The only classes that don't have both legendaries revealed are Warlock and Priest. At most we'll see one more (unless Warlock gets two), but maybe they're still saving them for the 35 card supplemental set they're releasing later.
EDIT: I forgot Shaman exists. So, it's entirely possible.
Card like this makes me wonder, what is the point of playing "Constructed" deck if they keep printing cards like this.
Ok, since the most useful thing from this card is to discount big random spells, then we need to create a bunch of small spells into the deck, but also knowing that those spells also need to be use to win? because there's a small chance this card ended up in the bottom deck.
Hunter secrets have always been strong and annoying to deal with so this weapon is going the right way. It does seem a little too expensive, and having only 2 attack condemns it slightly since its unlikely to be able to kill anything without support. Its also a weapon, which means its always under threat of ooze, and competition; hunter's other weapons not being slouches themselves.
Still, having the option to discover two secrets is not to be ignored.
Essentially with Shadowstep in hand you can bonce anything for another battlecry trigger for a mere 1 mana.
Its just a versatile and strong card, and will definitely see play. Right out of the bat Kronx seems to be the best target for this card. There may be better ones down the line.
Spell mage, aka no minion, will be playing this, it's very random, but I like it anyway
It's actually not all that random, especially at the high end.
I think Regis Killbin was annoyed about this card (given his tone and the title of his video), but he also noted that he hadn't really studied the Mage spell list to see how things might pan out.
Turns out, you will always get Blizzard from your 3-costs and always get Flamestrike from your 4-costs (unless they release more 6- and 7-cost spells this expansion). Your 5-costs will become one of two possible spells (and it really doesn't matter too much which one you get), there are no 9-cost spells, so Blizzard won't change, and there are only two 10-costs -- Pyroblast and Puzzle Box. So really the only nail-biter is the last one.
If you're running Flamestrike in a deck with Deck of Lunacy, you're probably the kind of person who was already jamming Puzzle Box into every Mage deck anyway, which is why I think the overall effect of this card on the meta will not be all that random.
It doesn't specify "Mage spells" though like other Mage cards that only generate Mage spells.
So I'm pretty sure you can get spells from other classes from this.
It seems like it requires too much setup for it to be extremely good, although Mage has quite a few good Secrets and also ways to generate them, so it'll definitely see some experimentation at the very least.
Umm, yeah, I have enough problems dealing with buffed silver hand recruits combined with Steward of Darkshire, and that requires the minion to be on the board to give the effect. This card just gives divine shield automatically after it's played. I still say it's pretty strong in the right wild combo.
This feels like a card with a pretty good effect, but with reasonable, reachable ways for your opponent to play around it.
Which typically means that they won't see play. XD - It can be good for decks that like to have a lot of small minions (which Druid does well), and it works with Hadronox and original N'Zoth. It seems like a strong, but balanced and fair card. Which again, typically means that it won't see play, lol. But it seems like it has a decent chance. If half-stars were a thing, I'd probably rate it 3.5.
Its more comparable to brann honestly, even down to the effective cost of having your battlecry trigger twice.
Combos well enough with Shadowstep. There's definitely a lot you can do with this card, and it wouldn't surprise me if it sees play until it rotates from standard.
This card seems quite strong. It's worse than Shadowstep on small minions, but it's a lot better on large ones, and it gives you a way to reuse strong Battlecries on expensive cards. Kronx Dragonhoof in particular is really good with this in Galakrond Rogue, but there's quite a bit more that can be done with it. Seems like a pretty good card to me.
First thing's first, the artwork is just awesome. Regardless of how good the card is, we can all agree on that, right?
Compared to Ring Toss, you don't need to Corrupt the card to give you 2 Secrets. You just play it on turn 4 and go! That's quite good because it gives you 2 Secrets and 2/2 stats worth of damage. On the turn after you play, it can give you "free" setup for Petting Zoo to get one at least one other Strider, so that's pretty good. This alone actually makes it a decent contender for Secret Hunter.
One problem this card has is with Eaglehorn Bow. It has anti-synergy with Eaglehorn Bow because your Secrets are likely to be triggered before you can equip Bow or you end up playing it on a turn that you can't use it right away. It also negatively impacts it on curve for if you play Eaglehorn Bow on turn 3, you can play this on turn 4, but you'll end up not doing anything with it. This might not be bad enough to where you cut them all out, but it does make them a little bit awkward to play with eachother. You might end up playing one, but not both of these weapons.
In any case though, this seems like a good contender for Secret Hunter and it'll definitely see some amount of play.
On paper, this is absolutely nuts. If you manage to get it copied so you have 2 at the same time it may just be a never ending train of taunts.
But on practice, I kinda feel it will end up very similarly to Lucentbark, in that its likely just too many ways you can safely remove this and deny them value. Notably, if you simply just board clear the whole board at once then the deathrattle will simply not find a target, so even paladin have methods of denying this value.
It's a hard balance to get right I guess. Keep games fun and different every time. Have a healthy amount of RNG sure but don't go mad.
Personally I never thought Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron was an OK design for constructed. Brawls or PVE - sure. But when it's so good it's a common sight in ranked tournaments and an overdose of RNG to decide so many games in which is played I'd say it's too much.
In fairness to those that love the card, I only play Wild now where it sees 0 play so it's more than possible I'm totally wrong.
In the new expansion we have the possibility for repeated random pyros to decide the game. So I guess we should just embrace it. And it does make good Trolden videos :P

Hmm, important to note that this also counters cards like bombs (become 8 mana spells) and, in wild, Corrupted Bloods (become 4 mana spells).
Don't think this will see play outside of a niche meme deck.

It doesn't specify "Mage spells" though like other Mage cards that only generate Mage spells.
So I'm pretty sure you can get spells from other classes from this.

The original article from IGN states that the spells can be from any class.
New Mage Spell - Deck of Lunacy
Thanks, I just found the gameplay video, and it did create Paladin cards.
It's not just a "fun" card, though. Almost any high-cost card can be good when it costs 3 less.

It seems like it requires too much setup for it to be extremely good, although Mage has quite a few good Secrets and also ways to generate them, so it'll definitely see some experimentation at the very least.

Umm, yeah, I have enough problems dealing with buffed silver hand recruits combined with Steward of Darkshire, and that requires the minion to be on the board to give the effect. This card just gives divine shield automatically after it's played. I still say it's pretty strong in the right wild combo.

New Druid Minion - Greybough
Its a good card on its own, but I wouldn't be straining over getting anything out of the deathrattle.
At least its better than Lucentbark most of the time, but will likely end up the same way as that card, at least in standard.
New Rogue Spell - Malevolent Strike
Interesting card. Its value depends on the shuffle support that's given this expansion.
