Paladin has access to 11 Reborn cards, 8 of which could be playable. If you put 2 copies of every playable Reborn card in your deck, more than half of your deck could have Reborn. Given that quest Warrior runs far fewer than 16 Taunts and can consistently complete the quest (which requires 7 Taunt minions, whereas this only requires 5 Reborn ones) I think that this quest could be reliably completed. Now there's just the question of whether the cost of running a lot of Reborn minions is worth the reward
Super good card that rounds out some of the inconsistencies of a secret mage in standard right now. Cheap spell that thins the deck and gives a free mana while retaining the discount.
Excellent curve into Masked Contender. Excellent synergy with the new card that aoes 2 damage when you secret.
Freeze mage might run this with ice barrier/flame ward package now.
This weakens the magic trick pool a bit for cyclone mage unless they start running a secret package of their own, maybe just flame ward.
Yeah they kept some good stuff for the end... That highlander genie is insane and works in any style highlander deck, because he is just generally good
So, you can pick one of two spells from your own class (because there aren't any neutral spells and Discovery normally gets you a class card or a neutral card) or you can pick a third mystery option that could be from any class at all. Sort of a compromise between standard Discovery and Burglary. An actual Burglary deck might like this, as it gives you some agency over what you most need at the current instant - a class card or a non-class card.
Why is Blizzard changing the wording of these cards to Change instead of Set? Anka the Buried also says "Change" instead of set, which is weird since Jepetto Joybuzz from the previous expansion uses Set when he has the same kind of effect. I know Blizzard likes to be as inconsistent as possible, I just find this strange
I'm not sure about this card. It has 1 more attack than the Grime Street Smuggler, but I'm not sure if Grime Street Smuggler would have seen play even if it had 3/4 stats. Also, I don't know if this is more or less powerful than "Battlecry: Give a minion in your hand +1/+1", since this effect is even more delayed.
3-mana 3/4 with "must remove immediately" as an effect is super strong. Don't think so? Play against a Bomb Warrior who drops a lone Elekk on 3 and you're panicking because you don't have a board or removal.

I like it.
New Neutral Minion - Spitting Camel
Lol, loves the flavor
New Neutral Minion - Pit Crocolisk
I doubt it, you can't control the battlecry when you play Shudderwock.
New Neutral Minion - Mischief Maker
very funny one but i fear it won´t see much play. Vanilla 3/3 is just too weak.
A Smashing Game of Chess
Nice one!!! Took me 2 tries but great additions!!!

Just noticed it. Thanks!
New Hunter Minion - Hyena Alpha
works like Emerald Spellstone in secret hunter deck will obviously be OP
Saviors of Uldum
Damn, there is no neutral healing except Khartut Defender. I guess I have to rely on old cards, in order to build a standard control warlock deck.

New Neutral Minion - Body Wrapper
Woah, with mediocre stat body and worthy discovery effect. This card looks perfect
Edit: even there is 2 mana guy that shuffles it, I think it still looks neat.
New Shaman Spell - Totemic Surge
Hello Even Shaman !
New Rogue Spell - Clever Disguise
yes if we get lucky
New Neutral Minion - Serpent Egg
Nice to have an egg around again. It's no devilsaur / nerubian but it's pretty solid.
This might be the kind of early game card rogue needs to make a package with the deathrattle dagger work.
Maybe the newer warlock decks use this over/in addition to the scarab egg because that deck seems a lot less interested in going wide.

New Neutral Minion - Pit Crocolisk
Wow! This is busted in Arena and might be good enough even for Constructed. Could this work in Shudderwock Shaman?

Totally agree... hoped for at least 1 or 2 dragons... kinda disappointing
New Paladin Spell - Making Mummies
Well after seeing the rest of the set I think it's safe to say this card is DOA
New Neutral Minion - Living Monument
I can't believe they would do this when Conjurer's Calling exists... do they want Mage to be impossible to beat?

extreme. This one might even be meta defining ... at least for hunter

3-mana 3/4 with "must remove immediately" as an effect is super strong. Don't think so? Play against a Bomb Warrior who drops a lone Elekk on 3 and you're panicking because you don't have a board or removal.
