Pack-filler, but its pretty spicy for pack-filler. The frenzy effect makes it kind of annoying to remove since you need 6+ damage or hard removal to prevent the free 5 damage it deals otherwise. Also curious how this works with Freeze effects.

A Priest/Paladin dual-class in disguise, but it should be decent in either. Priest might be able to start a new Miracle/Tempo style and this might find a strong home in Libram Paladin with their constant Libram of Wisdom spam.

I think this card is nuts. 3 mana 3/4 is fine to play, but the highroll potential for a 3/10+face damage later is going to be SUPER strong in aggressive decks that draw fast. Demon Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock all have an easy time drawing their deck fast and will be able to find Makrik's wife pretty easily.

Vol'jin will be run as a keystone in meme-y mana-cheat decks and not for hit utility against enemy minions. 5 mana is too much to pay for such variable disruption that could screw you over, but is a nice fit for cheating out any large minions.

Why would that change your chance? I don't believe they choose the winners based on time.

Seems perhaps a tad on the weak side, but with Ritual of Doom, Blizzard seems like they will push board-swarm synergy for Warlock, which might make this good enough. There could also very well be Fel spell synergy. As is though, the card is going to need some support before a strong consideration.

Nope

Your first guesses were more on point but in the wrong expansion.

Quote From JackJimson

I'd assume there will be as this is a major rotation.

I haven't tried, but if you start an arena run and a heroic duel run, do you get a free ticket for both?

So far we only had a free ticket for Arena.

However, Duels have so called "themes", at the moment it's "Wizard Duels" (you can see the name on the main Duels screen).

I'm not sure what their plan is, when the "theme" changes. They might change expansions available (and card buckets, along with it). New expansion is coming now, new Standard rotation and possibly - new Duels Theme as well.

So when the expansion pool changes, it would be fair of them to just "retire" the existing "old" Duels runs - to keep the equal playing field.

With Arena, "2 loss strategy" for sure worked for years now. With Heroic Duels we can't be sure, so you can try your luck if you want :)

I for sure will try to end on 2 loss in Duels, there's not that much to lose in my opinion :)

Seems pretty good. Really love the idea for ranked spells, having utility that scales with game length is a very cool mechanic. We saw some early workings on this with Schemes, but these can work as top-decks and will likely be worth running more often than Schemes were.

Frenzy isn't that easy to trigger w/o proper set up or Rush. This is in contest with Wandmaker and I think this loses every time :/

I like this one. I think druid can make good use of this is several situations and seems like a solid beast. 

Spell Damage +3 is obviously very powerful, but we'll need to see what the rest of the Nature spells to determine if this card is worth running (since so many of Shaman's spells are Nature, it probably will be).

If I hoard up all my tuskroons until the final day then proceed to buy the giveaway tickets then, that wouldn't change my winning chances right? just asking.

Rating this card highly because if it's run, it will be integral to the deck it's in. A new cheap spell for Miracle Priest potential is spicy and a tool to stem aggro is always welcome. Maybe Brittlebone Destroyer and Flesh Giant start seeing play in Priest?

Since we know that Dire Frenzy will be a part of the next year, Hunter will have some very spicy shuffle/buff mechanics to play with. Now they just need a bit of card draw...

Seems pretty fkin good to me, especially if they keep pushing Beast synergy for Druid this year. 

Oil is also used on Spectral Cutlass in Wild. Unless I'm forgetting something, weapons buffs aren't really used anywhere else because the other rogue decks either don't care much about weapons, e.g. mill, or use weapons primarily for their deathrattle, e.g. Necrium Blade. Plus if you are going to care about weapon buffs elsewhere, you have to ask yourself why you aren't using Kingsbane or Cutlass, and it's rare that there is a good answer to that.

Perhaps another appropriate comparison for NB Poison is Cold Blood, since it's base form is exactly the same and the immediate gain from triggering the effect is also the same (+2 attack) just on different things. Weapons buffs > minion buffs though, making the effect of NB Poison better than Cold Blood, so the fact it currently costs less doesn't make much sense, especially when Cold Blood isn't a bad card to begin with.

Good luck everybody! First time i vote for cards, HYPE!!!!!

Very nice concept of level ups for spells. Baseline is not weak so it should see play in standard.

I have had a problem both today and yesterday where I couldn't complete the "visit the Forged in the Barrens expansion guide" daily task. Is this a problem with the website or am I doing something wrong? 

Thanks so much for extend the giveaway, i think is the right thing to do in this case, and good luck to everyone! Let's talk about the new cards right when they're revealed!

seems like good tempo on paper, the question is if we will end up having too many strong synergistic cards to include this in any deck, which I think will happen in the end.
