, which comes off as assholish, in my example I'm apologizing for my opponent being extremely unlucky.
Either way, point taken, I guess I'll just continue to never say anything.
Getting Dr Balanced from Unbalanced Esportal is the most skillful thing in the game. You will get massive salt from the opponent if you say sorry after pulling that play off.
Yes to all of these.
Even the respect one will be twisted to be some new form of BM.
They put in Happyfeast of Winterveil and that ended up being the biggest BM ever.
In table tennis it's common courtesy to say sorry when you hit the ball on the very edge of the table so that it's practically impossible for your opponent to respond. Same for a ball that brushes against the net and still passes to the other side, which is similarly difficult for the opponent to respond to. It's considered lucky and isn't usually part of a pro's "strategy", it just happens.
Sort of like extremely lucky RNG.

Sounds like a pretty good player
"I'm sorry" - Mage player
I think it can work after some ridiculous RNG (more than that example) but it's hero specific, it's impossible to read some emotes as anything but BM.

A middle finger to any type of handlock lol.
I'm okay with Lore, and Alex. Iron is kind of okay in my book maybe 3 mana? I don't know how I would change iceblock that's not removing it. Juggler is horseshit I'm with him on that one.

The small WoW references really make that comic
He'd never uninstall the game if it's not nerfed. How the hell would you fix iceblock without making it useless.
They could change the mechanics of it.
To say "When your hero takes fatal damage, prevent it and freeze all enemy characters this turn"
You could still die from burn or other ways. But it's still useful against match ups like Zoo.
Not saying this is what they could make it into, just gave an example.

No Ice Block would mean no Freeze Mage so...kill it plz
Ice block is fine. There just needs to be more anti-secret tech in the game. I'd sort of like it if the card could just be pushed to wild, but I don't think its OP by any stretch, just annoying. Scientist being removed from Standard will weaken the deck type it a lot, since it will be harder to stabilize before losing to aggro without it.
BGH needs a minor nerf IMO. They can always nerf him again in the future if its still an issue, but I think just making his kill range 8+ damage instead would help.
Realistically, Knife Juggler will become a 2/2. That or become a 3 drop. I don't see this card getting a major nerf now.
Alex needs to be changed, but I got no clue what to. If its left unchanged, it will be a major issue in wild in the future, unless Blizzard somehow designs a bunch of anti combo tech.
Iron Beak is a hard one. I feel a cheap neutral silence needs to be in the game to keep things in check, but it also is sort of the reason battle cry is significantly stronger than deathreattle. Maybe up it to 3 maan, but I'm not even sure if thats a good idea.

Freeze Mage...must go.
I had a brawl quest, lost two in a row then won five in a row, didn't feel good about any of it. It's random, but stretched out. Getting violet teacher off on turn 2 and then Aldor draw on turn 3, yeah, things are looking good.
I'm also up to 1030 gold after my plan to save gold for the expansion, the most i saved before was 400 to get a few packs together. There is a huge urge to get 10 standard packs to fill in my collection...

I'm at a decent 4,500 gold and about 9,000 dust so I'm ready to dive in on the new set. Whenever that drops...
Much better than whatever this was:
I just don't get why its not a 2 drop. I mean, it would still be bad, but it would be draftiable in arena, and nice in newbie decks,

da soul of da kard
ya, I hate how if there is any minion of at least 4 attack left on the board by turn 7-9 the druid wins.
Something something soul of the card.
Makes me feel kinda sad for them, in a way. Poor Dr. Boom. He had his moment in the sun, only to be taken away from him forever.
Well this way he is always preserved in his OP state. He was so powerful that he transcended nerfs.
It's very possible that he continues to dominate Wild as well. Even among gods and monsters... he will remain the best there is!

I'd do the single player stuff or the tavern brawls.
