This is quite incredible. I always loved when they gave out fairly accessible cards early our / before the release (be that from Adventures, like Prince Malchezar, or pre-release, like Marin), but this is on another level. This card seems playable and just great, it can be a real nice addition to pretty much any F2P / low budget deck and actually be quite relevant. While Marin was more of a fun and flavourful legendary, this one is quite good.
The possibilities with this card seem endless, though it might just be too risky to use with damage spells that don't have a guaranteed enemy minion(s) or hero as target (or healing spells that don't target you) since it could just as easily mess up your entire game.
In wild, with Emperor Thaurissan, you can include it to get your OTK in even more ways:
With 1 discount from Emperor Thaurissan you can have a 6 mana Prophet Velen + 3 mana Archmage Vargoth + 2x 1 mana Mind Blast for 30 damage, and that is just one of the many ways this card can make your win condition more flexible.
Of course, he could just as easily copy your coin, but sometimes the risk is worth the reward.
It's just one of many ways though, so you could just as easily use it for an extra Holy Nova or Spirit Lash for example to get you to your OTK turn.
Actually, theese are all mtg arts. And the name 'war of the dark' refers to 'war of the spark' upcoming mtg set, that's where the joke about 36 pl..heroes also comes from
Really nice card to fool around with. Lots of combo potential in several classes. I think I will use it to give gallery priest another shot before the rotation hits.

Shadows did an 11/10 job with this one. The turnaround on it was amazing.
New Legendary Card - Archmage Vargoth
Turn 9 Alexstrasza turn 10 Archmage Vargoth + 2 x Mind Blast? Then Mind Blast nerfed / Hall of Famed as it's been haunting faces for too long? xD
New Rare Paladin Spell - Call to Adventure
I'm sure someone will devise a deck that takes advantage of this. However, this card is not going to make anyone forget Divine Favor in Standard.

Future expansions will be handled better, including having countdowns. Expect this to all get resolved =)

I mean....it's card draw in paladin but it's not exactly cost efficient. Don't know what you would actually use this for

Works cool withImmortal Prelate. Other than that it's pretty slow

New Warrior Weapon - Wrenchcalibur
Bomb warrior probably will be the first new deck I want to try. The core might consist of Augmented Elekk, Clockwork Goblin, Wrenchcalibur, Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, The Boomship and Hakkar, the Soulflayer. I'm not sure yet about Seaforium Bomber... and there's the question of how to finish the deck. Surely lots of control stuff, but maybe even dragons because of the synergy with the boomship and why not?
New Rogue Legendary - Tak Nozwhisker
This + Prep + Academic Espionage will def. turn out to be a strong combo. Like the card.
Rise of Shadows
Rogue is looking good!
