So if the tokens arrive even when not played from hand, does that include if a minion is transformed (via Arcane Missiles or similar) into a Colossal minion? 

I guess this question is really: do they appear immediately? 

Thank yogg that Libram of Wisdom rotates. Still, considering paladin often plays a lot of holy spell buff cards i bet it will see play. 

AMAZING card. This will be a must-include in any deck that uses a lot of "shuffle to the bottom of your deck" cards. And it's a good "My hand is bad, let me redraw my hand" card. Also in wild it's quite good alongside Lorekeeper Polkelt in case you want to draw your lowest cost cards. (And reshuffle the deck afterwards)

Actually you can use Sir Finley, Sea Guide ALMOST like a neutral Secret Passage. Hand bad? FISH for some better cards or a FINisher. And everyone knows that their best card are always on the bottom of their deck.

The Voraxx was the card that came to my mind as well, but this is two mana cheaper and has a better base statline which is a big difference. So no, this is not a worse Voraxx.

I'm trying to come up with something nice but I'm stuck on the fact it's more buff pally support, which feels like 80% of what the class gets these days so I really can't get excited about it. If you like that, then great, but it's not winning anyone over to the class that didn't already main it.

Being the parent of a small child, most of my HS gaming is on mobile. Already patched on desktop to check out some of the new Mercenaries stuff and have been refreshing the app store for an update. At least I can stop doing that...

Pretty cool with Kazakusan. Pretty sad with Kazakusan.

he dove down to the bottom to dredge

How good this card is depends on the holy spells we get later. But the stats and cost are serviceable for its purpose so if we get a good holy spell, chances are this will also see play.

This is just worse Voraxx, right? And Voraxx saw zero playin a meta where Buff Paladin was pushed as an archetype

so unless there's some bonkers holy spell in the set, it's a dead card

Fortunately, its play battlegrounds, not get top 4 in it. Otherwise I can kiss that skin goodbye, because there's no chance Im grinding up battlegrounds after not playing that for somewhere around 1.5 years.

Now you say

Maybe after a while the Blood Magic meta was all DH and Druid, but in its first hour I had some really fun games yesterday, like playing Darkest Hour on turn 1 and beating a Hunter with their own cards while playing Thief Priest myself.

I love it when they dress up the characters in WoW Tier gear! The Brann portrait is absolutely amazing

Hellor Voraxx, long time no see!

Could be fun paired with Lorekeeper Polkelt

I pissed my pants slightly when I saw the word Dredge. And then I remember that this is not MTG. Thank fuck for that.

I am SOOOOOOO glad that Librams won't be in Standard for this.  Granted it is a priority removal, since it just double up your buffs.  But still, the idea of dropping a reduced cost buff on it and then it hitting something else is not the best thing to see on the other side of the board,

If only! 

So, sharpening pitchfork can change the outcome?

I will now proceed to simp over Blademaster Okani.

This card is fucking awesome and might be my new favorite card ever. It's a cool lookin' fish samurai with admittedly mediocre stats for its cost, but the effect is love at first sight. It's a card that not only takes skill to play, but also to play against. You have to know the meta and the game state well enough to counter the correct card to put the opponent in an awkward spot. And playing around it requires knowing what your opponent is planning. They might go for spell to deny you from clearing the board, or they might go for minion to prevent you from playing a certain card. Most of the time it might be pretty obvious what the choice is, but there will be situations where it will leave you at least 8 seconds guessing what the choice might be.

On top of that, he's free AND he counters Mecha'thun. God just rail me already fish daddy.

I guess team5 played blood magic for the first time in years and found out "hey, this brawl of which doesn't last more than 1 turn is a bit unfun". And having tied one of the quests to actually playing tavern brawl, guess they pulled the plug on it and gave something thats more back-and-forth.

Paladin has quite a few buff cards that also draw in Wild. He could be a good draw engine there.

I'm mostly annoyed that they've locked content for a gamemode I play behind one I do not. That just feels bad.
