Better than Onyxia, but still not very good, bad thing - board will come only at the end of your turn, you can t buff them. But can possibly playble as another board fill like 8 mana a lot of treants druid spell, yes, spell is better, but hardest thing vs this type of decks clear them, if you have a lot of board fills it s possible to win even with bad minions but with a lot of them. As i said, bad, but playble in specific deck
A little worse Glimmerroot. Curious Glimmerroot was better because he was showing a card which fit to enemy deck archetype and 2 which doesn't. Pretty easy guess. Envoy of Lazul can show you 3 cards from enemy deck archetype but actually only one could be in his hand, so it's guessing. Also choices can be misleading if enemy used some card generators before (like piniata). Still, even with bad quess u will know that enemy doesn't have this card in hand (and have 1 of other choices).
1 mana 1/3 is good and it gives the opponent an awkward followup-turn. good on 3 with heropower aswell. quite flexible due to the mana cost and it has additional synergy with the other heropower cards. looks like a strong and fun card to me
2 mana deal 3 to a minion is ok, but not insane. having to hold a dragon for the extra effect is not helping the boardstate in the earlygame and lategame you won't have a large hand as hunter. i say meh.
discovering a dragon is a lot better than just getting a random one via battlecry, the card does provide value, it is not a good tempo card though. i don't know which decks it would fit in yet but maybe just maybe there are some controlly hunter decks hidden in the set. good in arena though
looks like a really good 2-drop for hunter, even without the additional heropower support. drawing and playing a secret with your heropower looks like a solid play. probably good in face hunter with explosive traps
You normally do try to hand track anyway.. So you might as well know for sure what they have and get it.. Do the other 2 options are card in the enemy deck or random? Cause if random it's easier to guess..
VS galakrond priest you might fail a lot, vs Lackey decks you will probably get those lackeys since the random cards are probably collectible.
i just don't see this being good. you do not want to use your heropower early so it does nothing for the board. in the lategame it is just not powerful enough and with hunters generally having bad card draw this does not look appealing
Powerful effect, bit random though. really good if the enemy's board is empty to go SMOrc. Should be removed fast so could bait removal, but it's not a good card when you're behind against high health minions or a wide board. looks alright to me, but not broken
On top of what melon101 wrote, iirc Curious Glimmerroot was almost exclusively played as a 1-off in Reno Priest. If highlander Priest becomes a thing in DoD, this one might see play in a similar fashion - a cheap filler card.
Decent stats for a Taunt, additional value generating battlecry, good without conditions but really good with breath of dreams in a dragon deck. Another one of those druid cards that makes aggro players hope they don't have it in their hand.
Which of these 3 is in your Tempo Res Priest opponent's hand: Mind Control, Prophet Velen or Inner Fire? Assuming it works like Glimmerroot, it will give you 1 card from enemy deck, which is ALSO is in his hand, and 2 random priest cards. So I would say odds to guess right are actually even higher.
Yea, but if it shows you Inner Fire, Divine Spirit and [Hearthstone Card (Mass Ressurection) Not Found]? Maybe he has all of them in deck but only one i hand. But even if u don't guess u will know he doesn't have this card in hand so u won't need to play around.
Shu'ma might only see play in token-based decks. And even there, I don't see it as very strong. The fact that the tokens are generated at the end of the turn is just bad. You'd have to rely on your opponent not being able to deal with a couple of 1/1s. Maybe we'll see some new cards supporting this one (like effects on minion summon), but as of now, I'd even say this card is a Evolve nerf. 1/5
Talritha's value depends on how strong a theoretical Dragon Paladin archetype will be. If that'll become a thing, Talritha will be an auto include. 3-4/5
Envoy is strange. Its battlecry is far worse than Curious Glimmerroot. It really depends on what pool the shown cards are from. If it's the opponents deck, you'll at least get some info about what you're facing on top of the sub-par stat line. If it's all cards available to your opponent, this card's certain garbage. 2/5
Token druid would probably use this, it's hard to deal with if ahead and not that bad from behind, on that deck you need to deal with the tokens AND a 7 hp body for 7 mana it's like Onyxia but 2 mana cheaper, and repeatable.
New Neutral Minion - Shu'ma
Nasty card, but kept in check by its cost.
Probably comparable to The Forest's Aid. But Neutral (so some classes may suddenly abuse it).

New Paladin Minion - Dragonrider Talritha
4 stars because it's only good in dragon paladin and don't know if its good or not but a solid card in that deck

I give it 5 stars because of the potential in token druid and other zoo -board buff decks

New Paladin Minion - Dragonrider Talritha
Got as a hidden text "if you are holding a dragon" you need to run as many dragons as you can and not just 6 for synergies like dragon warrior did.
Maybe finally we will see dragon paladin be a thing

It's a 3 mana 3/3 with a good to super good upside, depending on how fast your opponent can silence the deathrattle or you run out of dragons.
