I think Primordial Protector is good enough to see play in the right deck. Very curious to see the full pool of 7, 8, 9 , and 10 cost minions once the full set is revealed. If there's a few low-stat duds at a certain cost it could make a huge difference in viability. Right now it would obviously fit in Survival of the Fittest/Y'Shaarj Druid.
Looks like a card that may give rise to a new archetype akin to Spitefull decks. Mages have some elemental synergy and lots of spells, so they could very well use this. Shaman has (so far) only Tidal Wave and Runic Carvings, but it's an elementa and spell synergy so we'll probably get a ten cost spell for shaman. But the best fit would be Druid, with Survival of the Fittest, Cenarion Ward and Guardian Animals, maybe in an Nzoth deck. Seems meta defining!
Spiteful summoner, but with elemental support? Interesting, and I like the "highest" cost aspect, but so far as I remember, the highest shaman spell is 8?
I love to see the return of Kazakus, and I really like that Kazakus, Golem Shaper has a different build-around effect than the original. We've seen a ton of highlander decks, and it's time for something new.
How good this is will depend a lot on how valuable the abilities are, so it's kind of early to judge, but I liked the last cycle of "Has no X-cost cards" back in KotFT, so this should be a lot of fun.
Kinda like Spiteful Summoner. The text is similar, yet also different. You can add cheap spells into your deck with high-cost spells.
It is also an improvement over Spiteful to draw that high-cost spell, instead of just revealing it. That high-cost spell can be played on curve as AoE.
It doesn't provide the same tempo swing since it costs 8 mana, but still very, very solid.
It's similar to Spiteful Summoner, only slower and more reliable. It is 8 mana but it puts two bodies on the board and adds a card to your hand. The main problem is that it won't always have an immediate impact on the board. The spell will be too expensive to play, and the minion summoned may not be any good.
I may be underestimating this card, but outside of ramp druid I don't see this being broken.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
So Kazakus is now a sculptor lol.
4 mana cards are not that important, they can be cut probably. Golems are probably not super impressive as the spells of Kazakus, i guess.

New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
Very strong specific tutor and token summon despite of it's stats. 5 stars
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
Excited to find out more about this!
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
Exactly this. With two Blooms and a Coin, turn three. It's going to happen at some point.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
WILD: LPG Mage maybe? This card might see play in very specific decks.
Primordial Protector
Usually tutors are really strong, but this one costs a lot. But it can see play in combo decks.
Kazakus, Golem Shaper
good to see this design again, can be useful for ctrl decks

And plus ti gives some love to a different restriciton(like the princes from Kotft)

Ok, so Prince Kazakus now, have a good value depending on golem's effects.
Still no dragon form??? I am expecting that since Gadgetzan.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
Being able to cheat this out a few turns with The Coin and/or Lightning Bloom is sure to be annoying. It's like Spiteful Summoner part 2.

Except old Kazakus did not have just three fixed choices. Only the mana cost was fixed.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
Oh no...I really disliked Spiteful Summoner, and although this does seem slower, I still fear what could happen.
Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens Card Reveal Season Kickoff - Wronchi Reveals the Returning Kazakus! 2 New Cards
Indeed, loved the ending
The primordial protecter just screams Druid, for example with Clowns.
Primordial Protector
I can see this having a lot of value with Lightning Bloom ready and available in the standard meta.
Primordial Protector
Potential to be an insanely strong card in the right deck.
