Chances are the redditors will never commit anything

But I agree it would be good if more people were adding stuff

Will also be including Piloted Shredder in the next patch, along with every 2 drop in the game at the time to make sure it works as intended.

You're trolling

How about if you don't add that power creeping garbage

GVG was the beginning of the end for hearthstone

This is their cardstone vision the way that it was meant.

The game has to be recreated faithfully. There many broken powercreep cards already in the game.

Dr boom, Patron warrior, etc..

Checked the lists for Naxx, BRM, GVG

In general this is the start of Blizz trying to force a meta/archetype on the game and it's generally bad

Things that should be added are cards that open up some interesting new avenue for creativity, while not actually upsetting the balance of the game (usually because they aren't actually good).

Cards that should not be added are those that are clearly just stronger than the previous generation of cards or add forced mechanics that aren't actually good for the game (such as: Do a random X. Or: Buff all your mechs)

Cards that I saw that I think would be good adds:
Gang Up
Majordomo
Jeeves
Snowchugger
Shrinkmeister
Lightbomb
Iron Juggernaut

All others are either meh or gameruining. Gameruiners:
Kel'Thuzad
Flamewaker
Anything with the word "Random" on it. Eg Nefarian, Flamecannon, Unstable Portal, Shredders
Mech archetype (including Shredder)
Paladin muster for battle deck

Meh/Maybe:
Deathrattle hunter cards
Dragon archetype
Murloc archetype
Mal'ganis

I agree, I felt that way when i saw Dr Boom but then i added it to handlock and won with it so I decided it was OK

Also btw I'm just having fun going through cards and expressing an opinion on whether they should've been added to HS in the first place

If you're trying to remake mech hellscape then go ahead

You should add Firelands Portal and Yogg

Mech mage enablers and Portal are obviously not going to be added any time soon. Same as face hunter.

What's the motivation to add shredder

It's just a powercreep card that gets added to every list + the start of the mech insanity

It's not added to every list. Handlock, Freeze, Patron warrior, and Priest don't play it.
Zoo maybe plays it? I don't remember seeing it in the lists I was reading.
The only decks that would add it right now are Oil and Combo druid - both of which might opt to run only 1 even.

So why add it

Because oil and combo druid play it. It's a funny card that introduces more interesting gameplay.

Removing this because I was getting trolled and don't want to look like I have autism

[quote="big_ass, post:518, topic:10367, full:true"] Is the game improved by having Piloted Shredder in Oil or Combo druid?

It's an add there because it's a generic card that's significantly stronger than other cards in the game, so a list that doesn't actually need it/it doesn't make any sense in adds it anyway

Cards like this destroy the core identity of the game - the core identity should be around the creative and diverse decks but Blizz started to make it a forced core identity around each release's dumb archetype

Around here is where they nerfed handlock too. Because they consider it unhealthy that a deck archetype should consider to survive as-is through all their various patches (wrong - when you remove a core decklist of a cardgame you remove its core identity)

They nerfed molten giant in Old Gods, if that's what you mean - which is 3 patches after our current version or something.

You should add Sneed's Legendary Shredder if you want to add a Funny Card to the game.
