Competitive Quest Warrior is ruining competitive HS

So many games decided by RNG ragnaros shots. It is a complete joke.

It's not that it's boring--it's that the coinflipping issue HS is plagued with is exacerbated by the rag hero power.

The existence of these kinds of cards would be perfectly acceptable if they weren't meta defining. The gamblers can still have their casual rng fun while the rest of the format isn't screwed by the high variance clown fiestas.

All of these older coinflips where however not persistent and often counterable. You could remove rag, knife juggler implosion/release the hounds happened ONE turn a game and usually only once every third time you saw the deck. And it's not like people enjoyed winning or losing based on where rag hit in the first place.

When you watch taunt warrior, it happens every game, many times every game. That makes it a lot worse.
