We're back! There was a bit of a hiatus after the Priest reveal, but card reveals have resumed today. We're not entirely sure what we're getting beyond the fact that RegisKilbin is revealing the Death Knight and Demon Hunter Colossals, and it's possible that the same video will contain some other cards too. What was that I just said about Colossals? Oh yeah...
Colossals are back! When you summon a Colossal minion, it'll split up into multiple different appendages that have their own effects, and created one GIANT threat on the board.
Herald and Shatter are also two new keywords in Cataclysm. Herald cards build up the strength of your Colossal, by summoning a Soldier with the same ability as the appendages. Shatter cards split into two cards when they're added to your hand, going to the left and right-most spots in your hand, and merge back into one card when they're adjacent in your hand.
We've got all of the information about the set right here, and don't forget that as the first set of the year, there will also be a new Core set. You can found out about the new Core set right here, and there's also the ongoing Rally the Dragonflights event that you can sign up for to give every player some new cards.
We've got a collection of cards below for today.
Cataclysm Card Reveals for February 17
Here are all of the cards that have been revealed for Across the Timeways on February 17.
Additionally, one new Druid card was accidentally leaked during the reveal video. The card natively costs Mana, but it costs Health here instead because of Arisen Onyxia.

Comments
Arisen Onyxia - Im not exactly sure why Oxynia is so robotic given that resurrecting dragons isnt even new in the lore, but here we are. As for the card itself, it is incredibly powerful, but at such a high cost you can only imagine that it'll see play assuming the meta extends to turn 15 or something like that.
The fact that you can realistically play deathwing before this card probably mean it'll only be in the deck solely because of the herald synergies, and not much else. You'll never build around this with cards that are only good when this card is played.
Chromatic Broodmother - A card that shouldve been printed in the last miniset because its clearly the payoff from DK imbue, which at present is quite shite. This card makes it slightly less shite, though honestly the rune requirements sticks its ugly head out yet again. Seriously the unholy-frost rune requirement probably does more to ensure this card would never see play.
Aszhara, Ocean Lord - I like it only because its a finisher, and is presently the only colossal revealed so far that makes deathwing less of a requirement because in essence its an aggro card. Dont expect this card to do more than basically 8 damage + to face.
Felwood Treant - Probably an indication that mana refresh is gonna be a thing for druid because this card is shit otherwise. Ramping by 1 on turn 6? Yea, youd probably better just dig your own grave then.
That's straight out of World of Warcraft. Onyxia was brought back to life by Nefarian with a combination of necromancy and mad science. It's not as pronounced, but she has mechanical parts in Blackwing Descent. Nefarian has always been doing genetic experiments, but Cataclysm dialed up the Frankenstein reference way harder.
It won't let me edit my comment for some reason, but to Felwood Treant - it's a FULL mana crystal. That means it's a 1-mana 2/2 with Treant synergies if you can play a 2-drop with it. That has some applications with Splintered Reality given how strong that card is.
For felwood treant, the point I was making is that the card is clearly printed with refresh in mind because quite clearly the permanent ramp wouldnt be relevant otherwise. Giving yourself 1 mana crystal - in effect paying 1 mana for a 2/2 - is hardly worth talking about in todays hearthstone.
I wouldnt hold my breath over the treant synergies. Team5 have proven in recent history that planning is just something other people do.
I also think you're misreading Felwood Treant slightly. You don't have to spend all the mana on the same turn, just while you're holding it. If you curve a two into a three, it'll be available to ramp you on turn 4. That's not that far off of what New Heights is currently doing. Given that Druid no longer has any other ramp options in Standard AFIAK, that might be worth.
Yeah, I had a relook at the card since its actual official release and youre right, its cumulative over multiple turns.
I personally think this spend mana while holding thing is still gimmicky at best though, but we'll see what happens after release.
