This card can support the Secret theme, but the most important thing is that guarantees a draw in Paladin. Unluckily we don't have a lot of strong secret that we want to put in the deck
The hair colour has changed, but the gloves, tongs, goggles etc all match, so yeah, I'd say it's likely.
It makes me wonder though, does that mean the new Kazakus hasn't tried to take over Gadgetzan yet? Was Finja actually from the Barrens all along and maybe only went to Gadgetzan to try to stop Kazakus?
If only Hearthstone lore was more reliable than "here's the story some guy told in the tavern" I might begin some serious HS lore speculation.
Cool way to turn cheap heal spells like Renew and Flash Heal into removal. I like the effect; I like anything that uses Healing to do something that either effects the board or gains you value. I think this will be a must-run for Control Priest so long as Murloc Shaman is a thing.
Updated version. I took out the Warsong Envoys and an Animated Broomstick as more minions in the deck have rush than don't and there are multiple Frenzy activators available. Then I added in Overlord Runthak and 2 x Warmaul Challengers as it fit well on the curve and played into multiple other cards (the Brute and the Shield) plus it's good removal on turn 3.
Very interesting effect. A little like Argent Braggart, except it makes something of your opponent's smaller. I think this could be very useful as pseudo-removal/tempo for Control Priest. Very cool card. Love the design.
I love the idea, it reminds me of when control paladin played Justicar Trueheart or when Vilefin Inquisitor would get jammed into it for occasional Murloc buffs. I hope it works out, I'll definitely try it!
Nice big boy for Healin' Priest. Good roadblock for aggro, and a good sized minion to force removal from slower decks. I think this has potential in Control decks.
This is an OK AoE. Not really a fan of its Rank 1 form. Can't imagine there are that many boards it can clear. Once it starts ranking up things get a little brighter, but not by much.
Have they ever described it that way explicitly? My interpretation is consistent with how the non-golden neutrals will be obtained by total class level, where you get them all regardless of whether 1 class is at level 60 or 6 classes are level 10.
It would also be weird to say "10x that across all classes" instead of "that value in all classes" if it required every class to reach the threshold.
Very strong defensive minion. Might work nicely for a Control Priest in an aggressive meta. Also works to heal your other minions, so you can make better value trades.

Win by summoning dudes but as a control deck
