Huge fan of this card. Libram Paladin has already been putting work in standard and this is a great card for the deck. I mentioned it in the past but this is basically just Thing from Below for a class that historically can't do massive tempo swings,. As for priest, this card still feels fine. [Hearthstone Card (Sethekk Spellweaver) Not Found] is going to help a lot but I still struggle to see this card being below 3 mana. Granted 4 mana 4/5 divine shield taunt is still strong but I'm not sure if you'd want to include a card that has a bit of a setup to make good in Priest.
This spell is a slightly more expensive and slightly more damaging Holy Water, that instead of adding the felled minion to your hand, summons it to your side of the board.
As expensive as this spell is, I highly doubt that this will be seen in constructed, Holy Water was barely seen except for a few niche decks, and Priest doesn't have any minions with spell damage in their class to make the damage more desirable.
That said, Priest does have ways to discover or generate this spell - Renew and Sethekk Veilweaver are able to generate spells you normally wouldn't have space to add to your deck, and this spell may be used as a secret weapon in the priest toolkit going forward.
I'm a much bigger fan of this card over Rampage. The only time I'd prioritize health over a divine shield is against a class with a ping or a class which floods the board, and if your playing warrior you shouldn't have to worry about the latter due to Risky Skipper keeping the board nice and clean.. For paladin this feels a bit awkward but it's still a decent buff spell, not sure if it'll see any play for them though.
Yeah I know what you're saying if you dont like the darrowing solution against Yassao. You can try burn, indirect damage, plus their lack of healing should make for a hard counter. In my other post I include an aggro swain/ezreal list that should just rock them.
- 1/1 with a totem in shaman, pretty decent - worse N'Zoth's First Mate in rogue, not sure about this one - worse Kobold Librarian for warlock, though that card is crazy - Lost in the Jungle for paladin, pretty good - instant Leper Gnome for hunter + obvious hero power synergy, pretty decent - useless in DH, druid, priest, mage and warrior
Then there's the fact that this is auto-include in just about any odd deck. Also makes exodia paladin and shudderwock shaman much easier.
New Hunter Minion - Wolpertinger
Smaller doppleganger, you can't really do upgrade shenanigans but you can buff it somehow and end up with 2 low cost big minions
New Hunter Spell - Overwhelm
1 Cost card with a nice effect that only becomes better the more beasts you got on the board
New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior
Reminds me some Harry Potter movies.
New Hunter Minion - Bloated Python
Costs a tad too much but it drops a nice stats creature... Basically another egg creature
New Paladin & Priest Minion - Devout Pupil

New Neutral Minion - Ogremancer
Just a packfiller. Even if it's removed by a spell, it's a 5/3/7 with "deathrattle: summon a 2/2 with taunt", which is bad.
New Hunter Minion - Krolusk Barkstripper
Amazing stats for the cost and amazing effect
New Hunter/Druid Minion - Shan'do Wildclaw
A good way to blend the two classes together. I think both can utilise it effectively in different ways.
New Hunter Minion - Professor Slate
Really nice stats and the effect can be amazing with low cost spells or flame trap if you can keep it on board
New Rogue Spell - Secret Passage
Looks nice you can "trash" your current hand to try and get some spells that can manage the board better.
New Druid/Shaman Spell - Lightning Bloom
Like a pre nerf innervate with overload making abit more balanced
New Druid Spell - Nature Studies
really nice card basically making it free to play and can be used in a reactive way

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
An utterly fantastic and terrifying card that is such high value. I think you cut Battlemage for this.
New Druid Spell - Partner Assignment
Awesome curve filler. I like it.
New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior
Pretty decent in arena, but garbage in constructed.
New Druid Minion - Gibberling
average card nothing to talk about
New Paladin & Warrior Spell - Shield of Honor
I'm a much bigger fan of this card over Rampage.

New Druid & Hunter Spell - Adorable Infestation
Meh card but the cost makes it so it might see play
New Neutral Minion - Tour Guide
Nice wild card. Not gonna see play in standard.
New Druid Spell - Partner Assignment
Really nice effect and cost, fits right into the the curve
brewing against the meta - patch 1.6

New Neutral Minion - Tour Guide
OK, so:
- 1/1 with a totem in shaman, pretty decent
- worse N'Zoth's First Mate in rogue, not sure about this one
- worse Kobold Librarian for warlock, though that card is crazy
- Lost in the Jungle for paladin, pretty good
- instant Leper Gnome for hunter + obvious hero power synergy, pretty decent
- useless in DH, druid, priest, mage and warrior
Then there's the fact that this is auto-include in just about any odd deck.
Also makes exodia paladin and shudderwock shaman much easier.
New Warrior Spell - Athletic Studies
Nice flexible removal. I like it.
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Minion - Soulciologist Malicia
Given how powerful fragment decks look to potentially be, it could be very powerful indeed. I look forward to trying it out.
