This is insanely good. If Druid is at all good this expansion, this card will be the first to be looked at for a nerf. It just does so much with so little risk.
This feels breakable, but probably not in Standard. I look forward to seeing someone pull off a ridiculous combo in a video and then spending way too long trying to replicate it.
Love it! I've been a big advocate for Priest getting Vanilla or French Vanilla minions that just have really high Health to Attack ratios, and this fits that bill nicely.
Love a good tricky AoE. I am, I must admit, one of those horrible people who actually likes mathematics puzzles, and while this is a tiny little baby one, against a full board I know I'm going to like puzzling out where the best spot to throw this is.
Nice! And I wouldn't worry about accidentally finishing it. I'm not so sure we're getting a "reset" and free ticket anyway since it's just one added set and not a bigger change. That would be on par with how Arena worked in previous Standard years when the second and third sets released. So with that Kargath pull you probably made the better decision to finish it anyway.
In the past, I don't think they did a reset except for the start of a new Standard year or the start/end of a special Arena event. I wasn't expecting a free ticket for this time around, however, I went ahead and started one anyway because I had the free tickets from the deluxe pre-purchase. The 4 Arena Tickets from that bundle are available to be used as soon as you buy the bundle.
So either way I'm probably getting the same rewards I would have from that ticket regardless if I started the run now or after tomorrow.
You can compare this to several other failed cards: Bolvar Fordragon, Blubber Baron, Wicked Skeleton and Hir'eek, the Bat. Hunter could theoretically use this with quest but that deck struggles too much with draw to risk running this. And Token Demon Hunter won't be a thing because DH doesn't have any ways to turn tokens into effective threats and the support and pay off cards are too weak (this and Fel Guardians) or too slow (Nethrandamus). However, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be tested. I'll give it a shot (and probably be disappointed).

New Mage Spell - Combustion
Love a good tricky AoE. I am, I must admit, one of those horrible people who actually likes mathematics puzzles, and while this is a tiny little baby one, against a full board I know I'm going to like puzzling out where the best spot to throw this is.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Brittlebone Destroyer
My (other) favourite card of the set. The health change mechanic is so inspired and I don't care if it ends up being garbage, it's my garbage.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Flesh Giant
Favourite card of the set! I love the mechanic on this so so much.

I never knew you were so handsome Flux.
also are we sure the book isn't a tome?

Well of course Kel’Thuzad would make sure they’re the right size. Can’t have his sacrifice student going around in uncomfortable shoes

Gratz mate, that's some sweet looking swag, now... do the School right, and show them how Magic is done!

New Neutral Minion - Voracious Reader
Yeah, everyone's already talked about how OP this card is and how it's better than Jeeves, so I"m not saying anything new here.
New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior
First thing that comes to mind is two taunts for one card that could be used in quest warrior.

I love these little promotional things companies send out. I got one from HBO for Game of Thrones season 3 and it's the nicest thing I've ever won.

Instead of the emoji covering yourself, you should have had your AC villager face instead
New Warrior Spell - In Formation!
This is the exact kind of card I'm always like "TWO Cards?! Sign me up!" and then the deck sucks so bad. At least Arena I can mess with it in.
