Once again, here I am thinking - wow! Finally! There it is! I mean, part of me can't help but want this to be a Warrior card, but here is the rush Hunter support that always should have been. 

The Hunter part of me would like to see more support for the archetype (archetypes that rely on drawing one key card, even if good, are never fun), but the non-Hunter part of me would like to say... good golly let it die now it's gone too far, I'm scared!

I like the l'il dwarf, too. Sometimes you need a cute, generic dwarf. Headpats all around.

An interesting rework of Spirit of the Frog but for hunter.  The obvious synergy is with rush cards but do not ignore beasts with taunt and/or deathrattle as well.  

Imagine this with Brann Bronzebeard in Wild. I bet this goes into every highlander deck from now on.

Wow this looks bad. I guess it pairs well with the new spell that burns cards from your deck? But in the late game when this will actually activate, it doesn't even go face.

Well, for 3 mana, and given that it is on a stick, if it had also went face, it would be totally unfair.
It's a situational control card at best, not a win condition per say

I wonder how long a chain you'll actually be able to get off before this dies, or you run out of progressively cheaper beasts.

Must craft, if only for the beard!

I think there's still a card I have to unlock for Blackrock Mountain... Yep! Axe Flinger, Dragon's Breath, hah, one day I'll get around to unlocking you.

Its like a pack filler, but for the random (3) cost beast - I assume

I like it, now Flurry (Rank 1) is way better.

Well, there's definitely a reasoning for the Poisonous tag given that it is a Venomous Scorpid, but I'll give you that, the spell discovery isn't so obvious ; it bugs me 

I'm not sure who would use this. It's a beast, so maybe hunter?

Reasonably costed Legendary allows for fun experimentation and wombo combos - I foresee that this is the case here - Hourray!

This expansion has a whole host of cards so far that my immediate reaction to is, "Well... finally!" 

We've seen so many iterations on this idea in community card design contests that it's amazing its taken so long to have it on a legendary, but here we are! I love it.

You are right about that I just checked wasn't that easy, had to look for the changed old system https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2359-the-hearthstone-rewards-track-updated-experience-requirements-to-get-to-level-350 old changed one is 156525 exp vs new one 155,200  I stand corrected then, guess it was the extra 2 weeks that made it feel like it didn't add up after all is like 850 gold with just doing the quests after level 50.

Clunky name lol.

Nice value card for a deck that suits it (taunt dense, ramp for additional mana). For existing archetypes, I think this can find a home in big druid decks as those run a lot of taunts and ramp.  

I like that blizzard is only monetizing cosmetics with the new additions. They can make money while not paywall-ing players content to remain competitive. 

Considering how this is almost like a better Flanking Strike for Paladin and that all of the Libram spells will be of the Holy school, I don't know how Cariel Roame doesn't see play in the already efficient Libram Paladin.

where is my diamond

I’m not an expert on how to run F2P games, and I’d love to hear more about it from someone who does know. But even Runeterra gives some cosmetics away, and profiting from cosmetics is their main focus. So I agree with you that Hearthstone should to profit from Diamond cards, but I’m pretty sure that it helps them to give all players a taste.

My vision is that an active F2P player can earn 2-3 diamond cards per expansion, a player who spends some money can earn up to 5 or 6, and whales will get a lot more.

Speaking for myself, these diamond cards feel silly right now. They’re over the top and scream “I bought this specific deal to get this animation!” Gold cards, on the other hand, which can be earned through a mixture of luck and spending resources, instead say “isn’t it cool that I have this???” I spend some money on the game, and I’ll become more interested in earning diamond cards when they feel more like a really cool thing I earned. That’s why I suggest that they let me choose which diamond to craft, while always offering the opportunity to earn another. 

This doesn't feel impactful enough for its mana cost. Sure, SHR and Secret Paladins need ways to follow up their wide boards, but I don't think they will be willing to bend so far backwards for a four mana Mark of the Lotus. Also, this competes with the other more immediate and efficient four-cost plays that Paladin is known for. Overall, I think Invigorating Sermon is too slow for its cost.

I love the theory crafting of the outlandish chains that one can pull off with this. The biggest problem is obviously to make sure that you have the lower cost beasts still in deck to pull when the bigger ones get played and attack.

More freeze tools. I guess freeze mage really is coming back. Do I need to invest in Mozaki now?

I have no clue how to rate this card. I've never been able to get a handle on playing warlock anyway. I think I'm just risk averse and the prospect of trading health or cards (tapping and discards) for a power spike is hard for me to learn how to use. We'll see how this one turns out.

I think the spell discover is more valuable than the poisonous key word here. It will be a good card to  slot in to help tune a deck against your opponent.

I see this as sort of a replacement for Ray of Frost, but cheaper at the cost of being able to choose what to freeze. That being said, Ray of Frost is a pretty favorable comparison considering how prevalent the card was during its standard rotation. I think it is important to keep in mind that Flurry (Rank 1) is arguably and comparably worse at its first rank, but having the same or more output in its later ranks with its cheaper cost will allow you to develop more with your freeze than Ray of Frost could offer.
