Because the lack of clarification (and my laziness) my comment came out antisemitic, brash, ignorant, and offensive.
tl;dr: wasn't trying to sound like a nazi, just didn't clarify statement.
in other news. I was actually on the CLG hypetrain before yesterday.
Not sure if you saw, tried to defend you a little bit, but no point after the ban has already been dealt. meh.

yeah, I saw. I thought the ban was a bit overzealous, but I could see how if you were overly politically sensitive you could misconstrue my message as antisemitic

I'm 2-1 in the current daily, only losing to Amulet of Vigor combo.
I was once hanging out at my friends' apartment. One of them was playing some MtGO, and after we had had a few drinks he said "fuck it" and bought all the cards necessary for a Tron deck. I sat there watching him play, and at the end of the night I decided that Modern is cancer as fuck.
Why ? It's pretty fun. Not if you play Tron though.

Since legendaries are generally considered somewhat more efficient for their cost, at some point when we reach enough cards in hearthstone will decks evolve into almost all legendaries/epics?
or does magic not really have anything that you could take as an example of this?
Unsure. Legendaries definately seem to have their cost budget much higher on the design end, but tend to be well within the bounds of acceptable ranges. It just depends on the mechanics of the cards coming as usually these are the ones that build decks.
Zoo at the moment is good because hearthstone has NUMEROUS low costed efficient creatures. Things like ramp druid work because they are able to power out cards much earlier and there big creatures are once again incredibly efficent for their costs. Even at 7 mana Ancient of Lore is a damn good card and I would play 2 or 3 of them if you just ported it over to magic.
Rogue works right now because Combo is Combo. You draw a lot of cards and play a lot of cards.
It's a possiblity that it could happen, but I think blizzard could also start limiting which cards can be on ladder ect. once they reach that point.
Stuff like ancient of lore, Highmane, Waraxe, SW:D, Flame elemental are equally or better than pretty much all legendaries currently.
In mana to value.
Waraxe? Do you mean Gorehowl, the epic Warrior weapon? Highmanes are so stupid. If at least they were epics, but they're rares, so most people have them too. x_x

I love highmane =D Way too much value.
You're dirty.
KoF XIII is super hard. Well it probably isn't that much, but it's a fighter, so it's super hard anyway. Which makes me want to try even harder at it. Darn it!
You should play Warlock, the demon kind. It's fun as heck. Warrior is nice too but without the big cards you lose to more standard control decks it feels like.

I also love Warlock, but I had the cards available for hunter.

There's no point playing Control Warrior without the legs.
What's the point in stalling to lategame when you don't have the lategame?
