Just as FrostyFeet said, I'm actually quite eager to see if this replaces Steward of Darkshire in Odd Pally. Honestly, I think it will; I'd happily pay the 1-Health tax if it means summoning larger 1-Health minions.
Only downside is that it's weaker to drop solo, but you weren't really doing that with Steward anyway. Maybe find a way to run this alongside Steward? Tough call.
Hey, finally we're getting the 1-Health support card for which we are waiting since Saviors of Uldum. Do you remember, when Salhet's Pride, Brazen Zealot and Sandwasp Queen where released? Everyone thought there will be a card in the set that supports this. There has never been any - until now.
Even with Hero Power, the worst of all combos, this is a 5 mana 5/5. With 1x Air Raid (or Odd Hero Power!), this is 5 mana 7/8. With Day at the Faire, it's 6 mana 9/11, if upgraded, 13/17.
KANSAS: This is way better! Pseudo-draw which honors Hunter's traditional weakness in this area is a very nice idea!
Shaveyou: It's a really cool idea. The one issue I have with your card is that the second part of the battlecry of the Hero card is identical with the Hero Power.
DavnanKillder: The idea is okay-is, but I think the Hero Power is too close to the new Shaman legendary.
Dreams: Nice to have you here! I don't want to be too harsh, but this is the most OP card I've seen in a while. I'm fine with healing 10, but dealing 10 damage to all enemies is way too strong, just like the Hero Power. Tinkering with Divine Shield is a nice idea in general, but this is just too much.
Yeah.... Blizzard destroyed the Score of my Shaman Hero with the new legendaey hahahahha.
Well, I think I will continue with the Aegwynn. Made some changes, the battlecry now deal 2 instead of 3 damage per Secret, has 5 armor and draw a card in the HP If the Secret cap is achieved (nowadays Mage thent to have less heal/armor gain and draw seemed better flavor to me)
Did anyone genuinely enjoy playing against this toxic type of paladin which plays a lot of small guys that most classes have no answers to? How are decks going to clear a constant influx of divine shield dudes, or dudes with 2/3 stats? As if paladin was not busted enough already, now we have this...
All three are very much what shaman is becoming; can't draw for shit, can't generate for shit, and stuck with gimmicks all round. So well rounded are their core cards it makes paladin look broken.
So what have we here then? Two dubiously useless cards, and one very nice and powerful legendary that will never live up to its potential.
Cagematch Custodian looks very strong, but the only weapon you'd ever want tutored is either Doomhammer or The Fist of Ra-den, of which both aren't going to set the tent on fire anytime soon. So no tempo here.
Whack-A-Gnoll Hammer would've been THE card if it were 2 mana. But sadly it ain't. So it doesn't curve into Deathmatch Pavilion, and shaman have to actually stick a board to enjoy its benefits. Its not really that bad, but its a fair card. And fair cards don't usually make the cut. Neither will this, in my opinion.
Inara Stormcrash will never be a finisher. There's just no good weapons for shaman to ever make the windfury do more than 10 damage without also something like Rockbiter Weapon. In many cases, if its a finisher you want, doomhammer does the job better. So the best thing would be this gets down on 5, you kill 2 minions with your face, and then pray to the gods that she survives until the next turn. Kinda makes Dragonbane look godlike, doesn't it?
Its disappointing to be honest. Had there at least been a 4 mana 4/3 weapon for shaman, even without any added effects, inara would've made it to the top. But it was not to be at the end. Well, here's hoping for the mid expansion upgrades then.
Visions of me wasting my ranks to make galakrond malygos rogue work comes back to mind. I may actually do it again, just because of this card.
Its a nice little inclusion, but will only seriously save you from classes that are not hunter. Outside of combo, I can't see this card ever working. At least with something like Time Out! you'd get to attack out without taking damage, or draw out all your bombs. And since rogue also plays the tempo game, what's stopping them from just taking down your board, of which without you'd not stand much chance anyway.

It's an easy way to save up to 25% off Hearthstone packs so you can get into the new expansion without worrying about your wallet too much. We've got a detailed guide on how to Get Started with Amazon Coins, but if you've already dealt with them in the past, you can buy some more by clicking right here.
Claw Machine is a tad slow honestly. At 6, you'd probably want to start swinging boards every turn if possible. This one will mostly just trade with another minion, and since that +3+3 effect is not a tutored one, you'd probably just end up with a big minion that will not end the game or save you from dying.
Palm Reading on the other hand is a worthy card to be included into priest right now. Its flexibility is already powerful, the fact that it also discounts your spells is a very nice bonus and makes it more difficult to corner priest by reading its numerous answers
The new system will be introduced on tomorrow's prepatch, won't it? Then we have time until next day 19:00 CET, 1pm EST, right? That's when updates usually go on the launcher. Can we complete tomorrow's quest before that time?
