the statlline alone is already great, but I wonder how the mechanic works? Will it activate on a spell even if it still has DS or do you actually have to hold off on spells until the first shield was popped?
I think it gives it a divine shield right after you play a spell, after this is played on board.
Means if it already have a divine shield, then nothing will happen if you happen to play a spell after it. Works only once though.
Very strong card that will be in every shaman deck.
If Im not mistaken spellburst will cause the next spell you play after this to be returned to your hand. If this keep spell discounts this is straight up busted.
Doubling spells should never be underestimated. Outside of that its still a vanilla 2 drop that must be killed if the spellburst is not activated on the same turn.
Doesn't work. Spellburst works once and only once. You can't use Lightning Bolt eight times. I mean can you imagine what happens if it works as you suggest it? Play it at turn 2 and you have a Coin? Infinite Mana.
At some point this will be nerfed to 1 mana, or to only refresh mana crystals. Why isn't it just refresh mana crystals though? Its effectively a turn 1 5 drop that immediately ends the game in some cases. Oh, and the paltry fact that they have to skip development on turn 2 is quite moot considering both shaman and druids always had poor turn 2s anyway.
Beyond this there's always ramp for combo potential, like in totem shaman, where its always just 1 mana crystal away from doing truly ridiculous turns.
I want to like this, but this is almost inevitably going to cause problems in standard at some point.
We were not exactly prepared for dual-class cards being announced, so we need to implement a bit of a behind-the-scenes logic so they show up properly, they will show up in their place soon ;-)
Or you can look at it the other way, having Faceless appear in multiple expansions hint of some dark forces having their agents in multiple regions gathering their power and this is a long foreshadowing of something big to come! :)
This card could be seen in future Ramp Druid decks. It has a solid curve if you play this on turn 1 and then turn 2 Wild Growth. It will be like Wild Growth never got changed at all! Overall, I think this card will fit in the Spell Druid decks with being able to discover other strong cards such as Overgrowth and Savage Roar.
It seems that Kel'thuzad have little experience with necromancy, and is still one of the Kirin Tor Council of 6. But he's already conforming the Cult of the Damned, there are two directories of this.
Something that attracted my attention was "Nefarious" files (Nefarian another evil researcher anyone?), if you take this into account and includes the Old God's chats, looks like the mage is very busy with his research. Even one of the corrupt files, or scrolls, point to Stitches an abomination (S$%%tches.crpt, literally a crypt file), even knitting files added.
Much eggs on one basket, from a lore perspective, but I like it!
Edit: The mouse pointer is the same that undead race have on Warcraft 3

This card is dope, idk if it'll be good but it's really cool.

Also something we are working on, we have the assets, but not in the right form, so we need to adjust them for our site.
New Neutral Minion - Onyx Magescribe
Great in Arena for sure, but too slow for constructed. Maybe it can find a place in slower dragon decks, but I doubt it.
New Paladin Minion - Goody Two-Shields
I think it gives it a divine shield right after you play a spell, after this is played on board.

Gotta love it when they throw curve balls that disrupts the code at the core. No rest for the wicked, appreciate all you do man!

This would be broken if it was neutral

This card was only printed because Divine Spirit was sent to wild

New Shaman/Mage Spell - Devolving Missiles
Can't wait to see this in Trolden videos when it hits a 1-drop 3 times.
Lol Diligent Notetaker...
Spellburst, as far as I understand only happens on the first spell you cast after this card is played.
Diligent Notetaker is very strong, but you dont get to infinite spells from this card.

Thank you guys for the list. ;)

When will you guys add a banner around the Demon Hunter name to match the other classes?

Considering I never played WoW and know nothing about the lore, yeah, you sold me.
