Control Shaman really lacked efficient healing before so this is absolutely fantastic there (and a great target off Dungeoneer). And thanks to the Corrupt OTK they also have an endgame plan now (even though I think Mutanus fucks that deck way too hard to be playable)
So I was sort of iffy on the Quest before, but this is exceptionally good with stuff like Pounce, not to mention the snowballing potential. Maybe midrange Druid will not be hopeless after all.
Love the flavour, question the usefulness. Druid already draws a lot and uncontrollable draw is...dangerous. It would certainly help in decks using Anacondra because you can effectively give yourself a failsafe in case your board gest wiped and you need more fuel.
Looks underwhelming at first, but aggro decks might just want to run this as the top end of their curve. This can represent a lot of burst damage including a solid body. It's either that or this is too much of a win more card and thus, won't see any play. At the very least, this card will result in many surprise lethals in Arena.
Doesn't specify minions, so....better not be at lower health than your minions.
I do wonder how it targets though. if the first blast kills the target, will the second one seek out a new one? I would hope so, but who knows with the janky stuff in this game.
I genuinely can't tell if this is good or not. A 1 for 1 isn't that great usually, but cost reduction of any kind can be a game changer in many situations, but the inherent randomness makes it whacky.
I guess it helps Big Demon DH a lot because the discount will almost always be relevant.
To me, this is one of the most surprising things this entire set because paladin NEVER gets damage dealing spells. Unless I have missed something, this is their first one since the Classic set. It's weird that they add this just after replacing Classic with Core to (largely) sort out that quirk of class design.
Anyway, weirdness aside, it's clearly a good card, even before accounting for tradeable.
That Rogue set, especially the Legendaries and the SI:7 synergies, might not end up being super powerful, but goddamn flavourwise that is one of my favourite class sets they've ever produced.

New Paladin Minion - Catacomb Guard
Now there's some fat Handbuff payoff. This looks pretty insane if that deck does come together. Aggro will not have fun against it.

Finally!
New Neutral Minion - Royal Librarian
Spellbreaker but better in every single way.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Irebound Brute
It's not gonna happen, stop making it happen.
But you know...since it'll always cost at least 6-mana...it has good stats for the cost.
New Hunter Spell - Defend the Dwarven District
Seems like a decent card. Might be too slow for face hunter. But maybe it is not a big problem.
New Druid Minion - Wickerclaw

Honestly, that Ramen card back has been tempting me for over a day now. I think its Ramen-o-clock tonight!
New Druid Minion - Vibrant Squirrel
Not bad stats wise, but are 2/1s actually going to help you in any relevant way at random stages in the game?
New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel Barrage

control warrior/warlock loving this development. even druid will probably want 1.

New Rogue Minion - Maestra of the Masquerade
I have a feeling this would've been revealed in the final stream to surprise you. That would've been awesome.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Felgorger
Seems a tad slow considering the current pool of Fel spells isn't all that great.
New Priest Minion - Twilight Deceptor
Pretty sick with Raise Dead
New Mage Minion - Clumsy Courier
I mean yeah you could play this for fun with Pyroblast but i guess the most effective this will be is with Flamestrike or maybe Mask of C'thun.
New Priest Minion - Psyfiend
I see Duels is coming to Standard.

I was excited for the first Dranaei hero but then was like “Oh wait… Xyrella exists.”
Still! Pretty freaking cool!
