    ehhhh...  in a class that benefits from Nature spells more than a Frost spells, this is mediocre at best.  Unless we can start seeing more playable Frost spells, this is a waste of a Legendary 

  • Blizzard Reveals 3 New Druid Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley

    Remember Knight of the Wild? A deck with BEEEES!!! and other early beast summons will get 2 free 4/5 taunts and 2 free 6/6s.

  • New Hunter Minion - Ram Tamer

    3 for a 5/4 Stealth is pretty strong.  Given that it requires you to play more Secrets, as long as we see other playable Secrets this is definitely a great card especially with Rinling's Rifle poking around

  • New Hunter Spell - Revive Pet

    3 mana for a Resurrect effect in Hunter is REALLY strong.  Given that you get to discover one instead of randomly getting one makes it really appealable.  What we need to see though, are more good Deathrattle Beasts to make this more of a threat

    The token also makes a solid case for the title.

  • New Hunter Minion - Wing Commander Ichman

    I really really want to like this card.  But there are so many things working against it. 

    1) 9 mana in a class where Aggro is dominating is a REALLY hard sell
    2) It is only grabbing Beasts, which means, Darkmoon Tonk is out
    3) It's statline is mediocre at best

    If they buffed this minion to change any of the 3 areas to be more beneficial and helpful to a non-Aggro Hunter build, this would have potential

    Separately or together, these are pretty weak in Standard. A 4/5 Taunt is not a great payoff, even if it comes down before turn 4 (which it won't).

  • New Druid Minion - Dire Frostwolf

    Arena fodder.  4 for a 4/4 in druid that will give you something much less beneficial on the backend when it dies is not exactly efficient with Druid's play style

  • New Druid Spell - Frostwolf Kennels

    Arena: Very middle of the road. Most of the time one of the other two picks will be stronger, but this isn't undraftable. Far from it.

    Constructed: Not as strong as Dire Frostwolf, but as it's part of the same package, they either all see play or none of them.

  • New Druid Spell - Frostwolf Kennels

    So far, this is my least favorite of the residual effect cards.  It's a good minion generator for Aggro Druid, but there are already so many other options it would be hard to justify having 2/2 stealth minions vs having rush or taunt minions with the current meta.  Druid seems to make better benefit of the latter

  • New Druid Minion - Frostsaber Matriarch

    I think that alone this card is amazing.  I am confused though as they are a few cost reducing cards for Druid, but have been given and still maintain a lot of ramping abilities.  The strategies seem counterintuitive

    Give them time!

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Flag Runner

    You either need to be running a bunch of those Illidari summons spells, or a metric ton of crap weenies to make this any good.  I can tell they are trying to make the Darkshire Councilman, but not make it breaking and it feels like it fell short

  • Solving The Meta Again - Landmark Nasus

    The best decks right now pivot from early game to end game effectively without being to dependent on individual game plans.

    Lurk can be agressive but it has big overwhelmers.

    Jayce acts like a spell control deck but has insane late game swings.

    Bandle tree plays a bunch of agressive dudes and then otk's you out of nowhere.

    Following that trend is my new landmark aggro - syke slay control deck.

    Plays very scary big dudes in the midrange lots of 5/3 and 5/4 and 3/4 3/3 type of stat lines.

    But all of that is a ruse for you to trade your cycle creatures into them and spend spells to finish them off.

    Now rampaging baccai is active he kills heimer for free, we have rite of arcane to kill him, and minimorph if things get out of hand. After all that plays out then - then we play a big Nasus good luck out valuing that every game.

    And honestly sometimes you just win with the landmark stuff, it happens you burn em down with zigs, or your instant 3 body play for 4 mana can be too much for some decks to deal with.

    Baccai sandspinner is a tech choice I value it slightly higher than gifts for Renekton ;) if you aren't just playing it for the Sivir value.

    ...any priest cards eh?

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Warden of Chains

    4 for a 3/8 taunt at most... meh

  • New Druid Minion - Dire Frostwolf

    Arena: Another solid card. Piloted Shredder is on the weaker side these days but still playable. Dire Frostwolf is like a modern age version of that card. Significantly better, but not broken or anything.

    Constructed: Looks like this is part of a package. Are we finally getting to see (Midrange) Beast Druid? Could be.
