I was hoping the grimoires would become a theme in warlock, the way librams were for paladin. Regardless, this seems like a nice little board clear, especially in something like an egg-lock deck.
Planeswalker in reference is Liliana all done up in a hot for teacher/librarian look. It has an ability that might be the evergreen keyword... Mage... something... An affect that goes off everytime you cast an instant or sorcery. Her's is opponent loses 2 life, you gain 2.http://www.magicspoiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Professor-Onyx.jpg
Pretty decent value generator. Like a lot of these multi-level marketing spells, the level one effect of just so-so. But like fine wine, it just gets better with time.
The level 1 effect isn't amazing, but would help out in a pinch. Later on in the match this becomes really good, given that it can target minions or hit face. This actually makes me excited to play some rogue again.
It's nice to see them making use of board position again. Not too hard to play around, but still something to take into consideration when playing against demon hunter. Probably not worth playing most of the time without the outcast effect, but potentially another board control tool (because DH really needs more of those).
Did I miss some announcement? What's with all the new C'thun like effects being added to priest cards? The fact that it only hits minions is kind of nice, since you can calculate the board clear more easily that way. I think we will need to wait to see if spell priest is strong enough yet.
Why craft an epic when a rare will do? This clearly competes with Self-Sharpening Sword for a weapon slot and a three mana slot. If not for the new rogue legendary, I'm not sure how much play this would see, but even just throwing a single Deadly Poison on this makes it pretty good.
@Arkasaur: I like the second version much more. The first version ran into the problem of not doing enough on the for such a requirement unless it is Skull of Gul'dan level of busted.
@ChickyChick: Your Black Lotus is so busted with the new Rogue Legendary since it can discount up to 6 mana for a card. The second card is just really confusing. The Fungal Alchemist is my favorite.
@anchorm4n: I don't know why you don't make the card from Warlock. It has the deck destroying and Mana Crystal destroying mechanic. I think it also need to target destroy because it is 6 mana and a Legendary.
Does anyone know if there's a way to see if you're current Duels run is Casual or Heroic? I started a run a long time ago, I believe shortly before set rotation as a test to see if that would give a free pack. So that would imply that this active run is a Heroic one, but I'm not sure. But if there's no way of knowing, I'm likely just going to leave it as is.
Draw two is nice, although demon hunter has a lot of draw already. Targeting minions is nice, and targeting deathrattles makes it even easier to build around. But after all of that, I still don't know that there are enough good demon hunter deathrattles to justify building a deck around them.
Another card that seems pretty good, but only if you make it to the late game. I feel like warlock doesn't really struggle finding good plays on later turns. Maybe if you're playing zoo-lock and you happen to go past turn 17, but by then you're likely to be struggling no matter what.
These sigils seem fun, but they're a little too easy to play around. Granted it might delay your opponent's play a turn, but other than that it seems like a secret that you can see coming and just choose to avoid.
Good value as far as cost. It establishes board presence, and offers some sustain through the lifesteal. I doesn't do much for you later in the gamr if your opponent is close to lethal, but as an early play it's not half bad.
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice

New Warlock Minion - Apothecary's Caravan
Hard to protect and the payoff is a 1 mana card. Bad card.

New Priest Minion - Soothsayer's Caravan
Like the other caravan cards, I don't like this.
Might have more survivability for priest though will all the health buffs.
New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)
Pretty decent value generator. Like a lot of these multi-level marketing spells, the level one effect of just so-so. But like fine wine, it just gets better with time.
New Shaman Minion - Tinyfin's Caravan
Bad card for me.
The start of turn effect sucks since it means this needs to survive a turn to get a single proc off. I don't think this will see play.
New Neutral Minion - Gruntled Patron
Feels like a tribute card to an oldie. Meme card.
Frenzy is a much weaker effect then the old text and this cost 1 mana more. Unlikely to see play.
New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)
The level 1 effect isn't amazing, but would help out in a pinch. Later on in the match this becomes really good, given that it can target minions or hit face. This actually makes me excited to play some rogue again.
New Hunter Minion - Prospector's Caravan
I dislike this card (and the caravan cards in general).
The start of turn effect really hurts this. To me this looks like a vanilla 2 mana 1/3/
New Hunter Spell - Piercing Shot
This looks like fair card for hunter.
Board control with no damage wasted on overkill.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
It's nice to see them making use of board position again. Not too hard to play around, but still something to take into consideration when playing against demon hunter. Probably not worth playing most of the time without the outcast effect, but potentially another board control tool (because DH really needs more of those).

New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
Good zoo card.
As long as you always have a minion on board (not too difficult with zoo), you get 5/5 worth of stats for 3 mana.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Why craft an epic when a rare will do? This clearly competes with Self-Sharpening Sword for a weapon slot and a three mana slot. If not for the new rogue legendary, I'm not sure how much play this would see, but even just throwing a single Deadly Poison on this makes it pretty good.

Poor man's Reno the Relicologist
At the cost of being more spell heavy, you get a 2 off card on smaller body.

New Shaman Minion - Earth Revenant
Solid anti-aggro card.
Also great counter to 1 health stealth minions.
New Warrior Spell - Rancor
As others have mentioned, enables the effect is enabled by Barov. Board clear + armor.
For me this feels like a better Holy Nova (though not strictly better).
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Tuskpiercer
Again, a pretty decent card, but for a play style that I just don't see happening. At least not yet.
I'm Forging into the Barrens! The Horde Has Sent a War Supply Crate to My Location (Thanks Blizzard)
nice, glad they're hooking u up for the work on the site :)
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Spirit
Draw two is nice, although demon hunter has a lot of draw already. Targeting minions is nice, and targeting deathrattles makes it even easier to build around. But after all of that, I still don't know that there are enough good demon hunter deathrattles to justify building a deck around them.
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback

These sigils seem fun, but they're a little too easy to play around. Granted it might delay your opponent's play a turn, but other than that it seems like a secret that you can see coming and just choose to avoid.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Vile Call
Good value as far as cost. It establishes board presence, and offers some sustain through the lifesteal. I doesn't do much for you later in the gamr if your opponent is close to lethal, but as an early play it's not half bad.
