Sure looks like Team 5 is trying to make freeze Shaman a thing. Remains to be seen if it will be this expansion, or sometime in the future. Maybe even the mini-set.
Really interested by the word "another" in the card text. Does this mean that each of the three spells must have a different name? Or if I have two fireballs in my deck, can it cast Fireball 1 in the first round and Fireball 2 in the second?
I assume the minion keeps whatever stats it has as it switches players, so if it dies the other player won't get it back. I'm guessing it won't work out that well, but taking control of some threat and trading it away could be nice.
Although this doesn’t have a spell school, I think that all spells it casts will count as you casting it, so could potentially ruin your Hero Card Varden, which is a shame as it could be fun to run both. Would be happy to be wrong thoug
My Chinese skills are non-existent so I can't event attempt to find out if they say anything about that, but one would imagine that there are some restrictions in place. If you're truly interested, you should first try to ask the good old western Blizzard about it, and they could in turn contact local authorities (in lack of a better word) if needed.
Even though that conditions are not the easiest to meet on this one, I really hope that it will have its niche. It has been some time since we have seen big dragon being played for something more than face damage.
Not really, unless you're referring to wild. The current big priest specifically targets deathrattles that have accumulated throughout the game. And priests don't generally use amulet until very late game. This is a great "board clear" and will certainly help in matchups against big priest. But it's not that game changing. It can be used re-actively to prevent the priest from gaining a ton of life/armor as it currently stands. But it's not really a pro-active play to "disrupt the pool" simply because once it becomes poly'd it is no longer a deathrattle minion. So back in the Saviors of Uldum (and before) times, a single transform effect could ruin the pool of rez because rezzing targeted all minions. Now the revive aspect currently only focuses on deathrattle minions to revive. So in order to "ruin" the priest's pool, you'd have to transform the minion from one deathrattle into another deathratte. Which means technically speaking from a strict "countered" standpoint, arcane missiles has more of a chance of doing that than mass poly. All mass poly does is just make it slightly easier to counter the big amulet of the undying turns
Another Big minion for Paladin, it's essentially Primordial Drake without the Taunt the first turn you play it (even though it doesn't hit your minions and does hit the enemy's face), then a better Baron Geddon from then on out until your opponent removes it. I don't know how viable Big Paladin will be, but this could be good enough to find spots in other Midrange Paladin decks (Redscale Dragontamer is still in Standard...) if those ever become a thing. Very strong card.
An OK board clear mostly to be used against specific strategies (Big Paladin, Big Demon Hunter, Anacondra/Celestial Druid) that overwhelm the board with lots of large bodies. 7 mana is too expensive to be of use against aggressive decks, so I don't think this is an all-weather card that can be slotted in regardless of meta. It's certainly a fun card, though.
Nice idea, great flavor. Nothing to criticize here.

Inspiring Ballad is too close to Invigorating Sermon for my taste. Piper is a solid card but not the most creative.

I like it. You should add the Power Chords to your description box when you submit it.

I really like Thunderbass, it's my favorite card so far. Great art, cool name and the flavor is on point. Well done! I would give you 5 stars as the card is but one minor change you could consider is giving it Rush instead of Windfury to guarantee a draw (just from a powerlevel point of view though; Windfury is far better flavorwise imho).
Imagine going to be after writing an article and feeling good about it, only to wake up and see it become quite irrelevant due to the latest reveals: that has to be a reeeally bad feeling, huh?
How quickly an article can become slightly dated :) I have to commend the Team 5 guys on the mercenaries story though, I kinda love the characters' progression to these Hero Cards, and Tamsin in particular has been a favorite for me since her first card was revealed. And even though I know some of these cards are going to end up over the top and I will come to hate whatever meta they generate (haha), it certainly is making for a fun reveal season. So many cards giving me that initial "Holy shit" reaction, and allowing me to hope for some longer, back and forth type games that I've always enjoyed. Can't wait :)

New Paladin Minion - Brasswing
8 mana is the biggest downside to this card.
It needs a specific deck but really good against decks that want to go wide. Moreso if this can be cheated early.
The heal also makes this a pseudo taunt against aggressive decks.

It'll never hit 4 damage (without help from other cards) - it will go 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. Gains 2 each time.

Carriel weapon can still be destroyed by Oozes and Vipers, as well as can be stolen by a certain Pirate.
The card just says it does not lose durability not that it cannot be destroyed
