This was a hilarious read, and actually made me wanna try some of the decks out!
Well done sule <3

Without more impactful Watch Posts this won't be a good card. Most of the time this will get himself and probably two other minions on board. There will probably be an achievement around him. I expect that will be the only reason to make a dedicated deck for him.

This is an amazing card! Would probably need some sort of follow up to actually finish the minion off though.

With a few exceptions, this is effectively steal half a minion's stats. Control Priest may like running this to help remove a minion with a smaller removal tool like Holy Smite, but Control Priest also doesn't care about having stats on their board most of the time. Also, there is the issue that Serena Bloodfeather doesn't remove the targeted minion, leading to a card with removal inefficiency that Control Priest may not want.

I guess this could be a handy anti aggro tool. Although it takes up a board spot, it can at least match most zoo type minions to clear them out. Something like token druid could outvalue it, but it would at least give you a chance to even things up.

I mean, it's pretty obvious that they weren't making a galaxy brained move and planned 3 years ahead with these characters.

What's more likely is that they just chekced all their previous original characters and thought "these 3 don't have established names or lore, let's use them again". Wouldn't be surprised if they just overlooked some of the promotional material.

This is amazing if Secret Paladin becomes a thing again.

In a word: fluid.

This mechanic sounds cool, but we saw something similar back in the day with one of the early Trogg cards. I thought it would be high impact then, but it wasn't. I feel like the same will be said for both watch post cards.

No, Druids have regeneration magic. He pulled out his eyeballs and grew new ones that work better.

Here is the poison enabler for that weapon. This will give you two plus whatever extras you choose to generate through bounce effects. I don't know if this make Rogue any better, but it could remain consistent with some of the archetypes we have now.

I usually want to play my Paladin secrets more deliberately, but it's hard to say no to free stuff!

Yes you're right, it definitely seems to be Aranna

Discarding cards from your deck without being able to control what they are most of the time is a serious downside that risks you losing your win conditions. Warlock already has draw that can help them reach fatigue quickly whether it be Life Tap, Free Admission, or Mortal Coil. I don't think Warlock needs to destroy their own deck to achieve the fatigue synergies or destroy their opponent's deck with Altar of Fire when Tickatus exists and doesn't destroy your own deck when corrupted.

Will Handbuffs ever work? This might be the card that lets us know. It has always been so hard to pull off. I don't have high hopes this time around.

I guess the poisons are Deadly Poison, Nitroboost Poison, and the new Paralytic Poison, plus Leeching Poison in wild.

That's a very small pool of cards. For a comparison, Xaril, Poisoned Mind had 5 possible toxins. If they do not release other poisons, it will be too reliable.

I think this will require some actual knowledge of how to play whatever decktype it enables. This will not be one of those autopilot kind of decks. The real question will be can you keep your health high enough that a few turns of fatigue damage won't kill you while you try to finish off your opponent with a bunch of 3/2 minions. It says that it fills the board each turn, I presume that means start of any turn, yours or your opponent's.

I freaking loved Recurring villain when he came out.

Such a fun design

These comparisons are mostly bad. Subdue is a Paladin card, so it doesn't really have any bearing on whether this card is good for Priest.

Of course it does. Subdue removes 99% of stats. Serena removes 51% of stats. She's plain worse as a removal, class identity and class limitations don't matter here it's a purely mathematical comparison.

Scarlet Subjugator and Penance are decent comparisons for playing Serena early, but they're both rotating.

Doesn't matter that they are rotating, they are better cards, one of which didn't see any play.

The Nameless One is just a bad comparison because they do very different things.

No, they are extremely similar cards that try to accomplish the exact same thing, negate a minion's power whitout actually removing it, while developping your own minion. Like I said, half removal, half tempo, these are just bad cards.

And even if they don't, the lack of Shadow Word: Pain and Penance make room for this even if it's only meh overall because of that weaker early game state. It has the flip side of being better than all of those control-oriented 2-drops in the late game, and that's not nothing.

Maybe, we'll see, I expect Serena to see a total of 0 play. I've been wrong before, many times. I thought Mekgineer Thermaplugg was more powerful than Dr. Boom
