Rapid Fire is absolutely nuts with this. It's basically 5-mana for double [Hearthstone Card (Assasinate) Not Found]...and we haven't even seen any support for this from this expansion yet.
This is a legit comeback tool for any slow Hunter deck. Is this perhaps finally the time of combo hunter?
Wow, pretty strong card! Rapid Fire will find more play than before. Also Spells like Arcane Shot can now be utilized for removal not only for weak minions :)
Okay, someone at Blizzard really adores hunters. Dual class legendary +1/+1 to all beasts in deck, then dual class legendary immune to all attacking chars and now poison spells, hello Rapid Fire
Oooh. That looks right up my control hunter alley.
It doesn't actually affect very many cards in Standard, though I'm sure we'll see a spell or two to go along with it. I assume there will be something along the lines of Explosive Shot, Powershot and Grievous Bite, and not one that hits all minions.

I agree, it's certainly there - and I love it. I'm pretty sure that the solo adventure will take a more WoW oriented direction though. They gave us a Kel'Thuzad hero in its lich form with a fitting card back and a human Kel'Thuzad as a card, that doesn't add up without an explanation in my books. Conclusion: the PVE content will be about the players discovering the evil nature of the headmaster and suddenly it all turns from Hogwarts to OG Scholomance.
I think people will play this because all of the Soul Fragment payoffs are very powerful, but this card specifically doesn't look as good as some of the other cards that shuffle Soul Fragments. I haven't seen Demonwrath played in a very long time. This card will be played because Soul Fragments are probably worth it, but it isn't my favorite card in the Soul Fragment package.
Demonwrath got worse because of Demon Hunters, you can't hurt their early Demons. I think it will be played in control anytime aggro rises.
Thanks to you for sharing the list! What made me suggest Zilliax is that you don't run any survival tools. No AOE, no heal. Zilliax stalls versus aggro, can take out a Ship's Cannon versus Pirate Warrior and, most important of all, if you stick him on a big Pogo Hopper, he can become a pseudo-Reno.
I've played a lot of Pogo Rogue in standard after its nerf to 1 Mana. In my experience, game winning combos usually were Pogo + Magic Carpet and pogo + Zilliax, once they were big enough. Of course Wild is a different place, but I'd recommend you to give Zilliax a chance. It should improve your chances against Pirate Warrior and Odd Demon Hunter.

I guess this card will be confusing to understand. It should write: "Your spells that deal damage are poisonous".
All in all, good card but in a class like hunter, won't see much play unfortunately

Goddamn, that's a strong one.

Explosive trap works with spell power so why shouldn't be poisonous? Poison trap!

They are normally worded "destroy a minion" :-)

guys obviously this card has nothing to do with spells summoning minions, it just wouldn't make sense based on how the card is worded.
But a question I do have is, how does this card work with explosive trap, I'm pretty sure it would be poisonous too but I just want to be sure

I’ve wanted Poisonous spells basically since it became a keyword..
I am super happy right now.

Good with Rapid Fire I guess. Not a very exciting card but removal tools are always nice for hunter.

Sick card. Can't wait to get this from Serpentshrine Portal

Just realised that too

RICK!

It does not work with such spells, obviously.
Professor Slate is a New Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
I just doesn't work I'm pretty sure. The spell would make a minion but the minion wouldn't be a spell itself.
Professor Slate is a New Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Nice card, but i just want to go face!
Professor Slate is a New Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
I wonder how that works with spells that summon minions
Professor Slate is a New Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
That won't work. The hounds are made by the spell but are not spells themselves.

Harry Potter flavour ?

Instructor Fireheart is a New Shaman Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Discover (3) 3/3 is already an auto-include in almost every deck.
If you draw this in late-game it's even better!
I don't see how this card is supposed to not worth the play...
New Shaman Minion - Instructor Fireheart
The size of the randomness makes this a little hard to evaluate, but I imagine you'd be doing well if you generated 2 or 3 useful spells from this.
Not sure if decks want this, just by merit of inconsistency, but if you really need a boardwipe or burn, you can pick the cheapest option to re-roll.
It's fine, but I can't imagine it being a mainstay of many decks.
New Warlock Spell - School Spirits
Demonwrath got worse because of Demon Hunters, you can't hurt their early Demons. I think it will be played in control anytime aggro rises.
Midrange: Pogo Rogue
Thanks to you for sharing the list! What made me suggest Zilliax is that you don't run any survival tools. No AOE, no heal. Zilliax stalls versus aggro, can take out a Ship's Cannon versus Pirate Warrior and, most important of all, if you stick him on a big Pogo Hopper, he can become a pseudo-Reno.
