oh god I hate this not because its a sorta decent card but because ur'zuls are basically fel abominations theyre made of souls and corpses and fused together which makes sense that it gets cheaper as minions die

Its a giant that can be reduced to 0 fairly quickly with stuff like Expendable Performers.

Not quite Corridor Creeper, but very close to it, and in my opinion just about as broken. We'll have to see how consistent this can be dropped down, because its not altogether impossible to have this by turn 5, or completely reduced to 0 after a skull draw.

Just insane with Expendable Performers. Looks like team5 is pushing token dhunter quite hard this time round. Let's hope for a few early game token generation to really take advantage of all the cards we've seen so far.

Looking at what we have right now, its not altogether impossible to have this reduced to 5 by turn 5 in a standard deathrattle dhunter, with the Razorboar into Razorfen Beastmaster, into Renowned Performer, along with even a mere Devouring Ectoplasm added in the mix.

Might also somewhat work well with Warden of Chains, if you time your minions right.

Damn My DH duel deck will change a lot this expac

This could be an on-curve follow-up to Nerubian Egg.

There is also synergy with Dreaded Mount, as Tamsin's Dreadsteed is 4 mana.

Tamsin's Phylactery is another new card with deathrattle synergy, but we probably need a few more for it to become a viable deck.

Well Tamsin did turn on other 4 in her Book of Mercenaries...

The only downside is that you dont get to choose your hp each turn. Otherwise its nearly faultless. At least whatever you get will always be value for 2 mana.

WIll be in every shaman deck until rotation, because this can clear, heal and crucially, hit face for 6.

Imagine this with Brilliant Macaw. Yikes.

Its certainly flexible and strong enough to basically exist in all shaman decks, courtesy of its ability to clear, heal or fireball face on play.

I just cant see much downside to just having this in the deck. The only existing problem is the same with Dr Boom, where you have no control over your hero power each turn, but unlike Dr Boom with its myriad of a thousand rushing mechs, if your whiff on your hp on a crucial turn you might just be screwed because shaman's clears and heals are fairly finite.

Still, this is one card that requires no setup or combo to be good, so there needs be a very good reason for not having this in your deck. Also its incredibly busted with Brilliant Macaw the following turn, assuming it works as I think it would.

Very sick artwork too Id have to say. That pretty much rounds up the near perfect card.

I love this card. As someone who loved playing Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Bru'kan of the Elements is gonna be so fun to play!

Those elemental invocations look incredibly overpowered for 2 mana too, especially the Fireball to the face. But all in all this is a great control tool, and the fact that you could choose two invocations for the battlecry could make for some swing turns. The only downside is the 8-mana cost, but hopefully the meta slows down for this to see play. 

And that card art looks sick.

The cards that have been revealed are really all over the place. They are each interesting in their own way and they all look really solid, but they provide support for decks that don't exist yet. 

So this isnt about who's your favorite cheese in the mercs game mode. But rather whos your favorite merc outta the characters we've met this year? Personally my favorite is Varden they're pretty neat and I like their dynamic with the rest of the group of what we saw em do in mercs. Bru'kan the funny chicken troll is definitely second though.

Wow, it's like reading a YuGiOh card.

Seems too much for 8 mana, but all of the options as a hero power are really good. I think the flexibility of this card sells it. Hopefully, we get enough good control card for this to see play because I love me some control shaman.

Thanks for 2 great reads today sule!  I had to go team Stormpike but my Maxima Blastenheimer dreams have so far been nightmares.  That Hunter deck looks right up my alley though!  May Yogg be with you always.

So Bru'kan is nuking tamsin in fire invo so does that mean its horde V ally and also Tamsin is there to kill?

Hero powers seem OP for 2 mana

Very powerful card

RIP Kalimos though, liked that card but it will never see play again :(

Wow that's a strong hero card. I wanna use it in Reno Shaman in wild!

I admire the design, but unfortunately its likely not going to see much play because Heavy Plate is just better in most cases, if not at least more flexible than this card. This one needs to stop at least 10 damage or you're basically paying 1 more mana for an Iron Hide.

But if theres more cards that combo with armor, this might just take precedence over heavy plate since its ultimately 1 less mana and that can count for a lot. At least if it does nothing youre still up by 5 armor so theres that.

Similar to Bring It On!. I don't think that card saw too much play, and I don't think this one will either.  It will need synergy with frost spells, 2-cost spells,  or dare I say Spell Warrior!... none of which exist as of this reveal.

Well in WoW you're either a giant soda can or in a bikini so in Alterac yer gonna be cold enough to have at least like 3 frost cards.

It faces stiff competition from Heavy Plate, which though costing 1 more has the all important tradeable value, which this card unfortunately does not have. Meaning, if youre not looking at reducing at least 10 damage from your opponent the next turn you're really just paying 1 more mana for what's basically Iron Hide

But for whats it worth it does gain 10 armor for 2 mana so it'll combo well with Shield Slam, Reckless Flurry, and all those other cards that scales power with armor like Heavy Metal! or Geosculptor Yip at a fairly cheap price.

I like this design to be honest. Its stall that allows your opponent to move, but at the same time denies significant damage to face. Even if it ended up doing nothing more than gaining 5 armor, its still 5 armor which isn't the end of the world.

They're serious about frost warrior huh
