You definitely run this just for the great tempo swings, even if you aren't planning on having big combos like Kronx Dragonhoof in your deck.
I don't think anyone here has made the mistake, but to reiterate because you saw a lot of it if you checked other (less clever than us, clearly =P) places - you aren't doing a Malygos combo with this. It doesn't work. Remove that idea from your mind.
it seems that secret mage in going to have almost an excess of card draw, with this and Sage. I think that allows it to have a very low curve, which could be cool. Idk just a realization I had while thinking about this card. Good card will be run in secret mage and maybe highlander if aggro is a bit less relevant.
Considering all of the cards in this set, I don't think there are enough ways to cheat out big minions to make a Maxima Blastenheimer deck consistent enough. There aren't enough good big minions as well as enough minion summon spells and good weapons to make the Big Hunter deck akin to something like Spell Hunter of old. Maybe Maxima will work in the future with more support.
If you discover libraam of hope it's a 9 heal + 8 of the card... I think that can see play, maybe not with that meta, but maybe with the next rotation.
You'd think this would be good, but look at a Demon Hunter list and tell me what card you're cutting for this. Being a decent card just isn't enough when it comes to that class, which already has great healing and damage output.
Maybe if Demon Hunter had some sort of Spell Damage focus at some point in the future this would see play. As-is you might see it from random generation - a poor option from Wandmaker, though I suppose not the worst you could get.
I think a lot of people underestimate this card because they immediately look to how much value they can get from the Deathrattle. By itself it's a 5 mana 4/6 Taunt, which is not a bad card at all. The fact that it could be a recurring problem for your opponent is practically just bonus - a fantastic bonus, but not by any means the only thing you should be focusing on.
Corrupt makes this sort of "eh" but if you can consistently get this corrupted, then equip Trueaim Crescent and drop Ace Hunter Kreen alongside this cobra, you have a solid big threat clear. Convoluted, but if those cards can work without each other in a deck, they'll come together nicely alongside a solid deck.
I love Secrets, so any more added to the pool is a great addition to the game for me. I'm not convinced this is actually that good a card, but it being a Secret will at least force your opponent into awkward situations as they try to play around whatever other Secrets it could be too, which makes it a far, far better card than Sanctuary was.
excellent card. The threat of this encourages suboptimal secret triggers, and to avoid secrets or fail to trigger them allows for two to three 3/3's that you have to deal with next turn.
Possible synergy with Tundra Rhino, but that seems too specific to rely on for now.
Yes, this was confirmed by Celestalon on Twitter here! In that example he's talking about the other way around, but explains that yes, it's whatever the current mana cost of a card is that matters for Corruption purposes.
He also confirmed that when a card Corrupts it won't lose any buffs or mana cost reductions, so no fear there!
This is extremely good. Two random and free secrets and you still get to swing for 2 damage?
Not as slow as it seems. This can act as a soft tech depending on your secret RNG: an extra freezing or misdirection can often win games, and the synergy with Petting Zoo is awesome.

Cheap heal+discover a spells.

ok thanks! it is good to know buff are kept too.
Don't Feed the Animals
Eh, this is OK but I don't know how impactful it will be. Maybe a solid setup for a lethal combo with Rhino and Wolf x2 + Wolpertinger?

Pipe dream, but worth considering just in case!

New Hunter Minion - Maxima Blastenheimer
Which deathrattle Hunter deck will this fit into I wonder?
New Warrior Spell - Minefield
Great effect on weak body.
New Warrior Minion - Stage Hand
Hand buff is too weak nowadays.
New Priest Spell - Palm Reading
Great addition for Spell Priest.
New Priest Minion - Nazmani Bloodweaver
Interesting, but too slow IMO.
Petting Zoo

New Priest Spell - Insight
Obviously meant for Combo Priest, I wonder which combo though.
New Neutral Minion - Gyreworm
Crappy stats for its effect.
New Priest Minion - G'huun the Blood God
Wrong class!
New Warlock Minion - Ring Matron
Well balanced stats, I like it.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Expendable Performers
Insane value if you manage to pull it off once.
New Shaman Spell - Stormstrike
Intended usage with the new Shaman legendary, will see some play together.
