Okay time to be serious, which is difficult considering it's warrior. This seems like an alright pay-off for managery. This can get fairly big and i feel like this is one of warrior few decent cards.
Coolest card printed in this set. I feel like this will see play in sooo many warlock decks, because it's just that cool. Also this has a better Tickatus option, so people WILL complain about this card.
Also Tickatus saw a lot of play even though it lowered the decks winrate. Why? People liked playing the card and milling their opponent. Symphony of Sins could just see play for the exact same reason.
So this seems like a meme card, but i feel like this could be pretty nice to have depending on the meta. Like as long as this exists, warlock will have a way to shut down OTK meta's, and this can just be a tech card in ETC. Wouldn't be surprised if this sees play.
Just a reminder: People loved playing Tickatus even if it lowered their winrate, so seeing effects like these does make me wonder if this will get the same treatment. (Probably not considering Symphony of Sins has better Tickatus and Rin also affects you.)
Also in wild i wonder if this sees play in some kind of Discardlock, because this has discard synergy and messes up your opponent more than it messes you up.
Mini-Imp King Rafaam and could just set him up. And in just a fatigue card package in lets say some kind of midrange or control warlock it might just be good enough as well. This can just summon a lot of stats.
Insane card for controllocks. This makes your fatigue cards and hero power heal you which is really nice. I feel like this will see quite a bit of play.
Not sure about this one. It needs a demon package, and the demons need to be alright to summon immediately. Luckely Enhanced Dreadlord among others are in CORE, so it has a little support. But i feel like there still aren't enough BIG demons to cheat out with this, and it costs 6 mana. I don't think this will be good enough for a bit, but might end up pretty good if they print more BIG Demons.
This seems pretty nice, sticky 1 drop and can make a hero power free AND/OR make it so a fatigue card doesn't deal damage to your hero. This will see a bit of play.
This seems alright on curve, but this mostly will see play because it powers up the other fatigue cards. So just because of those other fatigue cards, this will see a lot of play.
Okay so i love playing these cards, and i have a lot of experience with these kinds of cards as a result. So, thanks to my experience with cards similar to this one i know that most of these are HOT GARBAGE. And i feel like this one is as well, even with the small card pool. Why? Most cards you can generate are imp-related, not something a control-ish deck want to get. And this is a value card for slower warlock decks. This is just... bad.
This seems quite good. It's great in overheal decks, because lets be honest spending 2 mana on your hero power is not something you normally want to do. And in shadow priest this is a great weapon as well, especially considering Shadowcloth Needle rotates.
Incredible card. This will see a ton of play. This fits well into slower priest deck and any overheal deck, and considering overheal is evergreen this will only get more and more support!
Seance reprint, which is why i think it's a 4/5 star card at least. The Finale can be both an upside and downside depending on who's minion you copy, but you can easely play around it. Like seriously, don't copy last. It's that easy. Seance saw a lot of play when it was in standard, and i bet this will be as well. Just a very flexible card.
Also i love the name. Each time i read the name i immediately think it's "Shadow word:" instead of Power cord. Yeah reading is a hard thing lol.
Seems good. 2 mana heal a bunch of minions is nice, can get buffs which is also nice AND it's a NAGA which means that naga priest has a new toy to play with. This will see play.
This seems really weak to me. Like priest has better options after rotation. I feel like this is here to make Sister Svalnas Vision of Darkness slightly worse.
So, this does nothing when played but afterwards you can cheat a TON of mana. Well, 3 mana do nothing is honestly not that bad considering priest has so much removal and lifegain. And thanks to Sister Svalna you can discover a shadow spell each turn for only 1 mana. This will 100% See play in control priest decks.
Also this can be discovered, which means shadow priest decks can still get acces to it. Also reminder that this expansion will have a low card pool, so discovering this will be pretty easy. (Thank yogg that multiple Love Everlastings don't stack.)
In wild. Oh boy am i "happy" to see a turn 3 Love Everlasting into turn 4 Shadow Essence. This will be so much "fun"... And i bet that if BIG Priest gets too good thanks to this card, they will just ban it instead of deleting Big Priest...
Eh, alright. It's some nice value generation and removal in one. My guess is that this mostly will see play when it's generated by Love Everlasting + Vision of Darkness.
This feels nuts. You have a bunch of ways to heal this a lot, and this can easely summon a bunch of minions. Also this basically has taunt, because your opponent will always kill this ASAP. This will see play in some kind of heal priest deck, but i feel like it's good enough to see play in a few other priest decks.
Not sure about this card. It seems like a really nice finisher in a heal-focussed priest deck. Slam this down, and heal a ton for lots of damage. Not sure how good that will be though.
Zeddy confirmed in his recent videos that you do get the tavern ticket, you just won't get the notification that you received one. So head over to heroic duels, start a run and see if you get asked to spend gold/runestones or if you have a ticket to use.
It works for Duels sometimes. If a new set is added but nothing is taken away, they might not go ahead with the kind of reset that nets you a ticket. Or they could be obscure about when exactly it happens: the Duels rating reset was earlier this week, but I don't remember netting a ticket. Will we get the ticket when the expansion launches, or is it never going to happen? It's a crapshoot :/

New Warlock Minion - Opera Soloist
Seems alright. I think this is playable for control warlocks that DON'T run a demon package.
New Warlock Spell - Crescendo
Incredible board clear, and i feel like this will just see play in a bunch of warlock archetypes.
