Bold move, making an armour mana-cheat card in the same expansion as the Devourer and Earthen Scales combo.

The other two cards just seem bad in my opinion, but it depends on how good the Armour package will be, and if the new 4/6 taunt minion makes the cut

The yet to be unveiled zero mana 4/6 taunt has not shown up yet, bolstering my hopes that its possibly a typo.

Crypt Keeper is in the reveal video, so alas it does exist and is not a typo.

Edit: Now that the haze is off, I can see now that Beetlemancy is a choose one card. Thank fuck for that. Playable shit, but not OP as hell. I have to remove my rant here, so apologies for those who were unfortunate enough to have read it

The cards, well, they're good but the only interesting card here is Anub'Rekhan who can cheat the denathrius combo out of nowhere.

Anub'Rekhan wants more sources of armor gain than are out there, imo. That and Brann gives you a very dramatic mid-late board possibility . . . that you could probably have gotten with just Guff.

There's a remote possibility that Death Blossom Whomper into Sesselie of the Fae Court could get you a Anub'Rekhan into an extra-early wombo-combo turn.

I don't care about that.

This is not any faster or threatening than Big Priest or the even-more consistent Big Rogue Ghosts. Druid has better things to do than bother with this.

The efficacy of your Armor is very often in the hands of your opponent, which makes armor-cheating much too fair for most Druids to stomach. It reads as a bad idea, and I'm here for it, because Team 5 has made it painfully clear that they have two speeds, especially when it comes to favorites like Druid: boring or broken (sometimes still boring), and I'll take boring any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

So you know what? Thumbs up for what's hopefully unimpactful design.

Note that this doesn't apply to Wild, where I think you can shenannigans Anub into even more speed.

Beetlemancy is fine but I doubt Druid runs more than a one-of in an high-aggro environment. The armor is far more unfair than the 3/3s.

Chitinous Plating basically makes Beetlemancy redundant in its own set. Instead of paying 3 (!!) extra mana for flexibility and slightly higher numbers, you can weave Plating into slower, early turns and basically auto-win against any aggro that doesn't pop off with something insane. I'd play Plating into an Irondeep Trogg 95% of the time since only Druid and Shaman are likely to board-buff a large swarm.

Edit: I didn't see it in the database at first, but Chitinous Plating x2 into Crypt Keeper is 4 mana gain 8 x2 armor and a 4/6 taunt and each part of that works fairly okay seperately. With just one Plating, you'll get a 4 mana 4/6 taunt on your next turn or a 6 mana 4/6 taunt now.

I'm gonna do the Linecracker combo, somehow accrue an infinite amount of expensive minions in hand, then spend all my Armor before the rope gets me lol :D

Nope. The very first answer (Command the Elements) was the closest. Hint: this is a questline.

First throw the Pebbles.
Then throw the Pebbles.
Threw last Pebble? Ok!
Now you have a Rock.

Yay, more mana cheat for Druid, they don't have enough already Kappa

Excellent news! This makes me want to open more packs on day 1. 

Celaston's favorite class

Can I cast 17 more secrets with Perjury in the next week? Sorry, opponents, gonna try! 

I guess I had always assumed that the original expansion achievement guide got updated with mini set, but thinking back I now realize that was in error. I suppose also, if I had kept looking to the end of the guides buttons I would have seen the mini set one. Thanks for updating them though. Makes it easier to check each class all at once.

Something else, which only affects the very few out there like myself, is that the renown visitor is not showing up every day. I only have Rattlegore left to max out and all the other visitor quests I simply abandon.

There are so many more small things they could improve upon to make this game mode somewhat successful, but they keep dropping the ball, such a waste. 

Unparalleled power. Tremble before his might.

Prime Arena card I suppose. Wondering if Manathirst will just be a dead mechanic on arrival.

Funny flavor but not good enough for anything relevant.

Whacky and too unreliable, but hey, people really love to just randomly ruin their opponent's fun.

Very threatening persistent effect. 5-health is hard to kill and this can snowball in token decks in a way that a lot of class cards aren't able to.

Just a reminder, Shaman basically get this but as an Epic.

If you honestly think this is ever going gain more than a Foul Egg you're delusional....unless of course there's some crazy Phylactery combo that breaks it.

I don't like it.

Imagine giving Warlock a worse Ragnaros in 2022.

HOly shit, just print some whacky Discard support, at least that's fun.

Number of Rogue deathrattles is still stupidly low, but hey at least there's is a semblance of a real archetype now (one that isn't just Smokescreen degeneracy)

Honestly, this makes me really fucking angry that they insisted on bringing Radiant Elemental into Standard. This could have been balanced at a 2-mana vision, but because the glowy yellow fucker enables some dumb infinite combos they had to keep it at 3-mana which makes it basically worthless in any situation where you don't have Elemental on the board unless you're desperate for an answer.

Here's hoping they retire Radiant in the next Core set and buff this so it can actually see play.

Pretty sick for Aggro/Midrange Shadow Priest. Not sure if that deck has any chance of resurfacing but it certainly needed something good to start off with.
