hmmm, I don't see how this can work. Summoning a bunch of 5/5s with no rush? It doesn't do anything to the board immediately. It's mush weaker than Souciologist Malicia, who has a similar summoning effects, is easier to trigger, and the 3/3s can fight back the board.
Ironically some cards like Inner Rage and Thoughtsteal will no longer be with us once Barrens is out.
I really like the watchpost cards, seems like there's a lot of shenanigans you can have simply by playing these cards out. Are they just a tad overpowered though? Play Mor'shan Watch Post out on an empty board and its nearly impossible to not get value, since most of the spell removal cards from standard are gone, and this card has 5 health.
Xyrella is just the kind of card priest really needs. Not being a spell means this card cannot be obtained from Sethekk Veilweaver, which is a little disappointing for priest players. But an option for board removal is always going to be welcome, now that most of the removal cards are gone. Will this make Desperate Prayer a playable card? I'm still doubtful, since Flash Heal exist, and will likely be the main activator of this card.
I'm 100% sure outpost will be a thing all year, as this will be a Alliance vs Horde year. But I don't know where people are getting that they are bad stated, crappy, epic minions.
I'm not sure about the worst legendary (in a long time), but I have to agree that this is pretty bad. Unless a really awesome watch post gets printed, this card will be too slow. If a really awesome watch post does get printed, I imagine you would just put it into an aggro/midrange deck and skip this and the others.
They're pushing the minions bumping into each other. Ogremancer just made an impact. This also seems like if you're winning, win more. Will be fun to try.

New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
token generator, probably good for token strategies with the other watch post

New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
Better than the other watch tower.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Agreed. But everything seems like it's slowing down, and we're going to ram minions into each other a lot.
Let's get weird.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
I do not think the effect is good enough, especially because this unit cannot attack and takes up a spot on the board.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
Watch Post Priest meta
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Desperate Xy controlling the board at 4-mana!
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
They just remove this with a spell, and if you have both watch posts then they probably have mana for big AOE
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Very strong effect! Aside from that, the card is soooo pretty. Probably the best looking card in this whole set.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Cool art, mediocre effect which needs help from support heal cards.

New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Sticking a
on 2 was a nice play for Aggro Rush warrior this season that I played to Legend. This card slots right in. Nice.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
Yeah... they get +1/+1 before getting a Twisting Nether
Not even comparable to Ogremancer, because you need to be way ahead on board for this to be impactful
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
At first glance, this looks super weak...+1+1 isn't that of a bit deal, especially warrior has cards like shield of honor to aggro down the opponent.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Watch posts seem too slow and too weird.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Interesting card, seems kinda slow though.
Eduquesa Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Card - Kargal Battlescar
Yeah already know, Amazing LP wasn't quite up yet when I asked...

New Priest Minion - Xyrella
With Desperate Prayer it can be 10 AOE, but even outside of that pretty solid
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Seems like it activates from going face too... so it is super good.

Watch Post meta? Paladin maybe?
