5 mana 5/5 beast: rush overkill: deal excess damage to the enemy hero.
fixed for you blizzard.
They probably didn't want to bring back Overkill since this would literally be the only card in standard with that keyword, making it kind of pointless as a keyword.
I do agree though that it would be kind of cool if they brought back keywords from older expansions every now and then.
Fits really well in Embiggen druid in standard, and it fits in Kael'thas Sunstrider Druid. Seems like a solid card. Weak on first glance, strong when you look at the synergy. (Mainly when buffed by Survival of the Fittest.
Standard: Kael'thas Sunstrider Druid, and maybe spell based token druid decks? But those prefer little to no minions...
Wild: Not sure what kinda deck you want to slot this in. Cards like this have always been good in wild, but i'm just unsure as to what kind of deck wants this. OTK druid really doesn't want this, because its bad with Juicy Psychmelon.
Super-secret sauce: You can't destroy Tad's Pole with Acidic Swamp Ooze or cards like that. It'll just come back into play. However, you can destroy it with Imprisoned Gan'arg, at least for one turn. Tad's Pole isn't reequipped until the end of the turn, so they only get a 3/1 weapon AND they miss one summon.
This brawl is super fun by the way, and I'm glad to see an oldie brought back.
3 mana summon two 2/2s is already a card, and it isn't played much outside of token druid. If you can corrupt it then it is pretty good for a token based deck that can utilize the wide board and also loves the cheap draw. But if you are playing a token based strategy, the corrupt may be a bit clunky to trigger.
Interesting card. good stats for it's cost and can keep growing. This will either be a bad card, or a card people sleep on. But time will tell i guess.
Standard: Will maybe see play in Aggro DH. But that's it i guess.
Wild: Wont see play, unless you count the meme deck EVEN DH. But i think that even that great meme deck doesn't want it.
20 bucks for the new tavern pass? Yeah, I'll pass thank you very much. Considering that we're staring at mid expansions from now on, is 20 bucks really a justifiable price for something that gives you no other competitive advantage but 10% extra xp? I'll let the many resident mathematicians in Hearthstone to do the math, but for now, absolutely not.
Looking forward to the new system. I guess we still have 1 extra day to do the quests before the revamp
I know right ... lets make keywords and never re-use them ... and also remove some of the established ones, because they are too confusing ... Enrage'ing, really
Even with how easy it can be to get the discounts, I don't think this will see play. Maybe in spell-based Token decks to more keep up board control, but idk, I'm not impressed on initial looks.
New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner
Well good luck playing around any secret now. The variance and design of them is just crazy, and this just adds morw confusion.

New Mage Minion - Firework Elemental
Its a corrupted Meteor on a stick !
Also an elemental, which is explosive

Man, Confection Cyclone is probably my favorite card in terms of hilarity and flavor. Love it!
New Hunter Spell - Open the Cages
Always like seeing new Animal Companion cards. Seems a bit too tricky to pull off though.

New Rogue Minion - Sweet Tooth
There's potential, just because Stealth is so uninteractive, and 5 damage is quite a lot after all.
New Warrior Minion - Bumper Car
same stats as Redband Wasp 1/3 just doens't clear anything.. people are not playing 2/1 one drops!
New Mage Spell - Mask of C'Thun
Is that how Flamestrike looks by 2020's (7) mana standard?
New Warrior Spell - Minefield
An all around solid card. Nice!
New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra
I don't think this will get run in Standard since it doesn't have inherent synergy with things, but it seems like a strong card in arena.
New Hunter Minion - Trampling Rhino
Me go face when me trade? With Rush? Definitely could see play.
New Warrior Spell - Minefield
Dyn-o-matic effect but no body.. it's probably solid specially if stealth rogue is around.
Hearthstone Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Final Card Reveal Stream Live Recap - All New Cards
Its actually a good warrior card. But only as a choice discover. Otherwise I really can't see anyone putting this card unironically into their deck.
New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner
Secret Plan with a body, this seems nuts. Not like oppressive nuts, but nuts as in it will probably be run in every Hunter deck until it rotates.
New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner
Pretty decent (1) drop that generates just a little more secrecy in your sneaky build.
Will see play, for sure
Gone Fishin'

New Warrior Minion - Stage Hand
We saw a same card that buffs a beast in hunter saw 0 play.. not valuable enough in constructed.
New Druid Minion - Faire Arborist
3 mana summon two 2/2s is already a card, and it isn't played much outside of token druid.

New Druid Spell - Moontouched Amulet
A bit better than Bite, even if you don't get the armor off, 4 damage for 3 mana is still a decent deal.

I am completely underwhelmed by Carnival Clown on paper too. I guess time will tell.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Redeemed Pariah
Interesting card. good stats for it's cost and can keep growing. This will either be a bad card, or a card people sleep on. But time will tell i guess.
Standard: Will maybe see play in Aggro DH. But that's it i guess.
Wild: Wont see play, unless you count the meme deck EVEN DH. But i think that even that great meme deck doesn't want it.
