Almost Arcane Intellect at a baseline (as it counts your damaged face), could easily be 1 or 2 mana when you do actually play it, fantastic card for Warrior in general.
While I see your point. I like them pushing multiple directions in a class. Better than pushing one archetype that falls short. I agree there is no real pay-off nor enough fire spells to make anything an actual "fire" warrior. Still pushing that line and making spell school matters cards for the warrior is important. Just look at this more of a small step. Most of the fire cards lean toward improving a already good deck in Enrage Warrior so they have a home. For a more dedicated "fire" spell deck we may have to wait a bit longer for the spell school to build up cards (and a better payoff).
Also I see Last Stand kind of like a Suffocating Shadows. It's something they'll push in the future (taunt warrior) and are just placing a basic spell here to free up a future card slot. The shadow spell kinda went with Darkvein but the discard aspect was off an expansion.
I do love all of what warrior got, incomplete as it may be. Asvedon, the Grandshield is a real fun card and has a badass name. Win win! Love spell reflect in WoW, was hilarious killing a mage with their fireball back in the day.
At first my mind parsed it as needing 2 spells and not it being limited to rezzing 2 times. Confusion aside, looks to be a decent minion in the Burning Enrage Warrior, although hardly the star of said deck.
Needs a wide board of Undead to well wither enough for it to be worthwhile, and isn't always be a full board buff either. Though undoubtedly funny whenever your opponent's taunts ends up giving you lethal outs.
2 of in every Unholy deck! The only reason why I'm not thinking it's 5 stars is that procing it on curve isn't the most consistent, but beyond that and considering the sheer density of Undead minions in DK, it's glowing yellow most of the game.
Would be a lot better if we still had Illidari studies, but as is not a whole lot of decks hard run Outcast cards, and Outcast DH is looking a little slim on the lethality side.
New Warrior Spell - Blazing Power
So at just a damaged face and a damaged Minion, this is an Rampage?
New Warrior Minion - Sunfury Champion
Bit harder to use than Risky Skipper, but should work just fine in Burning Enrage Warrior.
New Warrior Spell - Light of the Phoenix
Almost Arcane Intellect at a baseline (as it counts your damaged face), could easily be 1 or 2 mana when you do actually play it, fantastic card for Warrior in general.
New Warrior Spell - Last Stand
That's a lot of mana for a draw 1 card. And if it ever gets relevant, you know it's going to get dunked on/silenced.
New Warrior Spell - Sunfire Smithing
Minions in spells is passe, now it's Weapons in spells!

Good luck pack opening tomorrow all!
New Warrior Minion - Thori'belore

New Neutral Minion - Bone Flinger
2 ping on a (2) 2/3 is rather nice, expect to see this a lot.
New Hunter Minion - Keeneye Spotter
Feels a bit hopeful to get more than 1 or 2 procs off of one of these, but maybe subtly pushes Candleshot back into relevance.
New Mage Minion - Energy Shaper
Behold! The Hand of Lunacy!
New Mage Minion - Prismatic Elemental
(shouting into the distance) Hey who put this Thief Rogue minion in Mage?
New Death Knight Minion - Acolyte of Death
Kinda puzzled why it's Frost and not Unholy. Spider Tank stats helps, but I'm not entirely sure if DK wants a Cult Master type minion.
New Druid Spell - Wither
Needs a wide board of Undead to well wither enough for it to be worthwhile, and isn't always be a full board buff either. Though undoubtedly funny whenever your opponent's taunts ends up giving you lethal outs.
New Death Knight Minion - Necrotic Mortician
2 of in every Unholy deck! The only reason why I'm not thinking it's 5 stars is that procing it on curve isn't the most consistent, but beyond that and considering the sheer density of Undead minions in DK, it's glowing yellow most of the game.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Felerin, the Forgotten
Decent bit of value, though getting Eyebeams kinda sucks because they'll still cost 1 regardless.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Wretched Exile
This will be fine...
Like this time next year when there's a bigger pool of cheap Outcasts.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Walloper
Would be a lot better if we still had Illidari studies, but as is not a whole lot of decks hard run Outcast cards, and Outcast DH is looking a little slim on the lethality side.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Deal with a Devil
Pretty alright for Spell DH, helps them stabilize, and off of Jace threaten to finish the job after you've dunked somebody for 20
New Neutral Minion - Brittleskin Zombie
Filler version of Shadowed Spirit, and that card barely saw play
New Demon Hunter Minion - Fierce Outsider
Seems quite solid, specially for more aggressive decks. Should see some play!
New Demon Hunter Spell - Mark of Scorn
Very strong card, draw and high chance (maybe even guaranteed) of dealing damage.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel'dorei Warband
Seems like a good card, even without the effect. Shame it's not a Fel spell, though!
New Demon Hunter Spell - Unleash Fel
Very strong card, when you add Spell Power into the mix!
New Demon Hunter Spell - Deal with a Devil
Looking really strong, can't wait to play around with it and the scythe!
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Walloper
Doesn't seem too bad, but not sure if enough Outcast cards will be played to warrrant cheating it out.
