Not bad but ultimately redundant. TO effectively use it you need to combo it with Prep, which hasn't been in style for a while now. Also, Rogue really doesn't need any more draw at this point, certainly not Arcane Intellect+
Is it just me or is this yet another completely broken weapon for Paladin?
Decent tempo the turn you play it. On turn 3, 2 attack should be enough to kill a minion, or finish one off. It helps you create and maintain a healthy board over the following two turns... then gives Divine Shield to ALL of your minions... what the hell?
Still not going to see play since you insisted on removing Frost Nova and Blizzard. Frost Mage has no win condition and the earliest you can combo this with something is at 6-mana.
Strong yet completely useless because Big Demon Hunter still doesn't have a functioning shell that allows it to actually play the game until they can cheat out big Demons.
That being said, if you can actually get this out in time it can absolutely shut down a variety of decks (Rogue would probably just fold if this hits the field on 6.
Pretty strong, essentially a better version of Spirit Bomb, but as of now there is no real payoff for self-harm and Warlock isn't exactly struggling when it comes to removal.
They made all these control cards for hunter...and none of them are even remotely playable. You can't do slower hunter because the class has no sustain, and hitting things with your face is only going to make that worse. I want these cards to be impactful but none of them will be at all.
I wouldn't put it into my deck, but it does give Pack Kodo better options.
Also works well with Ace Hunter Kreen, who is severely underrated.
The problem remains that Midrange Hunter is still just an inferior version of Face Hunter and this set hasn't really helped with that. I guess I'll wait for the next expansion.

On a serious note, having a useful 1-mana Elemental next to the Kindling guy is really good for Elemental Shaman, even if you're rarely going to buff this beyond a 2/3 in most circumstances.
Competes with Swordeater and Gan'arg in Rush Warrior and is likely not going to outclass them. Just generally I have trouble seeing this being played as long as those two are still in Standard, but I guess it gets a chance next year.
That patch turned out way bigger than I expect. Also 3 new Books in one Month (including the BoH Malfurion for June 22)? I feel like this has something to do with the upcoming fire-festival, Duels Update and Mercenarie release.
Man, there are still so many big things to expect in the next 2 Months. Maybe they pushed out the Books now so that they won't go under the radar when they have this potential flood of new content.
New Neutral Minion - Meeting Stone
Better than caravans since it guarantees you at least one adventurer. We'll need to see how good those guys are.
New Rogue Spell - Shroud of Concealment
Not bad but ultimately redundant. TO effectively use it you need to combo it with Prep, which hasn't been in style for a while now. Also, Rogue really doesn't need any more draw at this point, certainly not Arcane Intellect+
New Demon Hunter Minion - Taintheart Tormenter
Big Demon Hunter got a new toy. Does this make the archetype playable? Unlikely, but it's a start.

New Mage Spell - Shattering Blast
You know the classic Shatter
You know the daring sequel Snap Freeze
Now get ready for Shatter 3: This time it's AoE.
Still not going to see play since you insisted on removing Frost Nova and Blizzard. Frost Mage has no win condition and the earliest you can combo this with something is at 6-mana.
Hard pass, but at least it makes Runed Orb worse
New Warlock Minion - Stealer of Souls
I MAY HAVE 1 HEALTH AT THE END OF THAT TURN, BUT GOD DAMN IF I DON’T USE THIS WITH PLOT TWIST
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Summoning
Actually not bad.
Now buff Sigil of Flame so it doesn't nuke your own board and we might have something to work with in slow Demon Hunter.

Happy 2nd Birthday Out of Cards
Realistically with how insane this week has been and a Hearthstone mini-set dropping tomorrow, birthday stuff will need to start next week.
New Hunter Weapon - Venomstrike Bow
I wouldn't put it into my deck, but it does give Pack Kodo better options.
Also works well with Ace Hunter Kreen, who is severely underrated.

Paladin Nerfs are Coming for First Day of School and Hand of A'dal!
Honestly, I would be perfectly fine if they just rotated it out prematurely.

I hope Tinyfin Beach is among the returning card backs. That's the one I'm most sad about missing.

Elemental Wyrm, pog.

But the devs did say last time they on purpose ignored conviciton so diubt will be nerfed until atleats next expansion.
