EVIL Conscripter - Kobold! There’s a place you can handle I said kobold! When you’re short in the candle Cast a spell with the E! V! I! L! -//-
And now some flavour texts, that I enjoyed:
Swampqueen Hagatha - Rafaam mainly enjoys working with Hagatha because she never laughs at Dr. Boom's jokes. Now that's just cruel. But this can be a hint, that Togwaggle and Lazul laugh at Boom's jokes.
Hagatha's Scheme - "All shall suffer!" "But Hagatha, those are your minions..." "I said ALL!!!" Speaking of cruelty. >:)
Jumbo Imp - Jumbo in size! Huge in E.V.I.L.!
Rafaam's Scheme - "When your first plan fails... imp-rovise."

Omega Devastator - The Alpha Devastator didn’t devastate enough. The Beta Devastator devastated too much. But the Omega was just right!

the forests aid thing is a reference to lemon aid.
Conscripter is YMCA
I was waiting for this!
is my personal favorite
My picks would be:
Hagatha's Scheme: "All shall suffer!" "But Hagatha, those are your minions..." "I said ALL!!!"
Exotic Mountseller: *Taps roof of mammoth* “You can fit so many squirrels in this thing!”
I read these all in game earlier as I was waiting for this. I love reading the flavor text!
Two that I loved most in this were Never Surrender! and Jumbo Imp. Imp mostly because of the call back to the play sound of Tiny Knight of Evil. (Speaking of TGT, I'm sad we didn't get any Inspire cards... Maybe next set.)
Rafaam is my favorite.
