Why are they so intent on reducing the number of players in the newest format? Heroic Duels are awesome but I'm getting 2 minute queue times whenever I get above 4 wins and that sucks. I'm facing the same player 2 games in a row at least every other run and that sucks. The 150 gold entry fee is a barrier to entry and the treasures being locked makes that worse. 

I'm excited for the new stuff but the first thing that comes to mind is the negative. Blizz Please. :(

Awesome, more libram paladin strong cards /s

Not removing Kadgar... :(

Greybough could be very interesting with reborn and token stuff. Looking forward to trying him.

So basically the only reason it's a Battlecry instead of just printing it as a 4/6 vanilla is to make it suck if it's summoned rather than played.

At first I assumed it can survive if it's the only minion left on the board, but indeed the phrasing is different from Deathwing and from Warmaul Challenger, so now I'm not sure. The card would be a lot better if the minion always dies.

Mixed messages, printing this and Deathwarden in the same set.

Explosive Trap thinks this is cute.

If you Deathspeaker a 1/1 and cast Hysteria on it, it will clear the whole board, right?

This is enough to bring Freeze Mage back for sure. And yes, it absolutely is worth playing with Ray of Frost, or any other Freeze card you care to name, because it's a 1/3 body in addition to the damage, all for just 1 mana -- AND it can hit face.

Obviously, you need multiple Freeze effects in your deck, not just one spell, but I'd think that goes without saying.

I was thinking Soulbound Ashtongue + Deathspeaker + Treachery + Hysteria, but that wouldn't even work because if Ashtongue is immune the damage will be reduced to zero.

Your combo seems feasible though and not that hard to assemble.

Note that it costs (5) or more, so it's even better than it looks, which is already very, very good!

I knew there was going to be some Libram hate in the set!

This may be more impactful than other tech cards have been. There aren't a lot of decks that run zero Deathrattle.

Will that make a wild OTK at 10 mana with Zephris + that 6 mana mage dragon ? 

It's the token from the hero power.

can u OTK for 8 mana with wretched tiller + deathspeaker + lazul's scheme the tiller to 0 attack + this?

Wait I am confused, why does priest have an extra treasure?

I had to pop over here quick to see if I was the only one whose eyes popped at this. I'm not. This is great for both classes. 

or Harrison Jones since Sticky Fingers rotates next set...

We are going to be seeing a lot of this card.

Paying 3 to draw 3 is exceptionally good, and is the damage really a drawback? Considering that Warlock has been historically fine with paying 2 Mana to take two damage and draw one card, I think that Gul'dan will be more than happy to draw two more cards for only one more Mana and damage.

Since Backfire itself is also a card, you're effectively drawing just one more than the hero power. That's probably still worth it, but it's a modest rather than a huge upgrade over the hero power.

In Wild, this upgrades the Spellstone, while the hero power does not. The Standard self-damage cards that you listed don't care though whether the damage source is a card or the hero power.

It might also be useful if you run Bloodreaver Gul'dan and want to have card draw afterwards. Usually games end pretty quickly after playing the DK, but if you're already running Backfire because of the Spellstone, it's a nice bonus.

I wonder if this will find a spot in Odd Warrior in wild.

May see play in some highlander or big pala.
But it seems too expensive and in dif of other corrup cards I don't think you ever want to drop this without lifeasteal, you could but the situation mostly sucked anyway.

Seriously, could have been blank. DH always attacks.
