I'm conflicted. The two parts of me warring for supremacy are:
The classic battle, emotion vs reason. Sigh
-You must collect more stuff! You'll be hopelessly behind if you don't get the pre-order! It's only $X, don't worry about it!
-You barely play this game anymore. It's just not that compelling, and most of the deck ideas out there are mere variations on old themes. EVEN is handlock. Oh, another version of big druid. Oh look, some clever combo that is a bitch to pull off and totally not fun if you can't draw it. Oooh, memes...... whatever
The classic battle, emotion vs reason. Sigh

I’m going to do what I’ve always done (since GvG anyway): spend zero dollars, use my 10k dust I’ve banked up to craft the best cards, play arena to get the rest of the cards.

Hearthstone sucks. The thing they did wrong, from the beginning, with this game was to make the Arena a pay to play format. It is the best version of the game, and there are some simple things they could do to make it better.
1. Barrier of entry. You have to pay in money or gold to participate. You have to perform to a certain level just to break even or do better than your investment. This in combination of the randomness of what card you get to pick causes a lot of people not to even bother.
2. It takes too long. You can spend 10-15 minutes drafting a deck, then over an hour playing your run. The 10-win, 3-loss game format is too many.
3. Random Hero choice. This is them admitting that they cannot get balancing correct to save their lives. The only reason they randomize and make you choose one of 3 hero's is because if they let you pick, everyone would pick the consensus 1-2 best heroes. Making for a dull format. Why not have a running pick % with the lesser picked heroes getting an extra chance to draft higher quality (epic/legendary) cards.
4. Why is there no ranking system? Arena could/should have a ranking system just like the constructed format. Give monthly rewards.
5. Give more free-rolls. If you are going to continue to make it pay-to-pay, at least give away a weekly free-roll to entice more people to try it.

I had stopped doing anything but the dailies, now i dont even bother with them. Ill do the single-player content in each expansion and then call it quits till the next one unless they drastically change their entire design philosophy.

This so much. I was hoping Magic would be good but it looks meh and it is not a TCG. Why is the most popular card game in the world not a TCG???

The 1/5 neutral is going to be strong.
Hard to evaluate Magnetic really since it's a Choose 1: Buff OR minion.
Overall the effect seems strong due to the flexibility.
Zilliax is almost Burnbristle, except 2 more mana for Rush and +1 attack. And he's Neutral, and he can be played as a buff for big heals.
He should see a ton of play.

Ironically I looked at the reveals and had the same thought, the 1/5 is the strongest card there.

I can see it with malygos. Not sure what else yet for druid... maybe Hadronox but idk.. ideally you want to cheat Hadronox.
4mana malygos is pretty good though. Could be tier1. Not quite as good as old maly druid though that used aviana and kun, but this card means needing less combo pieces, but also less damage (can't faceless for 1 mana).
