Thoughts on adding Emotes to BG’s?

I feel like they’ll get turned into another toxic mechanic- hopefully you won’t be able to spam them and they aren’t overtly bad either

You earn additional emotes when you reach the GC, everyone will start with some and they can be used in the Victory Track.
Thanks for the clarification
Alright, fair enough.
Long as we can mute them and they can't be abused like the forced "pleasant speech" in games like Overwatch.
These emotes are a faster and “on time” way to communicate with the opponent.
They sound fun to me 😛
Another top game has them, and you’ll commonly see people spam “Good Game” and laugh emote over and over. Or when you make a mistake, they spam “Well Played”. Or when they know they have a stronger deck, they spam “Good Luck” followed by laughing. Or after they win, they spam the cry emote.
I hope this mute feature shows the opponent that emotes are muted (and even further that if one opponent has them muted; neither can use them). Because if it is just a one sided mute; people still attempt to use them in an unsavory way and develop a habit of doing so. This just breeds a growing toxic player base.
Get ready for daily debates and threads about emote usage. It will be the same arguments over and over. The “it’s rude and unsportsmanlike” crowd versus the “trash talking is strategy” crowd. And the “remove emotes” versus the “you can just mute them” crowd. It will forever divide the community; like it has in other games. One such game literally closed down their forum because this was the majority of the discussion.
