although this gives you the entire 1-2-3 curve there are some terrible beasts.. like River Crocolisk. still it's a card generator so if you are middrange/low curve deck you would like some cheap generation I guess.
playing a 2-mana 2/3 isn't bad unless you actually put it in your deck
You mean cause of spell druid? Or cause it comes with a 3 cost beast as well? Just realized this might be relevant cause of fungal fortunes, so you can get some early plays as spells apart from the twinspell
The link you provided leads to a German version of the hearthstone site. Not world ending but figured I'd point it out. Also thanks for reminding me this is a thing I set one up as well.
Sorry for that, I was hoping the page would adjust the language once you logged in. There's a link to the Fireside Gathering page at the end of the article from Blizzard I also linked, if this is a problem for anyone.
I really liked the Spell Beast Druid in the final reveal stream. Even finished the Trial by Felfire Challenges to get that shiny golden Kel'thas yesterday. Second on the list is a tempo mage, but I'm not sure if that will be a thing. When I get bored of loosing I'll switch to Demon Hunter or maybe try and put together a Hunter list.
I want this card to be good, but I'm not sure it actually is. It's an obvious power creep on Chillwind Yeti, but I don't know if Shaman or Druid have enough 5+ mana spells to make this card worth playing right now.
Maybe heal Druid will finally be a thing because of this, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
This card seems ridiculously good both when played from hand or when cheated out via something like Guardian Animals. I expect this to see a solid amount of experimentation since you can almost always guarantee the card draw.
BUT IN WILD, it's NUTS. This is one of THE cards Fire Plume's Heart warrior players wanted. It's just a shame it's even costed, so it can't be used in ODD Fire Plume's Heart warrior. (Which is a good thing i.m.o.)
This card is not worth playing, prefer a best of 3 + a 2/2 taunt rather than 2 random taunts and there are a lot of terrible ones by a lot I mean.. Look at the basic set, you pay 2 mana for 2 random minions? Why not get random dragons? Oh that card also didn't see play... We saw this effect over the years it's just not good enough.
I think this card is going to be too slow, but maybe I'm wrong.
4 2/2's for 6 mana is meh, and overloading for rush means you're already in a bad spot. Wouldn't Starfall just be better in that situation most of the time? It also has anti-synergy with Untapped Potential, so I'm not super excited for this one.
This cards seems really strong, but it isn't clear how strong. Perhaps this is another Siamat with more versatility? I suspect Shaman will use it more just because Druid has been focused on big/spell based decks as of late.
This spell is almost like Frightened Flunky and Twisted Knowledge were combined into one card, and the discover mechanic was completely thrown away.
What will hold this card back is the lack of consistency with Taunt minions - there's taunt minions for every mana in this game, meaning you could get a minion to play next turn or you won't have anything to play until turns 8 or 9.
Fortunately, this card does have excellent synergy with Armagedillo, who will grant the minions in your hand an additional +2/+2 if they have taunt.
If Taunt Warrior makes a comeback this card will be in that deck, but we'll have to see if Pirate warrior is still Warrior's go to for ladder climbing once Scholomance Launches on 8/6
I just want Shan'do Wildclaw, everything else is pretty meh, this expansion seems to be setup for the next, or filler for wild, more than anything else.
And when i say that that's not a bad thing. Not every expansion needs to be KFT, where cards break the game, i like the expansion. But it's not very interesting in terms of deckbuilding, and i doubt it'll break the current meta.
Not sure if this is busted or just ok. Maybe this replaces Crimson Sigil Runner since it consistently draws a card and can guarantee your outcast goes off that turn.
1-mana draw a targeted card is very strong, but DH might have enough card draw and strong options that this doesn't make the cut.
The community doesn't give 1-drops 5/5 ratings, but this card is going to be an auto-include in so many decks for both DH and Warlock. This card doesn't win you the game, but the fact that you always want it in your deck means it's a 5/5 for Hearthstone.
A 1-mana 1/3 with an upside has rarely not seen play; I don't think this card is any different, and I suspect to see this until it rotates.
Adorable Infestation
This card is probably going to see play in aggro decks until it is nerfed or rotated.
The card art is absolutely, incredibly cute. The effect, not so much... At least we will get pounded to death by the adorable Marsuul Cub.

Partner Assignment
This could help Spell Druid, Quest Druid, or just function as a good value card generated off of Cobalt Spellkin.
I don't think it will make the cut in any of those decks, but maybe it 1 card for 2 random cards is worth it.

Teacher's Pet
This is ok, but I'm not sure it's good enough to enable an entire archetype in 2020. Maybe it is viable with Guardian Animals, but I'm not sure...
The card has great flavor, but I don't know if it will make the cut in today's meta.
Runic Carvings

However, the treant/totem duo is cool!
which deck will you start to play with ?
Assuming you get the needed cards ... just curious ... I will probably try a Libram Paladin ...
Guardian Animals
I initially thought this was going to be the worst card of the set--until the final drop.
Since the addition of Twilight Runner, Teacher's Pet, and Lake Thresher, this card has a lot more potential!
Survival of the Fittest
I'm afraid for my sanity if this sees play in a competitive deck... or decks.
Since ramp Druid is currently viable, I'm scared my fears will come true.
Strong card, but I'm hoping I'm overreacting.
ha ha love the name, Diseased Vulture is gonna be a buzy bird

The other two are anagrams
Shima = Misha
Kolek = Leokk

This cards seems really strong, but it isn't clear how strong. Perhaps this is another Siamat with more versatility? I suspect Shaman will use it more just because Druid has been focused on big/spell based decks as of late.
Shan'do Wildclaw
I was initially very excited for this card, but after seeing the rest of the set, I realized that there was so much better to come!
I think this card has a lot of potential, but I'm not sure how much play it will see in standard.
Nevertheless, I'm excited to see if this makes the cut in some kind of Quest Beast Druid.
Legendary Kael'thras Priest
Dude, the deck is so fun,
Thanks for sharing !!

Forest Warden Omu
Ridiculously strong card. I suspect this to be a staple in standard and wild for quite some time.
Combo enabler and tempo/swing plays possible make it sure it will find some kind of home, especially since it is playable in the mid-game.
We love a vers Queen!

I had noticed that "Reffuh" is just "Huffer" backwards, but it took me a minute to realize the other two are also anagrams. It's a nice touch!
