They are, but at that point you are served just as well with a single target instant silence as opposed to a board-wide delayed silence effect like this. You don't need this as an early solution to Libram. This offers no benefits and only downsides compared to Consume Magic in that scenario. The power of this card comes from its board-wide effect. And when you need a board-wide effect to strip Libram of their board of buffed monstrosities, you're on the verge of death and don't have a turn to spare. Essentially, this is a long-winded way of me saying...this card kinda blows in most scenarios. It gives you a guaranteed way to bypass taunts for lethal next turn and pretty much nothing else. Oh, it can disincentivise big plays like N'Zoth the Corruptor and Bloodreaver Guldan for a turn, but DHs don't want to be that late in the game in the first place.
It is a quite strange card, but if you're playing weapon rogue - then the hero power replacement where you don't want to replace your weapon is very useful.
Hmm not this is a VERY interesting card. Almost all druid spells are Nature Spells, considering their nature spell specialists. I think this will see play in some kind of minion base token druid deck, and i think that deck will be decent with cards like Enchanted Raven in the core set. I think Guff Runetotem has a LOT of potential.
Also in b4 druid gets a Book of Specters reprint, even though it wouldn't synergise that well. (Maybe that deck will run Venomous Scorpid to get spells?)
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
Enter the Cannons! I love this card, and the secret synergy is just another bonus - as well as board presence. Just watch out for silence.
New Warrior Minion - Warsong Envoy
I'll be honest, it doesn't impress me.
New Shaman Spell - Nofin Can Stop Us
Murloc Shaman is back !
New Rogue Spell - Paralytic Poison
Nice idea for weapon control decks.
New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)
I think this will only be useful at later ranks, as early game it is too weak.
IGN Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Mage Legendary Card - Varden Dawngrasp
Surely Flurry (Rank 1) too?
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
Frost Nova plus, very nice freeze synergy.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Silence
when I see the Sigil of Flame and its icon, I knew it wont be the only card that would work like that
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
Its great to see kazakus back, with a similar effect to previously. Will for sure see play.
New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
Murloc tribal board clear is a very nice thought, especially for generation.

Do you see what must be done?
a nerf
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
It is a quite strange card, but if you're playing weapon rogue - then the hero power replacement where you don't want to replace your weapon is very useful.
New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative
Not really Anti-Secret, but the knowledge and tempo gained vs a secret deck will be exceptional.
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Hero power mage is Back!

New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
Hero power mage is Back! Also hero power Odd Wild Mage is looking strong.
New Hunter Minion - Kolkar Pack Runner
I'm loving the idea of spell hunter using this.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Silence
A very good card, these sigils seem to be quite potent.
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
This seems to fit the themes of ranked spells in this class.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Silence
Seems broken. Set lethal next turn without surprise for the opponent. Thk blizzard
New Druid Minion - Guff Runetotem
Great for token Druid I guess. Love the card art, could be awesome in golden :)
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Very good card.
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
arguably worse than hellfire, unless the no-deck warlock becomes a thing
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
tutor draw with discount, solid card
