This card is... okay? There must be something else. We can't use spell damage with this but it is a battlecry. I guess it would be a decent board clear with old Brann Bronzebeard. Probably not at all what people were hoping for either way.
It is scheduled for 12-1pm pdt. Hearthpwn for whatever reason is counting down to 1pm which doesn't make much sense. I don't think it is a stream either so unsure exactly when we will get the images.
I think I can get it. 12pm is when the stream begins but the actual card reveal won't happen then, so they are probably aiming for when they will update: post stream.
It also prevents the occasional "It's 12:01, AND THERE"S NOTHING THERE! HOW DARE YOU DIEIDIEIDIEIEIDIEDIDEIDEIEDIDIEIDE"
You're right, they wouldn't be that quick anyway Kek
It's a damn shame Finley is a paladin card, I'd pretty much run him in every deck. I hope the new set gives us a new Paladin Archetype because this will see zero play in the Shirvallah OTK deck.
Not trying to defend this card or anything but a lot of people seem to think that you need to build a highlander deck to make this work. This is not true, you just need no duplicates in your deck.
That my opponent not always draws perfectly on curve. Once in a blue moon - ok. But too often my deck tracker shows perfect 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mana plays when I die.

Great hero powers for aggro: Dire Shapeshift, Ballista Shot, Fireblast Rank 2, The Silver Hand, Poisoned Dagger
Decent hero powers for aggro: Totemic Slam (basically just Reinforce with the option to go taunt if you need it), Soul Tap
Bad hero powers for aggro: Heal, Tank Up!
The way I see it, even the worst-case outcome (none of the first five show up) is still okay, and that's only a 1/21 chance (4.76%). Aggro definitely wants this.
There's a complex infinite that you can pull off with this. Let's say you have three cards in your hand: two copies of Elise, likely gotten through Zola the Gorgon or Baleful Banker, with one copy's cost reduced to 0 with Dreampetal Florist; and a Naturalize that, through an effect like Emperor Thaurissan, also costs 0. You play the 5-cost Elise and get a copy of your 0-cost Elise and Naturalize, the latter of which you use to kill your own Elise and force your opponent to draw two cards. You're now right back where you started, except that now both copies of Elise in your hand cost 0! Keep playing Elise and Naturalize until you kill your opponent through fatigue. Far too convoluted to make any waves in Wild, but a neat concept nevertheless.
At first glance this seems pretty exciting until you realise that most of the value gained from hand-duplication is lost in the highlander requirement. For the moment the only reason I see to play this would be floop into floop into ????, but that seems veeery slow.
I doubt that it's wortg the buildaround, but I think this card is pretty underrated. It's very similar to Dyn-o-matic, which was so thought to be weak until it was actually played. 10 damage is a lot on turn 6, and the statline is good at combating whatever is left. Will be insane in wild Reno mage.
It's a damn shame Finley is a paladin card, I'd pretty much run him in every deck. I hope the new set gives us a new Paladin Archetype because this will see zero play in the Shirvallah OTK deck.
A shame that this can't go face, but 10 missiles to your opponent's minions is quite a strong effect regardless on a minion this size. Double Reno Mage in Wild may indeed be a thing.
This looks pretty goshdarn meh compared to Kazakus or old Reno. I suppose you run it in wild if you're already playing highlander mage but I doubt this by itself is enough to warrant a highlander deck in standard.
Reno isn't bad. It can give you tempo by clearing the opponent's board and giving you a 4/6 body, but I doubt conjurers mage would give up extra copies of cheap spells and double [Hearthstone Card (mana cyclone/card] just to make this card work. Maybe he can fit in some fun deck with Luna's Pocket Galaxy and a thousands of legendaries.
Brann might be the most favorable to work, since it can be copied/bounced with Baleful Banker and Youthful Brewmaster for extra 8 damage, and Hunter has a lot of powerful cards, so its easier to build a deck around it.
Elise, in my opinion, has the coolest effect. She might fit in a Value/Combo build, but in standard Druid doesn't have a lot of tools to survive agains't aggro, so that might be a problem to make this one good.
Finnley seems to be better in some short of Highlander Tempo Paladin, consireding that 6 out of 9 of the upgraded Hero Powers are really good for agressive builds, and the class seems to be getting some extra aggro cards this expansion.
I hate these kinds of card design that summon already existing Legendary cards and isn't a continuous effect. It often just feels tacked on. "Hey, why not have a legendary card that, get this, SUMMONS another Legendary card! Isn't that great!?"

The other legendary card is a quest.

You think the developers didn't think of that? Just you wait till they release a counter to bombs in order to push highlander decks.

People seem to forget, that a deck with duplicates can still include this card. Just all of them need to be drawn before she is played.
There are some crazy combos to be made with it:
Aviana + Kun the Forgotten King + Elise the Enlightened + 2xMalygos + Gloop Sprayer gives +20 spellpower (doable already with Faceless Manipulator) and doubles all the spells on top of that.

Your 3 wishes
I am not greedy. I just want one wish:
That my opponent not always draws perfectly on curve. Once in a blue moon - ok. But too often my deck tracker shows perfect 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mana plays when I die.
One wish only....

Sir Finley seems to be the best option
The Four Legendary Explorers of Saviors of Uldum Have Been Revealed!
Considering how highlander isnt worth it in standard atm can we actually say that T5 printed this cards for Wild?
Maybe, but im sure morw support will come either from neutral cards and even for the next exps

Reno lost his hat.
If every time he uses the gatling wand he destroy a hat, maybe that hat shipping order from Gadgetzan have sense at all.
Maybe some hint hidden?

I don't think it'll be very strong but the idea of summoning King Krush(es) is appealing to me.

I think only sir finley has potential because its an ongoing effect and can be "fished" with Witchwood Piper

He has a low cost so he can maybe get tutored by 4 mana 3/3 demon (can't remember the name). But that is a strech and maybe not very viable
