Im two ways about this.

On one hand, played early this card will almost always hit once, which means its 2 mana deal 4 damage. But on the other, you lose one card which to an aggro deck can mean quite a lot, especially given how efficient removals are, and more reliant aggro is on longer games nowadays.

I personally don't like it. Not even in a class that can draw like dhunter. Hearthstone 2022 rarely ever allows you to put a bunch of useless cards in your deck like how old zoo used to work so this always end up dumping a good card, and a 4/4 played early isn't really going to matter too much, especially if your opponent is running Prince Renathal

Perhaps, if you generate enough shit in your hand, especially on 1, you can justify its inclusion. if Fire Fly were in standard for example you'd play this card because dumping a generated 1/2 for 4/4 stats on 2 is still an insane play. But otherwise Im not optimistic of this card's viability.

So the Suspicious Usher got a friend. Wonder if we'll see more suspicious cards with this mechanic, discover a weapon for Warrior for example.

Good. Simply good. All these "2-mana deal 3 to a minion plus a little upside" cards (Frostbolt, Quick Shot, Penance) were and are pretty viable. And Rogue really likes discounting cards.

Its just powercreep over 2 drops in terms of stats, because most of the time you'll be getting a vanilla stated minion plus a 1/1. If you're playing aggro then you probably just put these 2 cards in your deck and go from there.

There is a small chance of backfiring, but its still 2 tokens for 2 mana and I'd still rate it as good enough for most if not all aggro decks. Above that, however, you'd probably be better off playing a 2 drop you need rather than this.

Felstalker with one more health. And theoretically, the card isn't even lost. Which will probably not matter with the common length of games but chances are a class like Demon Hunter can draw the shuffled card again.

Because most of the top level decks tend to be more reliant on spells to end games, maintain tempo, or in some cases just rely on them completely for everything. That's why Cult Neophyte saw play throughout its lifetime in standard despite only bumping spells by 1.

Only in aggro matchups or minion centric combo decks can this really do damage. But Im not optimistic that we'll see much of this card.

On your example. If my opponent plays his bolner or macaw on this thing, then I'd be laughing. That's significantly better than seeing it repeat mutanus or snowfall guardian. Unless Im playing aggro, I'll just remove them with a spell and you're 2-3 cards short doing jack.

Some of the preview art of to be revealed cards hint at further treant support. I kind of like the archetype so maybe it'll be enough to make it viable. Card is okay but not broken. Can go face and combines two 1-mana effects in a 2-mana card. So probably too fair for modern hearthstone.

Reminiscent of cards like Mecharoo, Possessed Villager, Spawnpool Forager, or a smaller Kindly Grandmother. They all saw play and so will this.

The horse kicking back as the deathrattle has a nice flavor. But as the previous poster wrote: no taunt, no rush. so I doubt it'll see play. And I don't really like the artwork.

How is forensic duster bad?

Its legit a premium statted minion that also screws up your opponents curve. It can also disrupt oppponent combo plays, and this in shaman with bolner and macaw can potenially make your opponent skip the next turn

So, we've got the mandatory [Hearthstone Card (Silverback Patriach) Not Found] power creep card of the set.

Are wildseeds separate cards that you can build into a deck? Or is it strictly only summoned by the "Spirit Poacher" minion?

It's an okay disruptor to mess with your opponent's curve. Could see play as a tech card, though it could also be useful in delaying aggro or board-based opponents, buy yourself a turn or two. 

Really good card for Hunter. This will see a lot of play for any aggro or board-based Hunter deck. 

So interesting cards only;

Serrated Bone Spike - Basically its buffed Backstab. Because its very rare for rogue to use a removal option that doesn't actually end up removing a minion. However, because this can't hit face, it might only see fringe play, by decks like mine rogue.

Bibliomite - Likely its trash, but interesting trash. We're at a point of time where a 4/4 on 2 might not even be enough for the win. But I concede that its likely going to attack at least once before it dies, so the question is whether that is enough compensation to lose a card from hand. If dhunters are playing lots of draw/generation then it might not be as bad as I think it is

Famished Fool - Im not too sure. Basically decks that manages to infuse this by 5 would probably not want to play something with subpar stats, and this is  can never truly be used by control, on top of being a terrible top deck. But drawing 3 though, is still something.

Sketchy Stranger - Its perhaps too costly, but will see some play, simply because secrets, whatever anyone thinks, will still make players play inefficiently.

Forensic Duster - Too costly, and unlike Cult Neophyte this will only ever realistically disrupt aggro decks.

Muckborn Servant - One of the best pally cards revealed so far. Taunt, 4 health, and discover. Can one ask for more, for 3 mana?

Maze Guide - Basically this powercreeps all but the very best 2 drops.

Hunter's identity this time round seems to be "beasts, whatever" because so far its been all over the place. Let's hope there's something coming up that will tie all these loose ends together.

Would this have been too strong at 5 mana or something? Nobody wants a 7 mana card that does nothing except have a huge amount of stats.

It's a worse Convincing Infiltrator, but it could see play in some deathrattle decks. The lack of taunt or even rush is what makes this really iffy though, opponents can simply ignore it to delay that deathrattle effect. I think this will see very little play.
