Blizzard's favorite Hearthstone cards
Blizzard Community Manager Zeriyah has posted a great blog today over on the official Hearthstone site where she has hounded the devs on Team Five to cough up their favorite cards to complement her own selection. Zeriyah had a harder time with some of the devs than the others, as she reports on Twitter:
I asked @bdbrode what his favorite Hearthstone card was, and he just yelled, "JARAXXUS, LORD JARAXXUS." "What about Jaraxxus?" "JARAXXUS!!!"

But several of the others were more forthcoming, and Eric Dodds selection of the Crazed Alchemist seemed the most exciting of all the cards chosen. He explains his choice as follows.
This sounds like a really exciting card, that has a huge amount of potential. One of the things I really like about Hearthstone is the involved nature of the strategy, it's not MtG, sure, it's far easier to wrap your head around than that, but it epitomizes Blizzard's philosophy of easy to learn, hard to master, with tactical cards like these.
What about you? Have you seen any cards that tickle your fancy? Or, if you're playing any other online card games, what do you enjoy there? As a current Order and Chaos Duels addict, cards that are high risk high reward appeal to me, such as ones that deal heavy damage to your opponent but also to your hero. What sort of cards are you hoping to see?
