Might this be a harbinger of a new DH style? I would love for something a little cooler to get pushed. Maybe I'm still holding onto my DH hate from launch last year, but I've not liked any of its mechanics yet.
Garbage. Basically Pit Fighter, but sometimes gets an extra attack to face. Opponent can sometimes setup a kill on it by triggering effect in their favor.
I like the idea here, but we will need some method of tutoring secrets to hand or in play for this to be very impactful. I really hope that surfaces because I am tired of the current paladin play style.
A nice throwback to Spiteful Summoner. I always enjoy playing big anything, minion or spell, decks. I'm no good at them but the one in three or four times they work out for me are so satisfying. I'll be playing this guy in a high roll deck somewhere. This might even be fun to pair up with Spiteful in a wild deck.
I like the return of Kazakus. He was always a great card to use and once I really understood more about planning what I wanted from the card instead of just picking what looked good when the options came up, he became awesome. I think this will be the same kind of card. Once we get a good handle on the options and work out what deck can do without 4 drops, this will turn into a good card.
Finally a balanced Demon Hunter legendary! This seems really intuitive to have the opponents of Demon Hunter playing their minions... wait for it.... in the 'outcast' position as a form of counterplay! Maybe this should have been included in the class identity from the start and there might not have been so many problems with the class. This minion will suck if there are a lot of deathrattles in the meta.
This is what a high mana cost legendary is supposed to be about. A good immediate board effect and a nice board threat to follow it up. I feel like I'll want to craft this if I don't unpack it.
5-star, potentially meta-defining, just as the original was. Just need to see if the list is as good as old Kazakus. Also, kinda upset they STILL haven't made him a dragon.
I really like this card. I played around with hero power mage back when I got Jan'alai, the Dragonhawkback in RR. I think this will be lots of fun to mess around with. Especially when coupled with the new legendary.
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
Too slow. Kinda like Lightsteed, but you don't get to target buffed minion, and it's harder to do so.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster

New Neutral Minion - Razormane Raider
Garbage. Basically Pit Fighter, but sometimes gets an extra attack to face. Opponent can sometimes setup a kill on it by triggering effect in their favor.
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
I like the idea here, but we will need some method of tutoring secrets to hand or in play for this to be very impactful. I really hope that surfaces because I am tired of the current paladin play style.
New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)
Maybe in a zoo style deck, but will have to see what support Fel cards get.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
A nice throwback to Spiteful Summoner. I always enjoy playing big anything, minion or spell, decks. I'm no good at them but the one in three or four times they work out for me are so satisfying. I'll be playing this guy in a high roll deck somewhere. This might even be fun to pair up with Spiteful in a wild deck.
New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
Trash. Not even something you would like to see generated.
New Neutral Minion - Peon
Solid card for alternative game modes like duels or arena.
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
Watch out for Wonchi! This won't see play. Neat effect, but they've tried similar before and it's just too slow for any real value.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
I like the return of Kazakus. He was always a great card to use and once I really understood more about planning what I wanted from the card instead of just picking what looked good when the options came up, he became awesome. I think this will be the same kind of card. Once we get a good handle on the options and work out what deck can do without 4 drops, this will turn into a good card.
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
This is crazy strong. It's a 2 more cost Flame Lance, that also gives a 6/7 Taunt.
New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)
Strong card that you hope to see get generated, but don't put into your deck.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
I guess this will be an ok card. I do wonder what happens if there is only one minion on board. Does it get hit twice?
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen

New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster
This feels like it's in the wrong class, but if not, I hope to see a lot more deathrattles in the coming cards.
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
This will need a lot more support to be viable. Paladin secrets trigger easily, so curving out will be an issue.
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
This is what a high mana cost legendary is supposed to be about. A good immediate board effect and a nice board threat to follow it up. I feel like I'll want to craft this if I don't unpack it.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
This will find a home somewhere, but will only be high T2 at best.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
5-star, potentially meta-defining, just as the original was. Just need to see if the list is as good as old Kazakus. Also, kinda upset they STILL haven't made him a dragon.
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
Seems way too slow to put into a deck, but if it gets discovered, would be worth it.
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
I really like this card. I played around with hero power mage back when I got Jan'alai, the Dragonhawkback in RR. I think this will be lots of fun to mess around with. Especially when coupled with the new legendary.
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
This will be fun to experiment with, especially if it works with non-targeted hero powers.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
Potentially better Multi-shot.
Kurtrus Ashfallen
Could be great if it attacks the same minion twice if there's only one. Also another way to get around taunt potentially.
