They abandonned the random deck fillers! This is so awesome! Even if those cards aren‘t meta, they invite to think and will be great when randomly generated. Not to mention the arena quality

Holy Nova also heals your own stuff, and it does not need another card. I think this will revive the old tempo mage with secrets bare handed. It is great tempo play,  a must remove card when played on curve, when saved for later turns when you have the secrets in hand its just removal + body = big tempo.

Against aggro/tokens, you just wait until turn 4/5 then play Arcane Flakmage + Kirin Tor Mage + free Splitting Image and they can concede :)

Heal Priest, Heal Dudu, Arena, but no one thought of Auchenai-Heal Priest (where you use the healing to kill the opponent). The last interaction might be admittedly weak or hard to pull off, but it's still something worth noting.

Vulture seems decent but there aren't too many self-damaging effects as of now, meaning that thing actually has to stick on the board for a turn to really go off and I don't think that's worth

Just Flame Imp isn't enough to justify running this in Zoolock.

Ritualist seems like an Arena card most of the time, but maybe there's some applications in Priesst (although Priest decks that run self-damaging minions usually also want to ressurect them, which this doesn't really work with)

5/4 Zilliax...

Why? Why are Blizzard pushing an archetype that was questionable at its best and downright shit at its worst? It took two Legendary cards to make Taunt Warrior playable, both of them (Fire Plume's Heart and Baku the Mooneater) are now out of Standard. So what are Team 5 going to do? Release two more broken Legendary cards to make this Archetype viable?

 Stop it. Taunt Warrior is shit. Stop it.

Yes, you can see this in the videos of the expansion announcement and in the embedded video here: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/expansions-adventures/saviors-of-uldum/

I feel like i'd rather use Spirit of the Bat than wait to turn 9 to maybe get +3+3

Didn't even think about Coffin Crusher. Although you couldn't run very many other deathrattles in that kind of deck since you are basically required to pull it from the Crasher or else it's a dead card

Glad I wasn't the only one unsure about this. Thanks for clarifying

Last I checked the aim of the game is to reduce face to 0. Playing taunts denies majority of decks from doing just that.

Playing buffed taunts? Unless they've got mass removal of giant minions, they're gonna have a bad time.

Coudl be cool with Anka but I don't think you can include a 9-mana card that is useless unless combined with a single legendary. Although the idea of getting +9/+9 on your Zilliax sounds spicy as fuck

This card is crazy. Can be used in aggro/tempo decks (say zoo) as a decent body with bonus effect, can be used any time in the game to heal up that big boy(s)  the opponent desperately tries to remove, can be used with those battle cry minions that injure themselves etc.for only 2 mana. Very high value card.

This card was needed in Gadgetzan to make more Goons not good, but at least playable than only Paladin.

Absolutely.

Bolster?!

Child of Stolen Goods and Bolster (and better than those 2 combined), still booooooring.

The default play is companion first, but there are some exceptions

[great advice snipped]

Thanks!

That's really useful.

It looks like Taunt Warrior is going to be strong, but Handbuff Paladin had good cards and was never a thing... We will see.

Now only to wait for more taunt minions? Preferably not legendary ones?
