Update: It looks like we only "officially" got 4 card reveals today. Bit of a bummer =( (Source)
We're showcasing all the Forged in the Barrens mini-set card reveals for today, May 28, in this article.
Initially, cards will be listed in their order of appearance as it looks like we'll be getting a trickle of them.
New Barrens Mini-Set Cards

These have been translated from a Russian video. Not sure if they were meant to be seen today. As such, they do not appear in our database.

In wild sure, but with the amount of frost spell in standard, I don't think you want to put this one just to get the extra minions.
The extra 1/1 is really just a bonus that will almost never be relevant unless you're specifically facing poison rogue. It does tutor a spell from the deck, and I'm not completely dismissing the possibility that its simply used to draw key spells like Wildfire.
3 mana 4/5 in stats that draws one card with the upside of potentially freezing two enemies. I think this does more than "annoy the opponent" when it comes to early-game tempo.
So, no one gonna talk the fact that 7 mana summon 5 2/2 with random is better than The Forest's Aid?
I mean 8 mana summons 10/10 is good, but they gone and make the power level even crazier. what's next. 6 mana spell summon 7 2/2?
7 mana 14/14
DH has one
I know right. That's why I make it a bit further. 6 mana 14/14. or maybe 5 mana. Hearthstone. Geez.
Terrible comparasion. Druid has a lot of wide board buffs and therefore can't have mass token cards pushed too hard. Paladin, on the other hand, doesn't have a lot of wide board buffs and can therefore have better mass token cards.
I've been playing Menagerie Paladin, and while I'm near-certain subbing Mutanus would make the deck worse, it would still work decently because the deck runs Animated Broomstick. I think any deck that runs brooms can safely run Mutanus for fun and still win some games.
Primal Dungeoneer is easily the best of the three. It's exactly what Shaman needs (draw!), but no idea if it'll be enough. I think they're still one good draw mechanic away from being competitive given the draw-strength in other classes.
Snakes and Pilgrims? Lady Anacondra into Germination? Into Solar Eclipse/Germination/Arbor Up? I don't see it working. Lightning Bloom is wildly more flexible, basically the same effect for for 0. Looking forward to a MarkMcKz OTK with it though.
The random pilgrims in the video have taunt, rush, bubble, lifesteal and poison. There may be more options possible.
One for each class, representing a key aspect of them. Paladin dude has divine shield, demon hunter dude has charge for example.
I feel like these cards have great value but aren't very exciting.
The druid cards are just too expensive to run in any deck that isn't ramp.
Go, Mutanus! Haha, I ate your Alexstraza, what are you going to do now?
Umm, I’m just going to play my double Conviction and kill you, so... better luck next game I guess?
I wonder if every class will get a Dungeoneer or only the ones with specific Spell Schools.
The three we’ve seen so far correspond to mercenary characters in the Horde. So it’s possible that we’ll get five Dungeoneers for them this time and the other five Dungeoneers next time.
But I’m pretty sure that there will be one for all ten classes eventually.
I'll mention it here since they finally showed up on reddit. Hearthstone's Russian account posted a video with some new cards.

We're waiting on official translations since they shouldn't be too far away. At least that's what I said before lol.
Translations are up in the article now since apparently nothing of value has been happening over the past 2 hours. Blizzard =(
The problem with Mutanus is it doesn't do anything for Murloc Shaman. And it's a Murloc. Damn.
This might be a little push for N’Zoth decks though
I just need that murloc now
It looks like “Dungeoneers” will be a sub-theme of this mini-set. That’s a change - the previous mini-sets introduced no new theme. Instead, their thing was to mix up themes from all three sets of the year. Since this is our first time getting a mini-set after set #1, I guess that wouldn’t have worked. I like this decision.
