This is an amazing swing card for Spell Damage decks that will give them some good board presence later in the game. I think this is a card people will have to think about when it is turn 5 and you have a spell damage minion on the field. And even just playing this on turn 7 with the new mage 1-drop isn't terrible. 

In Shaman, its ok but in Druid it gets overshadowed by Glowfly Swarm

Piloted Shredder. For one more mana, you get Taunt and the minion left behind synergizes well with Hunter. Seems good.

I don't see why Spell Token Druid wouldn't like this.

Kind of situational, but very nice against aggro.

Darkbomb. Can't go face, but gets the delayed healing later instead. Perfectly decent.

I retained 10* stars for Wild. Ended as Platinum 10.

But, oh boy, was I surprised after receiving 11* stars reward for Standard ladder!!!

Last month my Standard stats: 110 games. 60% win-rate. Rank - 3062. https://ibb.co/6D3zRyW

Decks: Various, but mostly Pure Paladin and Gala Shaman. Some Dragon Hunter, Pirate Warrior...

I have no idea why my reward jumped to 11*. I don't play that much anymore. My last Legend was in May (got 10*), so no Legend in June for me. Rumors are telling one need to be top-1500 to get 11*?!?

Am I that good, lol?! Or I maintain a good MMR by not playing much or vs. worse players and not vs. top legends, but then... I'm certainly better then my current opponents and current rank? Skill level feels a lot worse than before. Only really top legends know how to play this game and I think they are the most screwed by this new MMR system.

Seems, in a way, almost "too fair". Can take out big threats late game, sure, but will this really see much play?

I like this card, and I think it will see play. I also like how priest/paladin and priest/warlock cards have synergy with both classes, more so it seems to me than a lot of other pairings.

Combo murderer. This is going to annoy me in Wild.

Seems expensive. I dunno.

This is the least exciting soul fragment card, so I am not sure it will see much play.

Deathrattle shenanigans, though delayed by the shields...

Probably better for mage, but shaman might find it useful if they already have a spell damage totem up.

I think this is a great payoff for the Soul Fragment package, but not a game-winning payoff. Soulciologist Malicia is a great card, but she and the Soul Fragment package doesn't provide the same inevitability that Blastmaster Boom and bombs provide for Bomb Warrior. I still think Malicia will see play, but 1) she demands that you run the entire Soul Fragment package for either class and 2) you have to run a game-winning package alongside the Soul Fragment package. I think this is easier to do in Warlock than in DH as Warlock as better late-game win conditions like Lord Jaraxxus (remember Demonic Studies?) and Arch-Villain Rafaam.

Flesh Giant is gonna be bonkers.

Definitely interesting Deathrattle shenanigans with Gandling.

Welp, now that's stuck in my head.

Of course the comparison is made with Despicable Dreadlord, but I think there is some context missing for what made Dreadlord competitive. In Dreadlord's time, it mainly saw play in Zoolock as a way to counter a very prominent archetype at the time: Dude/Odd Paladin. While Ras Frostwhisper certainly has its use with the prominence of lackeys in standard, I can only see him going into tempo-based decks in either class, just like how Dreadlord mainly saw play.

I think Mage has more use for him than Shaman as Shaman has other more synergistic 5-cost plays like Totem Goliath and Shield of Galakrond. Maybe in a Burn Shaman to utilize the spell damage upside, but Burn Shaman cares more about using spell damage to go face with cheap burn rather than a minion that doesn't go face well. Might as well just run Cumulo-Maximus instead.

For Mage, I'm skeptical of how consistent the spell damage package and how much spell damage you can keep on the board. Yes there is Mozaki, Master Duelist, but she's a one-of in your deck.

Overall, I don't think Ras Frostwhisper will see consistent play in either class as he is low impact at a base and requires too much inconsistent support to increase his power.

Aggro decks will probably use this to delay Holy Nova and others.

I think this will see play more in warrior than rogue, but I might be surprised.

It's the

FINAL COUNTDOWN!

This is what I will get when I "summon a random demon". I love the artwork, it is cute.

People are going to hate this card in both warlock and priest.

I think this will work better for warrior than paladin, but it might see some play with paladins.
