Ringmaster Whatley doesn't see meaningful play, and I'd argue it's a better card as it can draw more impactful cards on the board and is in a class that is less punished by a loss of tempo. That being said, Spells are naturally faster cards than tribal minions, and you can play all spells on your next turn, so Barack ObamaBarak Kodobane has that going for him.
It's a good decision IMHO. However, I fear that while the new Classic mode will bring joy for veterans as well as people who joined the train later, it will die out pretty soon once the initial hype is over and the meta is 'solved' due to a very limited card pool.
Tow slow, and too random - you really want a Taunt/Rush minion to be generated so you can have some board impact, but I guess some decks will still run it.
With a lot of the new cards but especially this one, I'm sensing some potential handbuff shenanigans, especially with that new legendary from the core set, Overlord Runthak
Hey, just wanted to suggest another ad concept for mobile users. With a medium sized phone, a banner ad above the keyboard and a video ad below the logo and browser interface I often can't see what I'm typing since the comment in progress is covered by ads. I understand why you need ads, but could you be able to see what you write? Like a stripe of 20-30% of a mobile screen would stay free at least?
And, if possible no video ads for mobile users, they take more data than pictures or banner ads.
Seems quite good, effect is easy to trigger in warrior, and it is also good with handbuffing. But that said, handbuffing is one of the worst mechanics in HS in terms of winrate, and Armagedillo is rotating. I'm guessing it's going to see play in some control deck, and maybe a midrange warrior deck. Actually weapon warrior might also use it. 5 mana 8/8 with taunt is not something you should ever underestimate, that's a pretty big stat bomb. And it also fit's very well on curve after a turn 4 Sword Eater.
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
Reminded me of Ringmaster Whatley - who never really saw much play, and this one is kind of slow and sadly does not seem like it will see any play.

Slow Site Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Demon Hunter Card - Sigil of Flame
Will these occupy a slot in the Secrets interface (max 5), like quests do?
Edit: nvm, just found the article on the mechanic.
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
Maybe in a midrange hunter?
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Nice one!
Hearthstone's Classic Mode Will Launch With Patch 20.0 Prior to Forged in the Barrens Release Unlike Previously Stated

Still a welcome addition to the game tho.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
Kinda early to rate it, but usually these cards seem to be playable in slow control decks.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector

New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster
Someone at Blizzard really messed up Hunter and Demon Hunter...

Let's see if Paladin Christmas Tree will be back.

New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
This needs a lot of support to be playable, but if it is playable, it also AWESOME.

Control Warrior is back!?
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
A bit expensive and no board impact, but i guess it will be included in some combo/burn decks.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame
I don't like control Demon Hunter, but I guess I will have to get used to it, since it seems they are pushing with this card.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
Interesting
New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster
We have to wait for more deathrattle demon hunter cards
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
Good ability, but situational (for example vs control)
