I was the guy who posted that picture containing artwork on discord server. Here is the full album on blizzardwatch if you guys are interested (spoiler: there are artworks for cards that are not revealed yet): https://blizzardwatch.com/gallery/blizzcon-2019-hearthstone-art-gallery
Seems very strong for Hunter since Hunter has such limited card draw. Being able to play this on curve and guarantee a draw on curve will be super valuable. Ursatron is a super strong mech for Hunter with a comparable effect on deathrattle. Since this card activates with a battlecry, it seems like it will be even stronger.
This card also has synergy with the new sidequest, Clear the Way, so it seems like it will be an auto-include in the upcoming rush/beast Hunter decks.
A 3-drop with Rush and 4 attack that can thin your deck by drawing another Rush minion? This has a lot of potential for basically any Hunter deck. I'd actually argue that this card is better than Town Crier as even if it's the last Rush minion in your deck, it can still effectively clear a minion for its cost. Town Crier is a very good card, but always a feelsbadman when you top deck it after drawing all your Rush minions.
Yes, I would play a Shadowbolt that draws a card in the class with the worst card draw. Potentially interesting combos with Dire Frenzy? Just a super strong card completely on its own aside from the beast synergy.
Draws itself, or best case scenario would be to draw Zilliax. Other than that this is just a 3 mana 4 damage removal card.
Fodder for Clear the Way sidequest but in standard right now there are better minions that does that job. Not to mention that one of hunters most versatile card being Springpaw means that its hard to make this card tutor specific but better rush cards.
It having only 1 health is the real draw back here. If it has at least 2, then it could still be justified to value trading into a lackey or into EVIL Miscreant, which is popular in most metas with rogue.
Well, this card seems awesome. Its a Town Crier that draws itself, works are decent removal in a class lacking removal, has a beast tag, and just seems great. The only reason this doesn't see play is if Dragon Hunter becomes the only deck and doesn't have room for this.
Meh. I'm surprised people think this card is good.
Why is this an effect that you want?
because it is a 2 mana 2/3 that adds a card to your hand.
Zola the Gorgon is a very good card, this is basically zola but for dragon decks only. My question is this; Why isn't this an effect you want?
Zola was good in Cavern-quest rogue and Combo Shudderwock. Unless you get a game-winning edge from specifically copying cards, or copying specific cards, the Zola Effect is just situational value.

Just a decent early game removal, but the aggression of dragon decks might not be high so the face damage wouldn't be as relevant. In wild, this struggles to compete with Quick Shot
Emperor Cobra with value—this will be a nice addition to highlander hunter as a form of early game board control. Although less now, it can discover itself and possible even the new Alextrasa. In arena this is amazing for both value and early control. In wild, although, it might just not be good enough.
Coining this out and hero powering on 3 following on turn 4 with Hyena Alpha can be a very strong early game board. In wild, this is a nice addition to some sort of even hunter deck along with the other hero power legendary.
It's definitely a good card agains any resurrection mechanics, so the question here is will we see many resurrection decks on ladder? It's a very situational tech card, which can only be played in a specific meta IMO. Zul'Drak Ritualist may be good agains aggro if there is a way to kill atleast 1 or better 2 of summoned 1 drops.
Dragon Breeder is basically a vanilla stated minion with "draw a card," which is obviously great. You want to be holding dragons in hand for dragon synergies, and this helps land that, and you prefer to get more copies of the dragons you included in your deck (as opposed to random ones) for pretty obvious reasons.
Agreed. The most understated boon of Dragon Breeder that I also immediately thought of was that it enables cards with the text: "If you're holding a Dragon," such as Smolderthorn Lancer and upcoming cards from Descent of Dragons. Additionally, it can be used to great effect by copying dragons in singleton decks, particularly Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. Dragon Breeder doesn't have to be an ultimate value generator though either and is pretty flexible in the sense that adding a copy of a dragon provides a good amount of value by itself.
Hunter Card Reveal - Diving Gryphon
Awesome, these could be very useful. Thanks!
New Hunter Minion - Diving Gryphon
3 mana deal 4 damage cantrip. Nice!
Diving Gryphon
Decent rush minion that tutors in a class that lacks card draw. This is so good is even makes me look at the clear the way side quest!

Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
I think HS timeline is simply unattuned with lore.
More like a stack of everything that happened in WoW and from where they choose cards.
Malygos was mad since WoTLK, and at that time neither Khadgar nor Kalecgos were in dalaran. Deathwing himself was still hybernated (but already mad).

It's definitely a good card agains any resurrection mechanics, so the question here is will we see many resurrection decks on ladder?

This is a great card, such value!
Grimm Face Hunter
I don't quite have the support cards for even Shaman and also a cheapo FTP casual so am super conservative with my crafts haha.
Like you said, wait and see. Especially with how op the new set seems!

Mage Legendary Reveal - Chenvaala
In HS, 3 mana minion with 2/5 stats usually not good enough to see play in game. Even if the effect is good ( e.g: Lifeweaver, Mindbreaker). But 4 mana minion with the same stat, (sometimes) makes a staple in some deck (Militia Commander, Bone Wraith, Tundra Rhino, Quartermaster, Corridor Creeper) ..
Custom Class - The Duelist
Oh yeah that's a good point, I think I have a quick fix:
Kronx Dragonhoof
The single best card in the expansion, amazingly game breaking.
Camouflaged Dirigible
This came a little too late. Most decks will be using dragon synergy.
