It's a nice swing, but doesn't this have anti-synergy with Oh My Yogg!? Like, one of its main uses is protect your board from AoE, but that's not possible if it got turned into a minion, leaving you open to big removal.
I guess it's could be good, if there's not much AoE this exp.
Well so hero power mage is a real thing now. I'm super excited since its a "new" archetype. We've seen some cards with this kind of interaction before such as Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk but never that much cards for the archetype in same time. Hype !
Without any buffs, it's Arcane Explosion plus a 3/5 body plus a ping to the face: that's a lot of value for 4 mana. With a buff, you'll really be cooking. There will ABSOLUTELY be cards that increase HP damage to support this and Mordresh Fire Eye.
I wanted Jan'alai to work so bad when it was in standard. At first glance this seems maybe better, but 10 damage is a big condition to meet without falling hopelessly behind on board. Hope spring eternal though, as I imagine this would be an extremely satisfying way to end a game!
I BET were going to see some more Fallen Hero kinda cards. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a 0 mana "your hero power deals 1 more damage this turn" spell printed. (Would be pretty safe now, considering Mana Cyclone rotates.) Reckless Apprentice without hero power boosts is also strong enough, and IT GOES FACE with the battlecry! Most people play Ras Frostwhisper just to deal 1 dmg to all enemies, and Reckless Apprentice does that for -1 mana, and isn't a legendary meaning you can include 2 copies of it. Sure Ras Frostwhisper scales with spell damage, but Reckless Apprentice has hero power synergy and it's VITAL in decks with Mordresh Fire Eye, which is Mages new "ultimate" remove (almost) everything card.
I honestly don't see any reason why this wouldn't see play.
The effect is really awesome. 5 mana for a 4/4 body that could fill your board with 3/3s that even if your opponent does something like Flamestrike, now they have secrets to deal with again. I see this being fun, and a good addition to paladin, but not necessary better than Dude Paladin builds.

New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
I'm not too sure...

New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
This might look ordinary, but since hunter got many discover-from-deck cards, this could actually be broken once buffed.
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
Decent card in Arena!
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Got reminded that mage doesn't have that much face damage anymore, so i guess this guy's a good guy.
Love me some great mage cards.
New Neutral Minion - Blademaster Samuro
Shame it's a 4 cost, so you have to choose between him and kazakus!
New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)
Might be useful in a zoo deck?
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
I mean, even in a long control game, without any additional synergy, this is a stable card.
How insane!

New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)
Very strong AOE, but Shaman has already got enough low-cost AOEs. Not sure this one seems much play

New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Bad for Priests if created by random effects (except Shadow Priest though)
New Neutral Minion - Razormane Raider
Good card for aggro decks!
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
It's decent, but need some cards to combo with it.

New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
Could be good discovered by renew or palm reading.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
I loved the old Kazakus! Just hope the custom options are good. Im assuming the golems will battlecry whatever we select.
New Neutral Minion - Peon
It's okay, given it's just a peon.

New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
This definitely has potential, especially with Reckless Apprentice. Hard to say how good it will be. There will definitely be some OTK that uses this.

Blizzard Reveals Two New Forged in the Barrens Cards for Mage - The Legendary Mordresh Fire Eye & Reckless Apprentice
Likely limited to targetable hero powers.
I wonder how it would work with Hunter + Dwarven Sharpshooter though. (If that is indeed the case)
Blizzard Reveals Two New Forged in the Barrens Cards for Mage - The Legendary Mordresh Fire Eye & Reckless Apprentice
Hero power package went from 0 play to potential 5 stars real quick
I never ruled it out though I knew it was there for a reason.

Thank you for the great suggestion, and best of luck to you!
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
