And here I was, feeling safe that Exodia Mage won't make a return because Mage just lacks the card draw to make it happen...but I guess they have different plans. Combo is back on the menu
And also tempo mage just got more draw (They already played some spell damage cards before)
For Paladin, this is an ok card. For Warrior though, this could be potentially scary. Most of the control style minions that Warrior would play would be pretty intimidating if they suddenly were to be a bit more sticky... and this does just that. If the meta will be able to curve out more niche for control style decks with Warrior, this card could definitely find a home.
Reno the Relicologist was 6 mana deal 10, if singleton, i can 100% see this seeing some kind of play, since mage right now runs a bunch of cheap crap anyway.
Hunter has Carrion Studies to make it come out cheaper and the means to abuse the deathrattle while Druid could ramp into it or buff it up with Embiggen or Survival of the Fittest, it will be interesting to see if this can find success in either of those lists.
Even though the yt chat was toxic as always, I really loved the reveal and the new cards. I think Kripp just has his ways of showing if he thinks cards are shit while only listing their benefits ^^ Magical!
He is at least nobody who's overhyping sth, like the devs do in those streams.
A little too late to play those mana wyrms but it's a good way to get more value out of your cheap spells instead of running out of steam like you normally do.
This is hilarious. Plain and simple. The fact that it's a totem is a bonus in Shaman. But something that hangs out on the board for Mage to play a random spell at the end of the turn is pretty funny. It's totally a meme card, but I think it will bring some shenanigans to the meta.
Not sure what druid deck wants this, but the card is very good. The problem is that druids can do much better for drawing a lot of card using their spell suite. Maybe with that beast recuiting card.
Basicly a reprint of Bolvar Fordragon, BUT WORSE. and people called Bolvar Fordragon to quote: "One of the worst legendary cards ever printed". Also Bolvar Fordragon doesn't see play in ODD Paladin, despite them spamming tokens every turn. so i don't see why zoolock and quest hunter would want it. Also if you want Blood Herald to have the exact amount of hp Bolvar Fordragon you will need to sacrifice 7 minions... Bolvar Fordragon at that point still has +1 atk over Blood Herald. And as someone who actually, without memeing used Bolvar Fordragon. I can say: You generally want to play a card like this when it has around.. 5/6 atk? something like that. In that case you would play Blood Herald as a 5 mana 5/5 or 6/6... that's not that good. You want to play Blood Herald instead as a huuuuge minion. Like 8/8 or 9/9 at least i'm guessing. Otherwise it's just a REALLY BAD investment of your mana.
A really strong card by itself, pushes control Hunter pretty well. Might make it into Highlander, but we'll have to see if updated lists run enough cheap spells to reliably proc this effect. As is though, its got decent stats for the cost and comes with a basically free Deadly Shot. Wish the flavor was better to be something that made more sense for a Spellburst, but I have high hopes for this card.
Ugh, just one of those fucking days when RNG keeps screwing me over. I'm playing Demon Hunter to grind for 500 wins (just 35 more), and I went 1-10 today. Jesus Christ. Here's some of the crazy shit that screwed me over:
I got a Highlander Paladin to 1 health, he plays Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, and guess what? He got Nozari. Lucky bastard
I get a Warrior down to 1 health and I'm just topdecking, and I still have several cards that could deal damage in my deck. All I need is one good draw. Instead, I draw shit while my opponent keeps draws consecutive Sword and Board and another Armorsmith that gives him 8 armor, and by the time I draw what I need he's out of lethal range. Goddammit
I hate this game sometimes, I feel like it chooses a day to just screw with you.
Good early board clear even if it requires combo cards to go off right away. Warrior have a lot of them and could make good use of this. Paladin have less options, but could prepare with some dudes or just use Consecration. We’ll probably see this a lot!
even with 1 beast it goes to the breakpoint of 3 damage where it kills most early minions.. if you are swarming the board with beasts it can even remove big stuff so yeah why not.. there's still the quest hunter support.
There aren't enough things to say how good this will be for priest. For Warlock it is still useful, but with Priest's control this will be widely used.
New Hunter Minion - Wolpertinger
Holy Deathstalker Rexxar Zombeast fuel!
New Mage Spell - Cram Session
And also tempo mage just got more draw (They already played some spell damage cards before)
New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel Guardians
This is so much weaker than the creeper. I wonder if this gets a spot in standard dh deck...

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
This card will be a staple 1-drop in both Hunter and Demon Hunter for ever from now on. 5 star card. love it.
Bloated Python
An egg that can kill itself!

And that's good.
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
Flamewaker with +1 attack and only 2 procs instead of infinite potential.. this card will see play.. tempo mage is back!
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Trick Totem
Very inconsistent. I don't think that any deck runs this competitively, just because the effect cannot be relied upon.
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
A little too late to play those mana wyrms but it's a good way to get more value out of your cheap spells instead of running out of steam like you normally do.
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion
Nice t1 play for both classes and kinda for any deck archetype out there. I guess we will see a whole lot of this card in the upcoming months.
Trick Totem
This is hilarious. Plain and simple. The fact that it's a totem is a bonus in Shaman. But something that hangs out on the board for Mage to play a random spell at the end of the turn is pretty funny. It's totally a meme card, but I think it will bring some shenanigans to the meta.

New Hunter Spell - Carrion Studies
The ability to play a card earlier is just amazing, I think most studies cards will see play they are all really good.

I get a Rogue down to 10 health, he plays Wondrous Wand that draws him Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Questing Adventurer, which he balloons up to an 11/11 with taunt from a lackey.
I get a Warrior down to 1 health and I'm just topdecking, and I still have several cards that could deal damage in my deck. All I need is one good draw. Instead, I draw shit while my opponent keeps draws consecutive Sword and Board and another Armorsmith that gives him 8 armor, and by the time I draw what I need he's out of lethal range. Goddammit

Good early board clear even if it requires combo cards to go off right away. Warrior have a lot of them and could make good use of this. Paladin have less options, but could prepare with some dudes or just use Consecration. We’ll probably see this a lot!

Deathrattle Rogue was my first thought, too
