I nominate Pit Commander to cross the Old Set Callback (Recruit) and Mana Cheating squares.

secrect rogue doesnt count as unexpexted archetype?

the box is casted that way to prevent loops (since every Box cast by Box would have a chance to cast Box itself)

In this case it's really just another spell and the whole "target enemies only" won't apply to the box anyways so I don#t see a problem

The only reason I could come up with that would exclude Box is that the standard spell pool is so small that casting Box would happen too often and kind of ruin the card because of it (going from reasonable RNG to complete randomness)

Either way, we'll see how it ends up.

Love it, first I was like "But how many secrets are in rogue that..." and then I read that it gives secrets from other classes.

Don't know if it will be good or not and even if it is kinda like Whirlkick Master this is still unique in its own way.

Perhaps more snark than explanation, so I guess I deserve the flak

No constructive druid deck needs this. A random 8 drop seems fine in theory, but from what we saw of druid archetypes, druid doesnt ever run out of things to play, not even embiggen druid. If they skip a turn, its most likely because a) they dont have enough mana, or b) to activate quest, or c) they are going to die and there's no taunt minion. A 7/7 rush is fine, and I'm not going to take that away its a really good effect and on curve too, but if cards like Oondasta couldn't make it to the tier 1 list of embiggen druid, I'm skeptical of the chances of a card that establishes less tempo and provides value to a deck that typically doesnt need it.

Also, let's not forget how cards like Winged Guardian made the list; its a taunt, and its untargetable. No matter the size of the minion, if it doesnt protect face at turn 7, there's always going to be some amount of skepticism, and if its targetable it means it doesnt hard counter classes like rogue or mage, 2 of the most popular classes currently.

But, as usual, since we dont have the full list of AoO, there might be more support for this card in future. As for now, my bets on this not making it.

Dammit! They print support for Hireek now?

Oh well, Wild Handbuff HandLock here we come 👏

Am I wrong or does Al'ar not fit the conditions for Rebirth as well?

"This will never be in the game"

How about tenth class?

It seems to have good value for its cost, and you can prepare your hand after playing it to receive the buff. 

There a re few cards like this in Magic and they are good, but in HS a big difference is that here, minions can target minions and with all the Rush minions around I'm not sure this will be a good card.
Still, hard to remove minions are never bad.

Love it, always a fan of RNG, and this seems like a good card overall (because you won't pyroblast your face)

Terrible, not because of its dormancy, but because the effect requires that you hold up your hand as well.

Unless we see a card that throws like 3 tokens into your hand, this card is perfectly useless. You play this, lose 2 turns, and presumably need to draw like the wind to get value out of this, losing even more tempo in the meantime.

There's a small chance a midrange handlock can use this better, but it'll need plenty of support. As it stands currently, the only deck that would want this is zoo, and losing tempo in zoo is not good.

there's a braum buff deck megamogwai played a few days ago, looks fun also not very expensive..

most decks are not expensive anyway..

as for control you got many options but you should look into shadow isles and ionia for the "spooky karma" deck or in freljord/shadow isles for the warmother's call control deck.. they run at least 3 champions though..

Would The Dark Portal be considered mana cheat? Or the Shaman spell that costs 3 less if you played a spell last turn? Or Eye Beam for Demon Hunter? It seems that their are a lot of mana cheat cards already.

Best part of the reveal period, here we go again

Under "Mana Cheating": does [Hearthstone Card (Kael'thas Sunstrider) Not Found] count for this category?

Maybe yogg can, but puzzle box can't:

It casting puzzlebox is not always a net positive which is the aim of this card.. so I assume there is no chance to cast box on this card it's an assumption though.

curses! ll my IRL friends quit this game! 

The first card I see from this set that I'd actually just call bad. Such a shame.

The box is coded to not cast the box I think it's reasonable to think this card is also coded to do so.

It's a shame how few people know the true glory of fishing pole paladin back in the day, so here's a history lesson.

Back in the days of Classic Crusader Strike didn't exist, and in BC it was your last talent in the Retribution tree. This made it so it didn't matter what weapon was in your hands as your Seals applied to yourself. Weapon skill also existed, which regulated hit chance and damage: low skill missed a lot and did less, high hit and did more. In the case of fishing poles, your Fishing skill was substituted for weapon skill, and could get much, MUCH higher than a normal weapon skill at lower levels. Thus, a paladin could get one of the nicer fishing poles, go into PvP in the mid-levels, and DESTROY anyone on their way. It was stupid fun.
