Like Dark Alley Pact, it's potentially large stats early. That can be good, but there are many ways to deal with that, or to recover from it. I guess we'll see.
Warlock does have Backfire, Free Admission, Raise Dead and of course the hero power, so it is not that hard to get a full hand. The main problem is that the pay-off isn't particularly good because of the 6 health and lack of keywords.
I found a use for Serena once: as a decoy in the "Battle of the Bans" Tavern Brawl. I guess people didn't trust it and banned it out of an abundance of caution, while I just put it in there because I needed a backup minion.
It says a lot though that the card was most useful when it didn't see play.
One general synergy worth noting, any tradeable card synergizes with any card-draw-related effects. You can draw a card for one mana, which might let you trigger a "cast on draw" spell, trigger an "on drawing a card" effect, etc.
While this would be better than Truesilver on curve if it had 4 attack, in the late game I think it would be a significant drawback that it cannot go face, both because it cannot be used as a finisher and because you might not be able to use it to heal at all if the opponent either has no minions or only high attack minions.
This seems pretty bad, unlike Priest, Warlock can’t generate a full hand out of nowhere and suddenly play this guy. I feel like he should have had lifesteal or something else like rush to swing the board back after the Warlock spends their life and mana to fill their hand while doing nothing on the board
Can't wait to pull that out of my first pack as one of my few legendaries... He and Serena Bloodfeather can hold hands while they gather dust on my collection.
I think this helps to put handlock in a playable space. It won't be for every deck and situation, but I think it does enable some really big stat turns around 3-5 (depending on who has the coin).
I think this will see some play. I don't believe it will go in every warlock deck, but it will have its place and will fill that role well. I think with the just announced legendary and with some demon synergy this could turn out to be very good.
This is a quite dissapointing card, but still decent i guess? Honestly i dont see how this is a legendary effect, considering Bladed Lady is similar and has rush. Not only that but Mountain Giant and Flesh Giant do it's job WAY better, and those are no legendaries.
I kinda feel like it was supposed to be 6/8 with taunt. If that was the case then Anetheron would be a lot better.
The only deck i see this played it is this handlock deck they are trying to push, and in wild it fits well in EVEN-lock.
Still kinda dissapointing that Anetheron is so bad considering he is so important to [Hearthstone Card (Kurtras Ashfallen) Not Found]s lore/story. This common "legendary" is such a dissapointment... I feel bad for whoever unpacks this. That being sad i'm not 100% sure it's going to be my first legendary, cuz i'm unlucky most of the time. :P
Funny meme card, i like it. Fits well in the *ultra memey* ogre deck in wild. Maybe discounts Boulderfist Ogre to 5 mana, which is "absolutely broken" with Boulderfist Ogres good stats for it's cost. And it has a 50% chance of nerfing Boulderfist Ogre to 7 mana, making it "obviously Balanced". After all those amazing stats for the cost are way to OP at 6 mana.
Really strong card alongside Infiltrator Lilian. Maybe Infiltrator Lilian + Counterfeit Blade becomes a good core for aggresive rogue decks? But it could also use some support, which it probably will get this set.
Counterfeit Blade has a lot of potential, and i think it will see plenty of play.
New Druid Minion - Park Panther
This should at least be decent. Probably only getting the +3 attack once though.
New Shaman Spell - Tiny Toys
Not sure there are that many 5 mana minions that would still be good with 2/2 stats. Something with a good deathrattle, maybe.
New Druid Spell - Best in Shell
Tradeable makes this much nicer. If you get it in your opening hand, you don't have a dead card for 6 turns. Good defensive stats, too.

Good with Felosophy
New Shaman Spell - Overdraft
I'm guessing overloading a lot in one turn is going to become a lot more popular because of this card.

Nice! Anyone know if trading a card away acts as a combo activator? Seen as you're already spending 1 mana I'd assume it does.

Do you know what Warlock's hero power does?
Tradeable
Yes, Bliz has confirmed this. The sequence is:
1. The tradeable card is set aside (freeing a space in your hand if you'd had 10 cards)
2. You draw the top card on your deck (e.g. if you used a peek-at-next-card feature to see what it was), so, not the card you just traded
3. The tradeable card is shuffled into your deck, randomizing the deck order

New Ogre Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by DawN - Two-Faced Investor
Overpriced card synergy...one day.
New Warlock Spell - Dark Alley Pact
Hmm handlock card. Seems like a worse Abyssal Summoner, as the summoned fiend probably doesn't have taunt.
Yeh i dont think this card will be that good, even with its Tamsin Roame synergy.
