This can deal some absurd amounts of damage to the enemy board with enough buffs but even baseline he's still good for popping divine shield or clearing out smaller stealth minions or small minions hiding behind beefy taunt minions.
Honestly I though this was going to rotate, because of the same reason the spell power totem has been removed. Still, since I like control decks and RNG I'm glad it remains.
I don't understand the change, I mean I like it, but for what I understand most card that care about having cards from another class are leaving standard right?
Don't know how much play it'll see since most cheap removal from contro decks deal 3 damage now. I guess it'll be good to contest the board with another aggro player.
As long as the card doesn't die during his first attack, it essentially heals back up to full health while also getting its stats switched and gaining the taunt keyword. Too bad he's not a neutral XD
New Neutral Minion - Baron Rivendare
Hunter had Necromechanic and did not see any play and I can't think of a current class with incredible deathrattles.
I guess time will tell.
New Neutral Minion - Blademaster Samuro

New Neutral Minion - Blademaster Samuro
The blademaster is finally part of HS - nice!
New Neutral Minion - King Mukla
I guess this is the best comment this card will have
New Warrior Spell - Whirlwind
That would be cool I guess, maybe one of those that upgrades after 5 and 10 mana
New Neutral Minion - Shadow Hunter Vol'jin
I love the experimental aspect of release 1 (or a few) card(s) prior to release day, shake things up a little before the meta truly changes.
New Warrior Spell - Slam
Come on and Slam, and welcome to the jam!
New Warrior Spell - Execute
With Risky Skipper rotating I think it's less likely we'll see play of this.
New Warrior Spell - Brawl
Honestly I though this was going to rotate, because of the same reason the spell power totem has been removed.
Still, since I like control decks and RNG I'm glad it remains.
New Neutral Minion - Mankrik
I can't wait to try this in my secret mage deck :D
New Warlock Minion - Dread Infernal
Is this in the core set because it is an infernal? I don't think this will see constructed play.
New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
I feel Renew is still better as discovering a spell on top of a heal is very good even if that card does heal you for less.
New Shaman Minion - Menacing Nimbus
Since I like longer value games I'm really glad to see it return, however it was way more important when elemental synergies were a thing.
New Shaman Spell - Windfury
I feel like this is only here for Instructor Fireheart
New Shaman Spell - Lightning Bolt
As core as it gets for the mechanic and the class I guess.
New Rogue Minion - Swashburglar
I don't understand the change, I mean I like it, but for what I understand most card that care about having cards from another class are leaving standard right?
New Rogue Spell - Backstab
Great combo enabler as always so great for being core to Rogue.
Also Bladed Cultist best friend for your turn 1 after your opponent drops a minion.
New Rogue Minion - Bladed Cultist
Don't know how much play it'll see since most cheap removal from contro decks deal 3 damage now.
I guess it'll be good to contest the board with another aggro player.
New Rogue Spell - Assassinate
RIP Walk the Plank in wild
New Rogue Minion - Tomb Pillager
It was used a lot at its time, coins in Rogue matter more than in other classes because of combo mechanics
New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)
I can see this being a very good card in combination with Bru'kan
New Priest Spell - Flash Heal
Card for the pool of random generated cards, don't see the place with the upcoming decks.
New Priest Minion - Psychic Conjurer
yeah sure, specially when they removed Thoughtsteal
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
As long as the card doesn't die during his first attack, it essentially heals back up to full health while also getting its stats switched and gaining the taunt keyword. Too bad he's not a neutral XD
New Priest Spell - Holy Smite
Now even holier!
