Essentially, until we get confirmation about the Metamorphosis + Archmage Vargoth interaction. Theoretically, it should mean you permanently keep the Metamorph Hero Power, even after using it twice. If it does work it's a two card combo that enables powerful control and burn in the late game. I think Beardo should be good enough on his own in Demon Hunter down the line, presuming you keep Taunts removed, but he has some OTK potential with Metamorphosis.
I can see that the amount of common cards is higher than usual. While it's good to have many common cards, since the rarity protection will affect them, the backside usually comes when dusting it. The average amount of dust will be smaller now.
This card is similar to Archmage Vargoth. It's not very strong on it's own, but can result in insane tempo swings in combination with some powerful spells.
Sap already allows for some strong tempo swings, but this effect is way stronger. Also comparable Freezing Trap, but you can choose which minion is returned to your opponents hand.

What do you think about the new minion that evolves adjacent ones? I think that should work on dormant, no?

No, thats not true. That's impossible!!
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Overseer
I always enjoyed using Shadow Ascendant. This is basically that, but with a better buff, and it only costs 1 more mana.
Commander Ledros got his text reworded...????
Maye you're reading it wrong. Cuts it in half rounded up could mean 0.5 -> 1, hence it does 1 damage.
You're right that at first you'd think it's meaning it rounds down to 0. I like the other way, so long as it remains in place.
Thrift Hunter - Midrange Beardo Demon Hunter
Brilliant statement, how could someone be so knowledgeable?

New Demon Hunter Spell - Soul Split
This card is probably too expensive and situational to benefit the aggressive playstyle of DH.
New Neutral Minion - Mo'arg Artificer
2/4 for 2 mana are great stats. The aura of this minion seems to be active for both players, which is an interesting effect.
New Neutral Minion - Teron Gorefiend
This card is insane! Besides the obvious synnergy with deathrattle cards, Teron Gorefiend can also allow for some interesting combos.

Not having an impact, but still smaller.
New Neutral Minion - Kael'thas Sunstrider
This card is similar to Archmage Vargoth. It's not very strong on it's own, but can result in insane tempo swings in combination with some powerful spells.
New Warrior Weapon - Bulwark of Azzinoth
Not sure about this card. In the worst case it's 3 mana for 4 health, but most of the times this shield will deny way more damage.
It's also interesting that Warrior get's again a legendary weapon.
New Warrior Minion - Kargath Bladefist
4 mana 4/4 rush is already good, and Kargath Prime is just incredibly strong.
I don't think that Kargath's effect will trigger three times with Sweeping Strikes, since Kargath only attacks one of the three minions directly.
New Warlock Spell - The Dark Portal
Great addition to Handlock. Could also be used as tutor in a spell-heavy deck, e.g., to find Malygos.
New Warlock Spell - Shadow Council
This is just a meme card. Random demons are bad on average, and the +2/+2 doesn't compensate for the randomness.
At least, we can't open more than two copies of this card due to duplicate protection.
New Shaman Minion - Bogstrok Clacker
Due to the 3 mana cost, this card is way weaker than Evolve. Probably not broken enough for constructed, but a good arena card.
New Shaman Spell - Torrent
A Flame Lance, but with an upside. This card might fit into Control Shaman, but this archetype would need more support to make a comeback.
New Shaman Weapon - Boggspine Knuckles
Well, evolve is back...
Hope you didn't dust your Desert Hare.
New Shaman Minion - Lady Vashj
This card might fit into some kind of Aggro Burn Shaman. Vashj Prime can be used as a finisher to find the missing burn spells.

New Rogue Minion - Blackjack Stunner
Sap already allows for some strong tempo swings, but this effect is way stronger. Also comparable Freezing Trap, but you can choose which minion is returned to your opponents hand.
