Nobody with a sense of humor here, it seems. It's a joke with the fact that these cards bear striking similarity in their effects or design to other cards. I never said they were bad. But i'm really not excited about them. Lord Barov is pretty good but Warrior is NOT in a shortage of Control tools. Rattlegore is way too slow and i doubt it will see any play. And Doctor Krastinov won't take Captain Greenskin's spot in Warrior lists for the simple fact that you can't "fish" for him with Ancharrr. Out of these three, only Barov seems worthwhile but it's just another reactive control tool and Warrior excels at removal.
Actually, in some day, when team 5 is desperate to find new mechanics to add to the game, Gaining + mana might be a thing. Like how 30+ health comes to the game with Awaken the Makers or how [Hearthstone Card (Demon Hunter) Not Found] class came to the game or how Valdris Felgorge makes maximum hand size to 12. So, that might be possible in that day which The Coin is used before you play Speaker Gidra. :P
A big beatstick that can be played at a time beatstick don't tend to be this big. There is a reason the Hand-locks of old included Sunfury Protector on their lists. And this guy has Giant-like stats without needing an extra card to give it Taunt, which is a nice addition.
I appreciated they didn't give mage a way to generate Preparation. Think about Wand Thief is a vice versa version and gives rogue spells, Wild would be damned until the end of time with this card.
Control Warlock needs survivability if it wants to be viable. Soul Fragments can provide said survivability and only one of the generators is a demon. And while this card has anti-synergy with Void Drinker, it's still a 4/5 Taunt pulled out of the deck at a stage of the game the cards' battlecry is less relevant. Hell, even pulling Spirit Jailer from your deck at a time you definitely don't want to topdeck it can add some late game consistency at the cost of a less powerful tempo swing. Tempo swing that you can somewhat control by controling the demons in your hand.
Sure, this card isn't amazing especially when considering how games tend to be over before this card can be played, but it can be an extra board swing in control match-ups, giving Archwitch Willow some utility in that scenario.
Very nice card. Strong but slow board clear solo. Combined with most whirlwind effects it's so powerful for Warrior. Paladin it might be too slow to pop that deathrattle. A third Equality/ Libram of Justice is still good enough though.
Lord Barov
Whirlwind is great, but I am hoping for something that allows you to do a Shadowflame effect to a target.

How many legendaries are in this set? Normal is 23, I’m pretty sure this makes 24. Maybe the neutral weapon is an extra?!
On my phone right now so I can’t dig too deep in the list to see if there are any missing that we should expect.
Nevermind! I had a long day and forgot: 10 classes!!! So one more legendary to be revealed for a total of 25.

So it's Wild Pyromancer + Equality on one card for half the cost?
And I can also run it in my Control Warrior?
Say less!

New Paladin & Warrior Minion - Lord Barov
Top tier expansion legendary. This is going to be a meta definer for sure.

This was my thought too. This is WAY better than Echo in most cases (though I remember Echo being used to cheese out giants way back when).

here's hoping we get some murloc reveals tomorrow!
New Paladin Minion - Argent Braggart
Meh? So it's a cheap minion with potentially big stats. No taunt, no rush, no lifesteal, not going to save you in a pinch.

Love the art! So good.
New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu
Dangerously powerful card. I'll try it out and have some fun before it gets nerfed.
New Hunter Minion - Professor Slate
Love this. Fun new concept. Calling it right now, I'm the idiot who will go face into an Explosive Trap while my opponent has this on the board.
