MEMES! this will be so much fun to play! It also removes all spells and turns them into minions. The biggest highrolls of course will be getting collosal minions with this, which will be awesome. Also this might be decent in arena.
Either way i'm looking forward to playing this card!
This seems very strong. Basically it's a 6 mana 6/5 + 8/2 worth of rush + deals 4 dmg to a enemy (Which you can choose thanks to it being on weapon) AND you get a 2/1 weapon if you trade the rush minions well. This seems like a HUGE tempo swing. Crabatoa seems weak when you first look at it, but wow it's insane when you think about it.
Crabatoa will see play in almost every rogue deck in standard, and basically takes Jandice Barovs spot as the big stat bomb.
Crabatoa in wild will probably see almost no play, due to it not fitting into popular rogue decks that well. Maybe some might try to make space for it regardless.
turn 5 Azsharan Vessel + turn 6 Mr. Smite can do quite a bit of damage, especially if you somehow have a way to dredge it up the following turn. Also their really pushing Pirate Rogue, and we still haven't seen the new Captain Hooktusk card. (She is in the expansion trailer, so we know she has to be a card.) So i bet this might have some place in that deck. Also remember that IF Preparation is still in standard, it's a 3 mana "summon 2 3/3s with stealth", which is very good. Always remember that most rogue spells are balance with Preparation in mind.
Oh and the vessel is cast when drawn, which is a lot better. Basicly turns a dredge card into a "summon 2 3/3s with stealth, and draw a card". We haven't seen any rogue dredge cards yet, so who knows. Maybe rogue will get a super strong dredge card, just like druid with Aquatic Form.
Edit: Now that i think about it, Cannon Barrage would fit a lot with Azsharan Vessel I kinda hope it's in the core set.
This card is just bad. I want to call it a arena card, but i feel like you dont even want it in arena. Sure it has some stats, but the battlecry often wont go off.
wow this is an insane card, in every class but priest. Still it's a very strong 0 cost minion, and it's "mana cheat" that you need to work for. When i say "in every class but priest" dont get me wrong. It's still insane in priest, but at the same time priest is the one class that isn't that good at abusing it. Pretty much all other classes could abuse this way harder. But still this will see play in every priest deck untill it rotates, and even then it will still see play because of all the insane support it has in wild. (Sethekk Veilweavers, etc.)
Still it might need some more support in standard, but considering we got Priestess Valishj AND Serpent Wig i'm betting were going to see some kind of "when you play a spell, add a naga to your hand" card for priest. Priestess Valishj and Serpent Wig + nagas can lead to a lot of buffs, and "technically" Serpent Wig will cost 0 as long as you have nagas and Priestess Valishj in hand.
Still this card will only get better and better if priest gets ANY kind of mana cheat or generation, which priest is prone to get.
This card is there. That's about the best thing I can say about it. The fact is that it'll likely come out from a discover effect more often than actually be placed into the deck itself.
Yes, it clears both board and reload, but if your opponent lasted that long without killing off priest and then proceed to not play around this, he's just asking to lose. Because if Im really honest, this is just a more expensive Twisting Nether, that doesn't deal with deathrattles, unlike the superior Plague of Death, which is a one-off even in the old galakrond priest deck, about as greedy a deck as it can get.
The flik effect is nice and all, but I think we're missing the point that this is a 9 mana card, and how many games actually lasts that long? Even boar priest finishes their games faster than that.
Wow, even with the bad stat body, this card will be the draw engine for Priest. It can also be your only naga if you're playing a miracle type deck, but would pair well with Priestess Valishj
Ah yes, the bane of every 'fun meme deck': living long enough to become the villain! Even burgle rogue managed it in AV (though that was so stripped back on actual burgling that it barely counts).
WOW, that's nuts. Flik Skyshiv saw play in every rogue deck, and that only destroyed 1 minion + all copies wherever they are. This is ALL minions on the board + copies wherever they are. Oh aggro decks keep drawing cards and filling boards? How about i play Whirlpool and destroy their board AND crush their dreams of reloading? This is an insane boardclear, which i would have expected as a legendary card instead. This card will be a must-include for ANY slower priest deck untill it rotates.
Also considering all the Reno Jackson in core set teases we got prior to the expansion reveal, Reno decks might return. And Whirlpool is not good at all against reno decks. so that's a potential weakness of the card. Also it costs 9 mana, and it can delete minions in your own deck. But still if you live against any aggro deck Whirlpool will just instantly win you the game... unless it's Defend the Dwarven District hunter killing you turn 6.
Still i see this card getting played a LOT. Also in control priest mirriors it might be beneficial to cast this when you have minions on board, just so you can have the deathrattles and stuff in the Xyrella, the Devout pool, while your opponent probably wont.
In wild i'm not sure if it sees play. Plague of Death isn't seen that often AND 9 cost cards are very hard to play in wild... mainly considering your probably dead to Defend the Dwarven District hunter, Raid the Docks warrior or Burn shaman around turn 6. (if not earlier)
Well this is an interesting Nature spell for priest. Would've thought this would fit more with Druid flavor-wise but ofc, the 9 mana board clear is always expected for Priest.
I wouldn't want to play this when I have minions on my side of the board, so it's more like a catch-up board clear when your side has no minions.
2 mana draw 2 is good, but the restriction is that this spell can only be played in a naga deck, which we don't know if it'll be good yet. You'd ideally want to be playing a bunch of naga, not just 1 or 2, coz you want the consistency of drawing two cards
Nature spells for Priest? Multicaster confirmed :^)
Sounds decent, but I wonder how good it is in practice. Are there any decks right now that live and die by playing more than one copy of a single minion? Otherwise this is just an overpriced Nether
Pretty mediocre legendary, but it is value, so maybe a big spell mage might use this? Highly doubtful as it'd be way too slow. Maybe a small spell mage deck, lets say if Mana Cyclone was added to the core set, it might be good.

There has to be some upcoming synergy with Pirates on the board because otherwise the steatlh on these just seems random.

Outside of specific circumstances it's mainly just a 9-mana Twisting Nether. When's the last time you saw Nether?

New Warrior Spell - The Fires of Zin-Azshari
I feel this card could slot into a fatigue/control warrior, only playing it once you're low or outof.cards 😜
1 copy should be enough, coz it'll be a dead card in hand till you get to fatigue
Ok scratch that, grossly misread this card, so have a feeling it'll do nothing if you're out of cards
