I don't even particularly like playing as Warrior but man, this class seems to be without a clear direction once again. They already tried Rush Warrior during Madness at the Darkmoon Faire, and this feels like an even worse iteration of that. They even tried the multiple minion types with Ringmaster Whatley. Not sure what else to say, this feels lackluster.
I really hope Lightshow Mage works out, even if it's toxic as hell.
Rewind is a really nice spell. Letting you get a second copy of a high power spell of your choice. Also has Grand Magister Rommath implications.
Audio Splitter is a decent card. I’m not entirely sure what kind of big spell you’d be looking to copy with this right now. Honestly most decks would probably see this as a Ramkahen Wildtamer for spells. Does also have Grand Magister Rommath synergy.
Keyboard Soloist is okay. Honestly I’m not entirely sure what deck would want this. I think it being a soloist is a dealbreaker for most decks. Maybe if Lightshow takes off this makes the cut there?
Lightshow seems really fun. Maybe this is what makes Grand Magister Rommath viable in standard. I don’t think there’s quite enough support for it in standard right now, but maybe I’m surprised. Just cast 2 copies of this and the original and Grand Magister Rommath fires 11 2-damage beams at enemies
Volume Up - Another way to copy Lightshow. Honestly seems just really good in a vacuum anyways.
As an early game removal tool Lightshow looks terrible (and is very bad compared to Relic of Extinction). That Lightshow can hit face is a drawback early on when I probably want it to clear minions. Maybe it has late game value but it would need a lot of strong support. Silvermoon Arcanist doubles the damage and can be cast with 2 copies of Lightshow in one turn.
But any Lightshow deck needs consistent ways to create copies of it. You can with Rewind, Audio Splitter and Volume Up but it would mean limiting the number of spells in the deck.
Some decent mage and priest cards. Only one giving me BSM trauma is Audio Splitter
(Thank Yogg Rune of the Archmage is rotating)
Deepwater Evoker and Balinda Stonehearth are also leaving standard. Big Spell Mage will be gutted.
Yes, it will be gutted, good, good.
It will be back in 3 months via power creep.
Very good
Love Everlasting is a neat card for all sorts of priest decks. Will almost certainly find a home.
Shadow Chord: Distort is a really nice generic removal spell. I think the extra mana cost is worth the extra flexibility over Shadow Word: Pain.
Fight Over Me is basically Hysteria at home. The card generation is ok, nothing to write home about. I think it’s decent enough to make the cut.
These final priest cards are definitely supporting control, whereas up until now its mostly tempo plays. And really I think only Love Everlasting has potential whereas the others are simply redundant. Fight Over Me kills two minions, but bizarrely it might end up backfiring with two minions in hand that you'll never play or take advantage of. Shadow Chord: Distort is basically a slightly cheaper assassinate which sometimes dont do the job - or in other words too inconsistent to see play. I'd just pay one more mana to play Cannibalize instead.
Mage spells, and only two impresses me. Rewind can get you more stall or more burn, and Lightshow is just a build around, though I concede it might be redundant because Frozen Touch is proven to be consistent and not dependent on more discovers to do the job.
But we're not here to see any of these. In two hours, warrior card(s) reveal. Looking at how reddit went the past day I'd imagine the balance of the whole world is resting on that last legendary's shoulders.
Love Everlasting curves right into Shadow Essence. Oh man.
ooooh Love Everlasting would be sweet paired with Dragon Soul
