The only place for this currently is in face hunter, which already plays many of the cheap spells to go with this.

Our only hope is that there's some crazy cheap AoE spell for hunter thats not revealed yet. Its rare for team5 to design legendaries without something that will at least make it viable.

If there isn't, then this is just strictly a worse Veranus, which despite the higher cost, is a dragon and allows minion trading for the effect, and minion generation is about the best thing hunter has anyway.

Its very similar to Toxmonger, a card with lots of potential at face value, but ultimately never saw much play in standard.

This card can also generate the dual class cards like Devolving Missiles and Runic Carvings. Nice value for control, but I'd be interested to see how it works with Heart of Vir'naal

Comparable with Truesilver Champion and probably will see play even outside of soul fragments decks

Wording is fine. Poisonous only works with damage. If I attack a poisonous minion which attack I reduced to 0, it doesn't trigger. Heck, Tracking could be poisonous and it wouldn't change anything, since it doesn't deal damage.

The Soul Fragments mechanic will be a nice shell for control DH, and this card a staple in it. If not this expansion, then the next one. 

nice take on Sunwalker

Now that you've said that I want to do exactly that on day 1 of the expansion just to prove you wrong

But nobody will be dumb enough to attack into explosive trap without killing professor first.

I don't really know why but I love this card.
It's something I'd really love to build a deck around.

Scholomance Academy = Howgarts

Soul Fragment = Horcrux

Hogwarts :)  - sry , had to do this :) 

I see what you mean, but i personaly don't realy see a connection there other then the Academy is a School and so is Hogwarts.

Soul Fragments are way to many i guess to be Horcruxes ? but i also was never that big of a Harry Potter Fan myself :)

Still excited about what the Solo Content has to offer tough - i kinda expect something like anchorm4n said : Players encounter a evil nature in the school etc. 

I like him. He's my new best friend now.

I was sceptical at first, Hunter doesn't have many removal spellls, but...

This + Explosive Trap:

When your hero is attacked, destroy all enemy minions.

Mass Vaporize... Holy fuck

Well, i play standard only so i can't say anything about wild :)

But i'm excited for the expansion, because there are lots of new cards i find interesting and defenitely will try mess around with some stuff. Right now there are lots of ideas and we haven't seen the whole expansion. 

Sure im happy about every expansion because new cards and stuff but this expansion there are some ideas (dual class cards , soul shard mechanic for example) i realy like.

I also think that this expansion we're gonna have a more diverse meta - sure there still will be a Number One and Two deck etc, but from the cards i've seen im pretty certain that there will be a lot of strong decks. 

I am curious of this gives odd DH new direction. 

Are you saying the stats are good or bad? If you are saying they are bad then good...the effect is nuts.

Bonkers if proxed, underwhelming if not - good design. My only regret is how it has antisynergy with the new Legendary Waifu Warlock gets. 

It is the point. The theme is based on the art which I am saying doesn't matter they always go off theme who cares as long as the card is good.

I made a priest galakrond deck with this with new 3 mana copy card.

Not really the point though is it, OP was simply suggesting the art doesn't fit with the theme of a shaman (Human shaman isn't even a thing in wow). Whether the card is mechanically sound wasn't the argument.

Since I play wow (wotlk), I am certain, that the soul fragments are a reference to the soul shards, a secondary resource for warlocks, that they used for some abilities - like summoning demons. Those items were present even in vanilla wow, way before the horcruxes were introduced to the public.

Oh, btw warlocks could use the soul shards to create healthstones - conjured items, that restored health. So the connection to the mmo is a strong one.

This is the weakest of the Soul Fragment package, and still very strong, if battlecry is active. If not, still playable on curve in the match ups where you desperately need to put stuff on board. 

Quote From DoubleSummon

Hunter have no aoe spells, and not many damage spells are currently ran in standard, but this card is a reason to go that direction so.. We need to wait and see if this gets enough support. 

Hunters get AOE spells from time to time, it’s just usually stuff that hits 2 or 3 minions.

Its hard to say how good this card actually is though, because there’s a good few small pings Hunter gets with its spells that were never quite good enough to run, and this makes them a lot better

This will be played even without the whole package. Cheap aoe with some (delayed) healing, what is not to like? 

This expansion is Custom Hearthstone Official. 

According to the IGN reveal article, Snipe and Explosive Trap will both become poisonous if Slate is on the board when they're triggered.
