Well I wonder if it's enough for a theme. I mean, they aren't planning on making only Faceless and Cultist minions aren't they? And the game is called "Heroes of Warcraft" so I don't suppose they will add Old Gods as cards (though we already have Elemental Lords). Hmm, testing that 'fates' mechanic in this weeks Brawl might be a hint, but I doubt they will add such a mechanic to normal games (that would be a lot of RNG imo). We'll see, Old Gods is still just a rumor cause if I recall there was also this 'Demons winning the Brawl' short movie a while back, and that also might hint to sth.

Was the League of Explorer's enough of a theme? An organization that we knew very little about, having all of one famous member?
Also I think that they would add old gods as cards, just my two cents.

Old Gods cards has to be a part of the expansion if it the main theme. But it will be hard to make them balanced, because they have to be bad ***, you know?
But I just never loved that part of the lore.

Sigh Today on March 9th I opened a 2nd Justicar Trueheart after crafting him back on Jan 20th.
So annoying when this happens. Come on Ysera why are you hiding from me?

It's a she  But like I mentioned before this happened to me also with Ragnaros. But it's not even close to what I felt when my first TGT Legendary (not counting Varian who I crafted) was Skeleton Knight  I was sooo salty back then...

I crafted Ysera, 3 packs later she said hello :/
It's hard to fit her in a deck to be honest with aggro and entombing priests everywhere

WARNING SPOILER for those who want to wait till tommorows announcement.
This rather settles it... (or this might actually be one of the biggest trollings I've ever seen).

To make things easier: http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/1215-whispers-of-the-old-gods-expansion-reveal-live
While the concept of some cards buffing the Legendary Gods is interesting, the cards they've shown so far are either troll or a really cheap and lazy powercreep design. I mean LAZY. Cards like 'Polluted Hoarder' which is simply a buffed 'Loot Hoarder' or an army of give +X/+X to your [input Old God name here] minions. Imo this limits deck design so much that it's not even funny. If this is their idea of "keeping things fresh" then I'll soon be out of this game... well of course it's still too early to say the exp can turn out really good.
PS: Deck slots on Monday, wheeee!
EDIT: I've read an interesting interview on IGN which gives some more info: nerfs will be annouced a week before WotOG release, they've narrowed the nerfs to 10-12 cards, BGH is high on their nerf list (plus other cards which "players have been complanining about") and they seem to be still reluctant to buff cards...

By no means is Polluted Hoarder a powercreep... it is actuall imho almost unplayable. 4/2 is so bad for 4 mana. Every 1 drop trades with it. You loose insane tempo for 1 draw. Not good.
But I agree that the cards so far aren't insanely interesting. The theme is wicked nice though ^^

Well, I used the wrong word here... powercreep is when you make a similiar card with better stats for the same cost. What I actually mean is that it's just so incredibly lazy it hurts. It's basically a Loot Hoarder with doubled stats. This way they can make a "Demonic Hoarder" 6/3 for six mana etc, and say "hey it's a new card, new ways to play!" and other bull... that is not the way to go. They have so much time, they really can do better then that, they can think of some more interesting cards.
Putting that aside, yes the card is incredibly unplayable, if they made him a "Deathrattle: draw two cards" he might have been at least semi-playable...
EDIT: Another Legendary from the new set:
It's decent at most (basically a Trogzor, and we know how 'popular' he was after the initial hype and few months later...). On the other hand, if they nerf Fireball (5 dmg would be a good nerf) he might become sticky: basically you must remove him in one 'hit', cause when trading the more minions you use to kill him off, the more Taunts he spams, and those must be removed beforehand... hmm, he might have potential afterall.
But this card continiues to show a worrysome tendency that most new cards are recycles of old ideas (yeah, I know it's the 'theme' but I call it more of a lazyness then anything else). Interesting fact: this card is shown at the start of the cinematic opening to WotoG, and seems to confirm that at least the stats shown there are true.

One of the most irritating aspects of Hearthstone nowadays is that each "fat minion" card is valued by removals. BGH this, BGH that, blah blah. For one, BGH will be nerfed. Secondly, one of the most fun things about Dragon (which I adore) and control decks is that you throw so many heavy minions that your opponent can't keep up with removing them. You can't have a whole decks of removals! At least that's what my expierience with the game shows... of course, fast and aggro decks are still more effective in the long run 
BTW, there's another new card with an interesting mechanic:
This seems to push the control Hunter type. We'll see, I really liked the more beast oriented controlish Hunter decks of pre-Naxx era...
EDIT:
Holy c*ap, better late then never...
My thoughts: a great card. Might single-handly destroy Secret Paladin, and it's interesting on it's own. As a bonus it might be the bane of Freeze Mage, another deck which I despise (both decks can be played around, but without good hand usually leave you optionless and you loose). People complain that it might make secrets unplayable overall, but I think they have the wrong idea here. Aside from SP almost no deck plays more then 2 secrets at a time (one at a time being the usual scenario) so Eater is a tech card, it's stats and effects not being that great (though still solid, a 3/5-4/6 for 4 mana is decent). Blizzard created a card that might not be played that much, but it's presence will be enough to stop SP in it's tracks I think...

Oh I know, but still BGH being nerfed will not remove all of the other control options at their disposal.
And as of right now there are two decks I really want to complete. I want a murloc deck........don't judge me. And I am looking to complete my dragon deck. Btw you probably mentioned this earlier, but which class do you run with the dragons? Seems like either Priest or Paladin could work though I lean towards Pally.

Both. Dragon Priest is interesting, it plays like your standard control Priest but with more aggresive opening which is important for Priest class with all this aggro decks. That said Paladin is the best class for Dragons imo, because of Dragon Consort and a couple of tools to prolong life/buff your Dragons and some other support stuff. I've had the most fun ever in Hearthstone with my Dragon deck but I'm afraid it's too slow for todays meta (it always had trouble with aggro and now it's even worse). If I'll find it, I can post the decklist for you...
Oh, and I've seen a Dragon/Malygos Warlock a few times.

That is interesting..... never would have occurred to me.
I absolutely love slower paced decks, and it frustrates me to no end that the current meta does not even give them much of a chance.

Giant sandworm is an insanely awesome card. But I have a hard time seeing how to set it up with its cost being 8.
Draw Pet was from GvG so that one is no use to setting it up. I know everyone is talking about beastial wrath, which I believe is a strong move but again that means you need to wait one turn unless you have set up with Rhino! .. The combo is tough.
Secret eater is awesome and might turn out to be a must have against paladins, mages and hunters. A great card
EDIT: I bought a TGT pack and opened and got my second Legendary within 7 days.. Eydis Darkbane.. (already have her). I now have 1300 dust.

Seen the new forbidden cards?
I like them, they are most likely going to be auto-includes in most of the new decks.
