One more "free card that gives x minion" like the rest of them from this expansion, rush is useful in any deck so it's a nice card, not like other ones.... coff coff mage coff coff
I love that the studies cards are all cheap spells, it makes them flexible.
One of Dragon Preist's biggest weaknesses is that they don't have a way to discover dragons outside of their class. They can get lucky and generate them with the Skeletal Dragon, but it's taunt will have your opponents destroy it before you can get more than 1 dragon. This little spell is a fantastic way to get around that, allowing the portfolio of dragons introduced in Descent of Dragons to be at Priest's fingertips.
This also means you'll probably discover more of the neutral dragons than the powerful class dragons, but having it be discounted by (1) mana means the dragon should also be more flexible to play with as well.
It's only weakness is that outside of standard there's quite a few very weak dragons in wild this card can discover, and once Year of the Dragon rotates it's power in standard will drop quite a bit, only having the dragons from classic and Year of the Phoenix.

New Mage/Rogue Minion - Wand Thief
Better than Babbling Book, except on turn 1.
New Warrior Spell - In Formation!
taunt warrior comeback?
New Neutral Minion - Manafeeder Panthara
It's card draw in a not too weak body given the cost. I think this will see some use.
New Warrior Weapon - Reaper Scythe
Nice effect and average cost, still needs to spellburst
New Priest Spell - Draconic Studies

New Warrior Minion - Troublemaker
Costs abit too much for the attack and the effect doesn't really target minions so it's a meh card
Hearthstone's August Card Back, Scholomance Academy, Has Arrived!
Got to have this before opening packs! It's on the required materials list for new students!
New Warrior Minion - Playmaker
Nice stats for the cost, get free rush minions to clear the board basically
New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles
This can hit the same target multible times. Awesome removal.
New Warrior Minion - Rattlegore
A worse gruul, sure if it needs to be killed 9 times for it to be gone but uhhhhh silence coff coff.
New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior
I just think all the ghost cards are too slow.
New Warlock Spell - Demonic Studies
Free card basically as the cost of it is reduced from the demon
New Warlock Spell - School Spirits
Nice aoe for soul decks
New Neutral Minion - Steward of Scrolls
Not as great as Azure Drake, all the more because it does not have the dragon tag.
New Druid/Shaman Spell - Lightning Bloom
I'm betting this is going to allow for some disgusting turns.
New Warlock Minion - Boneweb Egg
A nice Discard card.... Oh also another egg i guess
New Warlock Minion - Shadowlight Scholar
Real nice stats for the cost, effect can be nice
New Paladin & Priest Spell - Gift of Luminance
Nice effect, but you want to hit specific minions with this. It kind of feels like a waste on a Silverhand Recruit.
New Warlock Minion - Void Drinker
7/8 for 5 mana in soul decks, nice in them meh outside
New Rogue Minion - Vulpera Toxinblade
Good stats and it basically has Deadly Poison tacked on for free.

Big demon decks will thrive with this card, can they survive till then tho
