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.
If you're building a dedicated shuffle deck, there is probably space for this in addition to Stowaway. In decks with few or no shuffle cards, this might still be playable as Tracking or Master's Call with a body.
A less favorable comparison would be Countess Ashmore, but this is one mana cheaper for similar stats and easier to fit into decks.
Combo it with Violet Illusionist, then you don't need a full hand. You could even play Spirit of the Shark the turn before to get two chances at discovering bombs.
Well, I just saw Occult Conjurer after posting, so if you want to prevent that from triggering while still preventing card draw and continuing to do face damage, Flare might be useful.
Priest got a legendary spell last expansion and Mage is spell oriented deck so it only makes sense. I just randomly thought this and so I go to check if there is an upcoming card with a carnival tent in it and there is. I am guessing its the legendary mage spell.
Preventing damage from minions can be done by nuking or freezing them, no taunts needed. Hero powers are an issue though: even with freeze effects, Hunter and Mage can still damage you. In the case of Mage, you are at least making them use their mana inefficiently, but a lot of Hunter decks are going to be using their hero power on every turn in the late game anyway.
If you have nothing or a minion without a tag on board then Tent Trasher costs five. If you play, say, a pirate, this will cost one less because there's one tribe on your board. If you then play a mech, this will cost two less cause there's two tribes on your board. However, if the mech is for instance Tomb Warden so you have a pirate and two mechs, then Tent Trasher will still only cost two mana less because there's still only two tribes represented on your board.
Specific keywords like "reborn" usually aren't supported later, but Galakrond's Awakening was an exception as it closed the year's story arc by using mechanics from all three sets.
With archetypes in general, there have been several cases where archetypes that didn't see much play received a boost just before they rotated out. I think Pure Paladin did see a significant amount of play, but if they're nevertheless giving it one last push, there might not be any Pure support next year.
However, it's also possible that Pure will become an archetype that's always around for Paladin, like the "discover" and "rush" keywords stuck around. Still, it being present doesn't mean that it will always be strong: the discard mechanic is always around for Warlock, but it has rarely been good in Standard.
Pirates had weapon synergy from the start, but Warrior-specific pirates started in Old Gods (N'Zoth's First Mate, Bloodsail Cultist). Pirate Warrior became a top deck because of Patches the Pirate in Mean Streets, but it existed before.
I just realized that you could play this with Brann Bronzebeard to get a full hand and then destroy Bombs in your deck.
But bomb warrior isn't really common in wild, that would make this a niche tech card like Eater of Secrets, and there are so many uses for this other than that specific scenario.
Looks pretty broken since almost any minion makes it 5/5 for 4.
But I wonder about the wording of the card, "friendly minon with a unique type", does that mean that minions with multiple types don't count or that you need to have only one minion of a given type to get a discount ? Example, if you only have 2 pirate on board, does it cost 4 or 5 ?
Most played Paladin decks in Standard is currently are built around Librams (either Pure or Pen Paladins). I don't know if this would be better, but maybe a hybrid is possible. While Libram of Wisdom is good when you always have small minions on the board, you do want them to die so you can reuse your Librams once they cost 0, which means giving your dudes divine shield might be counterproductive. But maybe that's not so much of an issue since on turn 4, your Librams likely will not cost 0 yet.
Part of the reason aggro warriors need to finish games quickly is that they don't have much card draw. For example zoolock uses cheap cards as well but gets more turns to do its thing because of the hero power. That said, since this can only be a one-of, it's not very reliable card draw. There is still Ancharrr though, maybe together they're reliable enough.
The more I think about it, the more this looks like one of those good cards that ends up seeing very little play because there is no deck for it. But who knows; there are still a lot of unrevealed cards remaining.

Thank you for the clarification !
New Rogue Minion - Grand Empress Shek'zara
It's absolute worst case scenario is draw a card. It's best case is "play 6 3/3's and draw 6."

Just 1 flare should be fine though I predict secret rogue, secret hunter, and secret mage will all be a thing
Random thought: I think warlock secrets would be cool
Calling it now Mage will get a legendary spell called Carnival ...
Priest got a legendary spell last expansion and Mage is spell oriented deck so it only makes sense. I just randomly thought this and so I go to check if there is an upcoming card with a carnival tent in it and there is. I am guessing its the legendary mage spell.

If you're playing Hunter and you're not able to do face damage every turn, you're probably in more trouble than Flare can solve.

I think you can cross off Class Card In Disguise with N'zoth now as warrior got 3 synergetic cards for it

Against for example Face Hunter, turn 8 is too late. But versus a slower deck like Soul Demon Hunter, the healing will be very useful.
Tent Trasher is a New Warrior Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
By the wording, I'm assuming it costs 1 less even if you have only one minion of any tribe?

I can see this in Galakrond Rogue. You can use this to draw into invokes or to find your power cards like Heistbaron Togwaggle, Galakrond, the Nightmare, or Kronx Dragonhoof. This would also be another card in the deck you would be happy to draw off of Galakrond or Wondrous Wand.
Balloon Merchant is a New Paladin Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
Not currently, but with this and Day at the Faire it might become playable. There is quite a lot of support for a zoo-style paladin with Righteous Cause, Hand of A'dal, First Day of School, Brazen Zealot and Never Surrender!.
Most played Paladin decks in Standard is currently are built around Librams (either Pure or Pen Paladins). I don't know if this would be better, but maybe a hybrid is possible.

I guess something like Zoo warrior will exist on the next expansions. It will be playable at least?
Only time will tell
New Rogue Minion - Grand Empress Shek'zara
Pogo's best friend, maybe in wild it became playable
New Mage Spell - Rigged Faire Game
This will be enabler of Occult Conjurer most of the time. They are taking a different secret interactions. It's very interesting to me
