New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame

When do they learn, that 0 costs cards are not healthy for the game? :(

Decent card with good synergy just low on attack but using this with Drain soul, Mortal Coil, or Siphon Soul will make it more viable. Hopefully they add some good shadow spells to support it.

This just looks insane for value. You don't even have to play the spells the same turn, you can just keep them around for even bigger combos

I think this could enable some OTK, but id depends on shadow spells.

At this moment, they are only focused on board state, not face damage

I'm pretty sure she's in the background of Imp Swarm (Rank 1) so I think she's a mercenary. 

Seems interesting and cool. Not sure its that strong but worst case it can give you some solid value.

Not sure which spell you are copying, but can enable interesting comboes...

Seems REALLY good from a value perspective. In addition to the ones shown today, we know that Warlock's Drain Soul, Siphon Soul, and Mortal Coil will all be Shadow spells. Getting a 0-mana Siphon Soul that you can also hold onto seems pretty nice.

We could see this nerf so that the cards cost 1 at least .Im very scared for otk warlock  ,but man warlock looking good after rotation and new core set and these new cards

Looks very good

I was drinking and this made me spit, 5/5, don't even know all the Shadow cards but I don't think I need to since just getting 1 or 2 extra spells should be enough for this to be good.

Looks very good - defenitely OTK Potential - depending on which kind of Shadow Spells we get. 

Interesting for some combos, but not sure if there's support for a "spell warlock"

the real combo potential starts when you have more than 1 copy of this minion

I mean they future proofed it by virtue of making it unable to copy 0-cost spells.

By upping that cost to (1) would mean you could infinitely cycle the same spell as long as this alive which would be absurd.

The only way this becomes unbalanced is if we get some crazy damage boost for Shadow Spell that Wild can abuse (if they even change the Wild spells for Spell schools)

Soulfire dies for this card and it was worth. Just need a few more good shadow spells and lock is looking good

I didn't realise it at the first look, good catch. I though it would go infinite, thinking about base cost.

Also, 0 cost is permanent, not just for one turn. It could make tempo swings later on.

Eek. Good value tool to keep more value in the hand. 

love it, i think this is going to be first day craft for me, unless rogue have great legendaries too

This + Doomed Apprentice + any Shadow spell.

This seems distinctly better than Electra Stormsurge. I know the spell has to be in the Shadow school, but I suspect a lot of Warlock cards will be. I definitely expect this to see play.

Wow, this basically double casts all your spells, except better because you get to choose the targets of the second cast. It's very strong when used properly, the only thing holding it back is the fact that you may not be able to get enough use out of it consistently. It's like Zentimo, powerful when used properly, it's just too difficult to use. I do think this will be better than Zentimo, but it won't be crazy.

now this is value

Why they push with cards 0 cost? They never learn

Design is really interesting. Tamsin Roame allows for us to spend spell based answers much more freely as we get them back. However, the opponent will know what answers we have and can bait them out afterwards. Which means this is a very powerful effect but somewhat interactable.

In direct comparision to the revealed shadow cards for warlock this seems to be okay? Shadow seems to be about sacrificing your own ressources in Warlock, making the 0 cost cards more expensive than they seem. But still prime nerf candiate, since you can stockpile the cheap spells, and probably enable (at least in wild) some disgusting combos.

Potentially broken. just kidding this shit is broken.

This is a very good card with a good effect for value.

Love the art love the card! Give me those shadow spells! Can't wait to see this in golden!

too early to evaluate - need to know the possible spells

0 mana spells generating without any rng is extremly good.

5/5 card.

Combo spells gonna get out of hand real quick, perhaps some Shadow spells have draw....

This is a great card, and it shows how important spell schools are in terms of design space.

If she copied just any old spell, Tamsin Roame would be severely broken. But being restricted to Shadow as she is, she's just strong, not overly dangerous. Why? Because -- as far as we know -- Shadow spells cannot hit face. As long as they avoid creating Shadow spells that will break the game at 0 mana, everything is fine. And since that's actually the whole point of spell schools in the first place, there's no real reason to be alarmed here.

Everything that summons Demons, for example, is going to be Fel, so there's no reason to worry about this card flooding the board.

KNOWN SHADOW SPELLS (excluding 0-Cost)

• Twisting Nether (kills Tamsin)
• Siphon Soul
• Drain Soul
• Mortal Coil
• Soul Rend
• Grimoire of Sacrifice

LIKELY CANDIDATES

• Soul Shear
• Hysteria
• School Spirits
• Deck of Chaos
• Hand of Gul'dan

Amazing legendary. Hope it'll see play.

I don't like these "you leave it alive 1 turn you lose the game" type of cards.

It's mana cheat, Warlock runs a lot of shadow spells, mana cheat good

This card is insane. Totaly broken and I hope that we will not see some OTK thank to Tamsin Roame. Let's wait the reveal of all Shadow spell and pray

Super dependent on what cards get the Shadow tag.

I guess there aren't any twinspell or echo-style spells that will synergise with this in wild?

they gona nerf her for sure

Who doesn't love free stuff? Cheap cost as well!

Pretty sweet card for some kind of control deck - even just getting a free Drain Soul would be pretty compelling, but combining this with Siphon Soul on turn 8 would be nuts - kill two enemies, heal six, and get a soft taunt on the board.

Anything that 0 will be abused

This card is insane amounts of value, basically its doubling your shadow spells effect, and you get to choose whether to play it.

But shadow spells in warlock are pretty much confined to a few good cards like Mortal Coil, Siphon Soul and Drain Soul, so there's that I guess. Wish it would give out random shadow spells instead, but guess it would be too good otherwise.

Just another case of an absolutely insane value card that's just a little iffy in the wrong class. Would have been crazy good in priest, but oh well.

Seems good to copy a big spell but weak body it wont copy that much

So much feels like it is hinging on the validity of the spell classification system.  This will either be an amazing card to include in nearly any deck, or it will be complete garbage and not worth the legendary dust you get from it.

Difficult to rate right now, but certainly looks promising

Lots of potential!

This will be broken week 1 no doubt (unless shadow spells suck)

This + Nerubian Unraveler means that the spell you cast and generate a copy of can go infinite. It seems fun, though probably will not end up being very competitive.

Want another Twisting Nether for when your opponent builds back their board? No? How about for the low cost of absolutely free? Except for the fact that ends free card generation from Tamsin.

Pretty good value, 4/5

Great value generation card 

WarRogue?

I'm almost always scared of 0-cost things! Sure, Shadow spells mostly have downsides (sacrifice health, cards, or minions), but still... she seems very powerful. 

Lots of cool and creative new effect this set - I'm stoked!

Strong card the demands instant removal for the value it brings. Good thing it can't go infinite.

So the obvious downside to this card is the bad stat line which can easily be removed. That said, you'd ideally want to play Tamsin at 10 mana then generate insane value by dumping all your shadow spells. Control warlock might be able to do this, and who knows, maybe there's an OTK combo out there just waiting to be found

i see great potential with this card hmm

Oh dear, not this

Depending on the actual Shadow spells available, it would go from 3-stars "That's Good" to 5-stars "BONKERS"

Could be broken, if the right set up is made.

OTK combos would be coming.

Seems strong alongside shadow spells like Drain Soul, Siphon Soul and Mortal Coil. Will certainly see play in Controllock/Tickatuslock at the very least. Maybe in zoo as well, if they print some strong shadow spells.

Looks very good at first sight, though I guess it might be too expensive

Finally some support for The Dark Portal

Very nice card

11/10

I'm going to have a hard time estimating this card until we know all shadow spells, but it looks good I think?

Great value and potential crazy combos ? I'm in.

Zoo, zooer, zooest!

Fun legend with a really neat effect. Could make for some very neat value plays and probably a fun control lock card. 

Zero mana cards are always good for the player using them. How much of a problem this ends up being will really depend on what spells are included in the pool for Shadow.

Control warlock can likely make great use of this, and zoo could probably abuse/use free copies of cheap spells as well.  Seems like a great card given the right shadow spells.  Cost reduction like this is almost always super useful.

Well that's a 5 stars card

This card is a insta-must kill when you play against it.

This card is just good. Generating free spells is great. Gonna see a lot of this card for sure.

Even now, we haven't saw all Shadow spells, it still a 5-star minion.

Soulfire is Shadow? Oh boy..

This could give some great value, you don't even need to chain up spells as one heavy spell could be enough. This + Siphon Soul or Twisting Nether is amazing value alone.

Man, this is gonna be fun to involve into many decks

Very good card. I am already fearing all those 0-cost cards.

Depends on the shadow Spells, but this will definitely be core in Control Warlocks

Shadow Warlock looks great with this. 

this has combos written all over it

I'm more impressed by her sister. This is certainly a good card, but I wonder how often you want to pay 3 extra mana to get some extra value out of your Shadow spells. I've got a feeling it's less often than most people seem to think.

good card

Not super impressed, seems redundant.

Not sure about Standard, but in Wild there must something that breaks this. Will be fun to see what works and what doesn't!

definitely interesting. not sure yet if good

Shadow spells are just the worst

Depending on what spells will be shadow spells, this may be really damn good...

Since we know that both Soul Shear and School Spirits will be shadow spells, Tamsin Roame seems like a great way for Control Warlocks to duplicate spells they really like to play for free (also with an initial three mana tax).

Everyone like 0-cost spells :) Quick nerf we will see.

Interesting, its a shame Altar of Fire is a fire spell

Seems like a lot of value.

Crazy good, and I haven't even looked to see what the shadow cards are 

Good value, enables combos - seems a nice solid card

The spells school we'll be added to wild spells for sure...

good

Could be nice to get additional value and removal tools in long games, or to stretch your AoE and removal against aggressive decks. I think she's a solid card with enough flexibility to be worth putting into a lot of different decks and supports a variety of play styles.

Looks way too good 

Looks strong, might work in control decks. Not that great for aggro decks though, I believe

Excellent for value matchups!

Lot of value

That's some value!  In general, I like any card that gives you more cards, especially if they're cards that you chose to put in your deck in the first place.  The fact that the copied spells cost (0) mana is icing on the cake.  Ultimately, I think whether or not it will see play depends on how many of Warlock's spells are shadow vs. how many are fel.

nuts. get ready for control warlock all day

Will be great in some future expansion for sure, not now tho.

After seeing which spells have the Shadow school, this actually doesn't seem half that bad. You have to do it one turn though, cause there is no way that's surviving.

Value card.  Cheap spells.  

high value card for control warlock 

Show me all the Shadow cards first, then I'll decide how much I hate this card. Seems like it has the potential for some ridiculous swings with the right synergies.

Amazing. 0 cost cards are never broken, am I right?
