ooohhh I've always wanted Hogger too.
Yeah looks like its time for me to mess around with some Mage decks at some point just to mess around especially if I land a quest for one

Yeah people have been saying how powerful cards are that draw specific cards or that can search your deck, this card can pretty much do just that. While a little slow at 7 mana, it would definitely be perfect for a combo deck.

The problem with 1 is you can only do this from turn 7, maybe, and the tempo loss is significant to do it. Worse, I'd guess in a lot of cases due to your mulligan, you will already have those cards drawn and played meaning it is completely dead.
Also the game ended two turns ago because of all the new fast cards :|
Scenario 2 is more viable, however I'd try Barnes + Malygos spell deck before that, given you still have to spend the 9 mana to play Malygos and that is a big problem.
Went to the dark side... Playing C'Thun Warrior.
It's like control warrior but way easier.
Still, people are really bad in the mirror. Beat both C'thun warrior mirrors today because both players just randomly played Sylvanas for no reason.
They end up playing C'thun, I play my Syl and Shield Slam it, and they have no way to get it back, so they can't get Doomcaller value.
Meanwhile I have Doomcaller and Elise so I just win.
If anyone here plays C'thun Warrior, don't waste your Sylvanas in the mirror. Stealing a Sylvanas, or stealing back a C'thun, is your only way to win if you're facing someone who knows how to play the match up.
I'm also very happy that I've beaten 2 Hunters in a row. That's a tough match up.
Isn't it funny that when I was playing Druid I saw three Face Shaman's in a row, but now that I'm playing a deck with tons of life gain they are nowhere to be seen? Hmmmmmm

I already touched on both of these.
Plus some Reno decks can use Jeweled Scarab and that new Murloc that is like a board clear.
must be nice! I'm up to 1010 dust. But got bout 400 dust worth of gold cards I could get rid of
huh got a friend that plays this build. Wonder if hes making similar mistakes. hes at 12
Yeah interesting I think I must've opened the same # of packs almost. My last legendary was a Gold Bloodhoof on 6-22. I played daily since so right around that same # of packs I land on another legendary
I probably shouldn't complain there are some legendaries I've sharded (Grul & oathspark) to put together some decent decks that I could use.
Played against someone that had a Gold Grul today. He got lethal'ed tho soon as he played it
Coin Steward into Muster into Blessing of Kings into Quartermaster would have been so fun in standard (and disgusting). Mysterious Challenger at 6 to seal the deal. ;__; I miss strong class cards for Pally.
Then you got classes like Hunter or Warrior with 20+ great class cards in their decks. >_>
Pally class card is disgusting, easily 2nd best after Warrior
Uldaman, Aldor, the legs, 2 great weapon
they have glaring missing link tho, they lack their "ravaging ghoul"
they're weak, but they not even in bad shape
must've not that hard found 2-3 new card in-between next 160 new card to made pally great again
The effects are great. They only don't have well statted minions until turn 6 with Mysterious Challenger in secret Paladin or turn 8 with Tirion or Light Rag. What other class is like that? Dropping either Keeper on an empty board sucks. They work well if you are on board though, but you don't really have great early Paladin cards for it.
Priest
Dem weapon doe, unlike priest you just slay mofo with weapon and debuff threat, but yeahhh the early game always feel clunky and they really need something to fill in there..

Blizzard isn't exactly known for their foresight. The cards could be completely broken and Blizzard would be none the wiser until players get the cards in their hands.

18-3 with this deck lul
At least 2 of the losses was my fault, and the other was extremely bad draws which would seem close to impossible with this deck to begin with.
I actually played til I hit 100g cap. I haven't done that since the original set.

Sure why not.

It makes sense. Doesn't seem like something you'll build your deck towards though.

1/1 copies have an effect on them that make them 1/1s. Be it from Shadowcaster, Hearld, or whatever else. That effect will be removed when silenced.
At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

My Joust/Y'Sarjj deck isn't stupid
If my master jouster didn't pull the literally only 4 cost or below minion in my deck, I would have survived one more turn and could have played either the Yogg or Y'Sarajj in my hand to make a comeback.

I didn't mean stupid in a bad way, I meant stupid in that I want something a little wacky and not necessarily competitive. Having a Yogg will help with that. All of my current decks are tryhard ladder decks for each class, it would be nice to have something fun and dumb for friendly matches.

I know, just joking around. You really did play that Rogue well.
I'm glad I could help you get that Yogg.
Most of the busted combos depend on the effect/deathrattle of the minion though. It would be good for a surprise lethal if the 1/1 survives a turn, but other than that it doesn't seem that useful.

And nothing really to add about Raving Grimoire other than it's yet another good mage arena card, and another overly random mage card for constructed.
Wait wut?
The top 5 decks in the meta right now are ALL aggressive/tempo decks: Dragon Warrior, Aggro Shaman, Token Druid, Zoolock and Midrange Shaman.
I would *like* a more aggressive format?
I'm talking straight face, those are still too slow for my liking.
That and I'm mostly coming up against control oriented decks in ladder for whatever reason.
How is it possible for the meta to be more aggressive than it is now without having every class just pointing their cards to face all day?
That sounds good to me!
You are everything that's wrong with the world.
So I went through the class and neutral cards where I liked the Barnes synergy and I made a nice list. Anything in italics is god tier opie opie. There are other nice cards but I felt these were the most notable, powerful, or interesting.
Druid - Mounted Raptor, Fandral, Aviana
Hunter - Infested Wolf, Kindly Grandmother, Savannah Highmane
Mage - Sorcerers Apprentice, Flamewaker, Antonidas, Rhonin
Paladin - Selfless Hero, Steward of Darkshire, Murloc Knight, Rag Lightlord, Tirion
Priest - Northshire Cleric, Auchenai Soulpriest, Shifting Shade, Confessor Paletress, Prophet Velen
Rogue - Undercity Huckster, Tomb Pillager, Xaril
Shaman - Flametongue Totem, Mana Tide Totem, Unbound Elemental, Thunder Bluff Valiant, AlAkir
Warlock - Blood Imp, Darkshire Librarian, Imp Gang Boss, Dreadsteed, Doomguard
Warrior - Nothing super important
Neutral - Argent Squire, Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, Acolyte of Pain, Argent Horserider, Brann, Twilight Summoner, Nexus Champion Saraad, Cairne, Thaurissan, Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Sylvanas, Ragnaros, Malygos, Ysera, YShaarj
So N'Zoth Paladin and N'Zoth Priest are some pretty key highlights of course, because Barnes is incredible with a huge number of their minions. But I also like the synergy in Deathrattle Hunter. The ones I listed for hunter are pretty good pickups and even something like Fiery Bat or Huge Toad isn't completely horrible. Malygos OTK's are a thing if your deck is extremely light on minions.There are other potentially powerful combos outside these decks but a lot of the decks that run those types of minions also have "spoiler" minions that will basically just come out as 1/1's.

You should play some Yugioh then. Fastest card game made, can actually die on first turn.
I actually played a combo deck that frequently took me to the time limit and never let the opponent get to play, it was hilarious. But I never got bored.
I either play the fastest deck in the format or some obscure slow alt win condition deck. I'm probably the most frustrating person in the world to play against.
If aggro players were a race, I would totally be down to wall them out.

I want hearthstone to get slower. The game's so aggressive as it is that you barely get to use the cooler higher cost cards.

for that to happen they'd have to fix attackers having the advantage
