That's a very strong board clear for s low mana price

Agreed! I haven't played WoW in 10 years, so it was nice to have a breakdown of what the Hearthstone designers could be using as inspiration.

So interesting

This looks weak at first glance. It's basically just Arcane Explosion when you need it the most (the early game) and Priest doesn't have any incentive to run spell damage to improve it. It's just okay at 5 mana (1 less mana for your average 2 damage AoE) and it becomes quite good at 10 mana (2 mana for 3 damage AoE is really flexible) but this is the kind of card that needs to make an impact at very early stages of the game. It doesn't matter how flexible or strong it is at 10 mana if you don't survive to that point. There's always the possibility of synergies appearing around its holy tag and that is something to take into account.

Extreme value

I liked the old one and like this one. Seems pretty good probably worth to build around for some decks.

Full board heal for a very low price. Very strong imho

I want to see it in wild against secret mages

priest boring

Considering anchorm4n mentioned Rotten Applebaum, I think they know.

I hope this not be a toxic card

my goodness the tempo on this card? I'll probably throw it into my secret paladin deck, just for the extra synergy.

So it unsecretifies (definitely a word) enemy secrets, I guess that's always good.

More control board...

Interesting card

Nice card

I love this card. I have to use it!!!

Seems like an interesting card, let's see the must important cards hunter can tutor with it:

3 cost: Deadly Shot and Petting Zoo.

2 Cost: All secrets, Don't Feed the Animals, Quick Shot and [Hearthstone Card (Scavenger's Engenuity) Not Found].

1 Cost: Demon Companion, Overwhelm, Tracking, Resizing Pouch and the most interesting option: Lock and Load.

It's also VERY interesting that it tutors a 1, 2 and 3 cost card, because 1+2+3=6, meaning that you can play all 3 tutorred spells in a row on turn 6 after a turn 5 Barak Kodobane. The 3 cost spell pool is quite... low on cards right now, but i feel like were going to probably see a new 3 cost spell this expansion. Also i guess Barak Kodobane is one of the few reasons Animal Companion rotated? hunter has always had trouble with drawing cards, and Barak Kodobane helps out a lot with overcoming that weakness. I'm also 100% sure we will get even more support for this during fellowing card reveals.

I think it will see play in midrange/OTK hunter decks in order to draw removal, and i think it will also see play in Secret Hunter in order to Lock and Load + secret + Petting Zoo the turn after. Barak Kodobane will be a very versatile card in a lot of slower hunter deck going forward. (Good thing the hunter Core Set already hinted towards a slower midrange/control style of hunter.)

I hope this card has useless cards soon

Okay, so it's not absolutely insane in terms of healing, but now it looks like just an okay card for N'zoth Priest (both of them actually)

Arcane Explosion cries in the corner.

wait what, this has taunt too? Are they nuts.

They better not put any more res stuff into Priest, because this just completels shits all over Khartut

A 6 mana 6/6 with taunt isn't dreadful. It's by no means good but it could be a lot worse. So healing all friendly characters by 8 seems very OP.
