Compare this to Rin, the First Disciple which was played in some reno warlock decks. This is a lot better, they both come out late but you don’t need to play so many weak cards to get it and you weren’t discarding more than 10 cards with Azari, the Devourer when you got to play him.
Was planning to make that exact switch as well.
Combine this with the new Y'Shaarj and you can burn 10 cards even in Standard. I'm a little bit worried on the balance side of things, and wouldn't be surprised to see this nerfed eventually. Maybe corrupting it will turn out to be harder than I think.
Okay so paladin secrets often don't see that much play, but i feel like this one might actually see play. This can prevent your board from getting cleared by something like Holy Nova, but it's still a random effect. So it could "Counterspell" a Holy Nova, and turn it into a Hellfire. (i'm guessing the random spell is from ANY class btw. Wouldn't make sense otherwise, considering it's our lord and savior Yogg-saron.)
Standard: Might see play in this new Dude paladin deck, and maybe their pushing secret paladin again? Secret paladin is still horrible though.
Wild: I was considering if it fits in ODD Paladin, but i think not. They do run secrets like Avenge, because it gives buffs. But i don't think it wants this kinda effect. But i do guess some of them will experiment with it at the very least. Oh My Yogg! will see play in some kind of secret paladin though. That deck might not be that good, but it might be fun to play.
Very polarized early opinions on this, and I can understand why. It's really hard to evaluate if the corruption is really worth it, and I'm currently among the non-believers. Too big requirement for too little reward.
There might be a chance for some sort of Maxima Blastenheimer - Deathrattle Hunter in Standard after all. Unlikely more efficient than Face Hunter though.
Void contract but with a strong body attached. Maybe enough that combo decks really will have a hard time from now on, but I doubt it. Interesting card, but only useful as tech against maybe mecha'thun, not much else. I think Dirty Rat is better in most cases,
Unless there's a real benefit to playing secrets in paladin, this will never see play. And even then I still don't think it'll ever see play.
Its only niche is to deny corrupt spell value from your opponent, and cthun pieces. But any good player would've spotted that from miles away anyway. In any case, why would any person put this in their deck competitively is an exclamation worthy of the card's name.
Does it still target the same thing? I would think it has random targets like any other random spell. I am not sure if this will see play or not since, while it does disrupt your opponents plan, it also makes chaos happen. And chaos is really hard to utilize. It's an okay card, but I don't see it being played a whole lot.
Does potentially getting a 7-drop out one turn earlier than you should make up for the potential lowroll on the said 7-drop? For me personally, it doesn't.
Paladin secrets are often baffling, but this one makes absolutely no sense flavorwise.
In any case, the potential of this card to completely screw you is about the same as when you decide to put this card into your deck. Just not really worth it really. A poor man's Counterspell, like really poor.

New Paladin Spell - Oh My Yogg!
Alright, so first of all: I LOVE THAT NAME! Such a good spin on "oh my god".
Second of all: IMPOSSIBLE. THE Yogg-Saron, Hope's End trowback card (just like how Jewel of N'Zoth is a trowback to N'Zoth, the Corruptor) is for PALADIN?!? NOT for MAGE? What blasphemy is this? 1 star design. (Just joking.)

SHENANIGANS !
New Shaman Minion - Magicfin
Maybe good in Murloc Shaman as a way to transition against control decks? It has at least premium stats, so that might be enough get it run.
New Warlock Spell - Cascading Disaster
For those that didn't watch the video, the story in the cards' art is good:

The flavor is real, the playability is not. Pack filler memes.

Kinda bad... while it disrupts it doesn't like fully disrupt, that random other spell might still benefit opponent....

I read tickatus as removing your opponents whole deck when corrupted. Thought. Thats strong... Reading is overrated

Disrruption cards are really good.
And that one costs just 1 mana.
5/5

It's somekind of Counterspell but synergyzing pretty weird with Commander Rhyssa
New Demon Hunter Minion - Insatiable Felhound
I'm expecting it will resummon corrupted minions in the form they were played, they are different cards and not buffed ones after all.
