- 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.
- Celestial Alignment will at some point be the most disgusting card to ever be printed for druid.
- The priest cards are decent now, so there's that. But still can't draw for shit and now galakrond is out they cant generate more minions, so as predicted: you clear the priest board ONCE, and that's game over.
- There's some really spicy elementals that might just bring back midrange shaman. For all intends and purposes, Lilypad Lurker is basically Vilespine Slayer with only the smallest caveat. There might not be enough elementals in standard to make it consistent, but we'll see.
- Wildfire is literally insane. If control mage makes a comeback, this is just backbreaking. Wonder why the hell is priest denied the Mind Shatter upgrade when they happily proceed to then give this to mage (Unless the second copy of wildfire literally just refreshes the hp)
- We got rid of Eviscerate, only to see something that is basically that in Wicked Stab (Rank 1) come straight back. Is team5 literally toying with us?
Mage, paladin, and druid looking really good. Almost a good leap away from the most unfortunate class this time round, demon hunters. Looking forward to the release already.
This will be a common sight in most mage decks going forward. Unless you're playing secret mage. This card is a must kill or it can get annoying for many classes.
New Shaman Minion - Lilypad Lurker

Celestial Alignment
If you play Razormane Battleguard with 2 Strongman in hand, and then Celestial Alignment would it corrupt the Strongman?
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper
Nah.
