2 mana summon 3/2 is nothing, especially when the powerlevel of previous expansion is quite high. And waiting for turn 5 or 10 is basically too long. For now, it's basically not good enough, but maybe better when all the card is revealed.
This and new core set discover beast is totally synergized. I just hope this get more support later. Especially good since Voracious Reader still in Standard
I've been waiting to see this guy as a card for a long time. It seems like the hand buff mechanic might make a reappearance with this next expansion. Hopefully it works out better this time than last.
As others have pointed out, this has potential to escalate the same way Pogo-Hopper does, although not in the same way. Hunter's card draw might not be good enough to get a lot of mileage out of this card. I would have preferred it in paladin, where it could be tutored out with Call to Arms, Call to Adventure, or Crystology, but I guess that would have been too powerful.
I hope Frenzy triggers if the minion gets one-shot...
To activate Frenzy the minion must survive damage. Cards like this and the Hunter raptor card could be great, but yeah... if you don't draw them early then you have much less chance to activate the effect because your opponent may have a spell or minion to kill it straight up and deny the effect
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
Seems mediocre, will need to see the rest of the set to make a final judgement on it though, not sure it will see any play
New Shaman Minion - Bru'kan
Seems solid, but I'd like to see the rest of the set and see if it gets more support (which it most likely will), should be good
New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)
Very solid card, will see play in most Shaman decks

My idiot brain thinking I could buy the ticket with my ~300 snowflakes. Wish it was for real.
New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)
Not fantastic, but it should be a good arena card, and there's possiblity for spell school support which could make this good
New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)
Good for Control Shaman I guess, especially good when played with + spell damage.
New Neutral Minion - Blademaster Samuro
Could be good, need to see the rest of the set to see if there's enough support for it. As of right now, it seems alright

New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
0 mana spells almost always see play, so I wouldn't completely count this out, but as of right now I don't see this making the cut in most decks.
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
It's a 1 mana 1/3 beast, it will see play no matter what, the upside is a great bonus
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
This and new core set discover beast is totally synergized. I just hope this get more support later. Especially good since Voracious Reader still in Standard
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
Seems very powerful, nice highend for some sort of midrange druid deck I would think.
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
For a 7 mana minions, it's both versatile and slow. But seeing how easy Druid ramping up mana, I guess 7 mana is nothing. Will see a lot of play.
New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
This is a really good card, removal and then a transformation to taunt. This will make it into a deck.
New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
I think it will be only relevant with shenanigans. I don't see it being super in the meta in standard IMO.
Forged in the Barrens
Gets me even more curious about what's coming next and how those new tags will play out
New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer
Its like the least revealing revealed card ; we still have no idea what priest will look like, as this is pretty generic ...
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
That's some premium 1 drop right there.
I just wonder if the effect can and will stack
New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
1 mana 1/3 beast with a possible upside. Will definitely find its place alongside the other 1-drop, Webspinner.
New Neutral Minion - Blademaster Samuro
I've been waiting to see this guy as a card for a long time. It seems like the hand buff mechanic might make a reappearance with this next expansion. Hopefully it works out better this time than last.
New Shaman Minion - Bru'kan
A little boring for a legendary, but I imagine it will pack a bit of a punch when included in a shaman deck with a lot of face damage nature spells.
New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer
I imagine this will find a place in some priest or paladin deck, although that will depend entirely on how many holy spells there are.

Good luck everyone. I'm hyped for the coming expansion.
