    Nice expansion with good cards for all classes. The new Meta is also more diverse and control oriented.

    Good work from Blizzard, after the good expansion LoE I was expecting this one to suck like TGT, but surprises are always nice!

    This expension did what every expension does, just better.
    The Meta is very diverse and the old gods - or at least three of them - are really good and fun.
    It is to bad that people seem always to go for fast face decks, but with C'Thun/Control Warrior and N'Zoth Paladin/Rouge/Priest there are enough slow decks to choose from. I really like this expension and the new rotation based    This expension did what every expension does, just better.

    Cool expansion with interesting card design. Whispers of the Old Gods also brings some balance changes, which made meta more diverse and control oriented. After not great TGT this is truly a breath of fresh air in Heathstone.

    C'Thun, C'THUN, C'THUN!!! Someone was under a heavy Lovecraft influence or playing too much Bloodborne when making this expansion and I love it. The entire old gods theme is just amazing, finally cards in Hearthstone that are not completely kiddie & goofy, much much better than both GvG and TGT. With these cards and new standard format, this has been the biggest change in decks inC'Thun, C'THUN, C'THUN!!!

By far the best Hearthstone expansion yet. 9/10… Expand

    The best expansion so far. C'Thun makes the game go faster for fear that the rival improve it and throw it before you, and Yogg Saron gives the possibility to create the deck most fun of the entire game. And the standard mode makes new players can play, simply.

    Hearthstone: Whispers of the Old Gods manages to bring a breath of fresh air to a stale metagame. Design seems to have shifted from useful all-around good cards to more unique cards that you build your deck around, creating new and refreshing archetypes. Another solid hit after League of Explorers. [June/July 2016]

    Unfortunately the newest expansion of the popular card game not only does little to provide additional depth, quite the contrary as it rather reduces the variety of top decks. We wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future we will only see a handful of identical decks on the virtual tables.

    Time will tell whether or not Hearthstone will keep appealing to new players. With Whispers of the Old Gods the game feels new and fresh once again that two years after the release of the vanilla game still makes it worth playing.
