Is it weird that I think it's kind of cute? Don't think it's too strong, but it being a Beats helps immensely, so it may find its way into Druid and Hunter decks.
Has solid stats on its own, and with the Outcast effect it looks quite powerful. Might even be included in some of the more aggressive decks, despite its cost.
Azure Drake but it's an elemental? I love it! Probably won't see play though, because I honestly don't know where I'd want to run it right now. No Elemental decks to take advantage of it.
Solid Silence option. I don't know that Demon Hunter really needs that right now - especially with Kayn Sunfury for avoiding Taunts - but maybe there exists a meta with a lot of threats you want debuffed.
As has been said many times, a generally better Holy Water - but that doesn't make it good. You can definitely highroll with it, but is that worth including it in your deck? I think we'll see this from random generation only, where you will definitely hate it sometimes.
I really like this in Priest - anything that temporarily reduces Attack makes me want to start running all those stealing cards again, and this is no different. Can also just be a delay tool, which is neat.
Since when do game companies ask for your shoe size? I'm not sure whether to find this really cool that you got new shoes for free-- which I could certainly use right now-- or really creepy that they cyber-stalked you for that kind of information, lol.
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Trick Totem
Probably too random to be good, but I could not care less. Bring on the RNG!
New Druid & Hunter Minion - Teacher's Pet
Solid minion, with the added benefit of both it and the minion it spawns on death having Beast synergy. Will surely see some play, specially in Druid.
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
I like that this focuses minions, it means you can be much more sure of the outcome and maximise the damage appropriately.
New Neutral Minion - Lake Thresher
Is it weird that I think it's kind of cute? Don't think it's too strong, but it being a Beats helps immensely, so it may find its way into Druid and Hunter decks.
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Minion - Spirit Jailer
Strong 1 drop on its own, with the added benefit of the Soul Fragments. Will surely see lots of play in both classes.
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Ace Hunter Kreen
By far my favourite card art in the game. A Demon Hunter in metamorphosis wielding a bow? Sign me up!
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Marrowslicer
Quite a strong weapon, really looking forward to playing around with the Soul Fragment mechanic.

Congrats Fluxflashor! Really glad to see you get rewarded for all you do for the community.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer
Has solid stats on its own, and with the Outcast effect it looks quite powerful. Might even be included in some of the more aggressive decks, despite its cost.
New Neutral Minion - Wandmaker
Solid 2 drop, both for constructed and for arena.
New Paladin & Warrior Minion - Lord Barov
Looks strong, specially considering its cost. Not gamebreaking but will surely see some play.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Cycle of Hatred
Very good clearing tool, will be useful if Control Demon Hunter finally becomes a thing!

I'm waiting for the Rager archetype payoff cards
New Paladin & Warrior Spell - Commencement
BIG WARRIOR! I loved my Big Warrior with The Boomship and its ilk, so this is a win for me. Can't wait to try that jank in Wild.
New Neutral Minion - Steward of Scrolls
Azure Drake but it's an elemental? I love it! Probably won't see play though, because I honestly don't know where I'd want to run it right now. No Elemental decks to take advantage of it.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter
Solid Silence option. I don't know that Demon Hunter really needs that right now - especially with Kayn Sunfury for avoiding Taunts - but maybe there exists a meta with a lot of threats you want debuffed.
New Priest Spell - Initiation
As has been said many times, a generally better Holy Water - but that doesn't make it good. You can definitely highroll with it, but is that worth including it in your deck? I think we'll see this from random generation only, where you will definitely hate it sometimes.

Amazing. A mad dash 4 hours before launch and you actually managed to finish up reviewing every card. Congrats.
New Paladin & Priest Spell - Wave of Apathy
I really like this in Priest - anything that temporarily reduces Attack makes me want to start running all those stealing cards again, and this is no different. Can also just be a delay tool, which is neat.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Star Student Stelina
I don't think this card is insane, but I hate it already. I had the same feelings about Gnomeferatu (though this is obviously a better card).

How did I not realise Faceless Rager was part of the rager family, this has been enlightening.
Here's all of the ragers:
Am'gam Rager
Faceless Rager
Ice Rager
Magma Rager
Shadow Rager
Steel Rager
Dungeon run
Wax Rager
New Neutral Minion - Keymaster Alabaster
This card is going straight into this seasons attempt at quest Paladin coz 2 alabasters is always better than 1
Scholomance Academy
It also makes a 5 mana 9/9 that can attack as normal the turn after it’s played when combined with Blessing of Authority. But so does Wisp.

Oh no, I never considered that Avalon might want them. RIP Shoes
