Because all warlock card should have a negative effect this days, this card is absolutely useless. There is no archetype that would love this, control warlock do not have board and agro warlock probably does not need this also.
To anyone saying about Rafaam scheme is viable with this I wish best of luck. I have a deck with it and this card is abysmall, literally abysmall. It is overpriced and does almost nothing. So as a good removal I think it is terrible. Worse than Shriek for sure
Anyone who tries to compare this with Equality and Concec. I wanna remind you that this cards got some value on their own. Plague of Flames is literally unplayable. When you dont have a board and board generation and mage like uses Khadgar and makes 5-6 card board, you would need 6-7 minons generating spells.
Only question I have -why Warlock got this thing and why does it cost 1? Much more would prefer the removal having different downside but for 5 mana.
Even rogue got better plague. Warlock cards having to have the downside cost for powerful effect now does worse than any class having similar cards with no downside.
I recall the designers mentioning that new Lackeys would be introduced in the sets following RoS, but so far we haven't seen any. The five lackeys we have are each themed after one of the five ringleaders of the EVIL gang (Witchy = Hagatha, Goblin = Dr. Boom, Kobold = Togwaggle, Faceless = Lazul, Ethereal = Rafaam), which raises the question whether we'll see a full cycle of new lackeys, or only one (or two, or...), not to mention what sort of flavour this new lackey will have.
Personally I think we'll probably see only one new lackey, and it's likely going to be some denizen of Uldum that has sided with EVIL. Mummy Lackey maybe? Regarding the card's battlecry, I think the most obvious is "give a minion reborn".
Seems like it's gonna be an insane card, though I guess it should come with a "buyer beware" warning as it may well have disastrous negative effects, looking forward to trying out.
Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is my favourite card. You don't need to play a really high amount of spells tu use it, it can be triggered by spell-casting cards and you can suicide by activating it, so that's the best card so far ♥
Armagedillo I beleive that taunt warrior will be one of the best and fun to play control decks in the upcoming expantion thanks to this card and to Frightened Flunky that have a high chance of discovering another Armagedillo cool animal and sweet animation Armagedillo
I really like Anka, the Buried, since I'm a big fan of Rogue. Hopefully it'll bring some new cool interactions, combos and decks. Really looking forward this new expansion :)
For me, the most interesting card is the Warrior Quest Hack the System. I'm a warrior player anyway so I'm going to craft it day 1 even if it only ends up being a fun card and not competitive.
I don't really like it. Can't quite put my finger on it, but the card seems rather clunky and awkward to use, and I can easily imagine situations where one half of the card text or the other is going to be a nuisance.
Now sure, it can be argued that that's a design feature, just like with UI, but this is nowhere near as powerful so I don't think it was warranted. I would've preferred this as a slightly cheaper choose one spell.
Yeh - it's not great, but the free taunt guy helps a lot, IMO.
If you're playing the quest (which I think is probably the only non-token direction to go), and you're playing off curve until turn 6, you're probably going to need something like this (plus the taunt guy) to try and stabilize.
My favorite card has to be mogu cultist although it may or may not be the most powerful card in the expansion it's arguably most difficult to make it work but I think payoff is worth it if not for the effect then certainly for the animation I joined hearthstone only after rotation so haven't played against or with many combo decks excited to try
My favourite card is [Hearthstone Card (Tip the Scales) Not Found] because my first deck was Paladin Murlocs, and I have wonderfull memories from this archetype. Maybe this card can reborn the deck.. MrgllMrrrglllMrrrgglllll
I also like the "visual upgrade" Secretkeeper got. Apprentice is ok I guess, also not a minion I would like to sacrifice on turn 2, I was also thinking of Mana Addict or Novice Engineer and even Mana Wyrm might be ok as well.

I like the new "plague of flames" it reminds me of defile. its simple design but can potentially can be very powerful.

Definitely Mogu Cultist. It seems like the definition of exodia and the whole idea of summoning Ra to just win the game is wild.
Uldum Warrior Card Reveal - Livewire Lance
Good Weapon for the new Quest, I'm excited to try a more midrange warrior build

Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - Plague of Flames
"Overpriced" 1 mana board clear? LOL
Saviors of Uldum - 5 Pack Bundles Giveaway
Dinotamer Brann, Highlander Hunter could be really fun
New Druid Spell - Overflow
I like it, probably only 1x at best though. Seems pretty likely you'd be able to drop one if not two of the new 3/5 taunts too.

Dinotamer Brann
Because...dinosaurs. Plus summoning Brann with Brann in Wild will be, um, wild.

Probably Hack the System, because I'd love to play a good Tempo/Midrange Warrior.

Absolutely Wild Bloodstinger, the Dirty Rat + Duel! combo card is awesome

Anka, the Buried
Deathrattle rogue is extremely more diverse than the tempo one and this might bring the decktype on top

Secret OTK Hunter
This looks super awesome! The tough part will be to get to a spot where you can cast the double Hunting Party without dying.

I love puzzle decks and surprising my opponents! On top of that I think the artwork is amazing! Go mogu cultist
New Neutral Minion - Colossus of the Moon
I am curious if this card a hint that Sea Giant is going into the HoF.
I whould like this change, when Sea Giant whould get a small buff too by getting the elemental tag.
Or maybe Sea Giants mana cost will just be higher :/ ...
