Who knows? Maybe even Hunter will get a chance in the spotlight one day. Nah, probably not."


This is golden
The rest of the article is great as well

Oh how do I miss the days of tempo.
Nothing is OP when you know how to counter it.

I miss Nat Pagle and Tinkmaster, they added interesting RNG to the game since almost every control player ran them in their decks. "If Tink make the enemy minion into a devilsaur, how do i deal with it? Will my opponent get to draw with his nat pagle?" etc. Nowadays as a warrior control player, the only RNG is rag and brawl (and ysera for those who run her). Sure, RNG is debatable, but it adds a suprise element to the game.

I feel they should revert the nerf on Pagle. Since then, the meta has moved from card advantage and card draws to a bursty aggro meta, of which Pagle is weaker. It would be nice to see him used, rather than not at all, ever, that it is at the moment.

Hearthstone's been around for a pretty short time, and already the meta has gone through many cycles. Although a few classes are clearly more used than others, I feel the game is in a very healthy state. Even the supposedly "dead" classes such as priest and paladin are showing up again. Looking forward to seeing the changes it goes through over the remainder of the year.


Since the article only covered this year, if you remember the Innkeeper's Invitational at Blizzcon: that's then Priest QQ was overwhelming and Paladin dominated the brackets. That was less than a year ago!

Ya, it's all part of the meta changing and developing. I feel blizzard has done a good job putting HS in the right direction. Out of all of these decks though I have to say I feel mage was maybe nerfed prematurely. For one, i'm always one of the people that feel the players should have the chance to figure out the meta and evolve. Don't get me wrong, I remember how sick it was seeing so many mages and they were frustrating. But I don't think it would be that strong now even if everything was reversed. (pre-naxx even) Now, post-naxx, I feel mage is the most underpowered class in the game by a long shot.
What we obtain too cheaply; we esteem too lightly. It is in dearness only that gives everything it's value.

blizzard wants to keep the game minion heavy. Its not supposed to be freeze your opponent until you can finish him with a pyroblast.

Sure, spell heavy decks are fine, but its definitely desired to have minions used as well. Without that the game becomes rock paper scissor flare.
