Wow! This one is crazy! Not only good in aggro with smaller minions, but also in midrange decks with understated battlecry minions like Defender of Argus which I haven't seen in a while.
I would be very much surprised if this didn't push zoo warlock to tier 1 or making the infamous (but failed most of the time) zoo priest. works really good with deathrattles and even surprisingly good push into the late game. It would disappointing if this ends up being too slow but that wouldn't stop me from trying.
Cheaper Wasteland Assassin, and it's a deathrattle card so it can give deathrattle rogue a lot more burst in WILD. But standard doesn't have that much GOOD deathrattle synergy for rogue, unless they are going to give us some more this expansion. Also it has stealth, so it will certainly get runned in stealth rogue. And after Galakrond Rogue took a big hit, stealth rogue might actually stand a bit more of a chance. If this dies while trading into your opponents taunt minion, and they have no other minions on board, it will be free 4 dmg to face. Also this card only has 2 health, this can be both beneficial, and detrimental. If this is one of your only minions, and your opponent wants to use a board clear, then they might consider not playing the clear because they don't want the deathrattle to activate. (and they rather want to wait till you attack face with it, so that they can silence it/transform it)
Not quite sure why it's a legendary, but eh, rogue already has a good set so far. So it doesn't hurt that bad i guess. (I personally feel like this should have been an epic at most.)
A pretty good card for tempo decks, and another card that slots nicely into tempo deathrattle priest, which is a remarkably good deck.
The combo potential of killing minions as soon as you play them is probably not anything that spiritsinger umbra can't do, but this definitely has potential.
Interesting, but probably too expensive for aggro decks to make good use of. Maybe you can use this with lackeys or eggs, but I don't have much hope for this card.
Effect is obviously nuts, effect is a lot easier to activate in Warlock naturally, since Lifetap is unpreventable and you can play around it in Priest by simply not going face (like in the days of playing against the Quest), but still, 5-star card all around.

7 mana is a lot, BUT it reloads the board for DH. This will see play in every control DH deck, so they can "switch" to full SMOrc. I guess this expansion will be more Token DH based instead of tempo DH? Also 3 dmg AOE is already good at 7 mana, and it HARDcounters The Forest's Aid by destroying their board and "ressing" it on your side with +1/+1. Also a 3/3 baseline is annoying to get rid off, unless you (or your opponent) has a big spell like Flamestrike. Also after this card gets a reduced cost by Skull of Gul'dan, it will be a 4 mana clear + get a big board... Seems like a strong, but not busted card to me, surprisingly, as we are talking about a DH card.
HOWEVER this card might be the next "0mG bL7zZ Pls N3rF!1!11!" card. (- signed by every aggro player that somehow doesn't kill their opponent before late game.)
Extremely minor gripe: I like the card's effect, but not its name. Combustion is a Fire Mage buff that shrouds them in flames, so I'd expect a card like Combustion to have a Spell Damage element or, even more specifically, to buff Mage spells that involve fire (too specific to be playable, I'm sure). But even if this card doesn't turn out to be good, I like cards that make us think about positioning. I also like that it only costs 3, so Mage can flexibly remove 1+ minions before Fireball/Polymorph.
Strong Card for sure. This can ensure: a turn 1 play, the activation of Spellburst, some interaction with Kael'thas Sunstrider , some extravalue for agro paladin decks
Almost like Flamestrike with no tempo loss. First comes to mind Flamestrike + Dragoncaster, but probably a better version of this because demon hunter likes tokens. Seems strong! We will probably see a lot of this, if the demon hunter gets new archetypes.
It's a good card and Paladin have access to a lot of cheap spell. So the probabilty that this card can trade and regain the divine shield is high imo. Right now can be used in Libran Paladin but probably can be used in any paladin archetype
I'm not a super fan of this card. If we don't overkill is a "frostball" with +1mana +1damage (not so great imho). If we will overkill we are going to aspect 1-2 damage to neighbors. This can be super strong against agro deck, otherwise is needed to be in control of the board (to set the card with some trade) or have some spellpower.
Well looks like Zoolock is back. Zoolock loves egg-cards, and this gives really good tokens! Those 2/1 stats are amazing for aggro! And it even has discard synergy?!? That's really nice! Discardlock is already a really strong deck in WILD, and they will definitely use this!
Edit: In standard this is a card you don't mind discarding from something like Soulfire, so having this card in hand lowers the chance you discard another Soulfire or another card that is important.

Strong card for Warlock decks but I don't see a place at all in Priest decks.
Disciplinarian Gandling is a New Priest & Warlock Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
This seems strong... Trigger deathrattles on summon and replace weak statted drops with 4/4s.
Disciplinarian Gandling is a New Priest & Warlock Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
epic card from an epic man. Helios approves
Disciplinarian Gandling
Well both Zoo and certain priest deck can take advantage of this...

I loved Brian's acting in this video. As for the card itself, this seems very good in zoo/egg warlock.
New Priest Minion - Frazzled Freshman
Strange card...
Can be used on turn 1 agaist agro deck to make some value/free trade. Can also enable this play:
turn 1: Frazzled Freshman
turn 2: Kul Tiran Chaplain
turn 3: Dragonmaw Overseer
However i'm not sold on this card. I don't think card will find a spot in the majority of decks

That's a fancy egg activator
New Rogue Minion - Infiltrator Lilian
"Random enemy," so you could theoretically set this up to go face for 8 damage, like a mini Rag.
I don't think it's good enough to be seen in most serious lists, but I haven't played HS in like 6 months.

Right now can be used in Libran Paladin but probably can be used in any paladin archetype
New Mage Spell - Combustion
I'm not a super fan of this card. If we don't overkill is a "frostball" with +1mana +1damage (not so great imho).
If we will overkill we are going to aspect 1-2 damage to neighbors. This can be super strong against agro deck, otherwise is needed to be in control of the board (to set the card with some trade) or have some spellpower.
So...for now it's an "ok card" for me
