It's a 3 mana card. 4/3 stats are almost premium. People play Azure Drake primarily for the draw, and I can play the 4/3 earlier to contest the board.
Renolock already plays stuff like Harvest Golem and Imp Gang in 3 slot alongside Farseer, this is not that bad of a substitute for one of the first two ( I would still play Farseer). Most aggro deck players are going to read this text and over estimate it, probably go out of their way to kill it.

Legendaries are supposed to be broken.
Kripp did a video on that. He played it in Rogue so he could also use Gang Up to get more Y'Shaarj to pull Y'Shaarj. Chances are the other guy lost like five matches before. If somebody plays a deck that ambitious you can't get too mad.
Warlock can get better high end spells in the future. They are probably future proofing themselves by making it a one time thing.
It was probably Ramp Druid which means there were tons of potentially devastating Barnes pulls. Ragnaros, Deathwing Dragonlord, Ysera, Sylvanas, for example.

So what if it's warlock spells and even at the cost of life. 0 mana spells are insanely strong in a game about tempo. You could make a case that warlock wants better spells but at 0 cost, many spells are much stronger than when you pay for them. And warlock is a class that is more limited by their mana, less than their cards due to lifetap. It's potentially broken in a class like warlock... and just absurd to even consider having multiple 0 mana spells in a single turn.
Lol, no they aren't.

Then the Hearthstone dev team is failing handedly.

I'm sorry but they are... not utterly broken, but they are meant to be the braking point of the game, that's why they are legendary, because they have a much greater impact on the game at the cost of more mana or more patience.
Which other non legendary compares to Ragnaros? or to Sylvannas? Grommash? I know because the moment I added rag to my warriors, everything changed
Call of the Wild, 4 mana 7/7, Tunnel Trogg, Mana Wyrm, Flamewaker, Thing from Below, Ravaging Ghoul, Forbidden Ritual, Tuskar Totemic, Fireball, Innervate etc. are all better cards, used more often and win more games than those cards. If we start talking about Wild, aside from Dr Balanced stuff like Mysterious Challenger, Mad Scientist, Belcher, Void Caller and Shredder are more powerful than any Legendary.
The sooner you realize this the better you will be as a player. They aren't as exciting of course but who cares when you are winning.
I would do way, way better with a deck full of commons than a deck full of Legendaries. It wouldn't even be close in fact.

Maybe I'll try for Rank 10 this season for the extra golden card.
But I'll have to figure out how to beat Resurrect Priest first.

I agree but that has hardly to do with the argument. Legendaries are creatures only for the first part, they rarely synergies amongst themselves and are more top heavy.
Doesn't change how they are being designed to be at more game changing powerlevels than other rarities.
I was thinking of that card in a Dragon Warrior deck... it might be worth
I think some people are suggesting he might be good in Priest.
the hunters and shamans are making huge win profits from warrior decks, I guess this is natural.
I don't see it changing for the better on warrior this month
Oh yeah sure! I had forgotten about that, but with Blessed Funnelcake lord being the most used Priest 4 drop these days, priests are running a good number of spells. And even if you are running several low cost ones, you always have some Excavated Evil/Holy Novas and your usual assortment of other priest stuff (Lightbomb in Wild, RIP). Or you could always Purify for MEGA VALUE.
Warrior is dropping in popularity while aggro/midrange decks are dominating the ladder. Maybe it is time for an aggro Paladin resurgence?

Those are strong cards, but not broken.

He's gonna be the best in decks that can curve into 8 mana spells.
Doubt aggro pally will beat aggro Shaman though. Especially with their cheaper aoe, heavier burst and high HP minions for a low cost.

Quite a nice Brawl pack! I didn't have Onyxia either.

There's gotta be something when you play Prince Mal against Jarraxus too, right?

Summoning Portal + Illhoof is hilarious. All the Karazhan interactions are great.
On a related note, someone told me Sir Finley Mrrggllton was spotted at a quest hub in Legion!
lmao

I wonder if blade flurry with medivh's weapons causes a minion to summon before the weapon breaks.

holy shit... that's a pack
it is also the best case you can have opening packs.. since the reset for the pack legendary happens only once

Would suck if somehow you cast Blade Flurry, it summoned the Minion, broke the weapon, and then you did zero damage across the board.
Will be interesting to see how it works.

Just your deck. I'm just using it because it's a fun card. I don't think it's that great, but it's fun to see what cards you get.

Guessing you got lucky or something because I haven't seen anything like that happen when I was going up against that fight.

God damn it, I'm 6-7 playing that deck, and it would litterally be an improvement to not have Y'Shaarj in the deck for all those games. I drew or discarded Y'Shaarj in well over half my games, while I drew Barnes literally three times, all after turn 4 and after drawing/discarding Y'Shaarj.
The fact that I'm still almost 50% despite just starting to play it and never getting the draw the deck was built for shows how much potential that deck has.
Removed one Cat Trick for a Bear Trap because it can be hard to bait out spells without minions in some matchups, and Emperor for freezing trap because Barnes needs something if you draw Y'Shaarj first, which is 50% likely outside your opening mulligan, and it's a pretty free win to Barnes out an Emperor anyway.
Turn 1 put it on the blue side so it only takes 1 damage a hit. Netherspite then never attacks the whole game.
Heroic netherspite is something else. Twisting nether and the ability to turn your minions to 1healt save me target dummy and shield bearer. That was fun.
Freeze mage works just fine on the ghost but I still need to do the last 1 3/3 chargers hurt to top it off with 2 6/6s.
Oh use the jousting charger on neatherspite it makes quick work of him.

The chance of hitting the pity timer is super low anyway.
Maybe not super low, around 12%.
