good for aggro sham decks..nice and cheap for early annoyance..I hope aggro sham isn't going to become a thing in the new meta..would be annoyed to see so many aggro decks again..
decent stats for the minion and cost..overload is not a big deal but the spell damage is not really something sham is relying on..so this will probably not be played..
If you are playing a deck with enough dragons that this triggers more often than it doesn't, it is worth it to have this in your deck. A 6 mana 5/5 both players draw is kinda wonky, but when you are able to get another body on the board it is worth it. And even if you don't this isn't the worst effect in the world when played at the right time. You either play this when you are out of options and you just really need a taunt or rush dragon to survive, but most of the time you play this on a relatively small board so that even if you don't get a dragon it works out alright, but then if you do get a dragon it is amazing.
We got enough cheap dragons in this set that I could see someone playing a deck with 20 dragons in it, and it you are doing that, why wouldn't you want this?
Yeah this is going to be auto include x2. 1st off it's a 4/4 for 4, but if they have a dragon it's an 8/8 with Rush. Don't tell anyone, but my friend's, Father's, Sister's, Boy Friend's, Half-Brother's, Wife's, Kid... works at blizzard and mentioned Dragons might be making a showing in this Expac. The last Expac, in the Year of the Dragon.... Oh, and "Winter is coming!" Man where is that Coffee?
If you manage to control a dragon every time you want to attack, this card is great. However, I don't think that Dragon Hunter will be better than Midrange Hunter or Highlander Hunter.
yet again, another super weird I-have-no-idea-where-to-put-this epic. You only swap for the one turn, and hero powers are kind of known for being low-impact stuff. Maybe this card could have been used when cards like Frost Lich Jaina, Deathstalker Rexxar, or Bloodreaver Gul'dan were everywhere. Then you could set back your opponent by one hero power and you can get a small taste of the corrupt power without having to play a deathknight yourself.
But right now there just really isn't enough to warrant this cards inclusion in any deck. There are the quests, but they aren't prominent enough, and also they do require you to build your deck around getting the hero power in order to use it to its fullest potential.
Really, any of these cards that require you to be fighting a certain kind of opponent to get use out of them are just bad, and I don't mean tech cards. Cards like eat a murloc or eat a pirate are fine, but effects that just don't do much even when they do go off are barely even fun for johnny players. I really have no idea what blizzard thinks they are doing with the neutral epics this time around. One or two is fine, but literally every neutral epic in the set is a super janky but also completely pointless card, it is a little annoying.
Interesting effect, but this card seems not to fit either in an aggressive or a hypothetical control Hunter. I don't think that this card also won't find a place in highlander Hunter.
a lot of combo potential..disagree on it being slow considering a lot of priest decks are generally slow already..this will just add another winning condition.
New Warrior Spell - Ramming Speed
a 1 time supercollider without face tanking the damage..decent against big minions..against aggros its utterly useless.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Chimaera
Rexxar does not include beasts aside from when he was in standard and behind.
This is because of multi-language maintenance.
New Priest Spell - Whispers of EVIL
I’m skeptical.
New Warlock Spell - Rain of Fire
good for aoe..but not really that strong..probably won't be played considering a lot of other options with better effects..
New Shaman Minion - Surging Tempest
good for aggro sham decks..nice and cheap for early annoyance..I hope aggro sham isn't going to become a thing in the new meta..would be annoyed to see so many aggro decks again..
New Shaman Spell - Invocation of Frost
invoking while ccing a target..positive effects all around so this is easily included in galakrond decks..
New Shaman Minion - Squallhunter
decent stats for the minion and cost..overload is not a big deal but the spell damage is not really something sham is relying on..so this will probably not be played..
New Neutral Minion - Utgarde Grapplesniper

New Neutral Minion - Grizzled Wizard
I don't get why this is an epic, seems like a werid arena card at most.
New Neutral Minion - Dragonmaw Poacher
what kind of intoxication is this !?
New Shaman Spell - Storm's Wrath
murloc sham will love this..buff buff buff your opponent will get a big smack in the face before they realize anything..
New Shaman Minion - Corrupt Elementalist
a bit costly for 2 invoke and weak minion..but it saves you the trouble of finding multiple cards for invoking..we'll see how this plays out
New Shaman Spell - Dragon's Pack
insane value..juiced up wolves with no overcharge..in any gala deck the effect can be easily activated..
New Neutral Minion - Tasty Flyfish
Great flavor, but not a good card at all.
New Hunter Weapon - Stormhammer
If you manage to control a dragon every time you want to attack, this card is great. However, I don't think that Dragon Hunter will be better than Midrange Hunter or Highlander Hunter.
New Shaman Hero - Galakrond, the Tempest
free up-gradable minion with rush..better than some of the other galakronds..
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I can answer that with a bonus riddle:
No.
New Rogue Minion - Bloodsail Flybooter
useless card..who plays pirate rogues anymore..its probably designed for battleground or arena..
New Neutral Minion - Grizzled Wizard

New Neutral Minion - Fire Hawk
Can be draw with Crystology but besides that I don't see a place for this.
New Priest Spell - Whispers of EVIL
get a lakey for free at a cost of 1 card slot in the deck..don't see a big issue with the card being op but neither is it underwhelming.
New Hunter Minion - Dragonbane
Interesting effect, but this card seems not to fit either in an aggressive or a hypothetical control Hunter. I don't think that this card also won't find a place in highlander Hunter.
Goboglide Tech
I don't know. 3 mana 4/4 with rush is good but I don't think there would be a tier 1 mech deck, we need more support for this to work.
3/5
New Priest Minion - Disciple of Galakrond
nice and cheap cost for an invoke..other than fitting it in for invoking, don't see any other potential for this card..
New Priest Spell - Grave Rune
a lot of combo potential..disagree on it being slow considering a lot of priest decks are generally slow already..this will just add another winning condition.
