This is a horribly boring expansion. Imo the game is at a new low.
This expansion introduced some pretty awesome stuff that I just do not care for.
Karazhan was boring as well, and the cards have not a had a very big impact like I believe Exploreres and BRM had.
Was Old gods that good? not sure, but I think that it was overall better than Gadgetzan..
But I am actually just salty, because I have no idea what I think could improve the game, but it is very much status quo.
(DISCLAIMER: I am not sure if this is just because of my motivation to play the game).

@emil
I think for one our motivation is fading... because I have similiar impressions. The game simply does not introduce much novelty in terms of mechanics and gameplay. It's mostly adding more the same with a bit of a twist. I wonder if this game will be revolutionized at some point...
There's one thing I like though. Currently the meta is quite ok from my perspective, I enjoy playing a lot of different decks while still doing ok. Aside from maybe Pirate Warrior (which still can be quite effectivly countered) there's no OP decks, in the "auto-concede when I see them" sense at least. Most of the decks that were really irritating me a lot are gone: Freeze Mage, Mill decks and Face decks. And that is sth that makes me quite happy. But I'm talking about casual of course. Ladder is pretty much flat.
I still enjoy playing H from time to time. Maybe it's for the best, I was sinking a lot of time into it previously, too much for my own good. My collection has got so big that I'm having a hard time to think of what to craft next, and the truth is there's not that many must-craft cards in Gadgetzan (I think that I have most of the useful ones at least). That's why you probably think it's 'boring' emil.

I would like to agree with you actually. The meta at the moment is pretty good. It is almost balanced. Only Pirate seems to be annoying. There are not that many cancer decks out there..
So that is actually the good thing.
But you are right will this game be revolutionized at some point? Who knows! I think they are "working" up to that. By making it more their own game and less Warcraft-ish.
But I just think the game is too much highs and lows. 1 expansion = 1-2 months intense play. 1-2 month low. 1 Adventure = 1-2 months high. 1-2 month low. New expansion. etc.
EDIT: Crafted Don han cho and Bristle dude..
Now going all in on Paladin for the next month or so!

Going with fun not popularity (though I still think those are good cards), great! Tell me how they fare after some playtesting, I'm still pretty interested in both
From my side I crafted Rat Pack, because why not? So far it's a solid addition to my Buff Hunter deck, I think I could even run two if I find a second one in a pack...

The overflow if shamans kills it for me a bit.
However the new cards mixed arena quite well where warlock and priesr are now often seen instead of just pally/rogue. Mage is still king of course

Burnbristle is pretty solid. He works every time and in a lot of situations.. Don Han cho is a set up card. You want him to hit the right cards. Not sure how good a craft he was! Hopefully he will redeem himself!
Seen the new leak on a possible expansion/adventure?

Yup the pally legendary usually deals with a minion and heals you a bit quite nice. I wish i had hancho myself to try out.
Thanks for sharing the leak....not super hyped but i guess it could be fun (although we already have nuch of the creatures found there in the game).
I was bored a while ago and made a scenario for an adventure myself if you wanna read Arthas Story

Kool, Dinosaurs! Everything shapes nicely for this one, an Adventure most likely. I'm afraid it will be a bit too similiar in theme to LoE though...
King Krush hype?

I like the theme! I really want dinos and trolls! A headhunter!
And I really want it to be more LoE. LoE is how adventures should be told and made. They did everything right on that adventure.

Talking about LoE: I was thinking about some Druid-Decks I want to try lately and noticed that I actually got no Raven Idol. Is there any way to substitute that?
There's just no way I'm buying more LoE chapters some month before those cards circle out of standard anyway.

I think Raven Idol fell out of popularity a bit lately (too inconsistent?), so you won't be needing it that much. I don't know if it's replaceable but depending on the deck you play it's best to go with another cheap spell I think: Mark of Lotus/Wild (for faster decks or if you want to boost Arcane Golem) or even Mark of Y'Shaarj if you're playing a few Beasts and want card draw...

If they are being true to their word then this should be an expansion. Because it is supposed to be 2 expansions and 1 adventure every year. In this order Expansion - Adventure - Expansion.

Just day before yesterday I was winning a loooooong loooong game, it was 20+ minutes I think, and my connection crashed just before my last turn came, I would have lethal from hand.
I was sooo pissed. I knew that yeah I am so done for the day. But when I logged today it said I had won the game, so apparently he surrendered either by being generous because of my d/c or just assuming I had lethal anyways. However was the case I was happy
that is my anti-rant

He is an excellent anti weapon card.
But because Blizzard has made aggro so incredibly strong he is way too slow now. Why? Because Shaman Weapons cost 1 and 2 mana respectively. Harrison is 5 mana. Fail.
And by turn 5 you die to Pirate Warrior or Shaman eitherway. So no, he can't be used at the moment. But if the next meta isn't this fast it can be a very good tech card - which it has used to be in the past.

The game seems to only disconnect on winning games in my case so yeah...
And about aggro: Blizzard first says they want to balance the game and then they make a 3/2 one-drop with absolutely no drawback (Flame Imp at least takes 3 health). I mean how clueless can they be? If this is a part of their real agenda (many people still enjoy the fast paced aspect of the game), then at least they shouldn't sugarcoat this and be honest...
PS: Speaking of which, I'm keeping one golden SM Bucanner that I got from a pack. With the incoming (unofficial yet) nerf this will make a great profit

Buccaneer is actually 4/3 if you count +1/+1 from Patches, lol. Not a strong start at all.
"Pirate package is run in 50% of the decks", stated Brode in his post this week. Hold on to that golden Buccaneer, even if they want a fast meta they haven't liked overplayed cards in the past
