If silences after the minion attacks, the card powerlevel downs a lot.
Yea, that was my thought exactly. And I think it should work as earth shock, but in the example - it states - silence and then deal 1 dmg to it. Here it says - whenever it attacks - silence it. So it can be interpreted both ways. But I guess I am being just paranoid
Yes you are, Turalyon says same thing and it makes the target minion 3/3 before it deals damage as we saw in reveal stream. So I'm %100 sure Magehunter will work same.
Auto-include in any warrior deck. Also cleave is VERY STRONG. there is a reason we don't see that many cleave cards printed. Also this kinda effect is what control warrior really needed.
So, like a delayed Penance in theory with an upside which are the soul fragment support cards.
It might be better than it because sometimes you re just (mostly) forced to play Penance even you have 30 health. Delayed heal which can be used for another feature is quite great mechanic.
I really hope and expect to see some viable fragment decks in meta.
Too much RNG (as so many others already pointed out) - I doubt mages will make any use of this.
As for shamans - well, they have a lot of other, more useful totems to play and buff, than this one. I think this one is only good for some memes. Nothing more.
Maybe this means Token DH isn't supposed to be played purely aggressively?
Either way this is pretty strong. Just having another boardclear is a good argument for trying to run Control DH.
I think exact opposite of this.
Your tokens go face, some is used for setting opponent's minions health to 3 then you use this to turn your 1-2 health tokens into 3/3-s and clear opponent's board.
I don't really think this card is for Control DH, it just gives Token DH more resources. it is like The Forest's Aid more than Flamestrike.
Might be interesting with Poisonous minions and double attack posibilities but probably it will be used mostly as a deathrattle or combo activator because it simply gives minions rush.
Lol i'm not expecting we get the art from the trailer. This only good against medium-number-small-stats board i think, but maybe you could run it as a 1-of or get it from discover.
Like kripp said, this is really good to get Lord Jaraxxus a turn earlier, and [Hearthstone Card (Lord Jarraxus) Not Found] back in the days was always really strong on turn 8, but that said it was quite a long time ago. So we will see if Lord Jaraxxus will be any good these days, or if it really fell of HARD.
Also Demonic Studies can dicover a lot of demons. And because of the discover nerfs some time ago, it means that both class/neutral cards are as likely to show up. And neutral has some REALLY bad demons like Desk Imp (bad with the discount), Magtheridon (bad.), Supreme Abyssal (no silence = bad card) and Sathrovarr (only good in combo decks). Now that i'm looking at it, i hardly see any GOOD demons in the standard pool. This card is really hard to use.
We can get +1 spell damage for 3 turns. This with Ras Frostwhisper will destroy token and aggro board, hopefully. The only drawback is it have only 1 attack, but surely it's for the best.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter

New Warrior Weapon - Reaper Scythe
Auto-include in any warrior deck. Also cleave is VERY STRONG. there is a reason we don't see that many cleave cards printed. Also this kinda effect is what control warrior really needed.
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
So the names are [Hearthstone Card (Shima) Not Found] and [Hearthstone Card (Kolek) Not Found]
I really wonder what will be the Huffer's demon version. Fuhrer maybe ? :P
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Spell - Soul Shear

New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter
Anti Egg tech.
Probably it is meant to be deathtrattle removal rather than taunt or etc. but clears some preparation for spellbursts too.
I'm glad there is a card like this. I like tech options.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Shardshatter Mystic
Best soul fragment card for sure. I really wonder why this is not a dual class card.
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Trick Totem
Too much RNG (as so many others already pointed out) - I doubt mages will make any use of this.
As for shamans - well, they have a lot of other, more useful totems to play and buff, than this one. I think this one is only good for some memes. Nothing more.
New Mage Spell - Cram Session
Another spelldmg support card. We will definitely see some iterations of decks that utilize the +spell dmg. I like this.
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
That's nice anti-aggro tool for tempooriented spell mage decks. And not broken as the Flamewalker. Should be really good.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Glide
want to try this out with Keymaster Alabaster. Skull of Gul'dan might make the combo possible. I will absolutely try to make it work.
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
Card like those are what makes cheap spells (especially 0 cost ones) very scary in mage. I am looking forward for this one.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Cycle of Hatred
I think exact opposite of this.
Your tokens go face, some is used for setting opponent's minions health to 3 then you use this to turn your 1-2 health tokens into 3/3-s and clear opponent's board.

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon - Trueaim Crescent
Might be interesting with Poisonous minions and double attack posibilities but probably it will be used mostly as a deathrattle or combo activator because it simply gives minions rush.
New Warrior Spell - In Formation!
Wow a little support for taunt warrior.. And since this is a spell, you can get some early minions if u play a big deck.
New Warrior Spell - Athletic Studies
You can discover Doctor Krastinov from this, right. Can be good if i don't open him in packs. All the studies are great, and this one is no exception.
New Druid Spell - Partner Assignment
Good for Spell Druid or some sort of Token list maybe.
Could see play but not sure about it.
New Warrior Weapon - Reaper Scythe
Good for control. You can save the spellburst effect to get the desired effect too since warrior don't like slinging spells.
New Priest Minion - Mindrender Illucia
Its just a question. Obviously in most circumstances you're pretty helpless.
Priest has plenty of generation cards, so you stand a chance to get it via rng.
New Shaman Spell - Tidal Wave
Lol i'm not expecting we get the art from the trailer. This only good against medium-number-small-stats board i think, but maybe you could run it as a 1-of or get it from discover.
New Warlock Spell - Demonic Studies
No complains for all the studies, this can generate good value within the demon pool right now.
New Warlock Spell - Demonic Studies
Like kripp said, this is really good to get Lord Jaraxxus a turn earlier, and [Hearthstone Card (Lord Jarraxus) Not Found] back in the days was always really strong on turn 8, but that said it was quite a long time ago.

New Shaman Spell - Molten Blast
An alright tempo, but this must be made in collaboration with all the spell damage synergy. So i guess this see play..
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
I think this is very strong for both classes. Decent Card for the first turn!
New Shaman Weapon - Rune Dagger
We can get +1 spell damage for 3 turns. This with Ras Frostwhisper will destroy token and aggro board, hopefully. The only drawback is it have only 1 attack, but surely it's for the best.
New Druid Minion - Gibberling
First off - i love the art!
Very good card for Aggro Token Druid. And the Effect is very much op - at least for early game development.
