Full control Lock with the biggest, baddest, biffest Demons you can find. They are not many, but seems a fun strat for a change, at least before the meta settles.
Putting all eggs in one basket is never a good thing, but right now HS seems to be "I do me, you do you", so this can steal some games before the mentality shifts to spot removal and/or silence.
Cool design, but too slow to see play. Unless you wanna try the pull from deck thing, good luck with that. On the other hand, somewhere a Priest will copy/steal this, rezz it a hundred times and have a blast. So nice when your Legendary makes other classes happier then you.
0 mana spell that generates 2 good Minions from your deck an enable sinergias with new cards like Flesh Giant or Activate the Obelisk and BDSM warlock.
The developers said that they didn't want true aggro in the game, and thats very much what we have right now. While you can run elements of elusive, elements of aggro, or elements of burn you still need to have a solid midrange champ plan to go with it. I don't hate that, you can basically play what you want right now.
Maybe they are hinting an Argus or Lightforged theme for the next expansion. But it seems that is the Darkmoon faerie, so neither is the case.
Lorewise the paladin legendary could be any named silver hand paladin except Turalyon because he was not in Azeroth at the expansion time.
Maybe Tirion, or Alexandros Mograine before the Ashbringer creation. Even Taelan, Tirion's son could be. But anyway let's see what happen on solo adventure
I don't get why people hate so much on the board RNG thing. The whole game is built on RNG, one way or another. "Not competitive consistent", gimme a break.
A short while from now, when one of those data collection sites puts out a list of Most Played Cards, I fully expect to see this little guy right up near the top. The [Hearthstone Card (Soul Shard) Not Found] mechanic looks to be a reasonably versatile and fun one, usable as a splash for some healing even if you're not going for the full package, and a 1/3 body on a 1 cost minion is never bad. Could even bring right back with Raise Dead for some extra shards. I'm thinking of it entirely in terms of Warlock, because that's my "brand", but I would imagine Demon Hunter could make use of those shards as well (I should have checked the DH soul shard cards before I wrote this, haha), so I get the feeling that, about 20% of the time, we'll be seeing someone lead off with this. Let's all hope his entrance flourish isn't too annoying :)
Vomit you little dudes, Trueaim Crescent, draw 4, keep pushing. Also make 8+ control hands cry in the bed at night. What's not to like about it? DH card, of course.
Some day soon, for shits and giggles, I'll need to build a deck with this, Dark Possession, and Call of the Void, and just rollllll. This one seems to be the obvious best of the three, though kudos to that niche deck that wants to damage its own minions to pick up a demon - [Hearthstone Card (Gurubashi Berzerker) Not Found] Warlock incoming!
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Ace Hunter Kreen
In a minion-centric meta, he can reign supreme. The synergy with Trueaim Crescent is almost criminal.
New Warrior Minion - Playmaker
There will be a huge greedy combos with this!
New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow

New Warrior Minion - Playmaker
Now thats some synergy. If the meta is board based, this and Restless Mummy will be BFF.
New Warrior Minion - Troublemaker
Another minion thought to be pulled from deck. Too bad they never gave us tools to do that reliably. Woecleaver anyone?
New Warlock Minion - Boneweb Egg
Here we go again! Discolock Fever! Third (forth? fifth? eleventh?) time is the charm!
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer
Decent midrange minion. Too bad "decent" and "midrange" have no place in DH.
New Warrior Minion - Rattlegore

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Mage/Rogue Dual Class Cards
So they used to play hearthstone in ancient times huh.. So that's how they discovered salt.
About the cards, yeah there isn't much more to say about them they are just good, except the legendary which is too random.
New Priest & Warlock Spell - Raise Dead
0 mana spell that generates 2 good Minions from your deck an enable sinergias with new cards like Flesh Giant or Activate the Obelisk and BDSM warlock.
Really good card.
New Neutral Minion - Plagued Protodrake
Pack filler design, nothing speacial. Seems like Arena material, if only.
So did the last patch kill Noxus aggro?

New Neutral Minion - Voracious Reader
Look how they butchred my boy Jeeves.
New Mage Spell - Cram Session
With +1 spell damage you have a cheaper Arcane Intellect.
If spell damage decks are played, they will use that card.

New Demon Hunter & Warlock Minion - Spirit Jailer
Fits perfectly in any soul frag deck/strat, specially since we don't have enough soul frag producers.
New Hunter Minion - Bloated Python
Best case scenario is a 4/4 "charge" on turn 4. Decent, but not that absurd.

I don't think DH wants to clear the board that often, but just in case, there you go! Why not?

New Demon Hunter Spell - Cycle of Hatred
Other classes would sell a kidney for this. Oddly DH could pass whitout it, but sure as hell can put it to good use.

New Mage Minion - Lab Partner
Cheap enough, good health, plays along with the theme. Expect to see a lot of those in the near future.
