A neat effect for sure, but I think it might require a bit too much set up to really get good value out of it. Token Druid with broom could be pretty nice with it, but I don't see it beating out other decks right now. There are plenty of cards left to be revealed, so we'll see if this gets any more support.
Seems quite strong, is has real potential to be annoyingly sticky. I doubt Guardian Druid would run this though, so it'll have to wait for other archetypes to emerge.
Interesting card, works well with Ticket Master and Togwaggle's Scheme. I guess their really going to push shuffle rogue, because it's a cheaper Assassinate in those decks.
Standard: Will see play in this new shuffle rogue deck. But i guess that's it. Other slow rogue decks rather use Flik Skyshiv instead. Also it fit's well with C'Thun, the Shattered, so you can stay alive until you pull the pieces.
Wild: If your playing some kind of rogue deck that shuffles a lot of cards, then i don't see why you wouldn't use this. And at least it has synergy with Academic Espionage, in case you want to play a more fun type of deck.

this card is just insane and super flexible. It's shadowstep with a body but it's incredibly strong on higher cost things. You don't have to hit something insane like toggwaggle, kronx, or jandice for this to be good, but you can.
Just value trade with a shield of galakrond or faceless corrupter or something and then bounce it back is super good. You can still bounce and Edwin or evil miscreant and play it for the same price as a shadow step.
No, I think you're right to read that much into it. I kinda wish they had done something with the art to place him in this expansion more than just "he's the only demon paladin and we wanted menagerie support". With Yrel doing pretty much the same thing (so far as I can tell she's only here because they wanted a puritanical character for a pure pally), and Turalyon in Scholomance for no reason whatsoever (I mean seriously, he's just about the only paladin with no link to the scourge at all), it just feels like there must be a better way to do this.
I think we can ignore any non-mechs/goblins/gnomes in GvG since it was clear they hadn't committed fully to that theme. Likely they chose not to because they were still trying to keep to established Warcraft lore and there weren't any options for many classes. It is notable that TGT was when they abandoned the old 'Heroes of Warcraft' subtitle and started making up new characters.
I agree Benedictus was a bit of a misfit. I have always wondered whether they included him after mistaking him for Lilian Voss's father. Personally I blame whoever thought it was a good idea to have both an Archbishop Benedictus and a High Priest Benedictus.
On the whole though misfits are rare. The only other one I had real trouble understanding was Wrathion in MSoG.
This is a VERY interesting card. Seems really strong for big warlock decks, and even in wild!
Standard: their is a lot of synergy in standard, just a few i can name are: Lord Jaraxxus, Zzeraku the Warped and Archwitch Willow. Actually i'm pretty sure the [Hearthstone Card (Archwith Willow) Not Found] "stat nerf" was actually a buff, so that she works better with Deck of Chaos.
Standard: I'm pretty sure Deck of Chaos will be in some kind of BIG Warlock deck, which will be some kind of control deck that probably includes Supreme Archaeology. Let's hope Lord Jaraxxus is finally going to be viable again.
Wild: I'm guessing this is yet again, going to be in some kind of big warlock deck. And probably in Cubelock, because of Voidlords. Let's face it, who doesn't "like" 3 mana 9/9 Voidlords. And their easy to draw those with Sense Demons. I forsee Deck of Chaos see a lot of play.
We've already seen how bonkers double spells can be with Double Time in Duels, so this card will be played in some interesting combo decks... or just Malygos decks :D
I was actually just thinking how much I'd love to see this spell in Duels, not with Double Time (which wouldn't do anything), but with the massive spell damage Druid can achieve there.
This is super strong imo. Probably not a facehunter card but any kind of midrangey or secret hunter is going to want this.
Two secrets is 4 mana so you're basically getting to discover them and get a 2/2 weapon for free. Arcane Keysmith saw play and this is better than that.
Just adding another solid damage spell for Druid is a pretty big deal. Of course, this is the end of an expansion cycle, so I suppose a lot of ciritical masses throughout the game are reached at this time.
Seems like a strong card. Good stats for it's cost and might see play in a number of decks. Seems like their pushing some kind of divine shield dude paladin this expansion.
Standard: Really good minion for Pure Libram Paladin and broom paladin. Those decks love minions that stick on board.
Wild: Well luckely it's not...... NOOOO IT'S ODD COSTED! WHY BLIZZARD?!?!? Okay so i'm pretty sure Lothraxion the Redeemed existence alone is enough for ODD Paladin to become meta. Those Silver Hand Recruits were already annoying enough to deal with, and now their even more annoying. Also Lothraxion the Redeemed makes the Silver Hand Recruits way less susceptible to board clears like Defile and Spirit Lash. Maybe this Spirit Lash counter makes ODD Paladin a lot better against Raza priests? If so, then i guess Raza priest may see less play, which i'm totally okay with! :)
First thought, why is it Odd cost? Second thought, making it Even cost might have been more powerful as I believe Even Paladin is more control based, or used to be.
Either way, making Dudes stickier is usually a pretty strong tool for Paladins if your strategy is to flood the board, or to buff it.

I just love that Balance Druid is finally seeing some representation in this game.

Double-plus-two your Prize Plunderer battlecry!
But seriously, great card. If you don't see the potential, you probably don't play much Rogue.

This is definitely better than Shadowstep in a value rogue deck but you would still run at least 1 shadow step with it anyways
New Paladin Minion - Lothraxion the Redeemed
Seems like a strong card. Good stats for it's cost and might see play in a number of decks. Seems like their pushing some kind of divine shield dude paladin this expansion.
Standard: Really good minion for Pure Libram Paladin and broom paladin. Those decks love minions that stick on board.

There is nothing "meh" about this. It is extremely good for the meta we're about to see.
