As an early game removal tool Lightshow looks terrible (and is very bad compared to Relic of Extinction). That Lightshow can hit face is a drawback early on when I probably want it to clear minions. Maybe it has late game value but it would need a lot of strong support. Silvermoon Arcanist doubles the damage and can be cast with 2 copies of Lightshow in one turn.

But any Lightshow deck needs consistent ways to create copies of it. You can with Rewind, Audio Splitter and Volume Up but it would mean limiting the number of spells in the deck.

Rewind is a really nice spell. Letting you get a second copy of a high power spell of your choice. Also has Grand Magister Rommath implications.

Audio Splitter is a decent card. I’m not entirely sure what kind of big spell you’d be looking to copy with this right now. Honestly most decks would probably see this as a Ramkahen Wildtamer for spells. Does also have Grand Magister Rommath synergy.

Keyboard Soloist is okay. Honestly I’m not entirely sure what deck would want this. I think it being a soloist is a dealbreaker for most decks. Maybe if Lightshow takes off this makes the cut there?

Lightshow seems really fun. Maybe this is what makes Grand Magister Rommath viable in standard. I don’t think there’s quite enough support for it in standard right now, but maybe I’m surprised. Just cast 2 copies of this and the original and Grand Magister Rommath fires 11 2-damage beams at enemies

Volume Up - Another way to copy Lightshow. Honestly seems just really good in a vacuum anyways.

Some decent mage and priest cards. Only one giving me BSM trauma is Audio Splitter

(Thank Yogg Rune of the Archmage is rotating)

Love Everlasting is a neat card for all sorts of priest decks. Will almost certainly find a home.

Shadow Chord: Distort is a really nice generic removal spell. I think the extra mana cost is worth the extra flexibility over Shadow Word: Pain.

Fight Over Me is basically Hysteria at home. The card generation is ok, nothing to write home about. I think it’s decent enough to make the cut.

These final priest cards are definitely supporting control, whereas up until now its mostly tempo plays. And really I think only Love Everlasting has potential whereas the others are simply redundant. Fight Over Me kills two minions, but bizarrely it might end up backfiring with two minions in hand that you'll never play or take advantage of. Shadow Chord: Distort is basically a slightly cheaper assassinate which sometimes dont do the job - or in other words too inconsistent to see play. I'd just pay one more mana to play Cannibalize instead.

Mage spells, and only two impresses me. Rewind can get you more stall or more burn, and Lightshow is just a build around, though I concede it might be redundant because Frozen Touch is proven to be consistent and not dependent on more discovers to do the job.

But we're not here to see any of these. In two hours, warrior card(s) reveal. Looking at how reddit went the past day I'd imagine the balance of the whole world is resting on that last legendary's shoulders.

Love Everlasting curves right into Shadow Essence. Oh man.

ooooh Love Everlasting would be sweet paired with Dragon Soul 

Board spam is a pretty big design issue in LOR.

Removal is over costed.

So by design the person who clogs the board with more stuff faster is usually the winner.

There's only one instance where this isn't true.

And that's burried in ice.

The only one sided board clear that properly exists in lor, unless you count broadmane which is a follower.

So having that ability to laugh at your opponents garbage as you go right over their head with asol level up into burried in ice.

Thats the true LOR for me, that's the you were never on my level play.

And boy will it always be satisfying.

Yeeeeeah if you have to hard tech your entire deck to counter me I'm doing something right like usual.

Why they get rid of Reno? Off meta reno decks are the best.

This will be a strong inclusion in Big beast hunter because this can just scale FAST. Especially with cards like Mister Mukla and King Krush or that new 10 cost beast.

You might think this is garbage but just hold on. Remember that Twinbow Terrorcoil exists, and with the cheap minion summons like Barrel of Monkeys it's easy to active Terrorcoils effect. But of course you do need Big beasts in hand to actually make that work. But you can also use this later into the game in order to setup another big turn.

I think this might just see play in Big beast hunter. 

6 mana 10/10 minion with RUSH that also GUARANTEES that your opponent mills a card. This can also be ressed by Stranglethorn Heart. This seems insane, not just in Big beast hunter but i think this will just see play in about every hunter deck for quite some time.

Also forcing your opponent to play the bananas might be akward for them. Imagine filling a spell-DH hand with bananas, those will be dead cards unless they find a minion summon. (Or backfire at you when they Lady S'theno)

Insane reload for Big beast hunter. This also works perfectly with the new beasts and running the wild seed package and/or smaller minions won't mess up the ress pool. It's just a shame that Mountain Bear rotates.

However i think the Big beast hunter archetype will be fine, especially with all this new support. This all seems really good to me.

Soo. This seems nuts. Dream scenario is obviously Sanguine Soldier into this, and i do wonder how this interacts with Starlight Groove. Because of the holy tag, does it remove shield first then re-aply it? That would be busted. And it also has tradeable, so if you don't have any shields you can just trade it away. 

I think this might just see play in almost every paladin deck honestly. It's flexible, and it technically is draw as well. As for specific decks that might use this, i feel like Pure paladin will use this, and i feel like BIG Paladin might also use this alongside Starlight Groove but ONLY if the interaction like described above. Otherwise it's mostly just a Pure and or aggro paladin card.

Edit: Also this might be really strong in Dude paladin because of the fact that Lothraxion the Redeemed.

Draw in paladin? Instant 5 star rating. 

At worst this is a 3 mana 4/2 divine shield if you have no divine shields on your minions. Which means it probably competes with Azsharan Mooncatcher However the divine shield buff makes it stand out, and the murloc tribe might be important in pure paladin decks. 

Edit: Thanks to Lothraxion the Redeemed this might be a strong finisher or burst option in (pure) dude paladin decks.

Thanks to Disc Jockey and all the bounce cards in rogue, i think this will be quite a strong card. I think this will see a bunch of play, especially thanks to this having a immediate impact on the board thanks to rush.
