This will look really stupid if they decide to not include Auctioneer in the core set.

Either way, the trend of no context 0-mana Priest spells continues. Maybe in 3 years we'll get a payoff

Decent Card - nothing more to add :)

Interesting card, and synergises well with Nazmani Bloodweaver for mana cheating and IF Gadgetzan Auctioneer is still in the core set Desperate Prayer might make that mana cheat C'Thun, the Shattered deck viable. (Lets hope not, it feels really bad to play against.) I hope that it doesn't synergise with Auchenai Soulpriest and stuff, because that would be a lame way to re-introduce shadow priest.

Standard: Depending on if Gadgetzan Auctioneer is in the core set, it will be in mana cheat C'Thun, the Shattered priest. Or otherwise it will be in some different mana cheat priest deck with Nazmani Bloodweaver.

Wild: If Gadgetzan Auctioneer isn't in core, but in the legacy set. Then that deck will be played by a few people in wild. Majority probably keeps playing Raza Priest though... :P

Nice neutral Handbuff. I think this could be a card lots of players will underestimate - or at least i hope so because i always kinda liked handbuff stuff :) 

Well this could be very strong depending on what spells will be Nature-Spells. So far i think this could be very strong.

Good for Arena - i guess decent for standard but not sure tough. Looks ok but depending on what decks will emerge out of the New Expansion and stuff this could be better then expected.

Dire Mole at worst, an escalating threat at best.

Probably not gonna be used for its intended effect (especially since in Midrange Hunter you kinda don't want some vanilla statted dino in the later stage but rather some bigger or stickier stuff)

Still a good sign for a return to Midrange Beast Hunter (I can't even tell you how tired I am of seeing only Highlander Hunters)

Wow - strong card. Works as Hard Removal for Druid i guess.

Our first impression is that it may see some experimentation for drawing C'Thun, the Shattered's pieces,

unquote

this can be very risky: you need to have a 1 mana card to play immediately, otherwise the next card will be destroyed and can be a piece of C'Thun ...

I think this card will be in almost every hunter deck.

Good Stats for 1 Mana and the ability is pretty good too.

Quote From Tumbleweedovski

Will The Marsh Queen finally be viable?

No, this pretty much worse than Raptor Hatchling in Wild

I think this will be an amazing card for hunter, because it's effect is easy to trigger and it has premium 1 drop stats. The only bad thing about Sunscale Raptor is that it needs a lot of draw, which hunters often lack.

Standard: Will see play in Aggro/FACE Hunter because it's a good 1 drop, and it MIGHT see play in some kind of memey Sunscale Raptor deck which would function kinda like Pogo Rogue.

Wild: Even though Hunters in Wild are very rare, i think this will certainly fit in The Marsh Queen hunter, and maybe replace Raptor Hatchling in that deck. (But honestly both might be core cards.) Luckely Sunscale Raptor only shuffles another Sunscale Raptor into your deck, imagine if it shuffled a buffed version of a Zombeast from Deathstalker Rexxar into their deck.. (Thank yogg they thought about that.)

Looks pretty fantastic for ramp Druid. It's basically an easy way to catch up after ramping with Overgrowth on 4. You run this into whatever it can survive and you just removed a minion while putting a fat taunt in the way.

On the flipside opponents can play around it by building a high attack threat that it can't trade into and live

wouldn't that make her way too good in Paladin though? Her main strength is drawing and casting a buff from your deck with the worst outcomes being First Day of School and Libram of Justice.

With those two eliminated she would be a 4-mana (assumign 0-cost activator) 4/7 at worst with exclusively amazing other outcomes

Pretty sure this is entirely justified.

They only use for her way always going to be highrolling on turn 4 and winning the game from there, it just happens that Tip the Scales was the most consistent way to highroll. It's not like Libram Paladin was any more fair with a turn 4 8/8 with taunt and divine shield (it just wasn't guaranteed to happen).

I'm assuming Cheese Pally just fades away now and Libram Pally just cuts her entirely (or she's just used for draw)

Can please all you dibshit Secret Mages, Big/Raza Priests and Odd Pallys get out the game? Yeah you cool, you play the best Meta Decks and the best in the world! We get it! Your Emote-Game is strong and your skill is outta this world! 

Great card. Druid needed some HARD removal, even though hard removal is something that supposed to be druids weakness. It's also a beast, so it can get ressurected by N'Zoth, God of the Deep. Druid of the Plains kinda reminds me of Siamat, it's great removal and pretty flexible. (For multiple druid decks.)

Standard: I think Druid of the Plains will see play in N'Zoth, God of the Deep druid deck, or Clown Druid.

Wild: Not sure if it will see any play. The most popular druid decks in wild are Token Druid and Malygos OTK Druid, and Malygos OTK Druid doesn't want Druid of the Plains because it messes up Juicy Psychmelon pulls? (Not familiar with the deck, so i'm not 100% sure about that.)

I think the best way to look at the value of a random attack would be Imprisoned Felmaw, which is fairly strong despite being on a 2-turn delay. This runs into the problem that it costs a lot more for an effect that is not a lot better.

I imagine that any frenzy synergy will probably be more based around triggering it easily than letting you refresh frenzy on your minions. I don't think they've ever printed an effect that replenishes 1-time effects.

I see and somewhat agree with what you mean about lack of utility without spells, but they could have designed something far more interesting or powerful (while basic, of course) than a +1 attack buff. It's a disappointing change, flavorfully and powerfully. 

System of a Down is a good band.

Pretty sure I see Eudora in the key art (bottom right).

Pls, will be free and no payment shit. Or like duels. Free and other is with payment.

I don t want rewards, i want good rogue-like mode like dungeon run was. 

Also, if it will cost something it will be another bullet for economy. In announce of year of the gryffin there are 3 mini sets. 6k gold+ min. And new bp system now not so good. You actually again in the same spot as was...

Simple but cool...I think?

I cannot speak for everyone, but for me there are 3 reasons:

1. It's the fourth non-Malfurion druid hero, and as much as I welcome a tauren hero, it was never going to be as interesting as a second non-Valeera rogue hero.
2. Iksar had made it clear we were getting a tauren soon, so there wasn't much surprise excitement.
3. It got leaked ahead of time, so a lot of the interest was soaked up by the article covering the leak.

Arm of the Empire is now broken beyond repair. Especially in early elemental builds.
