These treasures and hero powers look really spicy, but holy hell, that paywall is HUGE.
To have the dual-class signature treasure, you'll need at least 1 of every non-legendary Darkmoon Faire card AND 9 legendaries on top of that. That's like a double preorder requirement.
We're sorry to hear that. We were trying something new, since our team has grown, so we can push out our initial thoughts more promptly, tho cards came first, so that's why there were placeholders for the reviews at first, of course. Your feedback is noted.
/edit: well, it seems that Flux basically echoed my sentiment, or I his :)
This has nothing to do with ads. If I wanted to push more ads, we would have made individual articles for each card reveal and then done separate articles for each class and their spoilers. (In-article ads are certainly nice, but they are nothing compared to what we have in the header that everyone sees on a page load). Hell, we woulda gotten better SEO if we divided stuff up better too!
The reason for this format was primarily because space for content is going to be very tight over the next couple of days so by including our thoughts now, it lets us save that space for other articles that are planned. It's also a nice little test to see what people think about it. If it's popular, we'll maybe attempt to do the same thing during an actual reveal season. We have so many more staff members now that it makes doing real-time reviews easier.
We will be doing a full recap of the mini set a little later today which will have the cards in a more normal gallery format organized by class which will feel less chaotic.
I was expecting a new corrupt card for priest after seeing that card on promotional video. But no one is revealed.
Priest loves to play slow cards and that allows you to get 7 mana clowns or 1 mana fool. Time will tell us if is enought to be good, I'll test It for sure.
New Hunter Spell - Bola Shot
Shooting Star's cousin.
Hearthstone Duels Is Getting 10 New Hero Powers, 25 Signature Treasures (Including Dual-Class), and 6 New Regular Treasures
After 6 wins, Green Tortollan Shell might becomes Blue Tortollan Shell?
Libram of Judgment
Gets progressively easier to corrupt as the game goes on. Will probably see some level of play.
New Paladin Weapon - Libram of Judgment
Gets progressively easier to corrupt as the game goes on. Will probably see some level of play.

Ironclad
Definitely a great card. Armor is almost always up early game so this is great on curve.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Felsaber
Is that effect even negative in DH?
New Warrior Minion - Ironclad
Almost guaranteed to proc the battlecry.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Illidari Studies
Incredible, since all cards that appear this way will have the outcast on.

Question: if we leave a heroic duels run midway, will it automatically end it arena style? Because I have a 9-2 run saved up right now.
The Final 7 Darkmoon Faire Mini Set Card Reveals - Priest Legendary, Paladin Weapon Libram, Deathrattle Disabling, and More!
It's a weapon, not a spell.
New Neutral Minion - Runaway Blackwing
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza buff?

Love the reference!
5 More Darkmoon Faire Mini Set Card Reveals - Demon Hunters, Aggressive Murloc, Warlock Card Draw, Regular Hysteria
it is just slightly better Arcane Intellect... DH can draw 4 cards for just 3 mana...
New Druid & Hunter Spell - Resizing Pouch
This seems really good, at least the pool of all those bad neutral cards will nerf it's effect a bit.
New Druid & Shaman Spell - Guidance
The cost doesn't seem that high, also you can just avoid the overload if one of the two cards is really bad.
The Final 7 Darkmoon Faire Mini Set Card Reveals - Priest Legendary, Paladin Weapon Libram, Deathrattle Disabling, and More!
Consider that Lady Liadrin will bring back the Corrupted version and not the regular one, which is even more impressive.
Brain fart, don't mind me.
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Felfire Deadeye
This will get nerfed because of DH.
New Warrior Minion - Ironclad
Baku's new buddy.
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Imprisoned Phoenix
This looks really threatening, most dormant cards seem even less a threat since they can't attack in the same turn, but this card threat is instant.
New Priest Minion - Dark Inquisitor Xanesh

New Mage Spell - Conjure Mana Biscuit
Combo's gotta combo. Also this card made me hungry.
New Shaman Minion - Mistrunner
mmm doesn't seem bad but it seems a bit costy having even overload.
Not sure where it would see play, maybe in a dif smork shaman than evolve shaman.
