This costs 1 less mana so it's arguably better than Fused Firebrand in nondragon decks. 

Should be great in limited I think

Looking at the latest vs meta report 3/10 top decks can be considered 'control' (at top 1k legend). Hand warlock, fel demon hunter and quest shaman.

'control meta' indeed...

I originally thought for 4 mana this spell would at least give both buffs but it doesn't even do that.

Given the cost and the very mediocre spell I would't run this ever unless your region combination only allows for this one. 

Continuing the trend of Bandle City having infinite value, their unit buffs get returned back to their hand when the buffed unit dies, gets captured, etc. Yuumi in particular looks incredibly obnoxious: She's cheap, she's strong, and from what I can tell it's literally impossible to get rid of her for good.

Fixed a bug where Spirit of Air's Deathrattle would sometimes apply to enemy minions.

Alright, a few questions:

1). How often did this occur? (Follow up question, did this happen to any of you?)

2). How the fuck did this happen?

I personally would rework completely Tess and Scabbs' buddies. They are fun but feel so weak (unless you get a good buddy like Millificient's).

I hope in the next miniset this control meta will finally end!

About 3/4 what I meet on ladder is Control Warrior, Control Priest, Control Druid or other infinitive heal and removal decks. x_X

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, perhaps trying to summon changes, but there were no constructed balance changes this week.

Maybe. Maybe not

With the new Attach cards and the confirmation that its effect works the turn you play it, I think Gleaming Lantern is going to skyrocket as the top must-nerf card in the new expansion. You just play this card in swarm decks like Bandle City Mayor. It has 3/3 statline which makes it hard to kill compared to Mayor as well. Idk card just seems ridiculous, I hope I'm the one that's wrong but I can't just see it NOT being good.

Both of its effects are worse than those of cards we already have: Prismatic Barrier gives Barrier for less mana, Spirit's Refuge gives Barrier AND Lifesteal for the same mana, and Bastion's buff lasts longer and grants permanent stat buffs. In this card's favor is its versatility: It can give Barrier OR Spellshield, whichever one you need. And we've seen the value of versatility: It's why Three Sisters is the single most played card from Freljord, and Twin Disciplines is the most played card from Ionia.

This card's versatility is helpful, but it's not as good as Twin Disciplines or even Three Sisters. Three Sisters gives you three options, this one only gives you two and both are purely defensive. It's an alright card, maybe it sees play or maybe not, it's a meta call. Verdict: 3/5

Yeah and when you think about it, it's also like the Libram of Wisdom and gives pretty much infinite value.

wow slow speed grant and ally +2+2 and double attack? That's combined with any good overwhelm unit (like Ruin Runner) got to be nuts.

Sure you open yourself up to get removed but the potential of this buff is huge + its reusable.

I can't see this not making into at least some (maybe not all meme) decks

Fated decks may want this, but no other decks will. Verdict: 3/5

I think these cards are really strong. They work with handbuff and Gleaming Lantern reduces their cost. They're also not counterable since they're more like a Focus-speed card that passes priority. That means that no matter what you get the buff on the unit which is a pretty good tradeoff for not being able to use spell mana.

Also, Silence and Transforms doesn't affect Attach.

Similar to Fae Bladetwirler, only this costs more mana and has less health. On the plus side, this unit is actually a Fae (unlike Bladetwirler), so he can get a mana discount from Gleaming Lantern. Verdict: 1/5

So we got Yuumi together with the LoR version of magnetics?

Did you riot have to attach (no pun intended) my favourite mechanic from Hearthstone to league's most obnoxious champion?

Reminds me of Fused Firebrand, except slightly worse. It's not terrible, but it would take a niche metagame for this to see play. 2/5

I always liked a good Yuumi Rumble botlane when Yuumi was released. Let's see if LoR Yuumi Rumble can catch up.

Quick attack is a defensive buff for attacking units; it saves the attacker from losing health to a weaker defender. I'm not sure that the likes of Pantheon or Wounded Whiteflame need this defensive buff; I can't even remember the last time I saw either of them dying to damage after having been buffed. Verdict: 2/5

Stat-wise, this is pretty underwhelming compared to Saga Seeker and Wounded Whiteflame, but we know that Fated units don't want for stats for very long. Its upside is drawing you cards on a Nexus strike. The thing about Fated units is: Your opponent often just lets them strike their Nexus rather than sacrifice one of their units, especially in the early turns of the game, and if this guy draws you even a single card from his ability, then he's doing great. If you give him Elusive or Overwhelm, he can become a huge value engine for a Pantheon Fated deck.

My biggest concern is this unit's region. Pantheon Fated decks have so far been a Targon + Demacia affair, and I'm not sure what Fated strategies would look like for a Targon + Bandle deck. Verdict: 4/5

I agree with the feedback that Unchained Soultaker was indeed too weak and far too situational, so I made some new, completely different cards.
