This thing is bad statted, but it has the perk of shining against Reborn/Token, which is likely to be a thing in the incoming meta (sticky minions are always powerful).
Put it in a Beast Hunter, and what you get is a solid anti-meta card in an already solid archetype.
I absolutely love Splitting Axe for its design. Blizzard "tried" to make totems work, but cards they made before were just bad. I hope new legendary card will synergise with totems to make decks with Splitting Axe better.
180 gold and 41000 dust. I've had a complete collection for a while and I've just been saving Dust. I've bought both Pre Orders and have enough for another 120 Packs on top, so I should be good. The problem is that I should have gone F2P when I started playing Pre Naxx. But I didn't.
Now im the proverbial Whale. And that kinda sucks.
But I'm in waaaay too deep now, so I just close my eyes every Expansion, hit that Blizzard Balance Button and just get on with it.
I still suck at the game by the way.
Well if you don't want to spend anymore you can, with that amount of dust, absolutely become f2p, without missing out to much on fun things to try. Even starting to buy a pre-order one expansion and the next one not getting an expansion could ease you in.
It's easy to have around 7/8k gold saved up between expansions, that should be enough to get most commons etc. Than afterwards craft what you would like.
On the other hand if you don't mind spending the money, don't feel guilty and enjoy thr game as well :-)
My favorite card so far is Hidden Oasis. I believe it's not just a very good card, but it'll also have a really nice nostalgic effect!
I've always loved playing with slower controlish decks that usually fall behind, specially when matched against aggressive decks. Since these decks are usually dependent of removals and armor gain/heals to survive, i've always enjoyed the adrenaline of constantly having to manage my limited resources wisely: Should i wait and try to get more value out of this removal or i can lose due some burst of damage next turn? Should i heal myself, play a taunt or try to destroy the opponent's minions? What actions can maximize my chances of survival?
It was always cathartic to use Antique Healbot and barely get out of lethal range or to use Reno Jackson and finally be able to relax and enjoy being out of danger.
In the next expansion we will get Untapped Potential and since quests always starts in hand, it's possible to always arrive at 6 mana with the quest completed! With Untapped Potential completed, Hidden Oasis's effect will always be "Summon 6/6 taunt AND restore 12 health.", which it'll not only heal me out of lethal most of the time, but it'll also put a taunt between me and threats, which improves even more my survivability!
I think this will only be worth playing if you can get a lot of value from the best tokens.
Exactly, the tokens might have enough value for this to be good, pirahana launcher had a niche sometimes this is so much better but all the comments thrash it
I like this card because it's a cheap minion that affects your late game. Planning ahead this makes the mulligan more tactical. "Mmh, I have one of those and this big card, should I keep it to get another copy of it or should I mulligan for anything else?"

How much gold/dust will you have for next expansion?

Livewire Lance
This will be great. Huge value if you increase the durability and swing away.

New Warlock Minion - Dark Pharaoh Tekahn
Wonder if there will be a new card to generate additional lackeys, or if they think we have enough.
Dark Pharaoh Tekahn
I like it but i would also like some more lackey generation!
Pie
Looks delicious.
The Magic of Dalaran
Another of my favourites. Just love the rich dark colours.
Sparkles
One of my favourite i think. Sparkly!
Lemonade
Refreshing.
Awesome Blossom
Awesome design.
Shado-Pan
I really like this one.
Stolen Thunder
Card back of the best Shaman hero.
Eyes of C'Thun
This is still one of the best card backs i think.
Secret Level
Cool how the health orb fills up in the center.
Random
In i way i wish that we could literally play with the random card back.
Mark of Hakkar
One of the coolest card backs they have done i think.

Anka the buried has to be my favorite so far because of the value and the synergy it has between 1 cost minions
