I see this card as a way to look for some more answers. Low on cards? Life tap please. Almost dead? That priest heal or warrior's armour up looks sweet. Need that extra bit of damage for lethal? Hunter HP got you covered.
This is a great card, and it shows how important spell schools are in terms of design space.
If she copied just any old spell, Tamsin Roame would be severely broken. But being restricted to Shadow as she is, she's just strong, not overly dangerous. Why? Because -- as far as we know -- Shadow spells cannot hit face. As long as they avoid creating Shadow spells that will break the game at 0 mana, everything is fine. And since that's actually the whole point of spell schools in the first place, there's no real reason to be alarmed here.
Everything that summons Demons, for example, is going to be Fel, so there's no reason to worry about this card flooding the board.
Platinum did a lot of heavy lifting for gen 4, I hope they take a lot from platinum. Mainly having more than 2 fire types in the regional dex..
The remakes have tended to mix in the 3rd game for story and mechanics, but not the wild Pokemon, so you're probably stuck with Chimchar and Ponyta for fire types sadly.
Having only played Diamond, could you give me some idea of just how much Platinum fixed? Because Diamond and Pearl have a LOT more problems than just having 2 fire types:
Team Galactic make no sense whatsoever (they all just follow Cyrus with no idea what his plan is. Even the admins!);
the animation and text speed is slow beyond the point of frustration;
there are way too many trainers with Gyarados, which is too strong with too few weaknesses to just give to every other water trainer;
too many of the new Pokemon are just evolutions of old ones, and too many of those aren't even obtainable until the post-game;
the story's pacing is way off;
the Elite Four ratchets up levels so much that you are forced into grinding for ages or cheesing the last fights by stalling with endless revives;
I like Cynthia fine, but her fight isn't actually enjoyable
why do I have to deal with the fog?! It's not even close to fun, but somehow isn't even the worst thing, oh no, that honour goes to
the damn swamp mechanic where you get stuck every other step! Just why? Who wants that?
These are all little annoyances that can easily be fixed in the remakes though, if they weren't already fixed in Platinum. Certainly they had learned their lesson going into Black and White, which hasn't got a single one of those issues.
New Neutral Minion - Mankrik
Great for Paladin, maybe if we had more spells like the Inspiring one to buff minions in deck. Also with 2-mana Prince, Wild Mankrik seems crazy.
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!

This card will see play, most definitely.
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
Amazing legendary. Hope it'll see play.
New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative
Secret Mages and Hunters beware.
Oh, and DH sigils?

TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!
He is talking about Sir Finley Mrrgglton not the paladin only card.

KNOWN SHADOW SPELLS (excluding 0-Cost)
LIKELY CANDIDATES
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
I hope there's some synergy, still it's hard to play.
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
Combo spells gonna get out of hand real quick, perhaps some Shadow spells have draw....
New Paladin Minion - Cariel Roame
Holy Paladin spec this expansion, so Ret and Prot in the next two I bet.
New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
It gives value but... what kind of deck want to play another hero power if its not an improved one?
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
Ah, control priest and quest fulfillment.
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
I really like this card. Suits Warlock bigtime.
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Geez, as if Zoo and eggs and deathrattles weren't powerful enough.
New Paladin Spell - Invigorating Sermon
this is a card that in theory is good, but in my view will be very poorly seen in competitive decks
Opinion on pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl?

New Rogue Spell - Yoink!
I don't know if this is viable. But I like the flavour.
New Paladin Spell - Invigorating Sermon
It can be okay if discounted with the other currently revealed cards but might be too slow. Can be pretty strong with Cannonmaster Smythe.
Summoning a whole bunch of 4/4 can be pretty hard to deal with remember quest rogue?
Yoink!
Yeah I know it's bad
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
very good as anti-aggro.
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
Seems pretty good for control priest. Will there be a control priest or shadowform will take over?
New Paladin Minion - Cariel Roame
with a few holy spell will be excellent. For the moment it's just good
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
0 mana spells generating without any rng is extremly good.
5/5 card.

New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
very risky AoE. Don't think it will be useful
