Just not good enough to see serious play. It has a solid body with a small upside, but +1 on manacost just doesn't cut it. Spellward Jeweler had the same stats, a better effect, and saw zero play. Even in wild against odd and even decks this is just not impactful. Since you can't stall the very early game, you can't even block Even Shaman or Odd Paladin (which isn't played anymore anyway) effective.
Saboteur was a higher mana cost penalty, but only next turn. This one (as written) is the next one in the game on any turn, which offsets the lower penalty.
Very good card that could work out well with the quest druid and the new druid legendary that buffs your treants. I really hope we will see a treant wild deck coming out of this combination.
Very good card. IT makes Surrender to Madness look even worse. I wonder if this card will be nerfed eventually, we will have to wait for the meta to settle I guess.
Seems like a solid card in treant decks. Even though it is a bit slow, the effect is great. Also synergises well with The Forest's Aid. I guess it will see more play in wild than in standard.
Seems like its impact will be best had when played on curve, but even then it likely won't be too effective. Spider tanks are also not that great, there are a whole bunch of them now with more powerful effects than this.
Seems ok in arena, but I doubt it will ever get played in constructed.
Well unless your opponent is rush warrior they will eventually hero power, the opportunity cost of this card is not too high, so it would probably ruin their curve.. The other exception is quest druid..
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Looks really bad, and does nothing against any passives as well.
New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin
Very interesting card for Gadgetzan decks to gain more draw. Looks promising for priest or mage with cheap spells.
Card Reveal - Blowtorch Saboteur
*Looks at Pre-Nerf Razakus-Priest and Paladin-DK* Finally is someone putting a stop to these Quest-Druids heropowering on turn 3!
New Neutral Minion - Wyrmrest Purifier
Interesting and fun card. Even though it seems designed for meme decks, it could counter the effect of Hakkar.

Blowtorch Saboteur
Only increasing the cost of the hero power 1 mana it's not good enough. I don't think any deck will run this card. It's OK for Arena
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Very weak card indeed. The effect is not that good, just increasing opponents hero power by 1 and the stats are just average.
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Pretty bad.
Seems like a strictly worse Saboteur unless I'm missing something.
Outside of Arena, I don't see myself ever playing this card. Battle cry is low impact on a minion with vanilla stats.
New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster
Warrior lackey decks haven't ever been competitive, and while this card is not bad I don't think it will see much play.
New Paladin Minion - Bronze Explorer
A solid 3 drop with lifesteal and a discover effect. This card is quite strong. I wouldn't say it is OP but definitely a staple i many paladin decks.
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
This can be teched against the new hunter legendary, this Ballista thingy.
But that aside, it seems not worth playing.
New Hunter Weapon - Stormhammer
Very good weapon for dragon hunters decks. The fact it is a hammer makes it's flavour to be less attractive (to me), but still is a strong card.
Card Reveal - Blowtorch Saboteur
Saboteur was a higher mana cost penalty, but only next turn. This one (as written) is the next one in the game on any turn, which offsets the lower penalty.
Of course, it's still not great I don't think
Card Reveal - Blowtorch Saboteur
Really bad, especially as an epic
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
Very good card that could work out well with the quest druid and the new druid legendary that buffs your treants. I really hope we will see a treant wild deck coming out of this combination.
Treenforcements
Diluting the Cobalt Spellkin pool. Wishing for Jade Idol, and getting this...
New Druid Spell - Embiggen
Very good card. IT makes Surrender to Madness look even worse. I wonder if this card will be nerfed eventually, we will have to wait for the meta to settle I guess.
New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin
Good addition for my Golden Quest Mage deck. This being Rare I might even craft it...
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
2/5 for the vanilla body, but actually unplayable in Constructed.
The effect lingers up to the next HP, even after several turns, but since it applies on a generally weak action, the impact is pretty low nonetheless.
Card Reveal - Blowtorch Saboteur
Imagine playing saboteur and then this..."well played!"
New Druid Minion - Goru the Mightree
Seems like a solid card in treant decks. Even though it is a bit slow, the effect is great. Also synergises well with The Forest's Aid. I guess it will see more play in wild than in standard.
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Not an awful card but definitely quite niche.
Seems like its impact will be best had when played on curve, but even then it likely won't be too effective. Spider tanks are also not that great, there are a whole bunch of them now with more powerful effects than this.
Seems ok in arena, but I doubt it will ever get played in constructed.
Blowtorch Saboteur
Purely Arena card.
New Neutral Minion - Blowtorch Saboteur
Well unless your opponent is rush warrior they will eventually hero power, the opportunity cost of this card is not too high, so it would probably ruin their curve.. The other exception is quest druid..
Also great vs quest shaman.
New Neutral Minion - Frizz Kindleroost
5/4 for 4 is not terrible and the effect is great value even with a couple of dragons in the deck.
Definitely going into my even dragon druid.
