I like it because OGremancer already proved the concept works.
This could be the reverse Ogremancer because instead of protecting slow decks against fast spell based decks, it protects fast board centric decks against slow spell focussed ones
So I guess there was a reason why Baron Rivendare was added to the core set. Well if blizzard really wants to push deathrattle hunter DH, guess we'll have to go with it
This is good, but at the same time hard to build around.
You need a large amount of Deathrattle minions to make this work (at least 6 minions total to have a reasonable chance of this pulling full value)
Funnily enough this might also make the Darkmoon 4-drop playable because you might want some immediate impact from this.
I also like this Deathrattle direction. Instead of going for some big value deathrattles to replacte later it'S more about the immediate impact of sticky minions, which neither Hunter nor Rogue ever really played with
Could work in Dude Paladin or Token Decks like Druid oder Zoo - but still seems a little Slow and you also need to activate the Frenzy with a decent board to get a good payoff.
At first I thought it was quite weak, like it's basically Blessing of Might before 5 mana. But the more I think about it, dude paladin will likely become a thing and even with the new legendary Cannonmaster Smythe this card become nuts at 10 mana. Pity it's epic rarity, but that would potentially make aggro decks more expensive, which is a good thing.

New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Is this the first time we got a truly neutral archetype?
I mean, maybe there'll be some class Outposts, but just this alone might be good enough to be honest.
Either way, I'm kind of curious how many archetypes can build around this type of mechanic.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Power card. If Frenzy cards end up being any good, this will get nerfed
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
Less useful than other ranked spells unless a deck is built specifically to make use of an effect like this
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn

New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Another card for Rush Warrior. This will find a deck and be used often
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Spirit
They realy pushing this Deathrattle Theme for Demon Hunter - could work depending what kind of new Deathrattles we get with the Expansion.
Right now its an ok card - could be Awesome depending on new Deathrattle cards.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Solid Priest AoE, cheap, and comes with a 4/4. Card is great!
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
Pretty mediocre.
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Looks pretty good.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
Could work in Dude Paladin or Token Decks like Druid oder Zoo - but still seems a little Slow and you also need to activate the Frenzy with a decent board to get a good payoff.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Neat effect, but really slow and takes a lot of set up for some 5/5s
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)

New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Strong card, and the art is amazing!
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
Definitely not amazing.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
Bad.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Seems bad.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
This plus Ogremancer to lock your opponent out of games
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
This could be very strong, it once again depends on what Deathrattle minions DH gets.
New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
This one seems strong ! Cheap and Effective. Not it is even more dangerous to leave up some Dudes when you play against Paladin.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
Mediocre.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Spirit
Very good, but that just seems to be part of DH's class identity.
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
I might be in the minority on this, but I like the other watch tower more
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Looks interesting, would obviously be a staple in any taunt druid.
