So if I'm not wrong the reduce cost is "perma" but only happens during your turn right? and no need for it to be on hand if I read it right unlike Jumbo Imp
Not sure what deck needs a plain 0 mana 8/8 right now, but this is easy enough to discount in pain zoolock that it could be very good at 4 or 5 mana as a curve topper.
No doubt a good card. The art is gloriously horrifying - me likey. I think it'll find a home in any Warlock deck, aggro or control, and should see some play in Priest as well. Low-cost big-stat minions are always good, and this looks like it'll easily drop down to (0). The fact that it doesn't have to be in your hand makes it even better.
The first match I played I used the ephemeral deck. It was obvious without even seeing the other decks that ephemerals would rule over a mode like that.
Yes, but also Disciplinarian Gandling looks more like a warlock card than a priest card. Maybe all of theset will always weight more on 1 class than the other.
Before I say anything else, I cannot wait to see this as a Golden minion. The glint in my eye is blinding me as I type!
Besides that, I'm not savvy enough to know how this card will be used. I've read a lot about it's potential in Zoolock, or even Tempo Priest, but we have Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, and that has only seen limited play. If it manages to stick around after being played, it could be a strong card, but I'm just going to wait and see.
If it's beautiful in Gold though, I'm crafting it anyways and no one can stop me!!!
I'm pretty sure it still only reduces the cost only when it's in your hand. Like Obsidian Shard, while there is no "While this is in your hand" in the card text, it still requires being in your hand to reduce.
Moreover, if Flesh Giant could reduce even if it's in your deck, there should have been "this game" or "wherever it is" phrase in the card text.
At first I thought it was completely insane (in warlock, it's average in priest), but the more I think the more it seems like a clunkier EVIL Recruiter. It's still an obvious pick for zoolock though, since the ability to "buff" ANY minion is much better than just being limited to lackeys.
A very interesting card for sure, but it seems like it will more easily find a home in Warlock than Priest. With how easy it is to damage your hero in Warlock, I could see a possible tempo or midrange self-damage warlock come to fruition with this plus the other P/W card revealed today. The issue in Priest is that there are some matchups where you will not be able to consistently heal your face. Additionally, Warlock self-damage cards have above-average stats for the cost to compensate for hurting your face, making it easier to play them on curve while Priest healing effects are more conditional in getting value (your hero has to be damaged) and their healing takes up power budget instead of allotting more. All that said, Priest's quest saw amounts of success despite running into similar issues, so this might find a home there as well.
Getting a partial discount is easy, but it will take quite a bit of time (and Health in the case of Warlock) to get this thing really cheap. It could definitely be good, but I'm not so sure.
With no 'when in your hand' description, I would assume that the discount persist even if the card is still in your deck.
Again, this is mostly a warlock card, since its easier for them to deal damage to themselves without sacrificing tempo. This is easily a 0 mana 8/8 in many cases, almost mirroring how Molten Giant worked in the old handlock days. But things have changed, and 8/8s are no longer as hard to remove now.
Its still a great card, above average from the rest. There's also a possibility of combo here somewhere. 0 mana stuff tend to be broken one way or another. Unlike the other cards we've seen, this can fit easily in any deck that would want a 0 mana 8/8 past turns 6-8.

I think Priests could make good use of this too with there healing power and Life steal effects they been getting.

New Rogue & Warrior Minion - Steeldancer
Weapon Warrior slowly becoming more viable one expansion at a time.
Play
on Turn 3 for 8 mana value on Turn 4.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Flesh Giant
Pretty much 0 mana giant on quest lock, free tempo in mid/early game its even better than mountain giant in most cases 5 stars
New Demon Hunter Spell - Cycle of Hatred
Perhaps Deathrattle DH can be a thing.
Otherwise it's too slow and weak.

SACRIFICE!
SACRIFICE THEM ALL!

VERY strong.
But disgusting character...
Jinx is bugged.
She doesn't make a rocket when in combat.
Scholomance Academy
Uh... So, are we getting just the 2x epic card as freebie for this expansion? Would be pretty underwhelming, so I hope there's something else...

At least 3+5 damage to own face, instant Turn 3 double Flesh Giants.

0 mana 8/8. If there was a way to duplicate this into the hand, then you've just got yourselves a bunch of free giants.
Just a very strong card thats flexible enough to fit into any warlock deck, and some select priest decks.

It's "each time", not "for every Health point changed" so you need to change Health more than once during your turn to cheat it out early

What are the 6 decks?

Looks more like a priest card than a warlock one.
