Will be really fun to play it in Wild. As observed in posts above, Standard doesn't have plenty spells now but in Wild... oh boy, it does have a chance to be cool addition for some ramping decks if they will be able to spare a slot or cut Vargoth package.
Value squished into one card is overwhelming but what makes me puzzled is the fact that those minions need to die before the card is played and what video has shown us - multiple 10 mana minions dead, is not something that happens in standard games anymore. Priest gets some stalling/healing tools though, we'll see if that changes.
Reading above made me second guess the meaning of the text - do we believe it makes player draw for every injured minion left or does it trigger once for any number of them?
One of my favorite cards coming this exp. Strong 1 drop is something that mage needed for a long time. Minion/Big Spell or whatever mage deck not being this abomination of a deck that is played nowadays.
Sure, later on it's good, but in the moment it's 2 mana do nothing. Warlock can do better things with 2 mana.
This.
Although I do feel that this is kind of the card to play later in the game to get some - at least kind of - fatigue value. Anyway, meme decks that use Elise or Renounce effects will enjoy it, it's always +3 additional random cards (paying 1 to get 4)
The good aspect of this is fact that it works with board itself so if we already have an Egg there, it will instantly gain value. To be honest this with combination of new legendaries for lock might bring some sort of zoo back. Not really happy about it but everything will be better to play against than questline.
This card makes me very excited for big spell mage. Similar in effect to Juicy Psychmelon but this is just better value. Also like the Spice Bread Baker synergies that were mentioned above. I've detested Quest mage and haven't played the class in a long time. This spell makes me super excited to play mage again
A combo finisher for control warrior? In magic Xmas land? Seems like it. I think the card is good, but we're going to try making it work and find out warrior doesn't have the mass draw to support this.
Well it's a 6 mana taunt demon, which makes me think control. And only really nice control fel spells are Demonic Assault and The Dark Portal which isn't bad. We'd have to wait till blizzard print a higher cost fel spell for this to get better value.
This card cannot be underestimated as down the line, Blizzard will print a crazy fel spell and we'll get some kind of fel OTK warlock... well I can only dream...
Great 1 drop + value though, so will definitely see play.
This spell doesn't fit into any existing archetypes so it all depends on if the fel synergies work out for warlock this expansion. Maybe zoolock could use this with Grave Defiler and eventually get a board full of 3/3s
So you want to play this in a zoo/egg deck where you want to kill a 1/1 and get a 4/4. Kinda reminiscent of Disciplinarian Gandling but you can still setup your board before end of turn to sacrifice a weak minion. I wouldn't play this on turn 3 though, you'd loose too much tempo, unless you had an egg on turn 2
Good removal tool for freeze shaman and additional stall if you get the honorable kill. We know from Darkbomb that 2 mana deal 3 is ok by itself, so the honorable kill effect is just frozen icing on the cake 😁
Wow, this card is really great stall for freeze shaman, and if the archetype takes off, this will be your savior against aggro and a wide board. The fact that it freezes your own minions won't be a problem, just make sure you attack with your minions first before playing this guy😉

New Neutral Minion - Bunker Sergeant
I do like the idea here but it might not be the cycle that will allow this card to shine. We might tech it some day.
New Priest Hero - Xyrella, the Devout

New Mage Spell - Arcane Brilliance
I like them keeping the wow-ish feeling closely this time. I still remember neededing reagents to cast this one in raids.
New Mage Minion - Shivering Sorceress

Power in Trinkets - A Full Guide to Healbuff Priest on the Wildest of Days
I've tried a Standard version similar to this, with Sethekk Veilweaver and Nazmani Bloodweaver beside Drek'Thar in a Miracle shell with Rally!. Really fun, would recommend!
New Warlock Spell - Desecrated Graveyard

New Priest Minion - Undying Disciple
Could be good. I know it'll be annoying to play against. A taunt with 3 attack aoe built in? Goodnight board swarming decks.

New Warlock Spell - Desecrated Graveyard
Too many steps involved to make this work.
New Mage Minion - Shivering Sorceress
I hate it. More mage mana cheat.
New Warlock Spell - Seeds of Destruction
I like these kind of cards, they're fun. But after playing around a lot with shuffle/bear rogue they're not very reliable.
New Mage Minion - Shivering Sorceress
Pretty great turn 1 play for big spell mage. But any mage can use this minion really... well, except quest/no minion mage.
New Warlock Minion - Grave Defiler
Yup. Fel warlock. Someday.
New Warlock Minion - Felwalker
I'm not feeling the fel warlock stuff. There's an idea, "play fel spells," and that's about it.
New Warrior Spell - To the Front!
A combo finisher for control warrior? In magic Xmas land? Seems like it. I think the card is good, but we're going to try making it work and find out warrior doesn't have the mass draw to support this.
New Warrior Spell - To the Front!
This kinda reminds me of all the crazy duels treasures. This card will certainly create a crazy OTK warrior with Mr. Smite and Captain Galvangar
