As I said in Iceblood Tower, Big Spell Mage is looking like a Big Timmy Trap. That said, this is in particular is less of a trap, but the deck in general doesn't bode well for Dawngrasp's playability.
A lot of streamers do videos like these towards the end of an expansion which is pretty cool. Kinda like a retrospective of why we voted certain cards so highly. I think in this case it's obvious everyone is excited about the hero cards, so they get the spotlight even if they end up seeing little play.
You're a Paladin, you play buffs, it's your whole thing, like Warlocks being mean and Mage playing spells. I'd be more shocked if he doesn't find a home.
Ah thanks for the explanation. Glad the battlecry triggers first before Najak's deathrattle so you keep the mind controlled minion. Good interaction to know
Maybe a followup Celestial Ink Set into one of the now 5 and 0 Cost spells might be the swing turn that actually makes Big Spell Mage work, but I'm not too hopeful overall.
A better combo potential than Grommash was, due to the lower cost. Control Warrior just might have an end state to work towards beyond hoping that their opponent dies to fatigue.

New Mage Spell - Build a Snowman
Really needs the spell discounts that Mage has, because 3/3, 6/6, and 9/9 for their respective costs seems very mediocre.
Fractured in Alterac Valley

New Paladin Hero - Lightforged Cariel
Yeah this is looking pretty meta-warping. Not quite in every Paladin deck, but it's going to feel like it.
New Paladin Minion - Saidan the Scarlet

New Paladin Minion - Brasswing
Better Baron Geddon for Big Paladin.
New Priest Minion - Najak Hexxen
In Deathrattle decks, this becomes just a dud on revivals. Otherwise? A 4 mana Mind Control sounds pretty annoying to deal with.
Priests Call on Life and Death(rattle) in Fractured in Alterac Valley - Hearthstone Card Review & Theorycraft Deck
Ah thanks for the explanation. Glad the battlecry triggers first before Najak's deathrattle so you keep the mind controlled minion. Good interaction to know
New Priest Spell - Shadow Word: Devour
Going to be mean in a Bless deck, turning all minions into fuel for a surprise lethal.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Field of Strife
Actually looks better during the Theory crafting stream, especially with all the 1/1 Illidaris that Demon Hunter has.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Warden of Chains
Solid play on 5 if you didn't get the new Sigil in hand in time.
New Mage Spell - Iceblood Tower
After the theory crafting stream, Big Spell Mage looks like a Big Timmy trap.
New Mage Minion - Balinda Stonehearth
Maybe a followup Celestial Ink Set into one of the now 5 and 0 Cost spells might be the swing turn that actually makes Big Spell Mage work, but I'm not too hopeful overall.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Caria Felsoul
Not really convinced that a 6/6 copy of one of your demons other than Pit Commander is worth that much. But hey, Pit Commander is a card!
New Neutral Minion - Lokholar, the Ice Lord
An alright card in control, and pretty scary to leave up.
New Hunter Spell - Spring the Trap
Now THIS is the secret support I've come to expect. Alright without the Honorable Kill, but with it is bonkers.
New Warlock Minion - Sacrificial Summoner
They really want you to play Eggs in Warlock, don't they.
New Warrior Spell - Frozen Buckler
Just an Alright card. Not great, but you're running it to make Shield Slam and Shield Shatter that much more consistent.
New Neutral Minion - Knight-Captain
Good in Arena? Can't really see a deck wanting to run this elsewhere.
New Neutral Minion - Popsicooler
We might laugh now, but Frozen Xyrella priest is going to take over the meta!
New Neutral Minion - Frozen Mammoth
We might laugh now, but Flaming Mammoth Mage will take over the meta!
/s
New Neutral Minion - Grimtotem Bounty Hunter
Rend Blackhand is UGLY SOBBING in the corner. Finally, a tech card that can tech against him.
New Warrior Minion - Captain Galvangar
A better combo potential than Grommash was, due to the lower cost. Control Warrior just might have an end state to work towards beyond hoping that their opponent dies to fatigue.
New Shaman Hero - Bru'kan of the Elements
Solid, and worth it just to swap out of your mediocre basic hero power.
New Shaman Minion - Bearon Gla'shear
Looking very strong after the reveals of Sleetbreaker and Windchill.
