It's some nice refill for a murloc deck, but it's no Underbelly Angler. That card alone makes Murloc Paladin not worth playing over Murloc Shaman, and thus this card will see very little play.
If a Libram paladin sees play, it's because of this card. It's decent at 9, and bonkers at 6 or 5. Especially getting more of these back with Lady Liadrin will crush any type of agression.
2 mana draw a card is MEH, but you give it +3/+3 and it's suddenly great we saw many cards that have synergy with higher stats this expansion.. also it curves into them.. so.. this card is great.
I don't see the OTK but it works on the tempo side of things
Though I feel bad for Mage main's that the only support they receive is more Casino cards. That seems to be the only identity Mage is allowed to have anymore.
Yeah...I'm *really* tired of seeing Casino Mage get support. Can we go back to Elementals, or maybe even Mech Mage again? A singular direction that employs a game-plan other than "generate random stuff, ???, Profit!"
Oh how excited I will be to pull the prime version of this off of Scavenger's Ingenuity or even hit it with Scrap Shot :O then what about Hunting Party oooo the possibilities are endless :D
It's a decent secret, but historically decent secrets have only seen play in Mage when you can cheat them out a lot. I don't see it replacing any secret in Wild either.
Sure, it's good in a murloc deck, but honestly I could just see this being run as a pretty good 2-drop in a midrange paladin deck. It's basically a Shotbot that shuffles a one-card board flood into your deck. What's not to like?
Hunter got a bunch of deathrattles this expansion.. 2 of them at the 3 mana slot so I can see this card being good, also it has rush and we still got quest and the side quest for rush minions.
Even outside of pure spell mage, this is just a huge RNG value bomb. Not gonna look forward to a mage with an empty hand topdecking this into 2 Fireballs, but we all know that's gonna happen.
New Paladin Minion - Aldor Truthseeker
Amazing card, and the reason that Libram paladin will see some amount of play.
New Paladin Weapon - Underlight Angling Rod

New Paladin Spell - Libram of Hope

New Paladin Minion - Murgur Murgurgle
Just a good card for the cost, not much else to say. It's like a slightly weaker Shielded Minibot that gives a big pay-off in the lategame.
New Mage Spell - Evocation
So. Tired. Of. Casino. Mage.
New Paladin Minion - Lady Liadrin
I can see this seeing play in a slow-ish Libram paladin, but it's just such bad tempo to play. Also risks filling your hand with Libram of Wisdom x10.
New Hunter Spell - Scavenger's Ingenuity
2 mana draw a card is MEH, but you give it +3/+3 and it's suddenly great we saw many cards that have synergy with higher stats this expansion.. also it curves into them.. so.. this card is great.

New Mage Minion - Astromancer Solarian

Anyway, this card appears to be amazing.

Hearthstone Masters Tour Jönköping and Asia-Pacific Both Moved to Online Only
Wise decision.
New Mage Minion - Starscryer
It's a better Loot Hoarder. If you want card draw in mage, you play this. Also can be used to tutor Luna's Pocket Galaxy in wild.
New Mage Spell - Incanter's Flow
Mana cheat is always broken. It's a huge tempo loss, but this card will break the game at some point.
New Mage Spell - Netherwind Portal
It's a decent secret, but historically decent secrets have only seen play in Mage when you can cheat them out a lot. I don't see it replacing any secret in Wild either.
New Mage Spell - Font of Power
Good value for spell-only mage, but not enough with just Apexis Blast as its partner to make the deck archetype worth it.
New Paladin Minion - Murgur Murgurgle

New Mage Minion - Imprisoned Observer
I think this is too slow, and too easy to play against. 2 damage is good against token decks, but skipping turn 3 against those will prove disastrous.
New Hunter Spell - Pack Tactics
Seems like one of the better secrets Phase Stalker getting this and removed by trading is super annoying.
New Mage Spell - Deep Freeze
2 words: too slow. Sure, 2 water elementals for 8 mana is decent value, but you want to be doing more powerful stuff on 8 mana than that.
New Hunter Minion - Mok'Nathal Lion
Hunter got a bunch of deathrattles this expansion.. 2 of them at the 3 mana slot so I can see this card being good, also it has rush and we still got quest and the side quest for rush minions.
New Mage Minion - Apexis Smuggler
Will see play if (when?) we get more secret mana cheating in standard. Not strong enough for secret mage in wild.
Legends of Runeterra Patch 0.9.3 Arrives this Tuesday - Vault Level Cap Removed, Expedition Reward Revamp, XP Changes
they had the nerf planned weeks before the official date launch. harrowing needed a nerf no matter what. glad its been "bugged" for the past patch
New Mage Spell - Apexis Blast
This will see play in pure spell mage, but I don't think that it's enough pay-off for that deck to work.
New Hunter Spell - Scrap Shot
I really don't like it.. it's not [Hearthstone Card (flanking shot) Not Found].. it has the same stats but the +3/+3 is much slower..
New Mage Spell - Evocation
Even outside of pure spell mage, this is just a huge RNG value bomb. Not gonna look forward to a mage with an empty hand topdecking this into 2 Fireballs, but we all know that's gonna happen.
New Hunter Spell - Nagrand Slam
Kael'thas Sunstrider + Rapid Fire + Nagrand Slam.
turn 8 or 6 with the coin to get the board really hard, all cards are kind of good stand alone so this might work.
but you kind of need 2 Nagrand Slam to justify running kael'thas.
