I love this card. I love just adding a bunch of niche tech cards in the band, and picking one depending on the matchup. I think ETC will continue to see play in a lot of decks, and in Wild ETC is good in EVEN decks so they can get ODD Cost cards, and in Reno decks so they can get a 2nd copy of a card.
Funny card and great flavor. This seems bad though. People will use the best cards in their decks, so it will probably discover garbage most of the time. of course this gets better near rotations, because then there will be a lot bigger pool of cards. So funnely enough this card will probably be a lot better after the 3th expansion releases this HS year, or right when it's about to rotate in a few years.
However i think this might see play in a lot of warrior decks, because whatever is garbage for other classes is probably better than whatever warrior has right now. :(
Must-include card for almost every deck. Weapon tutors are amazing, and every class gets a weapon this expansion. Also this might break wild because it can tutor Twig of the World Tree or Sphere of Sapience.
Also comparing this to Axe Berserker is hilarious. And it's a better Weapons Expert in terms of just drawing a weapon. (Of course Weapons Expert has that +1/+1 buff which makes it better sometimes.) lol, warrior.
This is interesting. Every class gets a weapon so this seems nice. Some classes may run this because +1 durability could help them swing with their weapon for 1 more turn, al the while charging their weapons effect up for longer.
Also in priest this seems decent. Giving Idol's Adoration +1 durability is quite nice, basically turns Air Guitarist into another Tour Guide as long as you have the weapon equiped.
Seems really bad. And Glacial Shard comes back in the core set, which is way better than Annoying Fan.
There is 1 important reason why this card exists, and no not just as a pack filler. It was confirmed that this card can be summoned from Annoy-o Horn which is a nerf to that treasure and Kazakusan... Although it also got buffed because Annoy-o-Troupe got added into the pool as well.
great alongside Snakebite, Sinful Brand and Wrathscale Naga. This will be great in a outcast deck, or a token DH deck. (even though Token DH has never been that good.)
5 star card. Why: Mana cheat AND tutoring. This is NUTS. Discounts and draws Fierce Outsider and Vengeful Walloper in outcast DH and it discounts and draws Halveria Darkraven in whatever deck that fits in.
So this acts like a worse Clawfury Adept on its own, but needs more cards in order to get more buffs. This seems... alright to me i guess? It's still a finisher and thus needs to be respected, but at the same time it doesn't look like the greatest finisher to me.
Seems alright to me. It's restricted to DH cards which is a good thing. It's hard to kill on turn 4, and can curve alright into Going Down Swinging. Honestly i think outcast DH is going to run this card, because this turns their Calamity's Grasp and Glaivetar into a higher or equal attack weapon most of the time. Also this can act as a tech option against weapon tech cards.
Well this seems really good. A 4 attack weapon is good in DH, and Scythe showed that card like these even with no text are still good for going FACE.
Outcast DH is already on the verge of working out, and this weapon seems especially good as long as you draw 2 cards which means it's already great if you only play 1 outcast card. This seems great!
Possessed Lackey reprint, and obviously powercrept because if has better stats and can pull a powercrept version of Voidlord. (Annoy-o-Troupe) Also looking at the text, i think you can manipulate the cards that get pulled? Lets say you want to summon a minion with 3+ attack, then you need to buff Lead Dancer with idunno a card like Blessing of Kings first.
Powercrept Voidlord? I think this will see play. It does require some support, like Kangor, Dancing King and Lead Dancer. I think this will be a card people can sleep on. This is super annoying to remove, and can stall for some time.
OH YES, i love these often complete trash *ahem* fun legendaries! Don't care how competative this card will be, i will be playing BIG Paladin a lot!
But okay lets see if this can have any chance. BIG Paladin can get Starlight Groove for survivability, and the core set has a lot of nice things for paladin, like the buffed Consecration. A lot of BIG Paladin support from altarac rotates, but paladin does still have Front Lines and they can just run Rivendare, Warrider as an alternative wincon. And this expansion also gives BIG Paladin Lead Dancer and Annoy-o-Troupe as further support.
I feel like BIG paladin can have a chance this expansion, BUT i don't think this new BIG support is locked to ONLY BIG Paladin. I feel like some of these card can also slot into a (pure) control paladin deck.
It is weak to silence though, BUT silence doesn't get runned that often.. Except for priest. Priest loves their Shard of the Naaru, which is now in core.
Well now that we know the core set, Inzah seems a lot better. (Mainly thanks to Overdraft being in core) Inzah makes it so you can cheat a LOT of mana throughout a game, and i feel like this will be a must-include in a lot of shaman decks that use a bunch of overload cards.
Oh and also remember that Cold Storage is a card, so you can get multiple Inzahs.
Would Ragnaros the Firelord be good enough these days for only 5 mana, or 4 after Inzah? To me the answer is... OBVIOUSLY YES! This card seems nuts, especially with the overload package, but this card doesn't even need the overload package. I feel like this will be a solid inclusion in almost every shaman deck for quite some time.
Hmm, this seems alright. Not bad but also not great. This needs some real support, otherwise it's just a minion you like to evolve into. Seems great in arena though.
This will be an important card for shaman in this first expansion. This will replace Tiny Toys in evolve shaman decks, and overload shaman will obviously also use this. This seems good alongside Inzah and Jazz Bass. Also Flowrider can discover this from your deck, and you can also JIVE, INSECT! one of the summoned minions on the next turn... Or on the same turn post Inzah, but that requires either waiting until turn 9 OR playing this for 6 mana + having 4 mana discount ready on your weapon.
New Neutral Minion - E.T.C., Band Manager
I love this card. I love just adding a bunch of niche tech cards in the band, and picking one depending on the matchup. I think ETC will continue to see play in a lot of decks, and in Wild ETC is good in EVEN decks so they can get ODD Cost cards, and in Reno decks so they can get a 2nd copy of a card.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Snakebite
Since it procs off both sides this could be a pretty big Swing.
All Day 7 Card Reveals for Hearthstone's Festival of Legends Expansion
Yay endless discovers just what we needed...
New Neutral Minion - Hipster
Funny card and great flavor. This seems bad though. People will use the best cards in their decks, so it will probably discover garbage most of the time. of course this gets better near rotations, because then there will be a lot bigger pool of cards. So funnely enough this card will probably be a lot better after the 3th expansion releases this HS year, or right when it's about to rotate in a few years.

New Neutral Minion - Instrument Tech
Must-include card for almost every deck. Weapon tutors are amazing, and every class gets a weapon this expansion. Also this might break wild because it can tutor Twig of the World Tree or Sphere of Sapience.
Also comparing this to Axe Berserker is hilarious. And it's a better Weapons Expert in terms of just drawing a weapon. (Of course Weapons Expert has that +1/+1 buff which makes it better sometimes.) lol, warrior.
New Neutral Minion - Air Guitarist
This is interesting. Every class gets a weapon so this seems nice. Some classes may run this because +1 durability could help them swing with their weapon for 1 more turn, al the while charging their weapons effect up for longer.
Also in priest this seems decent. Giving Idol's Adoration +1 durability is quite nice, basically turns Air Guitarist into another Tour Guide as long as you have the weapon equiped.
New Neutral Minion - Frequency Oscillator
must-include in every mech deck. Absolutely insane minion.
New Neutral Minion - Annoying Fan
Seems really bad. And Glacial Shard comes back in the core set, which is way better than Annoying Fan.
There is 1 important reason why this card exists, and no not just as a pack filler. It was confirmed that this card can be summoned from Annoy-o Horn which is a nerf to that treasure and Kazakusan... Although it also got buffed because Annoy-o-Troupe got added into the pool as well.
New Demon Hunter Spell - SECURITY!!
great alongside Snakebite, Sinful Brand and Wrathscale Naga. This will be great in a outcast deck, or a token DH deck. (even though Token DH has never been that good.)
New Demon Hunter Minion - Snakebite
This seems quite good thanks to SECURITY!! and Command the Illidari, and if it gets discounted by Rush the Stage it gets even better. I think this will see play.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Rush the Stage
5 star card. Why: Mana cheat AND tutoring. This is NUTS. Discounts and draws Fierce Outsider and Vengeful Walloper in outcast DH and it discounts and draws Halveria Darkraven in whatever deck that fits in.
Other notable rush minions include: Azsharan Defector, Illidari Inquisitor and maybe Shambling Chow.
Edit: forgot about Snakebite, this makes Snakebite so much better.
This card will see a lot of play.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Halveria Darkraven
So this acts like a worse Clawfury Adept on its own, but needs more cards in order to get more buffs. This seems... alright to me i guess? It's still a finisher and thus needs to be respected, but at the same time it doesn't look like the greatest finisher to me.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Going Down Swinging
This seems alright to me, not bad but also not nuts. Seems good with +attack cards like Dispose of Evidence.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Instrument Smasher
DH weapons in standard after rotation + core set change: Flamereaper, Glaivetar, Souleater's Scythe, Bone Glaive, Calamity's Grasp, Magnifying Glaive and Aldrachi Warblades.
Seems alright to me. It's restricted to DH cards which is a good thing. It's hard to kill on turn 4, and can curve alright into Going Down Swinging. Honestly i think outcast DH is going to run this card, because this turns their Calamity's Grasp and Glaivetar into a higher or equal attack weapon most of the time. Also this can act as a tech option against weapon tech cards.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Eye of Shadow
Unleash Fel is better, and running this only because of Going Down Swinging isn't worth it. Arena card.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Glaivetar
Well this seems really good. A 4 attack weapon is good in DH, and Scythe showed that card like these even with no text are still good for going FACE.
Outcast DH is already on the verge of working out, and this weapon seems especially good as long as you draw 2 cards which means it's already great if you only play 1 outcast card. This seems great!
New Paladin Minion - Lead Dancer
Possessed Lackey reprint, and obviously powercrept because if has better stats and can pull a powercrept version of Voidlord. (Annoy-o-Troupe) Also looking at the text, i think you can manipulate the cards that get pulled? Lets say you want to summon a minion with 3+ attack, then you need to buff Lead Dancer with idunno a card like Blessing of Kings first.
New Paladin Minion - Annoy-o-Troupe
Powercrept Voidlord? I think this will see play. It does require some support, like Kangor, Dancing King and Lead Dancer. I think this will be a card people can sleep on. This is super annoying to remove, and can stall for some time.
Also on twitter they confirmed Annoy-o-Troupe can be summoned from Annoy-o Horn. So i guess Kazakusan got a buff as well
New Paladin Minion - Kangor, Dancing King
OH YES, i love these often complete trash *ahem* fun legendaries! Don't care how competative this card will be, i will be playing BIG Paladin a lot!
But okay lets see if this can have any chance. BIG Paladin can get Starlight Groove for survivability, and the core set has a lot of nice things for paladin, like the buffed Consecration.

Oh and also remember that Cold Storage is a card, so you can get multiple Inzahs.
New Shaman Spell - JIVE, INSECT!
Would Ragnaros the Firelord be good enough these days for only 5 mana, or 4 after Inzah? To me the answer is... OBVIOUSLY YES! This card seems nuts, especially with the overload package, but this card doesn't even need the overload package. I feel like this will be a solid inclusion in almost every shaman deck for quite some time.
New Shaman Spell - Altered Chord
So if your overloaded this costs 2 mana, and after Inzah it costs only 1 mana when overloaded. This seems great for any slower shaman deck!
New Shaman Minion - Brass Elemental
Hmm, this seems alright. Not bad but also not great. This needs some real support, otherwise it's just a minion you like to evolve into. Seems great in arena though.
New Shaman Weapon - Jazz Bass
Mana cheat. Insta 5-star card. Shaman will use this a bunch.
New Shaman Spell - Pack the House
This will be an important card for shaman in this first expansion. This will replace Tiny Toys in evolve shaman decks, and overload shaman will obviously also use this. This seems good alongside Inzah and Jazz Bass. Also Flowrider can discover this from your deck, and you can also JIVE, INSECT! one of the summoned minions on the next turn... Or on the same turn post Inzah, but that requires either waiting until turn 9 OR playing this for 6 mana + having 4 mana discount ready on your weapon.
This card will see plenty of play.
