Faerie Dragons big brother seems great to me. The number of these minions with the Elusive text might drastically warp the meta and make targeted spell based removal very poor, leading more toward AoE and battlecry based effects. That could be a very interesting way for things to shake up, and it could make some minions that don't seem as playable right now more playable simply because board control and tempo become so important.
While I like the idea of a "no neutral" deck, I do kinda wish it was spread across more classes than just Paladin. Based on how strong a lot of the neutral cards are, I don't think this will be enough. I am happy to be proven wrong in this case though.
Really good value. Without overload means only one mana more expensive than feral spirit with a huge upside if you invoke. Shaman seems like its going to stay near the top.
same as the other one. This is not a realistic way to build your deck and the payoff isn't enough. Not to mention that a 4/2 on turn 4 isn't exactly resilient and won't net you much tempo
Now this is imo better than the epic card that gives 5 rando cards. I don't know if no neutral Paladin will work in this new expansion but hopefully in the future.
Cute, but tell me which Paladin deck could even afford to go without neutrals. Certainly not Highlander, and that'S the only deck I could imagine running this.
The value here is very dependent on the deck you're playing and playing against, so very meta dependent, but its a cool card that could be very fun. Again, its a Dragon related card that isn't a dragon so the number of these that fit into any dragon deck is small, and this probably isn't good enough to make the cut most of the time.
Could get out of hand in an aggressive/tempo dragon deck.
I don't think it will see too much play just because of the sheer amount of different dragon synergy cards out there, and this one seems to be on the weaker side. It has no immediate impact on the board, could be a case of a 'win more' card.

The cost to effect ratio here is great, its a dragon, IDK what is bad about this card. It is a slow, so its not going to be part of many aggro decks, but Azure Drake used to be one of the best cards in the game as just a 5 mana 4/4 draw a card, the spell damage wasn't even always important. Spell damage was generally great and this is more of a vanilla minion, but its got a great statline for a cantrip.

i don't understand this concept of not neutrals in deck... hope it's not a new blizzard class identity...

Remember Faerie Dragon?
This is him now
Feel old jet?

New Paladin Minion - Lightforged Crusader
Woah, what a flashy card with art and effect. I think this value is pretty bonkers!
Also, awesome card design!

why make a deck without neutrals???

Sweet artwork though.

New Shaman Spell - Invocation of Frost
can work as stall but imo is a good card for the invoke hability
Corrupt Elementalist
Easy upgrade to Galakrond and gets a very good amount of board potential.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Wyrm
This seems pretty good.
Galakrond, the Tempest
Oh sweet! This card seems nigh busted. thanks for the extra info
New Shaman Spell - Invocation of Frost
alright, they're memeing at this point.
It's a good activator though. Stalling an enemy for a turn while advancing your gameplan can't be bad

Surging Tempest
Certainly a peg down from Tunnel Trogg, but I think this will definitely see play as a strong early minion for Shaman.

New deck building strats!!! Love this card just for that, but the 5 rando pala cards might push this card into the unplayable section.
Bloodsail Flybooter
This with ships cannon is extremly strong in wild. O.O
Storm's Wrath
Seems REALLY good to me. Mark of the Lotus was great, Grim Rally sees consistent play, and overload isn't even necessarily a downside these days.
