This is a really strong card. The Taunt is essential here and the buffs are very impactful. I have high hopes for Handbuff DK to take off and this will be a centerpiece of that deck.
The flavor is awesome but the power level is horrible. Anything with a Battlecry just ignores this and it's way too easy to remove. Won't see play imo.
If it only killed enemy minions it would have been cool, but like this it's a liability. Maaaaaaybe Mech Warrior could use it but that's a big stretch.
My first impression is that this is awfully slow, but maybe that's just me being used to Wild power levels. Of course anything that swarms the board will be welcome in Paladin, but I could also see DK using this as a corpse generator that slows down the game enough to reach their payoff cards. 3 stars for now.
I think Unicorn Overlord is kinda cool, also Mario vs Donkey Kong is full of nostalgia for me. But other than a few raids in scarlet and violet. I have not played that much myself.
Really excited for star wars battlefront classic collection though. Want to have those games on the go
Edit: I really hope you enjoy Skyward Sword HD @linkblade. It actually plays really well on the switch, either with motion controls or the sticks.
It is easier for the motion controls to get decalibrated but I did not feel like that was a real issue when playing. Really easy to recalibrate like in super mario galaxy (3D All Stars)
I don't think people will go hard on this, Gaslight Gatekeeper or not. A giant alone won't win you the game after all. It might find a spot as a support card in decks that want to draw a lot anyway, but I don't see it as a centerpiece anywhere as of now.
Super strong card. I'm not too much into Miracle Rogue bullshitery, but I'll defo slip this into my Wishing Well list if I should open it from a pack. Adorable artpiece as well!
Sadly, another card that encapsules too much RNG for me. Triggering the effect should be doable, but the payoff is just way too unreliable for my taste. For every awesome outcome you'll get 3 let downs.
I agree with the comment before mine. While the effect is solid, the cost is a bit too high to make me want to play this in a no minions list. It might be a nice target for Watercolor Artist in a regular list though.
New Death Knight Minion - Amateur Puppeteer

New Neutral Minion - Cosplay Contestant
The flavor is awesome but the power level is horrible. Anything with a Battlecry just ignores this and it's way too easy to remove. Won't see play imo.
New Death Knight Minion - Rambunctious Stuffy
I'm very much confused why you would want this to in the newest handbuff DK
Then i remember that they did this to keep if from an effective reload effect.
You either buff this as a midgame threat, or force early to control the board.
New Neutral Minion - Forgotten Animatronic
If it only killed enemy minions it would have been cool, but like this it's a liability. Maaaaaaybe Mech Warrior could use it but that's a big stretch.
New Neutral Minion - Giggling Toymaker

New Warrior Minion - Lab Patron
Disappointing call back card. The cost is off and it doesn't multiply like the old Patrons do. Weak card, not fun either. Meh.
New Hunter Minion - Painted Canvasaur
Super strong card, any board that sticks will be a menace now. I wouldn't be surprised to see this go to 3 or even 4 at some point.
New Death Knight Minion - Amateur Puppeteer
Looks like they are trying to move the handbuff synergy from BBB DK to BUU DK
This is obviously the right move in keeping the strong removal to Full Blood.
While the BUU DKs will have new pieces to compound the plague DK infestation.
New Druid Minion - Chia Drake
Cycle and/or removal buffs.
This looks to be the new win condition of druid in the new expansion.
Get to the spells you need, then burst your opponent down after exhausting their removal.
New Paladin Minion - Toy Captain Tarim
Another reason to fear leaving a 1/1 on a paladin's side of the board.
And now that same card is going to debuff your greatest threat to a wisp.
It's like paladin is best equipped to fail against other paladins xD
New Warrior Minion - Inventor Boom
Um...where's the boom?
I'm paying an extra mana, and no explosions?
Not even mech destruction or combustion?!?
New Neutral Minion - Colifero the Artist
The real reason we see these kind of cards as weak?
Low board presence.
But also, the cost is so high...I cannot imagine putting this is felwing DH, trent druid, or hound hunter.
New Neutral Minion - Corridor Sleeper
Way to slow, even on turn 1.
Won't see play outside hound hunter.
Don't see how people were getting mad at this point to p2w.
More mad this dilutes the Zombeast pool.
New Priest Spell - Scale Replica
Why wouldn't you put this in your deck?
A Flame Imp & 13/13 deathwing? Yes, please.
No way this won't solidify Dragon Priest in standard.
New Rogue Spell - Everything Must Go!
Keyword: random,
I don't see this finding a home even in burn rogue.
Most the time this will be a 5 mana summon 2 four's.
New Hunter Spell - R.C. Rampage
We already have a weapon that helps fill the board with hounds.
There's no way this card doesn't find the value it's looking for, sooner NOR later.
Easily 5 stars.
New Warrior Spell - Safety Goggles
I'm with Suchti on this one, pure armor cards have never been good w/o at least tradeable.
This will sit in your hand most times to make up for early damage that never comes.
New Mage Minion - Triplewick Trickster
Interesting that they chose the three wicks to represent arcane, frost, & fire despite flavor only.
I can't see this being bad unless going against enrage warrior.
And mage loves 2 damage pings *eye roll*
What Switch games has everyone been playing recently?
I think Unicorn Overlord is kinda cool, also Mario vs Donkey Kong is full of nostalgia for me. But other than a few raids in scarlet and violet. I have not played that much myself.

New Neutral Minion - Playhouse Giant
I don't think people will go hard on this, Gaslight Gatekeeper or not. A giant alone won't win you the game after all. It might find a spot as a support card in decks that want to draw a lot anyway, but I don't see it as a centerpiece anywhere as of now.
New Rogue Minion - Sonya Waterdancer
Super strong card. I'm not too much into Miracle Rogue bullshitery, but I'll defo slip this into my Wishing Well list if I should open it from a pack. Adorable artpiece as well!
New Hunter Minion - Hemet, Foam Marksman
Sadly, another card that encapsules too much RNG for me. Triggering the effect should be doable, but the payoff is just way too unreliable for my taste. For every awesome outcome you'll get 3 let downs.
New Hunter Weapon - Remote Control
Haven't seen swarm Hunter in quite some time and it's too early to say this is gonna tip the scales.
This will be annoying to deal with as it's like segmented Muster for Battle.
But, for that very reason, this card only makes good tempo as an early draw AND can be inhibited by taunts.
New Neutral Minion - Origami Crane
Another cool Origami card. Very useful Battlecry and don't ignore the Beast tag either. This might very well find a home in a lot of lists.
New Mage Spell - Frost Lich Cross-Stitch
I agree with the comment before mine. While the effect is solid, the cost is a bit too high to make me want to play this in a no minions list. It might be a nice target for Watercolor Artist in a regular list though.
