This is a cool card and I like the name, art, and ability. But the whole "spells in hand" Priest synergy they seem to be pushing is really weird. It's easier and more impactful than Fortune Teller, although this alone doesn't seem like enough.
If it's at the end of each turn, opponent can never remove it, and you get full board of ready to attack minions next turn. If at the start of each turn, you actually can't summon any more minions nor attack with your board, basically you block yourself. Which one it is?
If Blizzard wanted everyone to play Murlocs, they should have just told us. Very good card, obvious fit in Murloc decks. Murloc Shaman likely to be everywhere day 1.
- Dhunters got deathrattle synergy...only lacking the actual deathrattles. They keep getting cards like Razorboar which summons deathrattles but that's as far as it goes. Only two deathrattles are standouts, Darkspear Berserker and Burning Blade Acolyte. One is too slow, and the other's deathrattle is detrimental. Like really? I guess we're waiting till the midset again eh. Its a farce how even druid got a decent deathrattle minion this time round, but not the class that actually needs it.
The devs said during the stream that they wanted to try something different when they gave DH deathrattle support. The cards are purposely designed in such a way that they chain together, to make them more sticky I guess. We will have to see how that will plays out in the meta.
New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
Can't wait to try all kinds of Murlocs once expansion hits.
New Paladin Weapon - Sword of the Fallen
Wow, multiple cards tutor and casts it!
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper
Deathrattle cards, weapons included. Maybe it finds its place with Deathrattle weapons as well.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper
Eh. Corpse Widow didn't work, and this doesn't really look better to me.
New Neutral Minion - Taurajo Brave
Way too conditional: it has to take damage BUT not enough to kill it, and in exchange it will kill one (1) random enemy minion. Will not see play.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Gossiper
New Warrior Weapon - Outrider's Axe
Lol, I love how Liv Breeden basically accused the final design team for buffing this weapon. So when it'll be nerfed, we know who to blame 🤣
New Shaman Minion - South Coast Chieftain
Thanks for this one, Blizz.
New Neutral Minion - Talented Arcanist
It seems decent, let's see if it manages to find a spot!
New Mage Spell - Wildfire
5 star card. Mage tends to hp quite a lot and this will massively boost it
New Hunter Spell - Wound Prey
Good card and has some combo potential with other cards.
New Mage Spell - Wildfire
Only decent because Mordresh Fire Eye is a thing, otherwise no one would ever run this.
EDIT: Ok, fair enough. I'm excited for Even Mage in Wild. To be frank, I didn't think of that.
New Priest Minion - Void Flayer
This is a cool card and I like the name, art, and ability. But the whole "spells in hand" Priest synergy they seem to be pushing is really weird. It's easier and more impactful than Fortune Teller, although this alone doesn't seem like enough.
New Warlock Minion - Neeru Fireblade
If it's at the end of each turn, opponent can never remove it, and you get full board of ready to attack minions next turn.
If at the start of each turn, you actually can't summon any more minions nor attack with your board, basically you block yourself.
Which one it is?
New Shaman Minion - South Coast Chieftain
ok. i give in. i will want to play this murloc deck. just so much support added
New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
Bonkers. It says "summon" not "play", so you'll be rushing plenty of little fishy guys!
New Neutral Minion - Gruntled Patron
Once Frenzy is triggered, it won't summon another one.
Could combo with Whirling Combatant, but probably it's bad.
New Druid Spell - Pride's Fury
Token druid seems quite strong!
New Neutral Minion - Taurajo Brave
I like frenzy. Like spellburst but for masochists.

New Rogue Minion - Field Contact
Needs more card draw.
Great for tempo rogue and aggro ,great for the future but for now they have other cards for DRAW.
New Priest Spell - Devouring Plague
This should see play in spell priest to help stabilize against aggro decks. Will be an interesting source of healing if you plan on using Shadowform

New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
Wow amazing neutral murloc!!
New Rogue Minion - Field Contact
Good draw potential, but at 3 mana, it's not doing anything much in the early game.
