Brief Steve introduction - we're going to talk a lot about Off Curve in Tournaments so no need to overdo it here
Hi Steve!
For the maybe one person that doesn't know who you are but also listens to this show, tell us about your involvement in the HS community
http://offcurve.com/masterstour
Why Priest?
Anduin, Tyrande, or Lazul?
How has it been getting involved in both the official and grassroots HS tournament scene more over the past year or so, both as a caster, developer, and player? @Botticus

Decksplanations - Galakrond's Awakening Retrospective
Bott
Card you overrated: Twisted Knowledge
Card you underrated: Winged Guardian
Positive thing: Kept Things Interesting
Constructive/disappointing thing: Adventure wasn’t fun
Hat
Card you overrated: Boompistol Bully
Card you underrated: Animated Avalanche
Positive thing: Pacing of mini-metas and self-correcting aspects
Constructive/disappointing thing: Adventure structure
Wicked
Card you overrated: Sky Gen’ral Kragg
Card you underrated: Rising Winds
Positive thing: Shifting the meta without giving us a broken deck (yet)
Constructive/disappointing thing: Trying to keep up with the constantly changing meta
Cards that I think fit these categories based on my opinions if you want to use them:
Over: Fist of Ra-Den, Bully, Maybe Erkh or Gazer, Cleric of Scales, Kragg, Reno?, Licensed Adv
Under: Air Raid, Rising Winds, Skipper, Manasaber, Guardian, Fresh Scent, Skyvateer, Scalelord
Cards that were exactly as good as we thought: Felwing
Things I thought of that could be considered good or bad
Good things: Meta freshness, pacing of card releases/changes, pacing of mini-metas, appropriate power level, sneaky variety of options over time, experimentation with different set release formats, dev communication, Togwaggle's voice lines, the puppet show
Bad things: Cost, pacing of card releases/changes, pacing of mini-metas, Embiggen druid, initial polarization of the meta towards a small number of classes, timing with esports events, late card reveals, adventure structure, adventure difficulty

There once was a player named Hat,
who knew face was always where it's at.
However, he had,
at tourneys forbad
Face Hunter, saying "don't pick that".
