So their Totems and Treants in one? That's interesting.
In shaman: This boosts the power of totem shaman even more. They are really pushing this archetype i guess, even though it already was quite decent/good before. Also this is both removal and it has overload synergy. This will fit in a LOT of shaman decks, and will see a lot of play.
In Druid: This will certainly fit in treant Druid, and it gives druid some way to mass clear a board. (Sometimes) This will also see play in spell/Glowfly Swarm druid. This looks also like a solid spell for druid, this card will also see a lot of play in druid.
Nice 1 drop for mage, which was a long time coming ever since Mana Wyrm got nerfed to hell.
I poured shit on Ras Frostwhisper earlier for its lack of usage in mage, but seem like some sort of spell damage tempo mage that can use this, can actually exist after all.
I like it! Good stats for it's cost, and spell damage +1 on it as well! This also has good synergy with that new mage/shaman legendary. Also because of it's low cost this might also see play in some sort of burn mage deck. This card will see plenty of play, might just be the kinda card you slot into your deck because you needed something cheap.
Aside from the fact that shaman can actually buff these totems via totemic might and surge, totem shaman can use a little bit of defense to fight off aggro.
Looks like its totems or bust for shaman this time round.
Good for token druid. Not much else to say about that.
Hunter: I don't see that much synergy with hunter yet, because hunter already has Fresh Scent for buffing, and hunter already has a lot of other cards they prefer to play. But it might see play in quest hunter i guess
Decent in paladin, In standard this might get used in Quest Paladin so they can abuse the deathrattles/hero power synergy stuff even more. Also this will see play in Pure paladin, as pure paladin LOVES any kind of paladin card.
In priest it's GODTIER. This is the cheapest way in standard to copy a minions deathrattle, and priest can use this to do the fellowing insta-win combos:
This has incredible synergy with ress priest and Big priest, so i'm sure this will be used a lot, and i wouldn't even be surprised if this wil get nerfed to 4 mana, just because of Priest's sins. Needless to say, I HATE THIS CARD ALREADY.
Good statline for a 1-drop, and spell damage is at its most relevant in the early game. Likely to go somewhere, just by virtue of it being a very strong 1-drop.
Not expecting to see this in secret mage, however. This is probably just too low-impact for that deck.

This obviously powercreeps Dalaran Mage! (while also depicting an purple-clad gnome)

I think we'll need to wait for the separated spells, like Rampant Growth or Enrich to understand the choose effect properly...
New Mage Minion - Lab Partner
Solid 1-drop for any Mage deck that cares about spell damage synergies or burning the opponent out.

Its good in shaman, not so much in druid.

Calculated, all part of Blizzard's master plan to keep us sheep paying for their RNG I mean pixels I mean product.

[Hearthstone Card (Fluffy Firestarter) Not Found] makes that card look like complete garbage even more so than it already did lol

At 10 mana it can be combo'd with Soul of the Forest and the 0 mana if you have 3 treants draw 2 card. Not great though.

yeah it only appeared to me after a second viewing on the video itself. And I can actually read it too :(

Most times you won't use rush so the overload isn't a problem fortunately (:

Dalaran Mage cries in the corner.
Runic Carvings
Interesting card... Summon bunch of tokens, or if you are in a pinch give them rush at the cost of some overload

Imagine the spell class being about spell damage
New Druid & Shaman Spell - Runic Carvings
A little expensive for only 8/8 in stats.
The rush mode is nice, but a spell that fills you board with rush minions is probably just a bad board clear in most cases, especially for mana.
Runic Carvings is a New Druid & Shaman Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Yeah the language is confusing. 2 overload to give them rush. They're each both treants and totems.
Runic Carvings is a New Druid & Shaman Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
You don't have to overload though. If you summon them without rush

Huge card for mage. Just this makes tempo mage my first deck on day 1
New Paladin & Priest Spell - Gift of Luminance
Decent in paladin, In standard this might get used in Quest Paladin so they can abuse the deathrattles/hero power synergy stuff even more. Also this will see play in Pure paladin, as pure paladin LOVES any kind of paladin card.
In priest it's GODTIER. This is the cheapest way in standard to copy a minions deathrattle, and priest can use this to do the fellowing insta-win combos:
Insta-Win Combo #1: Gift of Luminance + Convincing Infiltrator. "Gr3Et7Ng2 F3lL0w HuM0n2." (any opponent just concedes.)
Insta-Win combo #2: Gift of Luminance + Khartut Defender. "0uR H0m3S, oUr 7uM8s" (Super effective against DH's in particular.)
This has incredible synergy with ress priest and Big priest, so i'm sure this will be used a lot, and i wouldn't even be surprised if this wil get nerfed to 4 mana, just because of Priest's sins. Needless to say, I HATE THIS CARD ALREADY.

As foretold by the prophecy. Treant totems

But why blizzard... Do we need to make mage even more annoying?
