But Murloc Shaman will need more support, luckely considering their printing Nofin Can Stop Us i'm quite certain we will see more murloc shaman support in FitB and maybe in upcoming sets.
Considering that druid excels at ramp, it's to be expected that the base card is pretty weak. I think it's fairer to judge this card as if it's always played at its max rank.
Well, 10 mana is like turn 6 for Druid, so tutoring a 2 mana Twilight Runner is pretty nice. That being said, Menagerie Warden is back, so there's a chance to copy bigger beasts more easily with this card. However, Guardian Animals feels more powerful than this combo, as the beasts summoned that way have rush, so they're more impactful right away.
Also, can someone tell me how is growing a tree related to beasts?
Here are my first ideas. I haven't checked this topic and haven't been paying a lot of atention to the card reveals, so one of these might very well exist in one form or another.
I'll give some feedback later.
EDIT: Added an alternate version of Light and Might which doesn't have the cross class thingy.
There are lots of solid cards from the past it can be compared to, and even at 2 damage it still compares quite well. So at worst it is an OK card, and definitely not terrible.
A tutor with a discount? Absolutely fine by me. Druid could use some draw tools after rotation and if you have some beasts in your deck this could be very useable. Best levelling spell so far imho.
*The story of Team Galactic is still pretty much the same, although fleshed out a bit more. (I would say the story of most pokemon games isn't that great)
* I never really pay a lot of attention to the early pokemon game stories, but they add a bit more setup I would say, don't expect miracles
I fully accept Pokemon is aimed at kids so you can't expect deep stories, but if you're going to insist on having villain teams they should be somewhat engaging, or at least convey what they're about. Team Plasma did it super well, since animal rights activists make so much sense in a world that revolves around making animals fight, so it is easy to believe Ghetsis could manipulate them with that facade. B2W2 also did a great job of showing how Team Plasma was truly torn on its ideals, and that many of them were genuinely trying to do the right thing.
How they went back to inane nonsense with Team Flare, having just got the nuance of a villain team spot on, I'll never know. No matter how hard they tried to sell it, fashion is not a good basis for a villain team, especially when that 'fashion' means putting on ugly orange suits :P
Anyway, the only reason I care so much about the story in these games is that long ago I set myself the challenge of using every single (non-legendary) Pokemon family in a team during the story and up to the E4. With team sizes ranging from 6 to 9, that meant going through the stories a lot of times. I finished all Pokemon in Gens 1-7 shortly before Gen 8 came out, but stopped there because I don't own a Switch (plus I have no desire to keep it up my whole life!).
New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster
Mweh for now. requires support to be any good
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
seems interesting to say the least.
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
FINALLY a counter to Majordomo ;-)
will play this for the name alone :P
New Rogue Minion - Oil Rig Ambusher
Hmm, good effect and it's a battlecry so it's easy to trigger. I think Oil Rig Ambusher will see play. It's very strong with Shadowstep, Secret Passage and Tenwu of the Red Smoke. It's often a better Gormok the Impaler, and it's going to be rogues replacement for Eviscerate because that's rotating.
Oil Rig Ambusher will see plenty of play.
TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!
Cool card, great concept and underrated power level. A lot of mana value here and good flexibility
New Shaman Spell - Nofin Can Stop Us
Must-include in Murloc Shaman. Shaman needs some way of finishing the game now that Bloodlust and Murloc Warleader rotate, and Nofin Can Stop Us solves that problem. i also really like the name Nofin Can Stop Us lol.
But Murloc Shaman will need more support, luckely considering their printing Nofin Can Stop Us i'm quite certain we will see more murloc shaman support in FitB and maybe in upcoming sets.

It's an OK card. Let's see if that Nature tag will be effective.

Really good and rogue have a couple of tools to abuse the effect. Please note that it ca also target face.
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
Good idea and definitely playable. You don’t want to use your HP with a weapon already equipped so this might give you some good extra value.

Loving the art on these Ranked spells
TecMundo Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Druid Card - Living Seed (Rank 1)
rly (!?)
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Will see play in a variety of decks, zoo included (and it could be one of the top offenders)
New Paladin Minion - Cariel Roame
This is pretty good with the Librams and every other support in play.
New Paladin Minion - Veteran Warmedic
I can't believe they're printing this with the Librams around. OMFG.
New Paladin Spell - Invigorating Sermon
I'm giving it 2 stars. Seems too slow to be relevant.
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
Some hero powers are crazy good ad 0 mana in the late game...
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
Will never see play
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
Depending on the actual Shadow spells available, it would go from 3-stars "That's Good" to 5-stars "BONKERS"
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
Good card mainly because the menagerie warden is back.
