Interesting fact: These are Core cards, but also craftable in Legacy. Maybe even obtainable via Wild packs.
Why is this interesting? Mostly because it means they are available in Twist too! But only if you craft them. Which may not be worth the investment.
That said, I did it! And Night Elf Huntress cleared some taunts and sent three face to give me lethal just moments ago! And as we all know, one instance of being good means it’s OP and needs a nerf!
Yikes. Thank Yogg this is mega slow and let's hope people won't find ways to abuse it. Druid should focus on the new Spell archetype or the well established Dragon package and just forget this.
Probably the strongest of the wind up cards because Paladin is already good at flooding the board. Sometimes you won't even have to trade this and it will still be good.
I'd argue it's even better than Psychic Scream cause it will clogg the opponent's hand if they open the box. Strong card, wouldn't be surprised if this became meta.
One more callback card that doesn't use the correct keyword. I don't like that. Other than that, the card looks okay. Finding a target with exactly 4 Health might be difficult sometimes, but at least the Mini should be very doable.
Not too spectacular but I'm a sucker for "fair" Mech decks. I hope Standard will put something together here that can hold its own. This specific card is a nice alternative target for Boom Wrench if you can't find your Testing Dummy.
Can we please stop printing Windfury applicators? Shroomscavate is already outrageous, why do we need this on top of it?? Obviously strong card with the right set up, I still don't like it.
Cost reduction should never be overlooked, even if it comes with a 3 Mana neutral common and a deathrattle. At 2 Mana it would probably see tons of play, in its current form I'm not so sure.
One more example where the Mini is better than the original card. If the legendary Pirate ever takes flight it will be thanks to this one's Mana cheat. I'm not sold yet, but there are definitely going to be ways found to abuse this.
An okay tutor card but nothing to write home about. I love the Mustache effect though, that's some of the goofy nonsense I love about this game. If I remember correctly, there's also an achievement tied to it (Kill your opponent with a minion with a mustache)!
I do like the flavor, the art and the animation, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. The card looks like it will only find a home in fun oriented decks while I was hoping to get an actually useful card for free again.
One of the best cards of the set all around, no matter if you look at the flavor, the power level or the versatility of the card while also making great use of the new keyword. I expect this to find a place in almost every Paladin deck.
Another nice support card for Spell Druid. It's not spectacular, but it brings versatility and the Mini can bring more Spell Damage to the table for the killing turn. I really like it.
New Paladin Minion - Tigress Plushy
Doesn't need an evaluation, we already know how powerful this effect is
It's like they saw a decent stabilizer and buffed it specifically for Paladin.
Not cool, Blizz
New Neutral Minion - Splendiferous Whizbang
Although the smile on his face is Hide the Pain, Harold
This is a automatic Gold craft for f2p like myself.
Cannot wait to see all the whimsical decks this lets me toy with!
New Warlock Minion - Game Master Nemsy
Voidcaller 2.0
I don't see why you wouldn't run this in Cubelock
Also tutors repeatedly for Demonlock, me gusta!
New Paladin Minion - Trinket Artist
Extremely strong card, even for Wild standards. I will add this to my Holy Wrath Reno Paladin and probably several other decks. 5 stars!

New Warlock Spell - Crane Game
It feels way too expensive to see any play and I don't know a method to reduce its cost reliably. Probably just a pack filler.
New Druid Minion - Jade Display
Yikes. Thank Yogg this is mega slow and let's hope people won't find ways to abuse it. Druid should focus on the new Spell archetype or the well established Dragon package and just forget this.
New Warlock Minion - Sketch Artist
Easy target for Shadow Bomb.
But at least you get the "draw".
Suicide bomber I guess, sketchy AF.
New Paladin Minion - Wind-Up Enforcer
Probably the strongest of the wind up cards because Paladin is already good at flooding the board. Sometimes you won't even have to trade this and it will still be good.
New Death Knight Minion - Shambling Zombietank
2 mana 3/2 taunt has never felt good for tempo
And you're paying a large premium to double that?
No thanks, only worth if handbuffed AND corpse'd
New Priest Spell - Repackage
I'd argue it's even better than Psychic Scream cause it will clogg the opponent's hand if they open the box. Strong card, wouldn't be surprised if this became meta.
New Neutral Minion - Nostalgic Gnome
One more callback card that doesn't use the correct keyword. I don't like that. Other than that, the card looks okay. Finding a target with exactly 4 Health might be difficult sometimes, but at least the Mini should be very doable.
New Neutral Minion - Messmaker
Feels kind of jank this doesn't work full board like Spirit Lash.
We are given this uplifting ghoul, and it doesn't even benefit cleric combos.
Even unstable ghoul had dual-function.
New Warrior Minion - Fireworker
Not too spectacular but I'm a sucker for "fair" Mech decks. I hope Standard will put something together here that can hold its own. This specific card is a nice alternative target for Boom Wrench if you can't find your Testing Dummy.
New Priest Spell - Purifying Power
Considering Druid had the same card with one extra health for twice the mana,
I'd say this is easily gonna slot for silence priest.
The question now is which people are still running minion heavy priest.
New Shaman Minion - Sand Art Elemental
Can we please stop printing Windfury applicators? Shroomscavate is already outrageous, why do we need this on top of it?? Obviously strong card with the right set up, I still don't like it.
New Neutral Minion - Clearance Promoter
Cost reduction should never be overlooked, even if it comes with a 3 Mana neutral common and a deathrattle. At 2 Mana it would probably see tons of play, in its current form I'm not so sure.
New Death Knight Spell - Silk Stitching
2 mana...and you already need a body on board,
for a random target...under 5 mana?
This feels like a dud in most instances.
New Rogue Minion - Sandbox Scoundrel
One more example where the Mini is better than the original card. If the legendary Pirate ever takes flight it will be thanks to this one's Mana cheat. I'm not sold yet, but there are definitely going to be ways found to abuse this.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Blind Box
No longer are the days of 1 mana, gain 1 random
Or 2 mana discover 1...Now, we witness the pay 2 discover 2 while running on fumes.
Cannot see this ever being bad outside hyper aggro OR combo.
New Neutral Minion - Caricature Artist
An okay tutor card but nothing to write home about. I love the Mustache effect though, that's some of the goofy nonsense I love about this game. If I remember correctly, there's also an achievement tied to it (Kill your opponent with a minion with a mustache)!
New Neutral Minion - Colifero the Artist
I do like the flavor, the art and the animation, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. The card looks like it will only find a home in fun oriented decks while I was hoping to get an actually useful card for free again.
New Paladin Minion - Toy Captain Tarim
One of the best cards of the set all around, no matter if you look at the flavor, the power level or the versatility of the card while also making great use of the new keyword. I expect this to find a place in almost every Paladin deck.
New Hunter Minion - Toyrannosaurus
Not a good answer to Dr. Boom.
Proof that Doctor 7 remains the best tempo play for aggro decks.
I guess you can run 2 of these, but the boom bots are great mitigaters.
New Druid Minion - Chia Drake
Another nice support card for Spell Druid. It's not spectacular, but it brings versatility and the Mini can bring more Spell Damage to the table for the killing turn. I really like it.
