Good tempo play for Elemental decks, great for fighting back early and taking control of the board. I hope that Elemental Shaman gets some love this expansion, because I really want this boy to see play.
Making him harder to level up and nerfing either the red or blue card is only change that's gonna have any real impact, my only concern is that the balance team focus too much on TF/Fizz and let Aphelios and the veiled temple off the hook.
One mana card draw. If you have something specific you're looking for, maybe you can talk yourself into playing this card. Not to mention that this old guy looks like his name should be "Knight of Ointment."
This can be pretty strong, but it requires you to have a lot of spells in your hand not play them. And of course, have a minion on board. Seems like it needs too much be consistent enough.
New Mage Spell - Runed Orb
great card for any mage, its a better hero power that generates another card
New Shaman Minion - Earth Revenant
It's OK. Decent defensive body for Elemental Shaman, but if this is the best you can do for Elemental Shaman then maybe that archetype won't work.
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
A +1/+1 for 3 mana on a random minion? Darkglare zoo never thinks about this. Doesn't even have a demon tag. Get outta here.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper
They seem to want to include all the DR package in this expansion to give DR DH support.
Not a bad card, but still, 3 mana and basically having taunt with an effect like this it's not really worth it.
New Neutral Minion - Darkspear Berserker
Good - for 4 mana have 5 attack. Nice in agro decks.
New Neutral Minion - Ratchet Privateer
Mandatory new Pirate for the flow of tribe tags over time - interesting effect, tho
New Paladin Minion - Northwatch Commander
I'm tempted to try that Secret archetype after all those additions.
New Paladin Minion - Knight of Anointment
Fits into so many different decks. Easy 5 stars.
New Shaman Minion - Arid Stormer
Good tempo play for Elemental decks, great for fighting back early and taking control of the board. I hope that Elemental Shaman gets some love this expansion, because I really want this boy to see play.
New Mage Minion - Rimetongue
I don't believe in token mage, but Freeze mage, on the other hand, is a proven strategy.
Still, I'm skeptical
New Shaman Minion - Lilypad Lurker
Value 5/5 .Hex with a body and shaman can play 4 hex in the deck now.
New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)
This is bonkers. Although you'll rarely see it's final form ;)
New Warrior Minion - Whirling Combatant
4 mana 2/6 that comes with two Whirlwinds seems decent.
New Priest Minion - Soothsayer's Caravan
All the caravan cards seem really slow to me.
This one and Prospector's Caravan are the only ones when they survive give you awesome value and punish the opponent harder than the others.
New Paladin Minion - Knight of Anointment
Gerat one drop now we need to see all the holy spells
New Paladin Spell - Galloping Savior
Sometimes this never procs, which can be good: I'm thinking of the cannon boys. Sometimes this does: and Valeera is sad.
New Warlock Minion - Barrens Scavenger
This is an auto-include in "Empty Deck Warlock", but I don't anticipate that deck to be good right away. Needs more support.
NERF TF/FIZZ!
Making him harder to level up and nerfing either the red or blue card is only change that's gonna have any real impact, my only concern is that the balance team focus too much on TF/Fizz and let Aphelios and the veiled temple off the hook.
New Mage Minion - Rimetongue
might find a spot in a frost mage deck
New Paladin Minion - Knight of Anointment
One mana card draw. If you have something specific you're looking for, maybe you can talk yourself into playing this card. Not to mention that this old guy looks like his name should be "Knight of Ointment."
New Shaman Minion - South Coast Chieftain
That's fierce and aggressive, even by Murlocs' standard
That'll see play in some form of Face Shammy
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
Great for zoo warlock with eggs or other stuff .
New Mage Spell - Oasis Ally
Guaranteed premium 4 drop, there will be threats you'll have to kill. Will completely shut down Rogue in wild.
New Paladin Minion - Northwatch Commander
Secret paladin is looking great with this and the weapon we can get a tempo secret paladin deck.
New Priest Spell - Power Word: Fortitude
This can be pretty strong, but it requires you to have a lot of spells in your hand not play them. And of course, have a minion on board. Seems like it needs too much be consistent enough.
