But Im definitely not sure about that list even being real, its extremely uneven in quite a lot of ways.

I mean, if it's a fake it's a really smart one.

* Came from a fairly high level player who's aiming to get into GM, could plausibly get the list from a GM friend.
* Has a lot of fan favourite cards
* Doesn't have a lot of hated cards or cards that reddit kept predicting (no Genn, no Baku, no death knights)
* Doesn't have cards that would be weird like quests (you cant have two quests active at once)
* Doesn't have singleton cards like Reno or Kazakus (highlander decks are already good in standard, and already gain a lot from adding a bunch of legendaries)
* Has strong support for decks that are bad in standard (secret paladin support, lots of mage support with mage being the least played class, control priest support with cards that probably don't go into the dominant priest deck).

Like...it's a pretty well thought-out list.

There's maybe three aspects of this list that make me skeptical: Evolve seems a bit strong for quest shaman. Kun seems a bit strong for Quest Druid. And I would expect more support for a control warlock, although...I'm not sure what the control warlock support card would be. (Defile is probably out cause none of the other cards rotated out this year, so maybe Voidcaller or Mal'Ganis?)

Then again, if the list had nothing that looked like a mistake I'd also find this suspicious. The boomsday buffs obviously had a mistake or two in retrospect.
