Warsong Commander is changing
http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/19288409377
Card text will now read, “Your charge minions have +1 Attack.”
Ben Brode discussed this on YouTube. Here were his main points (Ben Brode talking about Warsong Commander https://youtu.be/PprkXykU5xM )
Warriors are already pretty low on the Arena tier list, and this change does take them down further. This will have to be addressed in future sets.
Charge and Direct Damage are two of the least fun things in Hearthstone. You can’t react to them, you must be proactive.
They wanted to make the card less complicated because it is in the basic set.
Warsong Commander was nerfed instead of Grim Patron or Frothing Berserker because the biggest issue now, and going forward, was Warsong.
It was important to keep the identity of the card intact as much as possible.
They tried 30 or 40 different designs to see which ones felt the best for the card.
Dreadsteed was originally going to be released in Naxxramas as a Neutral Minion. Warsong Commander prevented that due to their interaction.
Hearthstone officially heading to Japan

The important part of this story is to know that Blizzard provides an Authenticator to protect your account for iOS and Android (or physical device for $5). USE IT!

Espo Mode An encounter at the crossroads… under a manastorm! Choose a class, get random cards. Each turn your cards’ costs are randomized!
Pre-constructed decks of your chosen class. Cards in your hand can and will change their cost each turn.
“Turn 2 Onyxia” “Turn 3 Alex” I’ve seen a bunch and I loved it. Allows for an easy win, or a long, drawn out random battle to the end.
