Tech card against freeze mage, lol. To see constructed play there must be tons of people playing mage, which is not very likely. At least it has good stats for arena.
The reward is insane, but this can be hard to achieve in standard (one firefly basically takes care of it). Overall not enough incentive to play elemental mage. It can work with cyclone mage, but setting it up may be too troublesome.
Should be auto-included in dragon mage which seems to move towards a control archetype. The activation requirement is much easier to fulfill than Solia.
All the spells this card discovers are busted! A must include in dragon mage. Personally I still like to see this being a 4/12 at 9 mana, which does not hurt it too much given how powerful the spells are.
Dangerously good, but may make aggressive hunter decks too strong to fight against in the early game, and these type of decks receive a lot of complaints.
Fits well in aggressive hunter decks which the dragon hunter deck is likely to be. Without activation, 2 mana for 3 damage on minion is not great but not horrible either, so should make this card see play.
This card is getting nerfed for sure. It is just ridiculous. Brace yourselves : you are going to get smashed by this both in wild and standard. Everyone is looking at legendaries right now, but this is the real sleeper of the set. How is this, at least, not an epic, is just baffling. Not only do you "evolve" any token but also give it rush? Damn.
Now that control warrior is practically dead, it's nice to see another "you have to think about your board positioning" card as supercollider was. Nice additionnal tool to reno and big spell mage. I really fancy this one.

New Mage Minion - Azure Explorer
One of the cutest card this set, but on the weak side for all 4 explorer cards due to poor stats.
Tasty Flyfish
If you think about this, it is literally being portrayed as a meal for dragons in art, name and the effect. PG rating just went up a level ahahah!
New Mage Spell - Elemental Allies
The reward is insane, but this can be hard to achieve in standard (one firefly basically takes care of it). Overall not enough incentive to play elemental mage. It can work with cyclone mage, but setting it up may be too troublesome.
New Mage Spell - Arcane Breath
Really good value at a low cost, should be a good addition to cyclone mage.
New Mage Minion - Dragoncaster
Should be auto-included in dragon mage which seems to move towards a control archetype. The activation requirement is much easier to fulfill than Solia.
New Mage Spell - Rolling Fireball
Interesting concept and it tests your judgement on which minion to target to get the best value,
New Mage Minion - Mana Giant
Fits into cyclone mage very well, but still on the slow side, as you really don't want a card like this in your hands for many turns.
New Mage Minion - Malygos, Aspect of Magic
All the spells this card discovers are busted! A must include in dragon mage. Personally I still like to see this being a 4/12 at 9 mana, which does not hurt it too much given how powerful the spells are.
Goboglide Tech
Solid inclusion for mech aggro decks, at least until Boomsday rotates out of standard.
New Hunter Minion - Dwarven Sharpshooter
Dangerously good, but may make aggressive hunter decks too strong to fight against in the early game, and these type of decks receive a lot of complaints.
New Neutral Minion - Troll Batrider
However, random is an upside against a stealthed Spirit of the Frog...
New Hunter Spell - Corrosive Breath
Fits well in aggressive hunter decks which the dragon hunter deck is likely to be. Without activation, 2 mana for 3 damage on minion is not great but not horrible either, so should make this card see play.
New Neutral Minion - Troll Batrider
That won't see any constructed play ever besides in arena. The stats are horrendous, and you'll be pretty sad when this target a lackey.
New Hunter Minion - Primordial Explorer
Insanely good in arena for sure. Good card to put in constructed dragon hunter decks because of low cost, poisonous, and discover.
Fire Hawk
With bigger health this could be serious card, at 3 it's too easy to remove. And besides of stats this card does nothing. Not worthy to play.
New Neutral Minion - Faceless Corruptor
This card is getting nerfed for sure. It is just ridiculous. Brace yourselves : you are going to get smashed by this both in wild and standard. Everyone is looking at legendaries right now, but this is the real sleeper of the set. How is this, at least, not an epic, is just baffling. Not only do you "evolve" any token but also give it rush? Damn.
New Priest Spell - Grave Rune
Not as scary as it seems in Wild.
You still have to summon and resurrect minions first, a process that can't start before turn-6.
At that point, an Aggro/Burn deck will have already killed you, or is about to, with some Devolve or Spellbreaker (barred RNGesus shenanigans ofc).
This card can only fit games against Midrange or Control, where BP is already favored.
In Standard tho, that's another story...
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
Both choices are solid, yet not strong enough to be a regular for quest druid.
Scalerider
Better Fire Plume Phoenix or more accurately SI:7 Agent for dragon decks. Great tempo card, budget dragon decks are shaping really well.
New Mage Spell - Rolling Fireball
Now that control warrior is practically dead, it's nice to see another "you have to think about your board positioning" card as supercollider was. Nice additionnal tool to reno and big spell mage. I really fancy this one.
Wing Commander
I see this card only in budget dragon decks with every possible dragon in the deck.
New Priest Minion - Disciple of Galakrond
If firefly saw play, this definitely will: we might see it even in non Galakrond decks as a cheap early game to contest aggro strategies.
[Day 1] DoD - Quest to Unleash the Tempest
This deck is terrible
New Neutral Minion - Living Dragonbreath
This card should have been "Hearth Elemental", an epic in the Classic set.
