It's probably fine. That's their unofficial stance. I'm not sure you are understanding this.

Their terms of service still strictly prohibits the use of any third party applications that read data in a game, or interact with the game. Deck trackers do violate official, legal terms of service.

Their unofficial stance is that it is okay. But the company did not state this. A high-up employee said it was okay. I believe an official statement in a follow-up was that their terms of service have not changed, and the company officially would not back up the employee's statement (I think the employee was a lead designer for the Hearthstone team).

To reiterate again: Officially, Blizzard as a company has not said "go ahead and use X Y or Z, it's okay". The use of the software still violates ToS. The unofficial stance basically guarantees you that Blizzard won't go after you, since they've softly said that they won't go after it... but, to be very clear, they haven't made their position on the software official.

The reason I don't want to use it is because:
1) I don't know what the source code looks like. I don't know what data is being read on my computer aside from the game.
and
2) If Blizzard's stance does change for whatever reason - even if they give a grace period - I just don't want to deal with any false-positives, or problems.
