If nothing else, this card will eat the polymorphs and hexes, otherwise it could be really annoying to deal with. Quite cheap also, I see some potential in it.
If it works like Curious Glimmerroot (meaning you get 1 card from opponents hand and 2 random nonsense cards ) you will copy a card pretty much everytime. Problem is, even with Galakrond, what is your win condition as a Control Priest? Fatigue? Inner fire?
I mean, unless the tentacles do something its pretty weak. since its end of turn you have to take opponent's board your board and what they might have into account. On average I think you'll get around 6-4 tentacles depending on what you have already. It might fit into the hunter quest though since it combos with the roar and summons some to fulfill the quest. I feel like this card will get a rework of some kind later in the Expac
I mean, it is better than Assassinate, but no-one plays Assassinate. However the synergy with Galakrond and especially the invoke dragon could make it playable
Jade Behemoth of Dragon Druid decks if there will be one. But there is no reason to not have one while Druid has Wild Growth back with Breath of Dreams (it even draws a card ! ).
I think it's a little better than Glimmerroot, so the power level is enough high to see play. The problem is there's no current Priest archetype that want to play it. Hope to see Control Priest or Dragon Priest reborn from ashes.
I want to believe Shu'ma is good in token warlock. it sounds fishy, but so far what we have seen, most of the cards supports tempo style plays as warlock this years expansions.
Warlock hasn't shined once in this years meta. I hope that the rest of the warlock cards connects with the cards we got this year really well this time.
Rafaam will get his glory as a warlock he is. He even sacrificed(Betrayed) Dark Pharaoh Tekahn for his own achievement. I'm pretty sure Rafaam will give us good warlock cards, cause RAFAAM, IS, the SUPREME ARCHEOLOGIST, after, all!
It´s not that I hate it or anything, but it seems very boring and I don´t think it´s gonna make the cut. 1/2 divine shield buff isn´t even that great or is it? And you even need to hold a dragon
When Steamwheedle Sniper was printed, Hunter was the face-is-always-the-place class so it never saw any play. But now we've some decent control / secret / Reno archetypes around that could like to have the chance to get more board control for just 1 extra mana (with also a more that good body attached to it).
Ironically enough, the fact that this comes in a dragon centric expansion might make it even more weak, since the total pool will include a lot more small/situational minions. That coupled with it being so slow probably will mean it won’t see much play
New Rogue Minion - Umbral Skulker
Gurl, Miracle Valeera got an early christmas present. I´ll be disappointed if this card doesn´t show up in decks!
New Neutral Minion - Shu'ma
Possibly good in token decks, but I'm not sure .. Looks a bit annoying btw, I hope I'm wrong about this.
Envoy of Lazul
I really like this one and these kinds of cards, it's like a mix between Curious Glimmerroot and Madame Lazul!
New Rogue Minion - Waxadred
If nothing else, this card will eat the polymorphs and hexes, otherwise it could be really annoying to deal with. Quite cheap also, I see some potential in it.
New Priest Minion - Envoy of Lazul

New Paladin Spell - Sand Breath
A nice little tempo card for Dragon Paly, seems solid to me.
Deathwing, Mad Aspect
I really like the design of the card, but I don't think it's enough to make the cut in current warrior decks.
New Neutral Minion - Shu'ma
I mean, unless the tentacles do something its pretty weak. since its end of turn you have to take opponent's board your board and what they might have into account.

New Paladin Minion - Dragonrider Talritha
3mana 3/3 body, Even if IT forces your oppenont to use. /waste. Silence, it’s a win (typing on a new phone isn’t
New Paladin Minion - Nozdormu the Timeless
Interested to see how Dragon Paladin will run this one or maybe some Mojomaster Zihi shenanigans.
New Priest Spell - Time Rip
I mean, it is better than Assassinate, but no-one plays Assassinate. However the synergy with Galakrond and especially the invoke dragon could make it playable
New Druid Minion - Emerald Explorer
Jade Behemoth of Dragon Druid decks if there will be one. But there is no reason to not have one while Druid has Wild Growth back with Breath of Dreams (it even draws a card ! ).
Ysera, Unleashed
The big payoff for ramping in dragon druid. I think it will definitely see play.
New Priest Minion - Envoy of Lazul
I think it's a little better than Glimmerroot, so the power level is enough high to see play.
The problem is there's no current Priest archetype that want to play it.
Hope to see Control Priest or Dragon Priest reborn from ashes.
New Priest Minion - Fate Weaver
Oh my god, this card is going to be something! Combo potential, and you can have two of them, so possibly better than Thaurissan. Great card!
New Druid Minion - Emerald Explorer
Tons of value, a big body, as well as helping out to activate the ramp card. Definitely killer in arena, probably pretty strong in constructed too
Envoy of Lazul
Not a bad 2 drop. Have to see what deck it goes into.
New Neutral Minion - Shu'ma
Expect this card on Trolden
Three New Cards Revealed - Shu'ma, Dragonrider Talritha, Envoy of Lazul
I want to believe Shu'ma is good in token warlock. it sounds fishy, but so far what we have seen, most of the cards supports tempo style plays as warlock this years expansions.
Warlock hasn't shined once in this years meta. I hope that the rest of the warlock cards connects with the cards we got this year really well this time.
Rafaam will get his glory as a warlock he is.
He even sacrificed(Betrayed) Dark Pharaoh Tekahn for his own achievement.
I'm pretty sure Rafaam will give us good warlock cards, cause RAFAAM, IS, the SUPREME ARCHEOLOGIST, after, all!
Sathrovarr
A pretty solid value card. Really good if the meta slows down.
New Paladin Spell - Sand Breath
It´s not that I hate it or anything, but it seems very boring and I don´t think it´s gonna make the cut. 1/2 divine shield buff isn´t even that great or is it? And you even need to hold a dragon
New Druid Spell - Breath of Dreams
This is the type of card that could end up carrying the archetype, or even leading to people adding in a few good dragons just to get the effect.
New Hunter Minion - Dwarven Sharpshooter
When Steamwheedle Sniper was printed, Hunter was the face-is-always-the-place class so it never saw any play. But now we've some decent control / secret / Reno archetypes around that could like to have the chance to get more board control for just 1 extra mana (with also a more that good body attached to it).
New Neutral Minion - Shu'ma
Maybe good in big shaman with muckmorpher
New Druid Minion - Ysera, Unleashed
