I already hate face hunter... knowing that 3 more [Hearthstone Card (leper gnomes) Not Found] are coming at me AGAIN late game just makes me want to rage quit. Thankfully, it is such a high cost, it probably won't be viable in Standard. Wild Deathrattle Hunter however....
I doubt 8m summon 3 leper gnomes is something to worry about against face hunter
Uncorrupted it's a 4 mana Assassinate, and if you play a few more expansive cards it's going to remove even more stuff. Seems pretty good, even uncorrupted. Seems like a good control/OTK warlock card, because those decks love removal. And Cascading Disaster is pretty good uncorrupted as well. It's not that hard to be in a situation where your opponent only has 1 threat on board.
Standard: I'm sure OTK Warlock and controllock will probably use it, however i feel like Cascading Disaster won't see play in warlock decks with Deck of Chaos, because the goal of that deck is to make as many as possible cards cheap...
Wild: this card might see play in Cubelock and renolock. Those decks have some expensive cards so it's easy to corrupt it.
In all seriousness I think this is a very strong card. At it's base, it is very similar to Tar Creeper. Not terribly powerful, but it can delay aggro. But once it is corrupted, you should be able to block 1-2 attacks, gain 3-6 life, and possibly kill one of your opponents minions. If you can corrupt this, any aggro deck will be sent very far behind unless they have some form of removal or silence to get past this.
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.
a 3 mana 4/3 weapon is super strong. That is 12 damage over the course of three turns. And you probably won't mind waiting for this to be corrupted since demon hunters will have a lot to do in the early turns anyway. All around this seems like a generally strong card, I expect this to be played in a lot of demon hunter decks moving forward.
Obviously, summoning a 7-cost minion for 4 mana is incredible value. The question is whether or not you are running enough 5+ cost cards to justify this, and still want a beefy minion. If you are playing a slow control deck, then getting one good tempo play isn't going to do a whole lot to progress your game plan. And if you are playing an aggro deck, your curve will probably be too low. So is there going to be a strong mid-range priest deck that will be able to corrupt this consistently and maximize use of this powerful tempo play? I don't know.
The likelihood of casting an 8 cost card with this in your hand, or holding onto it to be able to cast it for free is going to be rough. BUT... if you should so happen to do it, having a free 6/6 taunter on deck isn't a bad thing. If you should so happen to have a Twisting Nether in your hand along with this, remove the board, then drop this... that's awesome. That is one hell of a set up though.

This reminds me of Anubisath Defender or Arcane Tyrant, both of which saw a moderate amount of play. This can be a good followup to a board clear, or can help add a lot extra pressure to your other big board swinging plays. If you can consistently play big cards, I don't see why you wouldn't want this. I don't think it will be played a whole lot, but I will be greatly surprised if this doesn't end up seeing play somewhere.
I'm guessing Warlock is heading towards Control based decks with the cards they will receive from this expansion. Especially with the corrupt mechanics. Warlock does have early and late removal cards too, so it's possible. How possible though idk but It will be interesting to try out.
Seems like a really situational card, but i feel like it's going to be a must-include in Y'Shaarj, the Defiler decks because of the free 7 drops. Also in priest it's very easy to corrupt this, as priest generally has multiple big removal spells or they have Galakrond in hand, ready to be played on turn 7. (And the obvious turn 5 Convincing Infiltrator) Now that i think about it, Auspicious Spirits reminds me a lot of Free From Amber, which was often a must include back when it was in standard. Sure Auspicious Spirits summons a random 7 drop instead of a discovered 8 drop, but at least Auspicious Spirits can be played multiple times from Y'Shaarj, the Defiler.
Wild: Not sure if it's that good. Ress/Big priest doesn't want this as it's too inconsistant, but i feel like Raza priest might experiment with it at the very least. But i feel like they will drop the card after a few days and pretent it doesn't exist.
That is ridiculous. You hold onto it for a turn that you could realistically cast a 6 cost minion... and get a 7 cost minion for a substantially discounted rate? Thankfully it's totally RNG and not Discover. That would have made this broken..
Can we get Mythgard button on top of the site like we have for Hearthstone, Runeterra and MTGA right now?
I (and probably other people) play more than one game and I also play Mythgard. With that fast click you can filter information about one game. There is no filter for Mythgard and in moments like this (big changes to Runeterra and Hearthstone) its hard to navigate and find news about Mythgard.
I had just this situation today, I seen glimpse of information that there is something new about Mythgard but when I had time to read it couple of hours later it was harder to find it between all those new Hearthstone cards :) It's not big issue, I can use my eyes to find it sooner or later but this would be healpfull.

This is a lot of value for one card. Obviously, N'zoth is a very powerful card which still sees a ton of play in wild. I see no reason why this spell shouldn't also be included in a lot of decks.

The more I see of these corrupt cards, I am liking them. This is another great example of how a smaller minion drawn mid-late game can still be quite a valuable asset. Playing something else instead of this that costs more to ramp it up to 3/6 lifestealing minion for 3?!?! That is a bargain at any rate.

Very interesting. The way corrupt interacts with odd/even decks makes this unlikely for odd DH, but it definitely has potential.

New Priest Spell - Auspicious Spirits
Turn 6 7 drop i guess? Lemme check 7 drops real quick....
Best pulls in standard are: Keymaster Alabaster, Skeletal Dragon and Evasive Drakonid.
Best pulls (including the standard cards) in wild are: Confessor Paletress and Prophet Velen.
Worst pulls in standard are: Barrens Stablehand, Silas Darkmoon and Chef Nomi.
Worst pulls (including the standard cards) in wild are: Azalina Soulthief, Corridor Creeper and Darkmire Moonkin.
Situationally bad or good cards: Baron Geddon and in wild: Chillmaw.
