8 for an 8/8 punch to a minion that gives you a 5/5 wall.. what isn't to like?

Ok, after seeing what you get with the Immovable Object and that ridiculous hero power... this seems like a powerhouse.  at 7 mana, you're paying for it.  But a Consecration, with 5 armor, a weapon that HAS to be destroyed or it's a continual 2 damage to whatever, AND only taking half damage... This isn't necessarily OP, but damn... this is a good long game card

Shadow word: Chaos
Should not even exist
Fuck priests

No such card exists....you talking about shadow word ruin?   

Its a duel card

I want to know what the immovable object is and how it will impact before I say this is good or not.  Granted, having a Consecration combined with a 2/5 weapon, AND 5 armor is a decent gig... 

Another really efficient Arcane spell for Questline Mage.

All around decent.  The qualm will be that you continually have to hit things that are getting bigger and bigger to get a lot of use out of it.  But even if it only makes it to 3 on the attack, that is still efficient.

This makes me wonder about it's use in Standard.  But in Wild this will be amazing.  Spell Hunter, Even Hunter, Face Hunter.  In a class that has always struggled with good and efficient card draw, this is giving you 3 pseudo draws.  It's hard to not like this card

Is that early game enough to fend off decks like Pirate Warrior or Taunt Druid?

Yeah, I immediately thought of Arena...

So far half of the Mercenaries' voice actors have been confirmed by Matt London. The rest (Kurtrus, Tavish, Xyrella, Scabbs and Bru'kan) are currently TBA.

Here are the Twitter accounts for the confirmed VAs:

This is literally so overpowered for Arena like wth. If games last more than 5 turns it could even see play in standard, that’s how insane it is

This was obviously meant as a humorous thread

The joke

Your heads. : )-     Also why is my face always already dead???

Oh I thought jokes were supposed to be funny.

My bad!

Arena: Opponents will quickly learn not to play a 3/2 on turn 2 against a hunter, but in later turns I wonder if it's still worth it to play around Bloodseeker. The effect is good, but not detrimental. So, definitely draftable, but not amazing.

Constructed: Nothing to see here.

It would only draw three cards if I am understanding it correctly.

For sure! Here's the list I'm currently running: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/31084-amulet-nzoth-priest. I've seen mostly Shadow Amulet Priest builds on ladder, but I feel like the extra healing from Holy cards/your hero power is more valuable than a proactive hero power. Still tinkering a lot, but this build has felt like a low tier-2 deck--I've been yo-yoing between Diamond 4 and 2 with a winrate that's just a tick higher than 50%. The main issues (as with all slow decks) are Quest Mage and Questlock... you win those two "fun" and "interactive" matchups so rarely that it's actually probably worth conceding as soon as you see them play the quest, but pretty much everything else is winnable. (I did find out the hard way that this deck loses to Mozaki Mage. -_-)

[Hearthstone Card (Vandar Stormpike) Not Found] makes this a 5 mana 8/8 with rush that leaves at least one 5/5 taunt. That's quite good, actually.

Arena: Only draftable if your deck already includes some secrets, but even then it's far from guaranteed that you draw Dun Baldar Bunker before you draw your secrets.

Standard: 2 mana tutor 3 is great. On top of that, all secrets will cost one less as well. The only downside is that the draw comes with a major delay. My bet is that it's still worth it to include Dun Baldar Bunker as long as secrets are viable.

Wild: In Wild this has to compete with Subject 9, which is better in the card draw department, and Cloaked Huntress, which is better in the discount department. Maybe you run Dun Baldar Bunker alongside these two, but I don't think you want to play it instead of these two.

Its not a bad card, but its too...normal, I guess would be the correct term.

There's plenty of good 8 mana cards that would go past this anytime, like Turalyon, the Tenured, Tirion Fordring, Varian, King of Stormwind, Goliath, Sneed's Masterpiece, or even just Yrel, assuming you can trigger her battlecry.

It might find a place in big paladin but in nearly everywhere else, I just think its outclassed. Its an 8 mana card after all, so to be even considered for inclusion you'd have to be really special. And if tirion is having a hard time fitting, what makes this any better?

Agreed. When I first saw Drek'Thar, I immediately thought of Grim Necromancer, which is right on the edge of playability (it seems to me like it almost always pops up in early versions of board-flooding decks before getting cut in more refined lists). Given that his stats and (usually) the stats of the minions he summons are quite a bit more threatening than a 2/4 and a couple 1/1s, I feel like he'll be a staple of faster minion-based strategies for quite a while.

Where ist the 2 p.m. CET reveal (half an hour ago, "by playhearthstone")?
