Rogues can really do with mage spells, and is the main beneficiary of this card in my opinion. Might just replace Pharaoh Cat as the main 1 drop, since its essentially the same body but with a much more reliable effect.
Not sure, but does this card itself count as part of Bazaar Burglary? If the answer is yes, then yes, this is busted.
It probably would be playable with "random mage spell", the discover effect makes it really good. Cards like this makes me dream about the parallel universe where Tess Greymane is a classic card.
Its not as broken as it looks like. You still need to play and put this into your deck, and in some cases, its effect may not even swing boards. Its still a 1/1 at the end of the day. Reminds me of Serrated Tooth and that didn't see any play neither.
I'd play it in zoo, maybe as a 1 off in some midrange deck like dragon hunter.
So very strong. So very strange. In what deck would this see play? You need something to bring down the cost- or at least a lot of ramp to play it soon- but also a lot of minions. In the best case it is a win-more card, but mostly it is a lose-now card. But maybe there could be some kind of Big-Spell/Spiteful druid in wild?
Its actually deceptively powerful in my opinion. Basically blocks some common tempo spells like Backstab or Seal Fate. Against druids, its just game ending. The 1 additional mana makes lots of difference in a tempo style game like hearthstone.
A reasonably good tech card that can be a staple in aggro decks. Not too bad really.
Scary card, unless you're druid. Its hard to think up a place for this thing in druid. Basically, unless its cheated out Embiggen is just a better card.
The fact that other classes like priest, mage or rogue can get it is the real deal with this card.
I agree that it gives you options you wouldn't have otherwise based on the board, but I feel like that eventually, players will learn the effects of the card and know what to play around based on the board. If it was instead the Boomsday board, you will know to consider holding at least one removal spell on the account that your opponent may drop a 7/7 taunt Transfer Student.
Your case was unique since it was randomly discovered, but I've also had games where I discover Veranus against a Spell Druid as well which also won me the game, but I got it off Primordial Explorer. Some games in Hearthstone do end because of something like Primordial Glyph > Primordial Glyph > Primordial Glyph > Pyroblast, but the odds that actually happens often are extremely low. Moments like these are not reliable win conditions, it's just that a card you happen to play in your deck happens to have been able to execute a nutty combo that won you the game (like in the case of [Hearthstone Card (Edwin Van Cleef) Not Found], people don't play him to get a 12/12 on turn 4, but because he's just a good card, and he can just so happen to sometimes be a 12/12 on turn 4).
Now I'm not saying this kind of out-of-your-control variance is a good thing. In fact, I think the vast disparity in power level between the boards (a Shotbot on the Uldum board compared to a better EVIL Cable Rat on the RoS board) is what's cause for concern. Perhaps these moments where the stars align won't be too frequent, else there's probably going to be some controversy around this card, potentially even seeing it banned in tournaments because of how swingy it is.
Interesting mega-buff. Probably not for spell druid due to the lack of minions to be buffed. Could be used with Kael'thas Sunstrider, this expansion really seems like his time to shine!
Blizz wtf is this? Blessing of Kings for every minion literally. Cute card. The card itself is not scary when played by druid, its just game ending when played by other classes capable of getting a copy, i.e. priest, mage and rogue. Ironically, druids themselves have no protection against others playing this card.
The broom is basically a carpet for a turn. The ease of use, with the low mana cost will make it a staple in aggro and midrange decks. But its lack of bulk make it a little unwieldy in an aggro deck though.
This will be played for sure. Maybe good enough to try Even Pally in Wild? Also, the way it is worded it should give you minions outside of Pally class, which is huge.
I would like to see the druid to run this please. So there will be a total of 5 two-class legendaries? Or will there be more than one card per combination?

Considering the new druid card has the placeholder "Fluffy Fight" name, could someone photoshop some pillows into the art?

And I thought they said they were going to lower the RNG involvement in the game ;)
Shan'do Wildclaw
I think it is one of these cards that are either broken or unplayable. This one, actually, may be both - broken in Hunter and unplayable in Druid.

Serrated Tooth for all classes

Combo piece. Rattlegore came first to mind for some reason, but also summoning cards like Glowfly Swarm or Mass Resurrection could use this.

2x Embiggen in one card, which costs 10 more mana. Dunno, maybe it finds place in some kind aggro druid?
New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles
If you look closely, you will see that Troublemaker and his two buddies are being devolved here.

Broom is just as concerning as faceless corruptor, if not more.
Ironically, in a supposedly Spell-focused expansion, Tempo swings with minions is supported ad the way to go.
