This could give Warsong Envoy some insane attack. On the other hand it will only have 2 health left. If the other card it resurrects is Barrens Blacksmith, that might help. Either way, I think this makes any previously underwhelming looking frenzy minions look at least a bit better.
Cutterbutter. His occupation when he's not out roguing somewhere.
Cheats mana to such a ridiculous degree, its impossible that this card will not see play. Its basically a tempo 3/3 for a net negative 2 mana. What else is there to say?
This card cheats a total of 2 mana, not counting the combo activator you need for this to work.
Unfortunately, unless there's some Questing Adventurer or Edwin VanCleef like card for rogue, this is just pure mana cheating for 2 without the necessary big minion to go along with it.
But with cards like Shadowstep, you're really cheating quite a good deal of mana. Not to mention that with Tenwu of the Red Smoke, you'll end up cheating a whopping 7 mana's worth in the same turn. Fairly certain there's some OTK combo with Oil Rig Ambusher somewhere around here. If not an OTK then certainly a good deal of damage.
Certainly one of the best cards for rogue. But with a surname like that, who really doubts this to be anything less than 5 stars.
Looks powerful. Maybe you play it when you have a board, then everything attacks and gets +1/+1. It will probably be pretty easy to deal with with those base stats, but it has rush, so if there's a target that it can survive hitting, you might be in business.
Some bonkers potential, but the competition for Rogue weapons is fierce while Self-Sharpening Sword is in rotation. I think for a new weapon to be played, it will have to bring something niche to the table, like Necrium Blade.
SSS costs the same and have 2 more durability and is more reliable because it doesn't need poisons to deal 10 damage over 4 turns. With poisons SSS starts to deal obscene damage whereas this card requires poisons to even be relevant at all.
Similarly assassin's blade have the same attack but a whopping 3 durability more for 1 additional mana.
Yes, you can generate more poisons are you go along, and there are a total of 6 you can jam into your deck, but since this card isn't even immune to oozes, is there any reason to build your entire deck around it? Reminds me an awful lot of Spectral Cutlass, which was supposed to be that glue in a burglar deck but never really reaching any heights in standard when it was introduced.
New Hunter Minion - Kolkar Pack Runner
Violet Teacher but better? More like Magic Dart Frog but better, am I right?
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
In wild, it doesn't really matter that it costs more than Frost Nova when you can run all three cards and buy an extra turn. Dangerous.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Seems stronger this new weapon. Maybe new poison cards will give to the rogue on other expansions as well
New Neutral Minion - Razormane Raider
The fact it can go face might just be important (Overlord Saurfang?), but I doubt this synergy is more than a meme.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
This could give Warsong Envoy some insane attack. On the other hand it will only have 2 health left. If the other card it resurrects is Barrens Blacksmith, that might help. Either way, I think this makes any previously underwhelming looking frenzy minions look at least a bit better.
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
3/3 is underwhelming and we are losing edwin. if there is no new card that cares for cards played this wont see play
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
much better weapons around than this one
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
And we thought it was for priest with their "tempo" thing, actually it's for Holy Paladin. Secrets will be good with this!
New Warrior Minion - Warsong Envoy
Reminds me of Frothing Berserker a lot. Less snowbally, but better stats for cost. Overall, definitely a great 1-drop.

New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
Rank 1 may be weak since it's untargeted, but damn, this will be insane at rank 2 and 3.
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
Worst card in the expansion and maybe in the top 10 worst class cards of all time.
You play this you lose the game period. Not many awful cards can have such a huge negative impact.
And the payoff is Blood Shard Bristleback, IF you didn't destroy it, lol. And Chef Nomi is rotating out.
Maybe there is a card yet to be revealed with some clever design that makes sense for Soul Rend but so far this card is worthless.

Looks powerful. Maybe you play it when you have a board, then everything attacks and gets +1/+1. It will probably be pretty easy to deal with with those base stats, but it has rush, so if there's a target that it can survive hitting, you might be in business.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Self-Sharpening Sword and Assassin's Blade are in standard.
I mean, is there any reason to play this card over those two? Nope.
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
First off, 5/5 S+ Tier name.
Second, that effect is bonkers strong and will cheat some nasty turns.
Buffed Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Demon Hunter Card - Sigil of SIlence
Demon hunter... ruining the game since its inclusion.
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Lots of synergy in standard with weapons, handbuff potential, and Taunt for board impact. Definitely will see play.

Why are you posting this on every thread can you just stop ?
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
Amazing with Overlord Saurfang, but that's it. Likely too sluggish for a token deck.
Scabbs Cutterbutter
Welp....guess I'm still teching in weapon removal this expansion.
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Great combo value, love the name!
